> 2.-Why didn't it happen like I'd liked? This ties in to what I stated above;
> sometimes we'd like for things to happen a certain way, thus doing Reiki

> times do you find yourself (maybe unconsciously) while giving yourself
> Reiki, or to better understand the analogy, praying, talking with God saying
> "Please help me to get a Scholarship for my son's college education"; X or Y
> circumstances end up you not getting the scholarship, and the forever
> familiar lethany of "Reiki doesn't work", or "God doesn't listen to me"!
> This isn't how the Universe is designed! Reiki has helped me understand this
> principal: Reiki, the Universe, God or whatever you want to call it, knows
> what's best for all involved; yes as I stated above, a very hard concept to
> grasp,/understand but... I guess life can throw us very pleasant surprises!

> 3.-What a surprise! Especially when things originally planned go awry, Reiki
> has a way of turning things around, or even worse/better (depending on how

> with something much much better, that changes one's life forever! This is

> Be grateful from your hart inward. Inner intention is the important element

> So appreciate/feel gratitude, and you'll begin to feel different! It'll take
