Threshold Experience - Exploring a Power Sandwich
Last Updated: April 9, 2021

This page
is one of a series where I share a personal experience or anecdote related
to my Reiki work. The pages are also intended to give you some "food
for thought" and add to your overall Reiki knowledge base. While
the experience has been my own, I feel that you should decid for yourself
how much (if any) of the content has any usefulness to your own Reiki work.
Remember the healing
attunement? It is a concept of using an attunement type ceremony
but for healing purposes only (no energies are being attuned.) If
you have friends who are also
Reiki Masters, and you like to explore things with them, you might try
this idea using such a ceremony. A long time ago one
of my local Reiki Master friends went to Detroit USA to learn William
Rand's new post master level class open to all masters. Later
this would become his Karuna Reiki Master class. She also took a
class with his friend and Qigong master, Glenn Derrick, who was
responsible for 4 of the Karuna symbols' energy (after seeing them in a
K. Milner handout.) When she came back to Vancouver she wanted to
try these out on others. She asked to give me a healing
attunement but she didn't tell me she would use 20 symbols. After
the attunement I could not move for several minutes. I felt I was
stuck
to my chair.
  Not
long afterwards I came across the concept of a Reiki Power
Sandwich. I was learning the Sekhem-Seichim-Reiki system (SSR)
from Tom Rigler. There are quite a few symbols in the combined
energy system and one part of the class suggests a way of combining the
symbols into what can be considered a "sandwich." Here is an
example from the SSR book "All Love" by Diane Shewmaker. You can
see that your would draw the first Reiki symbol as the opening and
closing, hence imitating the bread in a food sandwich. Of course
this assumes you have been attuned to each of these symbols with the
original energiues. It seems that the intention of such a method
is to apply enough energy influence to either break through or erode an
energy block responsible for a person's undesired condition.  This is just one example of the use of this. Any other combination of symbols could be used.
DISCLAIMER: I would caution that you might ask within if it is appropriate to use this combination on yourself or on someone else, and also that you ask permission to use it from the intended recipient. As can be understood from my own experiences, sometimes unusual amounts and styles of energies brought together can have unintended results for the recipient. You might want to begin with just 3 or 4 symbols and work your way up. In most cases there are no requirements for the order of the symbols and how often they are included. I suggest trying this first with Reiki practitioners or masters. At least they will ahve had a certain experience with similar energies. Combning energies doesn't
need to be restricted to symbols, as is indicated by the SSR method of
combining 3 different energies. Years later I was reminded of my
healing attunement experience when 3 of my master level friends got
together since Tom Rigler was visiting, and so we were practing the
Gendai reiju ceremony. I was expecting to receive reiju from my
friend Jaime and sat with my eyes closed. Then I heard my other
friend Warren reminding Jaime of the procedure. Then there was
quiet. Suddenly I felt tremendou pressure on my head and then I
found I could not move from the chair for several minutes. They had surprised me when all 3 gave me Gendai reiju using Gendai Reiki energy at the
same time. They were all impressed with this result so we did the same on each of the others. And each of them had similar results.
Then I
shared a little personal experience with my friends by means of a
demonstration. I asked my wife to
come and sit for the same experience. She agreed and this time
all 4 of us did the reiju
together on her at the same time. Afterwards she just there,
smiled, said it felt "nice" and then
got up and went back to finish what she was doing in the kitchen.
My friends were very amazed. I told them that one day my guides
explained my wife's energy abilities to me. They said she was like a
huge energy sponge, that she could hold much more energy than I could,
and
that it would be some time before I could catch up to her. That
was well over 20 years ago. I am still catching up.
