I lived in Indonesia for seven years and it was a way of life for me everyday to live in a barbed wire compound with security guards and dogs surrounding you and bars on all your windows and doors... and to be prepared to run at any moment's notice... but it stopped bothering me since Reiki Tummo. Before I used to fear for my life and my family life, twenty-four hours a day, but after Reiki Tummo, I no longer feared.

I live in Singapore right now. Prior to living in Indonesia, I lived in Texas, grew up in Ohio. My mother and father are still in Ohio. I grew up on a farm and was true 4-Her. I bailed hay and slopped the hogs and milked the cows and gathered and sold eggs.

At 22 I left Ohio and moved to Texas. I wanted to get off the farm and see the big city life. Then I met my husband, got married and lived there for fourteen years. Seven years ago, his job took us to Indonesia. We were only supposed to be there for two years, but God needed me to do something there. When I arrived, there were few English-speaking people there.

I have been so fortunate to be able to learn from Master Irman for almost three years now. I was seeking my spirit before I met him. I was doing this on my own. I had many issues with religion and it was not satisfying me, not giving me the answers. I had a funny thing happen to me. Oprah came on TV one day and she said: "You need to write a grateful journal."

And I thought, ok but what will this do - to write five things I am grateful for every day. It was amazing how that step lead me further. Then I broke some bones in my foot on a trip to Bali. After returning, a friend said let me help you and give you a healing. I was very skeptical, but I said ok, can't hurt right? He gave me a healing and I felt this hot ball in my foot and then it began to itch so intensely that I had to ask him to stop. He asked me to wait and let the energy work. So I did and I stood up and all the pain was gone. I went straight to get an x-ray and all the bones were fused back together.

Then, he asked me to attend the workshop. I was again skeptical. It was in Indonesian language only and I did not understand enough for a workshop, but they promised to have someone translate for me. So I went. I sat thru RT1 with little translation, got frustrated and was not sure I would return. But I had promised my friend, so I did it for him. The next day, in RT2 I got really frustrated when learning group healing and freaked out, so to speak. I was going to leave and my friend asked me to go out and calm down. I did. Then Master Irman came out to go to the restroom. He saw me there and smiled (his wonderful smile) and asked what was wrong. I told him that I did not understand all this and was going to leave. He said, "Can I help you?" I said: "Sure if you can explain it all to me all over again." He stayed with me the rest of the workshop in the lobby and taught me again. I asked many questions of which one was about a friend who was ill. He asked me to channel energy to my friend and as I did, I felt this incredible burst of energy come over me that was so overwhelming but so beautiful and wonderful. I shouted, "Whoa, what was that?" He just smiled and said quietly: "Special for you."

He stayed with me and asked me if I could see energy? Of course to the naked eye, nothing, but I could see some waves of energy. It was incredible. He asked me if I wanted to see more. I said sure and did not know what was up. He told me that we would first go into the workshop and awaken my kundalini. He stood behind me and guided me the whole time and gave me personal attunement. Then I could see the aura. He asked me if I wanted to learn more and I said of course. He took me into the attunement room and had a child to do attunement on. He had me sit in a chair about six feet away and told me to try to observe. It was fantastic. I could see the energy ball. I could see the energy coming from his hands. I could see the energy flowing all over the room as if it was a sparkler on the 4th of July. He brought others in to see if they could experience this also. They could not yet. That was my first experiences of Reiki. They get better.

I practiced daily seriously and could feel the Divine energy cover me and began to be able to tell the difference in different people's energy. Master Irman kept in contact with me via the internet. To my knowledge at this time, I was the first English-speaking white person to learn this. It was difficult because of the language barrier. Then, I went to RT3a class. I did not want to go to 3a. I thought of the money, as I had to pay US dollars and not the rate of Indonesia as I was a foreigner. But I finally realized that I was only finding excuses, so I went. Master Irman and Master Okky were teaching. Master Okky took over and Irman came down from the front to me and asked me how I was doing now. I told him I had lost my sight, that I could not see clairvoyantly anymore. He asked, why? I said, "It is like I put it on a shelf somewhere and can't find it." He said, "You want me to help you find it?" I said "sure."

So he asked me to relax and to tell him what he was holding in his hand. If I could tell, him he would give it to me. Oh boy. I hate tests! And this same one again? What if I answer wrong, I thought. But it doesn't hurt to try, so I focused and I could see something, but could not make out what it was. It was like a small box or maybe not a box but something that was enclosing another item. "What was this?" I asked. He smiled. Then, I realized that I could see it, (it did not matter what it was) so what was I talking about when I said I lost my sight. Then he gave the Shing Chi attunement. Well, you would not believe me after that. I was smiling and talking fifty miles a minute and so happy I was bouncing off the walls with joy. Everyone was amazed at how I reacted, but I could not stop smiling. Master Irman was grinning.

I met Master Irman several times at a few retreats and workshops after that and experienced much more. I learned much truth. I will save my experience of Higher Consciousness for another time as I don't want to influence you until you have your own experiences.

All I can say is, I know and love God and have seen the throne of God and I know who I am and what my purpose is. All of this is in the Universe already, Everyone can choose to surrender and learn of it. I am still learning. The journey is long, but the time is short. We must light as many lights to shine brighter to light up the whole existence. We have been given the way. The key is the heart and the way is surrender. Don't wonder, focus. It is like this for me, when one dies, I understand more now about the journey. The journey of others is not for us to determine or to focus on. It is our journey that will lead us home and those who come into our journey are there for us to learn from and to be lead also to the light. This is the time of opportunity. Many chances are being given. You meet people because they are a part of your journey. People don't really go away from our lives, they just become less important for what you must learn at that particular time.

I came to this far away place for a reason, not my reason mind you, but God's reason, for me to learn something. When I came here, I was so upset with God. I asked, "Why did you bring me to this awful place when I know I can have better?" God was helping me to learn to listen to my heart, to let my spirit learn some very important lessons, to get closer to Him, to begin to have small realizations to be able to return home. But it takes time. It did not happen overnight. I've been here seven years and three years of learning Reiki Tummo. To me it is not learning to be a healer, it is spirituality that is more important, but we must go to kindergarten first before we can go to university. The most important part of learning is to open our heart and strengthen our heart and let our heart lead us to learn and receive the best of the best.

Master Irman has learned and I have learned and others have learned to ease the way. The answers are all within our heart. To access them, we must relax.. smile …open our hearts and surrender. I have found that it is a simple matter. It is us humans that make it hard. For example, I went to Indonesia. I had already learned to speak English, but then I had to learn Indonesian language. It was hard for me. But why? Indonesian is a very simple language and I realized that I had learned a difficult language first, thus when I was trying to learn Indonesian, a simple language, I could not understand it because it was so simple and I was making it hard to learn because I was trying to compare it to English, the language that I already knew. I could not understand how to learn something simple because I had already mastered something complex. I knew it had to be as complex as English and I were just not getting it. When I finally relaxed and understood it was a simple language, I was able to learn it much easier. We as humans make our learning difficult, when it really is simple.

One thing I have learned from all my experiences is simple… Relax… Smile more sweetly… Focus to your heart….let go …Surrender … and most of all… Enjoy the Divine love and light blessings always!

May all hearts be open and light the whole existence brighter to become One in the True Source…the one above all beings!

Much love and light and heart smiles!:):
