Four Qualities of Reiki

"These four qualities of Reiki are:

1. The ability to do Reiki comes from receiving an attunement, rather than developing the ability over time though the use of meditation or other exercises.
2. All Reiki techniques are part of a lineage. This means that the technique has been passed on from teacher to student through an attunement process starting with the one who first channeled the technique.
3. Reiki does not require that one guide the energy with the mind, as it is guided by the higher power and knows where to go and how to act all on its own.
4. Because of this, Reiki can do no harm.

If a healing technique has these four qualities, then it can be considered to be a Reiki technique.
Part of the above information is an excerpt from The Spirit of Reiki by William Lee Rand, Walter Lübeck and Arjava Petter. "

as well as a gift of a pearl in an oyster shell

as it turns out, her birthday is June 1 and that is her birthstone

I saw an angel, I think it was Raphael. Raphael is the patron of healers and those in need of healing.

I also saw turquoise stones.
Turquoise is one of the oldest protection amulets, and was also known as a symbol of wealth in many ancient cultures.
Strength, protection from harm, psychic sensitivity and connection to the spirit world

Reiki is not a religion, nor new age

"Though Reiki may be considered spiritual in nature, it is not a religion. Neither is it a new age practice or cult. There is nothing you must believe in order to learn and use Reiki. In fact, Reiki works whether you believe in it or not.

Reiki has been used by practioners of Christianity, Buddhism, Shintoism, Hinduism, Islam, and others. It is a spiritual practice which compliments any faith as a "hands on" healing practice.
While Reiki is not tied to any religion, Dr. Usui recommended that a person live in a way that promotes harmony in the body, mind and spirit. The Reiki ideals, listed below, are universally compatible with virtually all cultures and religious beliefs.

If you are Christian, there is an excellent website at http://www.christianreiki.com/."

"While Reiki is spiritual in nature, it is not a religion. It has no dogma, and there is nothing you must believe in order to learn and use Reiki. In fact, Reiki is not dependent on belief at all and will work whether you believe in it or not. Because Reiki comes from God, Goddess, All That Is, many people find that using Reiki puts them more in touch with the experience of their religion or spiritual tradition rather than having only an intellectual concept of it."

Reiki Training

I had a chance to audit Reiki 1 again last weekend and Reiki 2 yesterday through Arise Counseling. The experience was great. Since I've been doing Reiki (since last Thanksgiving) I have discovered that I am clairvoyant (visually receptive). I'm not saying that I have ESP. I am extremely intuitive. And during the light trance induced by Reiki, I receive incredible images. I am now coming to trust it. I felt much closer to this small group, maybe because of how much I love Reiki now. They are going to schedule follow up Reiki circles with this group. I think that is wonderful because it is so important to have support in this Reiki community/path.
Last weekend, the strongest impact was hearing from the teacher that she sensed my father was present. I have felt that already. He is a very strong and loving spirit. He wants to make up for having been absent in my life. She said he will be with me always as one of my guides. She also said that my name is too small.

My father named me, or I would have been "Mireille" (mother's choice). We discussed my name at both Reiki classes. I know he also considered Mary Jane. I would like more than one syllable. Janelle, Janeane, Jana, Jade, Jadrien. We all decided I have an affinity with the Goddess Diana and that name...

Yesterday she showed us the hall of the healers, where we belong. Here I heard the name Ashanti. I looked it up and this is a tribe in Ghana. Shanti also means peace. The teacher said this must be my lineage as a healer.

I am also finding that I am spiritual bridge, with feet in several camps. As we move from the Pisces age to the Aquarius, maybe the different religions can stop disparaging each other. It was funny, when christianity came up at the beginning of class, everyone was expressing the usual feeling of restriction, but by the end, the teacher was talking about how often Mary and Jesus are present as guides for Reiki.

Reiki for Kids

How can Reiki help children?Behavioral problems in children are often linked with emotional traumas and their family situation. We accumulate emotional traumas from the moment we are born (even before) and throughout our lives these hinder us in our personal development and growth. Children who 'misbehave' are often externally expressing their anger at something they do not know how to deal with.

All emotional traumas carry a negative energy that stays within the body and needs to be energetically removed. Reiki can be used actively to heal the negative energy associated with the traumas that are causing the child's behavioral problems. Once this has been achieved the pain from that traumatic experience will be gone and the child will no longer feel the negative emotions associated with it, dramatically altering their behavior. Because parenting is such a vital component of a child's development we are happy to consult with the parents of children with behavioral disorders and offer them Reiki treatments to help improve their relationship with their children. Active Reiki offers amazing results with emotional traumas in adults and children, including traumatic events such as rape and abuse. I am happy to offer Reiki treatments to children (and their parents) with behavioral problems, to help them enjoy a better life and improve their academic performance.

Kundalini Reiki

"Kundalini Sanskrit, literally "coiled". In Indian yoga, a "corporeal energy"- an unconscious, instinctive or libidinal force or Shakti, envisioned either as a goddess or else as a sleeping serpent coiled at the base of the spine, hence a number of English renderings of the term such as 'serpent power'. Kundalini is considered a part of the subtle body along with chakras (energy centres) and nadis (channels). Each chakra is said to contain special characteristics. The overall concept has many points in common with Chinese acupuncture." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kundalini

Usui Reiki

"Reiki is a spiritual practice developed in 1922 by Mikao Usui. After three weeks of fasting and meditating on Mount Kurama, in Japan, Usui claimed to receive the ability of "healing without energy depletion". A portion of the practice, tenohira or palm healing, is used as a form of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). Tenohira is a technique whereby practitioners believe they are moving "healing energy" (a form of ki) through the palms."

Reiki Update

Last night was Reiki trade number four with my Shirley. She has a roommate who is becoming a Rabbi and he practices energy work in his tradition. We decided to include him in the trade. So he showed us how to do some energy scanning, using tones for the chakra areas, very like a e i o u. And then Shirley and Victor worked together on me. I couldn't tell from the table where both of them were, nor could I distinguish between Reiki and his energy work, but it was calming and intense at the same time. It was not as visual as usual, but that's ok. I did see a giant white lotus, like a glowing candle. And we were also discussing angels, as I'd just been reading about kaballah (for Adrian). Did you know that angels have no gender (even tho they have gender specific names at times...?). Anyway I saw a large winged being that was almost fiercely protective of me. Awesome. Then Shirley and I did Reiki on Victor together. We just took a side and mirrored each other exactly. What was weird was it felt like we were one being. It was almost like a ouija board.* If she moved, I moved and vice versa. I saw images of egyptian deserts and sunsets. And I saw a falcon with a hood. I saw myself as an astrologer again and felt that Victor was probably a Hierophant.

*not that I am endorsing ouija boards

Reiki Healing Touch

I am trained (attuned) in Usui Reiki first and second degree. I also am attuned to Kundalini Reiki (all 3 degrees).

Reiki is both a hands on form of palm healing and a Buddhist spiritual practice.

"Reiki is a spiritual practice developed in 1922 by Mikao Usui. After three weeks of fasting and meditating on Mount Kurama, in Japan, Usui claimed to receive the ability of "healing without energy depletion". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reiki


"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."

BTW, Reiki is useful for cats too.

Reiki Update

Last night I had my third Reiki trade with Shirley. I forgot to write about our second share. I learned Reiki 1 with laying hands directly on the body. She learned to just touch the aura. So on our second trade I tried "her" way. I think they are both valid. I am experimenting with touching the aura and mainly find that I can feel energetic responses more intensely.

So last night we talked about my need for grounding. She sent Reiki to me first and whatever she did worked because when I was giving to her, I felt like my legs were shooting into the ground like the roots of a tree, with energy and light totally engaging every muscle. It was intense. Yay. She said she saw me like an alabaster statue with a very firm base.

I was given three visions. The first was Christ picking me up as a 7 y.o. (a traumatic time when I received the only letter I ever got from my absent father, telling me he was in Africa and had other children - he kept). Jesus picked her up and she turned into light and he absorbed her. I felt that she was integrated into me. It was like a Sozo healing.

The second was the Goddess, probably Demeter, gave me three pomegranates and then a fourth. She said "you will have three great loves" and the rest will be like the seeds, as she opened the fourth and spilled them on the ground.

The Goddess also broke off an asp (snake) from my mouth and then my mouth flowered white cherry blossoms. In other words, my tendency to speak harshly will be replace with "right speech."

The third, while on my stomach, was myself as a shreaking infant. "Why wont' anyone come pick me up?" over and over a few times. Then my grandmother came and sat next to me, as she had when I had colic as an infant. And I was calmed.

I also cried for all the children in the world who are lonely and frightened, who can be touched by Reiki/divine love.

Reiki Update

As you've all noticed, I've been delving in the art of Reiki since Thanksgiving when I received my first training. Apparently there are various forms of Reiki. Just as Christ didn't mean to create all the denominations, I doubt that's what Usui Sensei (or the divine light beings) intended. But oh well. It just makes it a little confusing for me. But I'm sure it will all settle out.

That aside, I met with a good friend, Shirley, last night to start a weekly Reiki trade. And well, it was amazing! Since my first attunement, I've practiced the palm healing techniques on friends about a half dozen times. I wish I had more opportunities, but it's hard to get guinea pigs. One of those recipients elicited really intense psychic visuals while I was sending the energy to her in the session. I've always had a connection with her, so I wasn't surprised. But last night with my Reiki buddy, we both had the most beautiful experiences.

We were trained a little differently. I was taught to lay hands directly on, while Shirley was taught to touch the aura at about 6 inches out. We just did what we knew and accepted each other. I worked on her first. I was very nervous, because she intimdates me a little. You wouldn't believe the visions I saw. It was like watching a movie. Animals, sky, ocean, earth, fire, Goddess Diana, etc. etc. etc. When she was working on me, I knew my grandmother and others came into the room and she told me she saw a circle of light beings surrounding me. We both felt very, very happy that the spirits brought us together.
