Reiki
Reiki
(pronounced Ray-Key) is the channelling of Universal
Life Force Energy, through a Reiki practitioner to the
client. This is an ancient healing system, that goes
back over 2500 years ago, but was forgotten about, until
the 19th century when it was rediscovered by Dr Mikao
Usui, a Christian head teacher and minister, who went on
a quest to find and learn the method of ancient healing.
After many years of study and research in America, he
moved back to Kyoto Japan. Again after a lot of study
and research he finally found the symbols that he had
been looking for, but because he didn’t know how to use
them, then he could not heal either. So from there he
decided to climb a sacred mountain called Kurayama,
where he fasted and meditated for 21 days. On his final
day he achieved what he had gone for. A bright white
beam hit him between the eyes, a force so powerful that
it knocked him unconscious. When he came round he saw
the symbols that he had found in the Sanskrit
Scriptures, written, in gold, on a screen in the sky.
This is just a brief description of how Reiki came
about. It has evolved through the years, with slight
changes made here and there, but the symbols have stayed
relatively the same. Also many other forms of Reiki are
now available, most of which came to reiki masters
during meditations.
About Reiki
Reiki Energy helps a person’s being to heal itself. It
can work on a mental, emotional and physical level. The
energy goes to where it is needed, however it will only
be received where permission for the healing is freely
given. If a person subconsciously doesn’t want to
receive the energy, then they won’t.
Healing can be given distantly or hands on. Both are
just as effective as the other. During a ‘hands on’
session, the client remains fully clothed. While lying
down the reiki practitioner works down from the head to
feet, then client turns over, and the procedure is
repeated again on the back. A treatment lasts for about
1 to 1 ½ hours. The energy continues to work for 24
hours.
What is an
attunement
An attunement is something that is passed on from master
to student. It is done with the student sitting in a
chair, and the master blows symbols and colours into
certain chakras on the students body. The attunement
opens and aligns the chakras. It is nothing new, it was
already part of us, but for many it has been closed off.
Once opened, it allows the student to pass reiki on and
to heal. It does not use your own energy, it uses the
universal energy.
During an attunement the student may feel or see
different things. It all depends on each individual.
Some people feel nothing at all, while others see
pictures and colours. Others may feel at total peace
with themselves, and an overwhelming feeling of love.
There is no right or wrong on how you will feel. An
attunement always works if you are willing to receive
it.
After an attunement, you may feel on a high, tingly or
even spacey. Also don’t be surprised if old
emotions/problems from the past resurface again. This is
the ideal opportunity to heal them. You may also feel or
get a slight cold or other mild side effects. This is
rare but can happen. Make sure you drink plenty water
after. An attunement really is an amazing feeling. It
opens up a whole lot of new opportunities for you to
explore.
