Why don't I LISTEN???The man is a good friend. His wife is one of my best female friends. I have had dreams of them before, but it's always been of them as a couple.
Larry is a little jealous of him (Steve). I did Reiki on him over a year ago and ever since we've had a "connection". It was because of that experience that gave me the extra push to pursue the next step in Reiki. Steve is 6 years older and has had heart stints, and also Bypass Surgery.
Because of Larry's jealousy, I've not been in touch with either Faye or Steve since Christmas. They were aware of the situation and had not pursued communication.
On Wednesday night I had a very abstract dream.........lots of stuff, but stuck in the middle of it was a very clear part with Larry answering the phone. He sticks the phone out at me and says sarcastically, " It's SOMEONE for YOU."
I take the phone and it's Steve. He needs to speak to me about something........And then it ENDS!!!
It was a clear message for me that I should call them..........BUT I DIDN'T LISTEN. I kept saying to myself, I need to contact them......but I didn't!
Yesterday (Friday) Faye e-mailed and said Steve isn't doing very well. His heart is acting up again. What didn't help Larry was that HE read the e-mail first and started reading it to me. I responded with, "Oh, yes. I had a dream about something being wrong." (He didn't take that very well. I should have kept my mouth shut.)
I called them after dinner and got the details. It turns out that it was Wednesday that Steve received word of a series of tests he'd had and things weren't good..........Both Steve and Faye panicked a bit......but they have calmed down since then.
Obviously I picked up on the emotions going on.......but I kick myself for not listening to the signs. It could have been a lot worse and I wouldn't have been there!
When am I going to start LISTENING to the SIGNS!?

What's wrong Boo Boo
Acting human is quite normal
Sometimes not acting on information
Has the same results as acting on information
We are only pawns in a much bigger game
You did what you did
Let it go and learn

Wise words Hermit. Boo, you and I know Larry....we have men in our lives we loved and cared for in times past, dear friends...and the husband of yours has to accept that. have you not been patient with his (ahem) friends. If you feel moved now, contact and help if you wish it, if they wish it. Know my prayers come to help....you know you can do this..you've done it in times past...those connections don't end they adapt and so should he.

If you feel drawn to, can you send reiki unobtrusively?

I love this Owl's flight
I agree with you on sending healing
If you are drawn to do something
Then do it
This is a mine field amongst Reiki therapist's
Some believe that you should be asked for permission
Some believe that if you feel its right then it is
Some people that you send healing to have the same problems
They believe that it should not be sent if they do not ask for it
Others have no such reservations
I'll go with my thought's
Because I have only there health at heart
Now those that disagree believe that its my ego talking
If someone wants to go in to self destruct mode
Then that is there choice and it's not my place to interfere
Its there karma to live there lives and not mine to interfere
May your force go with you and may all your choices be easy

Well  I am a Reiki therapist and I have been known to send without permission. There are those who will  but as you say friend Hermit, there is no harm in the intent to help, if it isn't wanted or needed there is no harm done. The ego thing I have been accused of but in my heart I know my intent to help is good and pure. Ask our friend Owl's hubby!  Many is the time there is no time or way to ask permission but we are drawn to help, to heal if we can...I will not believe this is in any way wrong. 
Boo, you and your friend have always had the connection, he was grateful when you sent long ago before you even had your level ll and he felt you, no harm, just good. If your heart and soul say send, send with love and good intent, you know it will help.

I am sending it to him..........I've done it without his conscious permission before, but he always seems to know when I do. Interestingly, he makes note of it and even when we don't communicate for weeks (or months) he will pinpoint the dates.......and he's always right on.
Owl..........You brought up a very valid thought. You could be right that Steve and I had a relationship of some sort in a previous life. I also suspect that his wife, Faye, and I did. When we all met initially, we ALL were instantly friends. It was as if we had always known eachother.
What makes it complicated is, Larry's Bi-Polar. Plus, we loaned them money back in the day when we had it......They've paid us back a few hundred dollars at a time, plus gifted us some various things.......(We all were in the Antique Business together at one time.) But they still owe us and Larry uses that as a reason for feeling resentful and negative. But then his jealousy crops up, which is another facet to a complicated situation.
Larry is a good man.......and I love him. But because of the Bi-Polar, his views can get warped (in my opinion.) . And when he really likes someone he goes overboard with being generous.......not just with a loan but with doing favors. But then if a person isn't able to reciprocate, he gets resentful.......It happens over and over........I wish I could pull the reigns in on him with that, but when I try he looks at me as if I'm selfish. And that's PART of the background with Steve and Faye........
Sorry, this is so long........but relationships are never simple. Thank God that Steve and Faye are aware of Larry's Bi-Polar. They've seen the cycle happen twice now over the years, so they pulled back but still tried to contact me periodically. They understand that with time, balance will come back.........
In the meantime, there is STILL the connection, and I cannot stop it and as long as Steve is receptive to receiving, I will send Reiki to him. ........ God and His Energy doesn't worry over our human silliness.
Thanks for letting me ramble, my friends......

BooBoo, having had two bi-polar men in my life, my first husband and my BIL and I understand totally what it is like to deal with Larry. Complicated people to live with for sure! I know you said Larry is a good man and you love him but that doesn't mean that you should give up relationships with friends or even not say things that you are thinking-you mentioned it was a mistake to mention your dreams about Steve. You are who you are and Larry has to learn to deal with his jealous tendencies and emotions, you don't need to tiptoe around and give up friends, as you already know it doesn't make the jealous tendencies go away anyway. You, my dear, are a wonderful lady with many gifts, let your light shine and when your husband's issues come to the forefront assure him he has nothing to worry about and carry on with being the woman you are meant to be with no apologies to anyone!

Mofeta, You're bringing me to tears. Maybe because you are right. It's never easy. Nothing is cut and dried. You obviously have an idea of what I live with.....A very loving brilliant generous man........who can drive a person crazy!
As my father said to me......He said it in regard to my mother and then repeated it to me about Larry with a smile. "One thing you'll always be guaranteed of.......You'll never be bored."
Thank you for your message. I should save it and let it sink in, I think.
