Introduction
Reiki (pronounced ray-kee) is a Japanese term which means universal life force energy. The system was recovered from ancient Indian texts about 150 years ago by Dr Mikao Usui, a Christian minister in Japan. For qi or vital energy that animates and sustains life, the Indian equivalent is prana, a key concept in yoga. The term prana was borrowed by Choa Kok Sui, a Filipino of Chinese extraction , who developed pranic healing more than a decade ago.
Although energy healing originated in India, Buddhism may have taken it to China, where qi was investigated further. It then became the basis of the martial arts and acupuncture, which believes that the flow of qi through the body's 12 meridians can be manipulated to cure disease.
But it was the legendary healing power of Jesus Christ that triggered the discovery of reiki by Dr Usui. The story goes that one of his students asked him whether he could heal like Jesus. DR Usui found the answer after years of combing through religious texts the world over. His search fructified in some Sanskrit-Tibetan sutras and he developed his own healing power through austerities and meditation before starting to teach.
Reiki officially came to India in January 1989 when a German master, Paula Horan, held a workshop in Bombay for about 30 people. One graduate, Shamal Durve, went on to train as a master. She and eight other masters are now part of the Reiki India Research Center near Mumbai, the only reiki cooperative in the country. They have initiated over 10,000 people into reiki and now plan a bigger retreat-cum-center near Mumbai.
When taught properly with love, dedication and commitment Reiki will transform your life for the better. Reiki is a form of Spiritual energy that was rediscovered by a wonderful man named Dr Usui in the early nineteenth century. He was searching for healing that could work with humans on the physical level. However, what he did discover was a formula for healing both the body and the spirit.
Dr Usui was the founder of The Reiki being taught today. Dr Usui believed that there was more to life than what he had been taught. He understood the teachings of the bible and of Buddhism but he believed there was more that he could learn. He travelled in search of this wisdom. Eventually he ended up meditating on a mountain for twenty-one days. On the 21st day he was hit with a beam of light that struck him on his forehead. This was the light of awakening. This light opened him to the parallels and different dimensions where beings of great wisdom and knowledge lived. These beings knew that he was looking for a formula and wisdom that could help people to heal in a natural way. They say that these beings showed him sacred symbols that were written in ancient Sanskrit. They showed him what these symbols represented when applied on a spiritual level. They then attuned him to the powers of Reiki.
On that day, Dr Usui brought the power of the universe down to the children of Mother Earth. Heaven had connected to earth. From that day on, the power of the great awakening had begun. They say that when he made his way down the mountain he tripped and fell, hurting his ankle. Instinctively he placed his hands on his ankle and immediately the swelling and pain went down. That was the first miracle of Reiki.
Making his way to a tavern, he sat down and asked for a large bowl of food. For twenty-one days he had fasted, and eating a large amount of food straight away would be harmful to him. However, when he ate, nothing happened. That was the second miracle of Reiki.
At the tavern, the owner's daughter was in great pain because of a toothache. Dr Usui’s hands began to get warm and he asked her if he could place his hands on the area that was causing her pain. As soon as he did this the pain vanished. This was the third miracle of Reiki.
Dr Usui now believed without a doubt that something had taken place up there on the mountain. Dr Usui spent the rest of his life working with people, doing healings and teaching other Masters and students how to work with Reiki. He did not have any real format or structure, it was Dr Hayashi who gave it it’s format and structure and then passed it on to Takata who took Reiki out to the world. Since then the power of Reiki has grown and evolved with the passing down of the Reiki. With each student and new Master, the Reiki energy grows and awakens even more wisdom and knowledge that has been denied us for so long.
Reiki is both hands on healing and also absentee healing. When Reiki is applied with dedication and commitment miracles can and do happen.
When working with Reiki energy on a person you find that you can lower stress within
their body. Stress is the major factor for illness in our society today. Stress and worry can cause the mind to break down which can cause illness to the body. With Reiki hands on healing, we are able to help a person lower their stress levels, which in turn helps them to control their level of worry, fear and stress and when we do that, a person is able to think straight and focus on positive outcomes in their lives.
Have you notice that when you are at peace with your personal world illness does not invade you as much as when you are worried or stressed out? Reiki healings can provide that level of healing to improve your life.
When someone is diagnose with a serious and life threatening illness there is a real fear and a sense of failure within themselves. You begin to feel like life has betrayed you in some way. With Reiki we are able to help a person feel good about themselves, to help them combat the fear and worry. Reiki will relax them and open them up on both a physical and spiritual level. Reiki helps you to believe that your life is worthy. When your confidence is high and your levels of stress, worry and fear are regulated then you are able to fight the illness with more confidence. When some illnesses can not be healed because a disease has taken over and death is imminent Reiki can help. Reiki can heal the soul and teach the person to accept death. This can make dying a less painful event. We believe the soul lives forever and Reiki can help the person come to terms with the dying process and even bring an inner sense of peace. At the point that the soul leaves the body at death, Reiki can guide the soul to the light and into the higher levels and dimensions, which aid a person through the rebirth process.
Uses of Reiki
Reiki can also be used on other living things like animals and plants.
Food also can be zapped as we say with the power of Reiki, so too can water. Reiki will do just about anything. So if you have a sick animal, you can use the power of Reiki on them to help heal and ease pain.
If a plant is dying or looking sick you can help it to revitalise and heal as well.
If your food or water tastes funny or tasteless, you can enhance their flavours by Reiking them.
Crystals can also be charged with Reiki, this is great if you use crystals for healing.
Timing has no part in true healing, but if you are on a time limit, 3-5 minutes on each area of the body will do, but try not to put a limit on Reiki, because it is intuitive healing, some areas will need more time than others.
Reiki can be used on just about anything and anyone, especially if you have done Advanced Reiki or Reiki Two as it is fondly named.
Reiki does not interfere with any religion or certain beliefs.
You cannot lose your Reiki energy. It is with you for life, even if you choose never to use it again.
You cannot do anything destructive or evil with Reiki because it comes from love and good intent.
Reiki is safe on pregnant woman, young children and the elderly. When a person has had enough of the energy the Reiki will stop. You cannot give too much Reiki.
Reiki can help to relieve stress, by making you feel calm and relaxed.
After your attunements you will find that your body may start clearing and de-toxing any chemical or emotional imbalances for up to 21 days.
Reiki itself will guide and teach you how to work with its energy. It is good to do self-healing on yourself with your Reiki, this will help you to learn all about the energy. Although Reiki cannot cause any harm to you, there are a few points that you should be aware of.
I recommend that you never do, or give yourself or another person a Reiki just before going under anaesthesia in an operation. Reiki tends to neutralise the anaesthesia rather quickly, however giving someone a Reiki after surgery can help with feelings of sickness and pain relief.
Reiki when used with people who suffer illnesses and need controlled medication, like diabetes and cancer should have their medication doses monitored while having extensive Reiki healing. This is because Reiki can help cure these diseases, and it maybe necessary to lower their doses of medication while they are having a healing treatment.
