What is Reiki?
Reiki Healing ... Rei means Universal, Ki means energy
Reiki,(ray-key) the ancient Japanese healing art, was rediscovered in the mid 1800's by Dr. Mikao Usui. He was challenged by his students at the University of Kyoto. They wanted to know why he could talk about but not demonstrate the healing phenomenons that Jesus performed.
He visited a Zen Buddhist Monastery where he found Sanskrit texts describing the healing formula, but they did not explain how to activate the energy. Next Dr. Usui went to Mt. Koriyama for a 3 week retreat of prayer, fasting and meditation. He selected 21 rocks to count each passing day. The last day of his quest he saw a bright light coming toward him. Initially he considered running from it. He decided to accept the light as an answer to his meditation, even if it meant his death.
The first Reiki attunement
A very strong feeling overcame him and he felt an energy pass through his body from his crown chakra. The light struck him between the eyes and knocked him unconscious. Next he saw colored light particles floating like bubbles in front of him. Soon Reiki symbols appeared. He also learned how to activate the healing energy in the phenomenal rediscovery of this ancient healing method. He called this healing energy and power Reiki.
He was so overwhelmed by this healing ability that he wished to share it with as many people as he could reach. and began his Reiki practice, in Tokyo. He died at the age of 62.
His system of healing was passed down through his students. It was brought to the west by Hawayo Takata, a Japanese American living in Hawaii. She was a young mother of two children, who was terminally ill. She travelled to Japan in search of an alternative form of healing to save here life, since western medicine could give her no hope. She went to Chujiro Hayashi's Clinic (a Master of Reiki trained by Usui) After her treatment at Hayashi's Clinic was successful, Takata became a student of Reiki.
She went back to Hawaii and practiced until Hayashi summoned her. When Hayashi knew a war was coming and that he would not be able to continue teaching Reiki, he conferred the Master level on Takata so that she could teach in the western world. Now there are thousands of Reiki practitioners throughout the world.
REIKI works on the spiritual, mental, emotional and physical bodies.
REIKI brings balance and harmony back into the body including balancing the chakras as well as the auric and etheric fields.
REIKI supports the body's own natural abilities to heal itself.
REIKI promotes a state of relaxation.
REIKI is a gentle, subtle energy that works at the core level to promote healing at that level so, it can begin to bring wellness to the whole body.
With Reiki the practitioner facilitates the healing by channeling the energy so the body CAN HEAL itself.
I am a non-traditional Reiki Master.
Reiki I
I learned the history, the principles, and differences between Reiki and other healing techniques, self-healing, how to heal others, physical healing, healing plants, animals etc. I was introduced to healing guides and angels through a meditation that will assists in healing. I received the first symbol of Reiki to use and empower physical healing sessions, and learned other important uses of this symbol.
Reiki II
I worked with healing emotions, distant or absentee healing, group healing, clearing crystals, using crystals with Reiki healing. I was introduced to two more symbols for emotional healing, distant healing, past life work and accessing the akashic records.
Clients are fully clothed during Reiki and Theta Healing sessions except for shoes. Reiki and Theta Healing are never intrusive or invasive. Reiki works from the outside in to the body. Theta Healing works from the inside out of the body. Both are valid and powerful healing techniques.
