Relaxing Into
Reiki
Reiki Today
Reiki is an ancient healing art that has recently been re-discovered
in Japan. With the resurrection of Reiki in this age of mass and almost
instantaneous communication, word of its power is quickly gaining the
attention of the mainstream world. The mode of transmission of Reiki
energy from a Reiki practitioner to a recipient was originally believed,
by those interested in this art, to be limited by physical proximity. The
Reiki practitioner would place their hands gently on, or a few inches
above the
Reiki recipient's body. Upon further exploration of the potential of
Reiki, "sending" the energy to the recipient or situation has proven to be
just as beneficial as Reiki "hands-on" sessions. In fact, those who are
too busy to carve out the time for a Reiki session can now go about their
business while receiving the energy. Reiki Masters, such as myself, have
directed Reiki energy to boardrooms, pets, surgical procedures,
courtrooms, business offices, plants and even sporting events. Reiki
distance energy healing has become a viable option for those who would
rather not have a "hands-on" session, are home bound, or simply don't have
the time for a session. After experimenting with this mode of
transmission, I was utterly amazed at the results. One year of daily
remote sessions to a seriously disabled arthritic friend ended up just
about eliminating the crippling condition. Today this friend is not only
employed, but is doing work that requires physical movement and stamina.
As the power of Reiki spreads, individuals seeking Reiki energy now have
more options in weaving treatments into their schedules and lifestyles.
Origin of Reiki Energy
The origin of this powerful healing energy is believed to be divine.
It is the same energy that has been channeled by all the historically
famous healing giants. Regardless of its source, or why it works, the
results are always positive and directed toward the best outcomes. There
is no danger of misuse or abuse. Reiki energy cannot be forced. An
individual simply will not take in what it does not want. When Reiki
energy is accepted, the highest good of all prevails. The recipient of
Reiki need not study, understand or believe in its power and beauty. In
fact, the recipient need not be awake while receiving the energy. Reiki
energy always delivers the highest good. Considering the source, how could
it do anything else? The only prerequisite is that the recipient, on a
soul level, really wants to heal. The positive effects of Reiki energy
could be quick and dramatic, or, take time to be noticed. The results are
unpredictable and pleasantly surprising. One simply needs to trust in the
intelligent nature of the source. An acute power of observation would be
handy, only to affirm its often subtle life changes and effects.
Foreign Name
Universally Accepted Energy
One need not be mislead or intimidated by Reiki's foreign name. Reiki is
called such because, as it happened, this old system of prayer and healing
was again returned to mankind via a Japanese man called Dr. Usui. The name
"Reiki" is Japanese because that was Dr. Usui's native language. This
healing art was known and utilized long before its resurgence under a
Japanese name. The divine is not concerned with nationality. When
utilizing Reiki energy, one is merely tapping into the magnanimous love of
the divine (God, life force, universe, Christ force, etc). Famous ancient
healers such as Jesus used the exact same source of energy as is used by
"Reiki." Jesus once said that all he can do can be done by us and even
more. The key ingredient is trust. As a Reiki Master, I have learned to
trust in the goodness and intelligence of this energy.
Applications and Limitations
The beauty of this divine love is that it does not discriminate between
believers and skeptics. Its power has been utilized to positively impact a
multitude of people and situations from NBA basketball games (calming
potentially volatile players) to conservative institutions such as Wall
Street. The healing power of Reiki can be directed toward individuals,
pets, plants, living/working spaces, businesses, situations and even
future events. This loving energy now called "Reiki" is incapable of
hurting other individuals for personal gain. Extremely specific requests
can be very limiting. One needs to reflect on the general desired outcome
behind the request. An example would be to ask for the "growth of one's
business." It would be more productive to ask what you would want from its
growth. It may be better to ask for "financial freedom." This broader
approach frees up the hands of the divine to send you your best outcome.
Reiki always works toward the best outcomes. When my clients present me
with a request, I will ask that the energy be utilized for the "highest
and best" of the individual or situation. It is good to remember that
one is only limited by their imagination and purity of intent.
Reiki Healing Facilitator
Training and Levels
An individual can receive Reiki from what is known as a "Reiki
practitioner." The practitioner can lightly place their hands on various
parts of the recipient's clothed body or, the practitioner can remotely
send the Reiki energy. In both distance and hands-on healing, the
recipient's own body's innate wisdom actually draws the energy through the
practitioner and directs it to its highest good. The healing occurs on a
soul determined priority basis. Healing can be physical, emotional or
spiritual. I always find it interesting and amazing to witness how the
healing unfolds. The practitioner is not responsible for making healing
decisions for the recipient. The recipient is the actual healer. The Reiki
practitioner merely acts as a conduit of the energy thus serving as a
"healing facilitator."
Those who believe in a supreme intelligence can elect to
believe the source to be divine, thus creating a cooperative union between
one's inner knowing (the soul), and the source (God). My personal
evaluation of its magnificent power places God/Universe/Source as the
ultimate source of this energy, however, one's personal beliefs or lack
thereof do not hinder nor enhance the results of a Reiki treatment.
Other healing modalities manipulate "Ki" or life energy. Examples include
the martial arts, acupuncture, therapeutic touch, and other forms of
"energy work." Reiki is different in that it is extremely focused and need
not be guided by a special effort or entering an altered state. The energy
destination is divinely directed.
Going through a special intensive training certifies a
Reiki practitioner. The training is conducted by a Reiki Master/Teacher
and includes a sacred ceremony called an "attunement." Generally,
only after being attuned, can one channel the Reiki energy.
There are different levels and abilities of a Reiki practitioner. To
advance from one level to another, a perspective Reiki practitioner must
receive an "attunement". Generally, a person cannot channel Reiki energy
without this ceremony. The first level is Reiki I. A Reiki I practitioner
is empowered to channel Reiki energy by physically touching an individual
with their hands. There must be physical proximity. A Reiki II
practitioner is able to "send" the Reiki energy as well as giving hands-on
treatments. Again, a special attunement is required to move to this
advanced level. The Reiki II practitioner can direct Reiki energy to an
individual, plant or animal or situation. When feasible, permission is
required. In cases when granting permission is not possible, the Reiki
practitioner can seek soul-approval. The next level is Reiki III. A Reiki
III practitioner is known as a Reiki Master. In addition to the abilities
of Reiki I and II, Reiki III practitioners are empowered with the ability
to give attunements. A great deal of training by the master occurs prior
to, and then after, the attunement.
Future or Past Event
Reiki distance healing energy can be sent to a past or future event. A
childhood trauma can be relieved of its grip on a suffering adult. An
important exam or presentation can be performed with a commanding
calmness. A Reiki II trained police officer can send Reiki into a home
where a disturbed individual is about to harm themselves or others. Reiki
sent to hospice patients could reduce the pain and anxiety of those about
to expire. Peace would replace fear. One preparing for surgery could
experience less pain, lose less blood, and have a faster recovery. I
choose the word "could" because the use of the energy is determined by the
recipient's soul. The only guarantee is that the Reiki energy is going to
the highest good. It always does.
Situations and Corporations
Situations can often benefit from Reiki energy. The Reiki energy gently
works to produce harmony and clarity where anxiety and discord had
prevailed. Both the home and workplace are excellent targets of Reiki
energy. Relationships that are "stuck" are moved toward the highest good
of all. The end results could be resolution or dissolution. All parties
will have the opportunity to move toward their higher good. Corporate
teams across the country have been utilizing Reiki as a gentle catalyst
toward harmony and greater productivity. Dysfunctional teams have moved
toward harmony and trust while corporations reap the benefits. Homes and
workplaces that just didn't "feel good" have been cleared of negative
residual energies using Reiki's infinite power.
Emotional Paralysis
Emotional paralysis resulting from an unexpected loss, event or
confrontation responds quickly to hands-on or remotely sent Reiki energy.
The individual will experience a calmness and clarity that will help them
make rational decisions as to their course of action. Thus far, a majority
of my Reiki distance energy treatments are to individuals who have lost
their ability to function due to an emotional upset. Hurts inflicted by
loved ones rank high on the list for producing an emotional paralysis. The
individual is so gripped with emotion that they cannot even secure medical
or psychological assistance. I am still in awe as to the power of Reiki to
bring peace to where there was once chaos.
Reiki Distance Treatments
Scientific Evidence
The beauty of Reiki distance healing is its practicality and its power. As
a trained scientist, I can understand the need to have more than anecdotal
evidence. Only after I experienced the power of Reiki first hand did I
truly believe in its authentic power. For those of you who would like to
seek out some data, I can direct you to some scientific evidence. Distance
Reiki is energy directed like a powerful prayer. By "prayer" I am speaking
of directing your energy rather than asking for divine favors. Dr. Larry
Dossey has documented scientific studies on the power of prayer. Before
Dr. Dossey's early book, "Healing Words" was published in 1993, only three
U.S. medical schools had courses exploring the role of prayer in health.
Currently, nearly fifty medical schools offer such courses. The majority
of them use Dr. Dossey's books as the textbooks for the courses.
References are made to controlled double-blind experiments with unknowing
groups of human patients. The results affirm the undeniable power of
prayer.
A second set of experiments that can be researched are those conducted by
Bruce and John Klingbeil, the founders of Spindrift. Their experiments on
prayer utilized simple organisms instead of humans. The choice of less
complex subjects reduced the variables inherent in human studies. As
expected, prayer significantly affected the germination of seeds as well
as vitality of various lower organisms such as yeast and molds.
As a certified and experienced Reiki Master/Teacher, I
view the acceptance of Reiki energy as both preventative and healing
intervention. The amount of time and sessions required varies from
individual to individual. I have observed that major life changes and
physical healings may take some time. It took a bit of time to create the
illnesses or situations, thus patience and trust are helpful. On occasion,
illnesses that are being forced from the body, actually get worse before
they get better. This is when it is so very important to continue with the
treatments. As your body is working to rid itself of toxins, it is
extremely important to drink large quantities of water and continue with
prescribed medical/psychological medications and recommendations. Reiki
should not be used as a substitute for medical care. It should be used as
a compliment to professional medical/psychological care medications and
recommendations.
