REIKI
Dr. Mikao Usui
Reiki (pronounced ray-kee)
Is the Japanese word for the Universal Life Force, the energy that permeates and sustains our entire world. There is an infinite source of this energy, creating andsupporting all of us, the animals, the planet, plus a whole lot more that is invisible to us. This one uniting energy has been used in many cultures in a Variety of ways, for example Tai Chi, Acupuncture and Yoga. The Reiki healing system that this book explores has been used traditionally throughout Japan and India since ancient times. It was Dr. Mikao Usui in the mid nineteenth century who rediscovered this almost lost and forgotten healing system.
What is Reiki?
Reiki is a completely natural healing system; it accelerates the bodies, mind and spirits healing process. Through giving a Reiki healing session to your self and to others, a sense of balance, purpose and spirituality is naturally restored. Because Reiki energy is directly connected to the source of our universe and therefore our being, it has its own inherent intelligence. This intelligence allows it to focus upon the most needed areas of healing completely automatically, thereby suiting the needs of the receiver in the very best way.
During the healing session you will be placing your hands on the receiver according to traditional methods, but you will not actually direct the energ to the areas within the body. The Reiki energy directs itself in to the correct areas, both the exterior bodily symptoms and also deeper root causation's that may exist in the mind/spirit connections. For example the symptom may be a headache but the cause may be stress from a current situation in life. In this case the Reiki would not only help the receiver to release pain and tension, but also it would help them recognise ways of resolving the stressful situation.
During the healing, both you and the receiver may feel sensations of heat, cold, tingling, vibrations, pulsing, etc. Sometimes the healer and receiver may experience opposites, for example the healer may experience the feeling of heat while the receiver experiences cold. Other times there will be no experiences at all.
Whether or not any sensations are experienced during a Reiki session, you can berest assured that the energy has flowed correctly and effectively. This is one of the amazing and beautiful gifts of using Reiki, you can always be sure that the session has been very beneficial to the receiver.
Reiki passes easily through absolutely anything, so it is unnecessary to remove any clothing during a Reiki session. This can also be useful when energy is to be passed through plaster casts, and any other obstacles to direct hand contact.
The receiver does not need a problem to be eligible for a Reiki session; it is great for relaxation and overall health and well being. The vast benefits of having regular Reiki sessions are innumerable, and completely encompass the entire mind/body and spirit connection, bringing about a quality of life that is unimaginable!
Both the healer and the receiver benefit simultaneously from the healing session. The more Reiki sessions you give the more the harmony in your life will increase. You can even give Reiki sessions to plants, animals and machinery.
Unlike other spiritual healing methods, Reiki sessions should always involve no effort from the healer to send or direct energy. This ensures that the energy uses its own intelligence to guide itself. After a person has been attuned to Reiki energy, it will naturally begin to flow through the healer when they place their hands on anyone or anything and they have the intent to heal. It flows completely automatically and always with positive and beneficial effects. The more you use your Reiki the stronger the energy connection becomes, and the greater the benefit to the receiver.
If you start concentrating on sending or directing energy, then it will reduce the optimal flow. Greatest success will occur just by getting yourself out of the way and allow the energy to work by itself. So always remain relaxed and detach yourself from the process.
It is important to remember that with Reiki there is nothing you can do wrong. Reiki will take care of everything. Relax and enjoy! Trust in Reiki.
The Reiki principals form a small set of traditional guidelines that are essential to the Reiki system:
Just for today, I will not worry.
Just for today, I will not be angry.
Just for today, I will live honestly.
Honour your teachers, parents and elders.
Show gratitude to all living things.
Just for today, I will give thanks for my many blessings.
