What is Reiki?
In the simplest explanation, Reiki is holistic healing (relating to or concerning the whole body and mind) where universal life force energy is channeled into another person for the purpose of healing. The energy (which is based on universal love), is captured by a practitioner, and channeled through their body, into the body of someone needing healing. Although Reiki is applied primarily to the body’s seven major energy centers (chakras, pronounced shock-rahs), it goes where it is needed in the body.
Why would I need Reiki?
The popular concept of the principles of healing is the removal of symptoms. This does not solve the root of dis-ease. Healing is full and complete resolution of the causes of dis-ease. Healing is returning to a state of alignment with your Higher Self or true way of being.
How Is It Done?
In its simplest form using Reiki is simply the practitioner placing their hands on the recipient with the intent of bringing healing and willing for Reiki energy to flow. Reiki assists in the highest form of healing possible in a situation. Sometimes the necessary healing may not match our own desired outcomes. This is often where the spiritual aspect of Reiki is most obvious. Your Higher Self must allow the Reiki energy to flow through the body.
What does it feel like?
People feel Reiki in different ways. Most often during a treatment the energy is experienced as warmth. Others feel a mild tingle, as when an arm or leg has "fallen asleep". Still others feel a throbbing or pulsing sensation. Some people don’t feel any physical sensation but describe mental or emotional changes, such as a sense of calmness or peacefulness. Nearly everyone experiences a Reiki treatment as deeply relaxing.
What is a Reiki treatment?
Reiki is essentially the "laying on of hands", an ancient technique common to many spiritual traditions. In a typical Reiki treatment, the client lies down (fully clothed) on a padded treatment table. Energy is transferred to the client through the hands of the practitioner in a sequence of standardized positions where the hands are placed. There is no pressure applied and no manipulation of tissues.
How does a Reiki treatment work?
This question is best answered by drawing an analogy. As mentioned before, our natural energy level is affected by our state of health or dis-ease. We can all relate to the feelings of low energy or depletion that occur when we are trying to heal, whether from physical distress (illness or injury) or from mental difficulties (such as a grief or anxiety). A Reiki treatment can be compared to jump starting a car. When the car’s battery can’t quite provide enough energy to start the car, we attach jumper cables from another battery to add more energy. Reiki is a means of adding more energy to our "life force" battery to help "jump start" the healing process. This process does not exhaust the practitioner, because the practitioner is trained to channel energy from the outside environment, not from their own personal "battery". Practiced in this manner, the energy available is virtually limitless. The amount of energy transferred depends on the client’s ability to use it and willingness to receive it. When no more energy can be used, the transfer ceases to occur.
What is Reiki distant healing?
Distant healing is a Reiki session that is sent from a Reiki practitioner or master in one geographic location to a person who requested the healing in another geographic location.
Describe a Reiki treatment?
In a healing session, the practitioner channels healing energy into the seven major energy points (chakras, pronounced shock-rahs) in the body. These points are located at the top of the head, the face, throat, heart, sternum, naval, and the pubic bone. While channeling the energies, his/her hands become very warm. During the process, the practitioner will lightly place his/her hands on each of these areas so that the healing energies may be sent to each chakra directly. The practitioner will also place his/her hands on the knees and the feet for additional healing.
A complete Reiki session involves channeling the healing energies first into the head and then to each chakra, the knees, and the feet, moving down the front of the body and back up, repeating the procedure on the back of the body. For special "trouble" areas, the practitioner may directly address them by placing his/her hands on these spots for the purpose of channeling additional energy where it is most needed. This is always at the discretion of the person being healed. When complete, the person receiving the healing usually feels rested and refreshed.
The first of the Usui symbols is commonly known as The Power Symbol. Pronounced in Japanese as Cho- Koo- Ray, it is learned in Reiki levels 1 & 2. It means Put all the power of the Universe here and is most often drawn by the practitioner’s dominant hand on each of his/her palms before sending treatment. Additionally, it is often drawn on the recipient’s Crown Chakra before a session thoroughly begins. It can be placed wherever the practitioner feels whether on him/herself or the recipient.
Drawing it, imagining it or chanting it three times can invoke Cho Ku Rei.
This the second symbol used in Usui Reiki. It is taught in Reiki level 2 is most commonly known as The Emotional Symbol. It is pronounced Say- Hay- Kee. It means God and humanity become one. It is most often used when there is an emotional release or build up in the recipient.
Invoke Sei Hei Ki the same way as Cho Ku Rei.
This is Usui Reiki Distant Healing Symbol. It is taught in level 2 and means May the Buddha in me connect to the Buddha in you to promote harmony and peace. Pronounced Hon- Sha- Zee- Show- Nen, it travels unhindered through time and space. It is most often used in distant healings and attunements and is perhaps the jewel of understanding Reiki.
Invoke Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen the same way as Sei Hei Ki.
Usui Master
Symbol Dai Ko Myo
The Usui Master symbol, Dai Ko Myo is taught and given in the Master Level. This is the last symbol Usui used in attunements. Like it’s Tibetan sister, it heals the spiritual state of the recipient and connects the individual with his/her greatest potential. It means Great Being of the Universe Shine on Me.
Invoke Dai Ko Myo the same as Hon Sho Ze Sho Nen.
This beautiful and powerful symbol was not originally taught in Usui Reiki Ryoho. However, the symbol gained so much popularity, it became systematic to include it in attunements. Pronounced Dye- Ko- Myo or Doomo, it Connects the body and the mind in order to grow spiritually. Dumo is used whenever the practitioner feels and often in every session.
Invoke Dumo by either drawing, imagining or chanting its name three times.
