What is Reiki?

Reiki is a secular enlightenment system and healing system. In the west, it is primarily taught as a healing system. It allows you to heal self and others by laying on hands. It was developed by Mikao Usui in Japan in the early 1900's. Reiki is very easy to learn and easy to use, and anyone can do it. Reiki Healing is a process of being connected to the Reiki Energy through an attunement or empowerment. Using reiki is simply a matter of awareness of reiki and the expression of it is BEing Reiki. Healing is done either hands on, or by distance work. Reiki is pronounced "ray-key". The word "Reiki" is made up of two separate kanji. "Rei", which means Universal and "Ki" which is spirit, energy or life force. The most common definition of reiki is therefore "universal life energy". Some say that it is life force energy that animates all life. This universal life energy is indescribable, in all things, everywhere. In doin g and being reiki our awareness of it in the moment is the expression of reiki in healing, being, in whatever we are doing in that moment. The two Kanji taken together can also mean enlightenment. They represent the universal spirit coming together with our own.

How Reiki Works

This section is the simplest to write of the whole manual. No one knows. See I told you it was simple. Anything other than, "no one knows", is purely speculation and belief. There are those that speculate that it activates the hara line. Others believe it opens the chakras. Still others believe that it reconnects you to the divine energy. There are many theories.

In the Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai, the manual he gave his students he says, "I've never been given this method by anybody nor studied to get psychic power to heal. I accidentally realised that I have received healing power when I felt the air in mysterious way during fasting. So I have a hard time explaining exactly even I am the founder. Scholars and men of intelligence have been studying this phenomenon but modern science cant solve it. But I believe that day will come naturally." Even the founder seemed to be at a loss of how to describe it.

I will share with you, that I suggest that you not waste your time worrying how it works and give you the following suggestion. Reiki cannot be grasped with the mind, it can only be known in the doing and being of it. When you "do" reiki, it is not so much in the "doing" as it is a state of BEing. In doing reiki you are in the moment of oneness that Usui shared. In the movie, "The Matrix", Morpheus tells Neo, "...sooner or later you're going to realise, just as I did, there's a difference in knowing the path and walking the path". Everything you have read to this point in this manual is "knowing the path". In doing reiki, we are walking the path. Reiki Level I is the first step in the Reiki Process. The ability to do Reiki is passed onto a practitioner by receiving an attunement or initiation from a Reiki master. This attunement is all you need to use Reiki healing energy in your own life and for those around you. Reiki can be used on Adults, Children, Animals, and Plants. People generally like receiving Reiki and report that it is a relaxing and stress relieving process. A normal treatment takes about 45 minutes to an hour to do. With children and animals it generally goes much faster (they are also much less likely to sit still for an hour).

Treatment description - Hands on Treatment

Although Reiki treatments are also given over great distances this section deals with hands on treatment. A reiki treatment involves giving reiki using the hands. The hand positions are sets that some of the early masters of reiki found worked well in treating the majority of t he meridian and important areas of the body. The sets, whether you use Takata's 12, Hayashi's 7, or another set are a good general all over treatment. The hand positions were designed for people that have not developed Reiji and Byosen. They cover the majority of the meridians and treat most of the major and minor organs. As your intimacy with the Reiki energy develops with practice, Reiji will develop naturally and you will intuit more where your hands should go. Byosen is taught in many level II Reiki c lasses. Remember Reiki is in the DOing and BEing. You will learn far more by Doing reiki than reading a book. My suggestion is learn and use the hand positions and use them. You will notice over time that you will develop a sense of when to move your hands and how long to hold them in any location. The Reiki hand positions are relatively simple to do and generally correspond to the seven basic chakras.

 Each position is held for 3 to 5 minutes, more or less. Trust your intuition. At times you might feel led to place your hands on a certain area, and in this case trust your intuition and do that. Reiki sessions are conducted with the client fully clothed. When working around private areas you may want to hold your hands about 3 to 5 inches above the area instead of directly on the person. After your Reiki I attunement it is nice to practice Reiki as much as you can. Self treatments help to teach you the hand positions and the experience of giving Reiki. The most difficult part of giving treatments at first will be self-consciousness at doing Reiki on others and being a clear channel. Many people feel self-conscious doing Reiki on others at first. Touching another person is an intimate and trusting act. You may wonder what in the world you are doing, if you are doing it correctly, or worry that they might think you some flake, or even hopeful that the Reiki will work. In all these cases simply be free of expectations and keep the ego in check. The Reiki will work, even if you do not believe in it. There is no wrong way to do it. The self-consciousness in touching others and in the process of doing Reiki will decrease in time as you get more practice in doing Reiki on others. Nothing breeds self confidence like practice. The hand positions for self treatment are the same as for treating others. You will learn far more about reiki by doing treatments to yourself (and others) than you will ever learn in any class or book. Self healing is wonderful thing to do. You can give self treatments at any time. You can do them in meetings, on a bus, in traffic, or in the park. If you are not free to do the traditional hand positions, place your hands where you can in an unobtrusive manner and let the reiki flow! Rather that recreate the wheel (until i get my pictures scanned), here are links to Sets of Hand positions that others have graciously posted on the Web.

What can Reiki help with?

Reiki can have an amazing effect on a wide range of psychical and emotional issues. British Law means that I can not claim that Reiki "cures" anything (so as to prevent consumers against medically unproven treatments). However historically Reiki has been considered useful by clients in a wide range of problems, from physical conditions such as ailments and pain, to emotional issues causing upset and distress. Reiki is a holistic therapy. It does not seek to treat just the problem you present, but also the underlying cause. It helps to promote balance and harmony in the body, helping the body and it's natural energies to function in balance and self-heal.
