Hi

Yes the clock is battery operated, and when it runs low it commonly stutters on individual seconds but doesnt run backwards. I did also check the battery and it is fine. The clock kept perfect time over the 24 hour period between practices- and again yesterday did its going backwards trip during practice time- although I only lost a couple of minutes this time.

I positioned the clock slightly differently, but within 2 metres of where it was last time and the effect is still there. A friend into Reiki reports his wife's watch broke on her attunement so maybe this is similar.

I have only the one clock large enough to use without having to interrupt pracice by picking it up and looking at it but I will experiment with positioning and distances from body.

I generally practice PM but have varied times. Also the clock is mechanical.

Thanks for your replies.

Take care

Rich
