You are awareness itself, also known as prescence, spirit or True Self. The feeling of you, self, beingness, amness or I is merely an identification of this pure awareness with something in the mind. It is not who you are. The moment when You start to experience something, an inner and an outer world is being created also known as duality. You can then say awareness is the ability to feel, perceive, or experience objectively and sentience is the ability to feel, perceive, or experience subjectively. Without the identification, such as in the state of self-realization, only the pure awareness remains.

Reiki, kundalini, qigong and all other energetic methods is actually pure awareness flowing into, through and out of the body. Yet this pure awareness is a product of the brain and central nervous system and the moment it goes inactive such as in general anethysia or nirvikalpa samadhi (a deep state of meditation) no more awareness remains. Awareness is not isolated in a specific part of the brain but is in fact a product of a network of different parts of the brain and the nervous system. If awareness is really expanded, the whole spinal cord and every nerve in the body is part in producing the awareness. When awareness ceases, such as in a coma, you are no more. Nothing remains, no soul, no spirit, no true self. When developing awareness to the other extreme, such as in nirvikalpa samadhi, you also cease to exist. The ultimate end is death or the rainbow body. Past life recall and exteriorization are all abilities of awareness to connect to other awareness in space and time. Even crystals is nothing else then awareness linking to the flower of life and cleaning itself in the process.
