History of Reiki
Throughout the history of mankind, healing methods have always existed which were based on the transfer of Universal, all- pervading, life energy - the same energy which brings forth all life in the universe and nourishes it, Thousands of years ago, the Tibetans already possessed a deep understanding of the nature of spirit, energy and matter and used this knowledge to heal their bodies, harmonize their souls and lead their spirit to an experience of unity.
This Knowledge was guarded and preserved by the mystery school of most ancient cultures and was available in its entirety only to very few people, usually priests or spiritual leaders who in turn passed it on to their disciples by word of mouth. The knowledge of REIKI would have remained lost forever had not Dr. Mikao Usui rediscovered the key which led to the recovery of a thousand year old tradition of healing in 2500 year old Sanskrit Sutras at the end of 19 Century.
What is REIKI
The word REIKI means Universal Life Energy. It is defined as being that power which acts and lives in all created matter. The word consists of two parts, The syllable REI describes the Universal, boundless aspect of the energy; while KI being the vital life force energy which flows through all living beings. It is one of the highest forms of energy in existence.
Everyone is born with REIKI, for it is the energy of life itself.
What REIKI is NOT
REIKI is not a religion, as it holds no creed or doctrine. It has nothing to do with spiritualism or the occult in any shape or form. It has nothing to do with the calling up of ghosts or demons, nor is it concerned with hypnosis or any other kind of psychological technique. To practise REIKI, no special kind of faith or belief is required.
In REIKI treatments, use is made solely of neutral but concentrated form of cosmic energy.
How is REIKI Learnt
The Key to REIKI is its simplicity. The real difference is in the Attunement (also known as initiation) process, which the student experiences in the various levels of REIKI classes.
During the first degree seminar (approx 12-14 hours, spread over a period of 2 days), a series of four attunements are given by Traditional Reiki Master. In the process, certain energy centres, also known as Chakras, are opened to enable the person to channel (and vibrate) higher amount of Universal Life Force Energy. After this, one can lay his/her hands on other person and help accelerate the healing process by transferring REIKI. The other person draws in just the right amount of this life force energy through the hands of a Reiki Channel the he/she needs to release, activate or transform the energy of the physical, mental and etheric bodies.
REIKI is a natural systems of great simplicity, since nothing other than your hands are required to carry it out. Where other forms of therapy may demand months and years of training for the practitioner, Reiki can be taught in a week-end. After having been through the attunemnet process, most nurses, doctors, massage therapists, and people will get acquainted with the touch and feel of the human body, notice immediate
Increases in the amount of energy or the feeling of heat emanating from their hands when doing treatments. Immediate relief can also be attained for all kinds of complaints. Today we can use it to complement all other kinds of healing methods.
Effects of REIKI Treatment
One of the greatest benefits of REIKI is self-treatment. Once a person is attuned, he or she needs only intention to do REIKI on him/herself or others, and the energy is immediately drawn through on its own accord with no further intense focus from the practitioner needed.
It is an extremely effective technique for total relaxation and stress release. One is filled with a sensation of peace, vitality and joy, often combined with a pleasant feeling of security and of being enclosed in a fine sheath of energy. Treating oneself also helps to release withheld emotions and energy blocks. REIKI works holistically.
REIKI not only can effect changes in the chemical structure of the body by helping to regenerate organs and rebuild tissue and bones, it also helps create balance on the mental level. REIKI is a wonderful tool to help one develop conscious awareness, the very key to enlightenment.
REIKI affects each individual in a very personal way the result being determined by the needs of the person being treated.
Denominators which seem to result in most treatments are that, it
Balances energy- Increases Creativity
- Helps release emotions
- Releases Stress
- Amplifies energy
- Works on Causal level of Disease
- Heals Holistically
- Increases awareness
- Reverses aging process
REIKI can never do damage in any way, since it only flows in the quantities necessary for the recipient.
The Usui System of REIKI is not only the most simple and natural healing method we know of, but it is also the most effective way of transferring this Universal Life Energy. Once a person has been open up to become a “channel” for REIKI, concentrated life energy will flow through his hands on its own accord and he will retain this ability for the rest of his life.
As most things in life, REIKI must be experienced to be appreciated.
May your exploration or REIKI be a joyous one!
