I don't know where that comes from but... Nothing to do with Karma as Karma is only a belief.
However, praying or sending prayers, healing or whatever is certainly inappropriate if the person doesn't agree or doesn't even know as it might not be for THEIR greater good!
I find that Many people tend to rely too much on outside influences.
We learned how to enter altered states of consciousness using the beat of a drum or marracas but...after a while...we also had to do it without it!
Anybody can enter alpha or theta waves if they set their mind to it, just by relaxing and breathing. Usually, a couple of minutes that's all it takes after some practice.
Do you know Sel, that intuitive communication with animals is done with Alpha waves?
Just by doing Reiki on the horses, in Alpha waves, I could communicate with them...by means of pictures. They showed me things that way.
One day a mare showed me that she had lost a foal once and she would love to have another one. Later the owner confirmed this.
On occasions while doing workshops I noticed that one or 2 participants were not ready, not at the required level, and hadn't even prepared for it. In which case I had to send them home and told them to come back when they were ready.
Well...what they shared with me were their healing techniques during many workshops, by doing the medicine wheel, a course on energy healing and transpersonal psychology over a period of 3 to 4 years. Also how to enter altered states of consciousness...without the use of any substance..for healing purposes.
That's right Sel. I was trained as a shaman and energy healing from master shamans of the Andes.
I can assure you Pedro that there is no religion involved. Shamans revere the elements and the sun and mother earth.
The conquistadors converted all south Americans to Catholicism against their will. But Some of them managed to escape and about 50 years ago revealed their well kept secrets of their medicine techniques to some chosen ones. That's when some well known anthropologists started to go to the Andes to learn their techniques and bring them to Europe.
RE: Do you hope to find your soul mate?
He's probably somewhere in another dimension.
