It has been said that energy flows where attention
goes. Where someone focuses
their attention, that is, where their chi will go. This is how the healing
method of reiki works and how the method of Buddhist prayer as well. When
someone directs their positive thoughts towards a particular form, such as a
loved one, it is said that this additional energy will manifest itself in a positive form.
Sending positive energy and healing hope will have a beneficial effect. If
positive thoughts are sent into the global consciousness, then there will be
less animosity, hatred, anger, and other malevolent emotions. That is why
Tibetan Buddhists use prayer flags. The prayer is directed onto the flag and
the wind is said to carry the prayer around the world. Although there is no
scientific proof this works, the positive mental thoughts are in my view
beneficial to both the sender and the receiver.
