Learning About Reiki

What is Reiki? Reiki is a Japanese type of spiritual practice also used for
stress reduction and relaxation. It is a technique that also helps promote
healing either for self or for other people. It is characterized as a practice
of "laying of hands".

The healing powers of the technique are based on the idea that there is an
unseen "life force energy" that flows through each person. This life force is
said to be the reason why people are alive. When one's life force energy is
low, then people are likely to get sick or feel weak. If the life force is
high, people fell healthy and happy.

Reiki is also a form of meditation used as a type of therapy for treating
physical, emotional, and mental diseases. The name Reiki is taken from two
Japanese characters that describe energy itself. The word "rei", which means
"unseen" or "spiritual" and "ki" which means "energy" or "life force" is
combined to become Reiki. In English, its meaning is usually given as
"universal life energy".

It was Mikao Usui who was known to have developed Reiki in 20th century Japan.
Story has it that Usui received the ability of healing after going through
three weeks of fasting and meditating on top of Mount Kurama. Practitioners of
Reiki use a technique similar to that of the laying on of hands.

This action is said to promote the channeling of "healing energy" to another
person. The energy flows through the palms and brings along with it healing
powers that can be used for self-treatment as well as for treating others.

Reiki is a simple, natural as well as safe method of dispensing spiritual
healing and self-improvement. It is said to be effective in providing
alternative treatment for virtually every known illness and malady. Not only
that, Reiki also helps create an added beneficial effect, that of spiritual
healing. This method is also said to work well when combined with other medical
or therapeutic techniques to help relieve side effects and promote recovery.

Reiki, although seen as a very powerful healing technique, is an amazingly
simple to learn. Reiki and the ability to use it effectively cannot be taught
in the usual sense. The skill is said to be "transferred" to the student during
a Reiki class.

This ability is not merely learned but is passed on by a Reiki master to the
student during a gathering known as "attunement". After the skill has been
passed on, it allows the student to tap into an unlimited supply of "life force
energy" that can then be used to improve one's health and enhance the one's
quality of life.

Although the practice of Reiki may be spiritual in nature, it is not considered
as a religion. There are no set of beliefs that one should learn about before
learning to practice the technique known as Reiki. The practice does not depend
on any form of dogma.

It will work whether the student believes it or not. But it is said that the
practice of Reiki helps people to keep in touch of their spiritual selves
rather than the intellectual concept that it provides.

The practice of Reiki also aims to develop and promote living in harmony with
others. Aside from practicing Reiki and its principles, the founder of the
Reiki system, Mikao Usui also recommends the practice of simple ethical ideals
that can lead to peace and harmony among people.

Getting to know what Reiki is may help people not only become a healing channel
but also a tool to promote peace among other people.

Understanding Reiki

With all the stresses brought by the modern world, it is only common to people
to look for alternatives in relieving their stress. Aside from resulting to
medications and other treatments that give the promise of comfort and
relaxations, people are now resulting to ancient means of relieving stress such
as Reiki.

The Japanese word "Reiki" refers to a unique technique that is used for
reducing stress. Ultimately used to relieve aches brought by too much stress,
Reiki is also used to aid relaxation and healing not only of the person's
physical body but his or her soul and spirit as well.

Administered by "laying on hands," this technique for healing is believed to be
effective through the use of an invisible force of life energy that flows in
every living and breathing individual.

In the concept of Reiki, it is believed that when the level of a person's life
force energy is incredibly low, he or she will likely to be stressed out more
often and have a higher tendency to get sick or ill compared to those people
with high level of life energy force.

In Reiki, it is also proven that those people who are living healthy,
stress-free and happy lives possess high level of life force energy which
enable them to have positive outlook in life. These people also have greater
capability to face the challenges of everyday living.

Developed by Mikao Usui, a Japanese Tendai Buddhist in the year 1922, Reiki has
been a very popular form of relieving stress to people all over the world. Since
its discovery, the technique Reiki has evolved in various forms and has been
practiced by numerous Reiki masters across the globe.

Reiki as a means of healing

More and more people are into Reiki in the previous years because the technique
has shown great and incredible results. For most people who have tried it, the
treatment is a wonderful solution to relieving stress. This is because they
don't have to spend so much money in buying medication that can have grave side
effects and they don't also have to undergo through painful body exercises and
unhealthy regimens.

Reiki is considered as a wonderful means of relaxation because it uses the
innate warmth and energy in a person. This energy is then converted to a
"purer" form of energy -- free from the busy schedule and toxicities of modern
living. People who have tried Reiki say that the technique does not only treat
the person's physical body but also alleviates the burden in emotions, lessens
the clutter of the mind, and nourishes a deteriorated spirit.

When a person is free from all these physical and emotional burdens, he or she
will benefit from a relaxed in almost all kinds of environment because the
feelings of calmness and serenity are infused within his or her system.

Unlike other techniques for relaxation, Reiki is one of the most simple and all
natural means of healing a person's spirit. In fact, it is so safe that almost
all people can make use of it. When used properly and trained religiously,
Reiki can be an answer to all the health and emotional problems of people.

But, in order to make use of the Reiki properly, one must attend a class where
the ability is transferred. Using "attunement" conducted by a Reiki master, one
can easily learn to convert his or her innate energy into a healthy and
beneficial use.

Here, the student is guided by the master in tapping the limitless source of
energy and use it to improve his or her quality of life.

Reiki Training

Reiki training is different when you are beginner compared to someone who has
already been introduced to it. In this article, we will talk about the first
four levels to give people an idea of what actually happens.

During level one, the instructor will introduce you to the energy. Here, you
get to develop a relationship with it by learning how to work with it, how it
feels through your body and the effects on using this on yourself and others.

Over the course of two days, you will learn the 4 attunements. There will be
enough time given to allow your system to settle into the new space and after a
21 day cleansing session, you will no longer feel any negative energy in your
system.

Level two Reiki training should be done at least two months after you have
completed level one. During this time, your vibration level should be much
higher.

This is also a two day training course where you will receive another
attunement that will increases your vibration and make you familiar with three
of the four Reiki symbols. You will learn here how to make each of these
symbols work and after a couple of days, you will again have to undergo a 21
day cleaning period to remove any negative energy that you may have.

Most people do not go beyond level two because they are already happy with what 
they have learned. But for those who want to push on and even become a master, 
they can continue on their way to level three. It is recommended that you wait
at least 6 to 12 months before you take level

3. When you are ready, you will again undergo a two day session so you may
received your final attunement. There is another 21 day cleaning period and you
may even be taught another Reiki system like the Seichim to help you through.

From here, we go the fourth and final level where you will be taught how to
become both a master and a teacher so you may also teach those who want to
learn about the Reiki. What makes this different from the first three levels is
that you will be taught now from an instructor's perspective.

This will enable you to come up with your own lesson plans and manuals that you
will distribute to your students. You will also learn about boundaries and
ethics being a Master Teacher. You might even be given a test by creating a
level one training which you will use to treat new comers.

Reiki training is now available in some institutions. You can even enroll in
home study programs, online learning and distance instruction. You just have to
find the right instructor that can teach you everything there is to know about
this healing technique so you get your money's worth.

If you attend to join a class, you shouldn't worry about if this is crowded
because batches are limited to 4 or 8 students. This will allow each one to
have individualized attention from the instructor aside from the manuals that
will be given at the start of the class.

Everyone is more than welcome to experience and embrace what Reiki training can
do. You just have to keep an open mind and let the positive energy flow within
you and cleansing yourself of the negative energies that fill your body, mind
and soul.

The role Reiki symbols play

One of the significant things that a person -- who is planning to get into the
practice of Reiki -- must know is the Reiki symbols. This is because these
symbols play a very important role in carrying out this unique form of
spiritual and physical healing.

Known as cryptic symbols that were used in early practices of the traditional
Reiki, these symbols were in the shade of controversy for a long period of
time. They were also a source of confusion especially for starters in classes
because they were not taught to students of until they have moved on to the
second level of the spiritual healing. In fact, it took researchers a very long
time to really decode the original Reiki symbols because different Reiki masters
made many variations.

As times went by, more and more Reiki masters wanted to have their own
variation of Reiki as a form of spiritual healing, thus, leading to many
variations of the symbols that were used in the practice of Reiki. To be able
to clear the controversy that hounds Reiki symbols, many Reiki masters came out
with a book containing the "supposedly" original Reiki symbols that are used in
the practice.

This, somehow, cleared the air of confusion among Reiki students but degraded
some Reiki masters -- who have higher level of practice -- because now, even
the neophytes can learn the secrets to the Reiki practice that took a long time
before they can truly master.

Aiding effective practice of Reiki

Today, there are still many variations of Reiki symbols depending on the school
where it is being practiced. But, four symbols remain standard to all Reiki
classes. The following include:

1. The Power Symbol or the "ChoKuRei." Translated as "put all the power of the
universe here," ChoKuRei is used by many Reiki masters because it increases the
focus or the power of Reiki. ChoKuRei is usually used before beginning with the
practice Reiki because it increases Reiki power and also used in the end of the
session for the Reiki healing powers to be sealed. It is also used in cleansing
and protecting the person or other things on possible supernatural assault.

2. The Mental-Emotional Symbol or the "SeiHeKi." In English, "SeiHeKi" means
"God and humanity becomes one." Reiki practitioners use this symbol in
balancing the left and right side of brain to be able to achieve peace as well
as harmony. Primarily, SeiHeKi is used to aid the healing of imbalanced
mental-emotional levels of a person. People who are problematic in the fields
of relationships, mental issues, emotional imbalances, lack of memory, and
those addictive problems are advised to use this Reiki symbol.

3. The Distance Symbol or the "HonShaZeShoNen." This Reiki symbol is used to
clear a person's emotional and mental state and aids in enabling the channels
slowly. In Kanji, the phrase "Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen" can mean five different
meanings that include: origin or source, person, just or right, certainty or
correctness, and an idea or thought. Primarily used to send Reiki channels in a
distant space or time or space, this symbol is used by more and more Reiki
masters to be able to send the power of Reiki in the past or in the near and
retrieve it when needed.

4. The Attunement Symbol or the "DaiKoMyo." This symbol is primarily used in
aiding the student to achieve different levels or degree of Reiki power. Also
known as a symbol for wisdom and gift of insight, DaiKoMyo is considered as an
effective symbol for cleansing and healing a person's soul and spirit.

Reiki Symbols Revealed

There are many Reiki symbols that have already been revealed and each of them
is thought to possess a unique vibration of energy.

At one point, they didn't have any names and were simply numbered from one to
five. But later on, each one of them stood for something and here they are.

The first is called Cho Ku Rei and is referred to as the Power Symbol. In
simple terms, this means, "put all the power of the universe here." This allows
the user to draw energy from the surroundings so you can focus it where you want
it to.

This can be used for aid in manifestation, cleanse negative energies, empower
other Reiki symbols, for spiritual protection, spot treatments, and seal the
energies after the treatment.

Next is called Sei He Ki also known as the Mental Emotional symbol because it
helps those who are suffering from an emotional or mental imbalance.

Sei He Ki means "God and Humanity Becomes One." This enables the person to find
activate Kundalini during meditations, balance between the left and right side
of the brain, bring harmony and peace, cleansing, improve one's memory, clear
blockages and aligns the upper chakras, provide psychic protection, remove
addictions, bad energies and negative vibrations.

Third is called Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen. This is a distance symbol that is used to
enable the Reiki channel to be able to channel Reiki at a distance regardless
if this event happened in the past, the present or the future.

This is an aggregate from the 5 Japanese kanji namely; source, origin, person,
right or just, correct certainly and thought or idea. It is also know as a
Buddhist chant which means right consciousness is the root of everything.

The fourth symbol is the Tamarasha. It is a basically a balancing and
unblocking symbol that may ground and balance energy.

The fifth and last symbol is known as DaiKoMyo that is used to initiate a
student to various initiatory Reiki degrees. This is considered to be the most
powerful symbol and can only be used by Reiki masters.

This symbol is used t heal the soul since it deals with the person's spiritual
self that can cure a disease or illness from the original source in the aura or
energy fields. It can also provide enlightenment and peace as it allows the
person to become more intuitive and psychic.

Each of these symbols are activated by drawing them in the palm of your hand,
visualizing it or spelling the symbols' name three times. Then this is placed
or drawn on the client's chakra, hands or wherever this should be treated.

Symbols have power and if you can't remember how to right it correctly, try
recalling the alias because this can also be used to harness that energy. With
practice, you will no longer need to remember how they look because you will be
able to harness it when needed.

Now that the Reiki symbols have been revealed, you will now be able to use
them. Just remember that it is the intention that really matters because as
mentioned earlier, each of them are used for various things.

And using the right one is the only way you will be able to solve a problem
whether it is physical, mental or psychological.

Reiki Music

Reiki which is pronounced as Ray Key is a holistic healing system that uses
universal energy to heal an individual. In order for this to work, you have to
be trained by a Reiki master. Since its rediscovery in the early 1900's,
various forms have evolved and some of them use Reiki music.

Reiki music is used to create calm and peaceful atmosphere in order for the
healing to take place. This is available for download while some retailers sell
these in CD online. One example of this is Shamballa that is often used by
seasoned spiritual travelers.

For those who have never done a Reiki session with music before, it is
recommended to use one with gentle tunes first before trying out something more
diverse. If the site you are visiting allows you to hear a sound clip, try it
out so you have an idea where the music can take you.

Do you really need to use Reiki music during a healing session? The answer is
no because meditation music or any other kind may also work as long as it is
designed for relaxation purposes.

As much as possible, the recording should last for about 60 to 75 minutes which
is the average time it takes to feel energized after a session.

Just like a regular session without music, you can tell if it is working when
you feel different sensations throughout your body. An individual who feels
down will afterwards experience an emotional release or relief.

Once you have found the right Reiki music, you can put it on and then simply
sit or lie down in a comfortable position. You then place your hands over your
face with the palms over the eyes, touch the tongue to the roof of the mouth
with the tip of your tongue just behind the teeth. Remember to inhale and let
the energy flow into your body and then let it go out along your arms and out
through your face.

The same slow movement should be done with the other parts of the body so you
wake up feeling refreshed and recharged.

Reiki wouldn't be around for more than a hundred years if it is not able to
help those recover from emotional disturbances and addictions

In fact, various studies have been conducted and results have shown that
patients are able to recover faster after surgery. This is the reason that
there are more hospitals and clinics that have started to practice Reiki even
before an operation to help them relax.

Those who worship Christianity have also embraced Reiki because its methods
help them express compassion towards others and bring them closer to God. This
is because Jesus healed with his hands and so is the hand healing technique
used in Reiki that has made this very appealing.

Anyone can practice Reiki and you can do this with or without Reiki music
because the tune that you hear only helps you relax when the most important
thing to learn is the proper hand technique. This can only be taught by a
master Reiki and when this is passed on to you, this can also be shared with
others.

You just need to keep an open mind and have faith so you may also experience
the positive energy that is needed to heal whatever part of the body, mind or
soul that requires healing.

The Beauty in Reiki Healing

In a stressed out world like what we have today, more and more people are
opting for other treatments other than using medications to help them achieve a
more stable levels of thinking and emotions. This is because they have noticed
that the more they depend on medication and treatments related to it, the more
they feel weak, stressed out, and sick.

So, instead to suffering from the side effects of various medications, many
people opt for a more traditional treatment such as Reiki healing.

Founded on the significant benefits of the human touch, Reiki healing is
preferred by more and more people -- especially those who are suffering from
terminal cases and illnesses -- because it provides a more "human" approach to
healing. Since it is more soothing and comforting that the number of apparatus
that are used in various hospitals and medical centers, Reiki healing has
become an option to people who are tired of relying on medical treatments.

What sets this alternative therapy from the modern form of healing today is the
more "human" feel into it. Many people prefer this because it lessens the
depression their feel brought the illness or emotional pains knowing that a
person/people understand what are they going through.

How Reiki healing works

Reiki healing works through the use of the never-ending cycle of love energy in
people. Reiki healing utilizes the innate life force energy flowing in each
individual and converts it into a more productive energy force.

Transferred from one person to another, this life energy force can heal a
person's emotional imbalance, heals the dying spirit, and calms the mind. If it
cannot be channeled from one person to another during a Reiki class, an
individual can also use it alone especially if there's a great need to boost a
person's morale or spirit.

Reiki healing can be a perfect key in solving people's personal predicaments if
only they give it a try. Unlike modern medications that can cost so much money
along with numerous side effects, Reiki healing would not rob you off so much
money especially if you have mastered it for yourself.

The only expenses you'll be needing to achieve the benefits of Reiki healing is
the fee for enrolment in a Reiki class and references such as magazines and
books for practicing Reiki.

For Reiki healing to work properly and effectively, a person must first be able
to achieve a higher will. When a person has a high will, it can enable somebody
to set aside his or her self-centered intentions. Once this is done, a person
can experience a blissful encounter with his or herself and can share this
wonderful feeling of healing and contentment to other people.

Reiki healing can also be more effective when a person can channel or transfer
his or her energy to those people in need. Once a person can do this, his or
her will be accredited to a higher level, which can enable him or her to
achieve peacefulness, calmness, and optimism in life.

In Reiki healing, the life force energy is channeled or transferred from one
person to another through attunement. Usually takes place in Reiki classes and
supervised by a Reiki master, this transfer of life force energy is remotely
done to ensure its success.

Aside from healing a person's spirit, Reiki also helps a person to balance his
or her prioties in life to achieve a more relaxed and content life.

Reiki Energy

Reiki is a healing practice that has been practiced for more than a hundred
years. By definition, the Reiki energy that is often referred as an essence,
symbolizes power, a transcendental spirit and universal.

What makes this different from other forms of alternative healing is that those
who possess this power use their hands in curing someone of an illness.

Even the masters themselves cannot explain fully how this works but can only
describe it as linking with a cosmic radiant energy that is applied by the
practitioner to themselves, to plants, animals and other human beings even over
a great distance.

The Reiki energy is drawn through the channel and not sent. In fact, we all
have this with us and all we have to do is undergo an attunement process in
order for us to heal ourselves or others.

Once you have attained level one, you will be able to detect energy problems
that can already tell you if there is an organic problem in your body or with
someone else. As your level of experience goes up, your power becomes stronger
and those who want to teach what they have learned to others will have to
become masters.

One thing you have to remember about Reiki energy is that it cannot be
controlled by the mind. If this were the case, it could only be done by those
who practice it. But those who practice this believe that their power comes
from the Ki. This is something that flows in each of us and by letting it touch
the affected part of the body it will heal because it has been energized.

The strength of the Reiki energy is also dependent on one's thoughts. Negative
thoughts will not do much to improve the situation so you must think positive
in order for this to work.

Although medical science still wants to conduct more research to learn about
the Reiki energy, there are those who are practicing it because studies have
shown that this can calm the patient before the operation and make the heal
faster afterwards.

How it works or even why some say is because of the power of the mind because
how you think does have an affect on the physical well being of a person.

The Reiki energy works from the outside in so that there is balance and order
to the body. It should be confused with spiritual healing because it does not
have anything to do with your faith that makes it effective.

This is why it is important to understand what this energy is because those who
practice this believe that the aura is an extension of the mind that goes way
beyond the body.

But those who practice Reiki should remember that Reiki energy that flows is
not intended to replace medical treatment. It can only do so much to help a
patient and if doctors feel that an operation is needed to permanently fix the
problem, you should take their advice because the profession has been around
much longer and the advances in science have improved the lives of thousands.

If you have a headache, fighting stress or an addiction, Reiki energy can help
you deal with the problem. You just have to think positive and believe.

Reiki Therapy

Reiki therapy involves a lot of elements in just about every alternative
healing practice. This is because it uses spiritual healing, meditation,
aromatherapy, naturopathy and homeopathy among others to make the person or
another feel better.

But what makes this Japanese healing art so unique and popular is that it
involves the transfer of energy in order to restore balance in the force.

Reiki therapy has several basic effects. These include deep relaxation,
detoxification of the system, the increases the vibration or frequency of the
body, provide new vitality in the form of healing energy and removal of
negative energy.

In Reiki therapy, the practitioner places his or her hands over the patient.
The recipient should be lying down so he or she is completely at ease and ready
to welcome the positive energy.

Reiki therapy begins from the head and then works all the way down to the feet.
Ideally, this should be placed 2 to 4 inches away from the body of the patient.
The hands must be cupped with the fingers closely bonded together and the
thumbs pulled upward against the hand so the positive energy that you possess
is directed to the one who needs it.

For this to work, both the healer and the person being healed need to take an
active part in the healing process. One sends forth the energy while the other
should openly receive it.

The strength of Reiki therapy depends on the level of the healer. There are
three types and this improves through attunements.

Reiki healers in the fist level are only taught the basic hand positions and
the scared symbol so they can perform direct healing over others. In level two,
they can now teach the symbols and hand position so they can practice distance
healing. In level three, the person should be able to know everything and thus
earn the title of master and can already teach this to others.

Are there risks in Reiki therapy? The answer is no. The only thing the patient
can do is block the positive energy that is being given but this does not cause
him or her harm in any way.

Another thing people should remember is that Reiki therapy works in conjunction
with western medicine and other practices. It is simply designed to help the
person heal especially for those who need to undergo surgery.

Reiki therapy is not successful after only on session. This has to be done
several times until the patient is completely healed and this can only happen
the body becomes in tune with itself. A practitioner can even do this to him or
herself to reduce the anxiety and stress that happens everyday as people live a
happier life if there is both harmony and peace.

If you want to become a Reiki practitioner, you first have to sign up in a
class that is conducted by a certified Reiki master. Level one students will
have to undergo training for a couple of days and then a 21 day cleansing
period before proceeding on to the next one so read the manual and keep an open
mind.

There are also Reiki therapy classes offered through distance learning programs
and online so its really up to you to embrace the power of this alternative form
of healing or not.

Reiki and Anemia

Reiki is another form of alternative medicine. Although it can cure certain
illnesses, one that has never been thoroughly studied in humans is anemia.

Anemia is a common blood disorder and this happens when the person's red blood
cells are below normal. This often leads to other health problems like fatigue
and stress that affects the body's other organs.

Until such time that there is scientific proof that it can help patients who
are suffering from anemia, Reiki should not be recommended or even attempted.
The person should seek the help of a medical professional and then work with
what is available.

But if Reiki cannot be used to treat those suffering from anemia, where can it
be used? This technique has been known to energize the body and relieve it from
stress, prevent physical disorders, maintain a balanced state of health as well
as minimize a sense of helplessness when faced with a daunting situation. It
can be used anywhere and at anytime that may also be used on plants and animals.

The medical community for its part has only done a few tests to check on
Reiki's effectiveness. For instance, a random test shows that it has an adverse
effect on the nervous system as it can lower one's blood pressure, heart rate
and breathing.

Another suggests it can help the person fight the symptoms of depression. There
was also a report stating that Reiki can aid in patients who are in stroke
recovery since positive effects on both energy and mood have been noted.

The nice thing about Reiki is that it is completely safe. The patient does not
have to be injected or required to swallow anything. He or she will just have
to sit still and just relax while the practitioner puts the hand over the body.

It should also be pointed out that it does not attack the disease but rather
supports the person experiencing the disease to encourage him or her to fight
it in order to once again have a state of balance.

For those that want to try it, they can do so as long as they use their common
sense. If the doctor tells them that they have to take certain medication, it
is best that they do follow it and they use alternative forms of medicine like
Reiki to help them out.

This is after it has been pointed out that doctors have taken interest with
Reiki and other forms of complementary and alternative medicine or CAM which is
already taught in most US medical schools.

Despite the lack of tests, some doctors also insist patients to try it out
since these are low risk practices that do not have adverse side effects.

The difference between conventional medicine and Reiki is the approach. The
traditional way focuses on detection on treatment while the other sees it from
a holistic, whole person approach that extends way beyond the person's
pathophysiology.

Is one better than the other? That is really hard to tell. So until such time
that Reiki can cure anemia and any other disorder, patients and their loved
ones are advised to approach this situation the conventional way given that
this the most logical choice.

Just remember that there is nothing wrong thinking outside the box because you
might just get lucky and find a cure.

The Anugraha Reiki

Anugraha Reiki is one of the many forms of the popular Reiki system of healing. 
Reiki has its origins traced back to Japan where the practice was developed by a 
Tendai Budhhist named Mikao Usui in 1922. He was said to have discovered the 
technique after a 21-day retreat on Mount Kurama.

After undergoing meditation, fasting and prayer during the retreat, Usiu
claimed to have received some mystical revelation and was handed down the
knowledge as well as the spiritual power for healing.

Reiki has been known to be fairly easy and simple to use. Everyone is said to
be able to employ the system to achieve spiritual healing of self as well as
others. Teaching the system usually involves three parts which are better known
as degrees. The first degree usually teaches the basic theories and procedures
with using Reiki energy.

This energy is said to pass through a channel in the body which can be opened
by way of four "attunements" given by the Reiki master to a student. The first
degree of training also involves the learning of certain hand placements that
allow the Reiki energy to heal people.

The second degree of the Reiki training involves the use of the Reiki symbols
and how they can be used to enhance healing. Students are also taught how to
provide distant healing. This will allow people to be able to heal others
without being physically present. The third degree of the Reiki training
involves making the student become a Reiki master. As a Reiki master, a person
may now be able to attune others to Reiki and teach the system to others.

Different forms of Reiki now exist and each one of them provides different ways
of providing spiritual healing. One of them is the Anugraha Reiki which is a
mystical healing art that originated in India. The word "Anugraha" means Grace,
which is considered as one of the five functions of the Divine that ultimately
leads to Liberation or "Mukti". Anugraha can also refer to the Power of
Revelation. On another level, the word can also relate to Mercy.

Just like the Japanese form of Reiki, the first level of Anugraha Reiki focuses
on self healing, self awareness, replenishment and perfecting relationship. A
Diksha or attunement is given to help activate seldom used parts of the brain.
A simple yet advanced spiritual practice is taught to help transform a person's
consciousness and result to deep states of awareness within 30 days.

The second level of the Anugraha Reiki focuses on healing others. During this
period, sacred sounds are being taught that is said to help invoke positive
consciousness. An advanced form of meditation is also taught. A type of special
mantra used to invoke the presence is taught along with the techniques for doing
healing work both through personal and long distance means.

The third degree initiation of Anugraha Reiki involves the teaching of the
esoteric use of important Reiki symbols that can be used for different means
such as for astral projection, meditation, altering time or space, bridging the
worlds of life and death, and easing the transition process. There are two
additional master symbols are also revealed. For a student to succeed and
qualify for the third degree of teaching, he or she should already be

What you need to know about Kundalini Reiki

When it comes to spiritual healing, Kundalini Reiki is considered by many
people as one of most basic yet effective means of today. This is because the
practice involves simple and easily understood structures that anybody can
practice.

Many people -- who are into spiritual healing -- are into Kundalini Reiki
because it is far more easier that the practice of the traditional Reiki. Since
Kundalini Reiki is derived from the traditional Reiki, majority of its
techniques, means of treatments, and principles are pretty much the same. Only
that Kundalini Reiki uses simpler methods to achieve spiritual healing in a
faster and more convenient manner.

How Kundalini Reiki works

When we say Kundalini, it usually refers to the opening of various "healing
channels" and "charkas" that gives people easy access in gaining the energy of
the Earth. Here, the "root chakra" serves as the center of energy that paves
the way for the Kundalini energy to enter.

Also referred to as the "Kundalini fire," Kundalini energy is said to flow all
throughout the person's body and taps the body's "main energy channel." Once it
the energy has reached "main energy channel," the Kundalini Reiki will now exit
the "crown chakra," and comes back in a form of cycle.

In Kundalini Reiki, the energy that has been released from a person through a
channel enters the "root chakra," passes through "crown chakra" -- which is
usually located on top of a person's head -- and stay there for a period of
time. During its stay in the "crown chakra," the Kundalini Reiki cleanses the
"charkas" in the different parts of the body and channels it all throughout the
system.

Here's the step-by-step procedure how Kundalini Reiki works:

1. The first step in making Kundalini Reiki work is by opening the channels
where Reiki energy will flow. This step is called the "first attunement." This
process also prepares the person for the second awakening of the Kundalini
Reiki. Here, the person's chakras in the hand, crown, and hand are opened and
strengthened at the same time to complete the first phase. This first step is
said to be the equivalent of Usui's Reiki 1to 3 attunements which most people
who practice traditional Reiki use.

2. The second step in making Kundalini Reiki work is the strengthening of
channels. After the initial awakening of the Kundalini Reiki, the channels
where the life force energy should be strengthened so it can accommodate the
channeled energy. When the channels are strengthened, it ensures that receiving
of energy in a gentle and sure manner. This process also paves that way for
igniting the Kundalini energy and enables it to reach its minimum chakra.

3. The third step in making Kundalini Reiki work is strengthening the channels
where the Kundalini fire will reach it maximum limit. Once this is done, the
Kundalini Reiki will then perform its task of cleansing the person's
spirituality while strengthening and nurturing it.

For the Kundalini Reiki to work more effectively, the person who's practicing
it may also include extra attunements including "balance," and the use of
"diamond Reiki," "crystalline Reiki," "DNA Reiki," "birth trauma Reiki,"
"location Reiki," and the "past life Reiki."

Although Kundalini Reiki is a simple means of spiritual healing, people should
be careful in using or practicing it because they can be grounded to the energy
of the Earth if they don't have enough knowledge and guidance when doing it.

The Melchizedek Method Reiki

The Melchizedek method reiki is one of the many types of reiki methods that
have found to be widely practiced by people. This reiki method is considered by
many practitioners to be one of the most advanced healing techniques available.
It teaches a new form of emotional, spiritual, physical and mental healing.

The history of the Melchizedek method started in 1997 as taught by Master
Thoth. It was said that the knowledge of this method was handed down to man by
the Catacean (whales and dolphins) within the temples of discovery during
Atlantean times. The basis used in the techniques presented by the method is
activating the Hologram of Love Merkaba rotating light field in trying to
awaken one's spherical consciousness.

Doing so raises one's quotient of light vibration right down within the human
atomic cell structure. Once this light field is activated, the healing
capabilities of the Melchizedek method practitioner are enhanced further. Not
only that, the heart also awakens and opens more to unconditional love on your
normal life.

The Melchizedek method also teaches and encourages a person to take full
responsibility for his or her own health, well-being and harmony with the
environment as well as other people. Aside from that, the method of healing is
also designed to be applied by a person upon another individual. The
Melchizedek Method is known for teaching and demonstrating the skill of 
transporting any part of the body, outer bodies and thought programming into 
the higher dimensions in order for it to be cleansed and healed.

Once that is done, the body is then returned into its completely perfect
physical condition. Holographic healing and rejuvenation is a skill all human
beings can practice in the future with the right knowledge. Believers of the
method are confident that it will be instrumental in getting rid of illness and
disease on the planet in the near future.

One of the interesting aspects of the Melchizedek method is in the activation
of the hologram of love, or Merkaba. The Merkaba is said to be the sacred
geometric pattern that gave birth to the whole universe. This pattern is said
to be based on unconditional love from which everything in the universe
resonates. Humans are said to have this hologram of love pattern from within.
Awakening it serves the basis in the Melchizedek method.

Meditating in a way that opens the Holographic Merkaba with light will bring
forth the call upon a special frequency of 13:20:33 into that field of
continuous time. The 13:20:33 frequency is also known as the frequency of no
limitation. This frequency is also known to be present in different parts of
the body harmonizing it to the whole universe. Having such a frequency allows
humans to be in harmony with the creator of the universe.

The tool utilized by the Hologram of Merkaba is a high dimensional active
conscious living Divine expression that can gain entry to all levels of
consciousness. This tool has the ability to heal and rejuvenate any form of
created being as it is the living conscious holographic pattern of the God
Source vibration.

The Melchizedek Method reiki helps establish a constant flow of love energy
from a person's heart to that of the source of God as well as to the heart
centre of the Earth. Linking this different aspects way allows a person to draw
on the spiritual energies of God source and Earth together to reveal a high
frequency love healing energy that can effectively uplift the human body into a
state of receptivity for healing and rejuvenation.

The ability of accessing original thought form and emotion can be made possible
while in this state, completing a powerful experience that can be quite
spiritually, emotionally and physically fulfilling.

Discovering dragon Reiki

When it comes to spiritual healing, dragon Reiki is considered as one of the
most popular forms there is. This is because many people who have tried it
believe that this kind of Reiki is very effective and powerful in terms of
calming the person's emotional upheavals that cause great stress.

Unlike the traditional Reiki -- which is practiced only to bring the feelings
of serenity and peacefulness in a person -- dragon Reiki is preferred by more
and more people especially those who are suffering from terminal illnesses.
This is because many patients believe that because of the powerful life energy
force that is awakened in during a session, it gives the patient more will and
optimism to live and get well.

Because of the effectivity of dragon in healing people who suffer from major
illnesses, this has been practiced in many medical institutions juts like
clinics and hospitals. In fact, more and more hospitals are offering dragon
Reiki as a part of the overall treatment process because the doctors themselves
believe that this fuels the hope and positivism of the patient.

Just like the traditional practice of Reiki, dragon Reiki was discovered and
originated in Japan. But, in order to veer away from the confines of the
traditional practice, various Reiki masters opted to conduct further studies
away from its origin country to make it more versatile, effective, and powerful.

These Reiki masters traveled all parts of the world and search for practices
and concepts that can improve the dragon Reiki healing. One of the countries
where Reiki masters stayed for a long time in studying this art of healing is
China.

Being a country -- where various traditional and alternative healing were
existent -- Reiki masters discovered that people in this country could help
them in improving this art of healing. The country is also advantageous for
Reiki masters because the Chinese tradition believed that an effective
spiritual healing could be derived from the sanctity of the dragon.

Believing that that "dragon" can be strong link in healing a person's spirit
because of its innate connection with nature, any people in China adopted the
concept of the healing process.

True enough, more and more Chinese people were into dragon Reiki as a healing
form and spread the world to the rest of the country. In a matter of years,
dragon Reiki became one of the most opted and popular forms of spiritual
healing in all parts of the country.

Healing through dragon Reiki

Since it has stemmed from the traditional Reiki, which uses the person's innate
life energy force, dragon Reiki also makes use of this invisible force -- only,
it focuses on the person's balanced spirituality. Dragon Reiki masters say that
a person can be healed through this form of healing if they can develop the
ability to bring forth their emotional and physical life forces.

To be able to be healed, people must have a proper balance of spirituality to
be able to awaken the positivism in them. When a person achieves this balance
in spirit, he/she can live life to its fullest extent -- stress free and
content.

What sets dragon Reiki from the other types is that it aims to heal not only
the person's body and emotions but also nurtures his or her spirituality --
opening newer and larger horizons for change and growth.

Message From The Heavens: Celestial Reiki

Let's break the concept down into simpler explanations. If you don't know what
reiki is, in a nutshell, it is a technique or a spiritual practice that is used
to heal. In simpler terms the practice help reduce stress and induce deep
relaxation, among other benefits.

The technique was developed by Japanese Mikao Usui and was primarily intended
as a form of therapy that could be used in tandem with conventional techniques
for treating physical, emotional and mental illnesses. It is a healing
technique.

The concept of celestial reiki is the same. But instead of having a spiritual
experience limited here on Earth, one who practices celestial reiki takes into
account the other planets of the solar system as well as stars and
constellations, particularly the star constellations of the 12 signs of the
zodiac.

According to the teachings of reiki, there's an energy that can be channeled to
help heal diseases. This energy is universal and flows within us as our "life
force". This life force energy dictates our feelings and dispositions. The more
active the energy flows through us, the healthier and happier we become.

With celestial reiki, the "life force" that is used to heal in ordinary reiki
is taken further. The earth's core "life force" energy is used to heal the
mind, body and soul. And since all planets and star systems emit a particular
"life force" signature, celestial reiki practitioners harness that energy and
use the energy from the celestial bodies to heal the human body.

Reiki treatment involves the whole body. This includes the body's physical
state and its emotional, intellectual and, of course, the spiritual well being.
When you look at it, reiki is a simple self-improvement technique. And since the
"life force" energy it teaches is said to be present in all things, anybody can
use this energy to heal and promote recovery.

It's not limited to individual energy, but encompasses the universe. This is
why the "life force" energy in reiki is infinite. And regardless of how many
times or how many people use it, the "life force" energy can always be utilized
to heal.

However, reiki is not taught but rather the ability is transferred by a Reiki
master to his student during the stage of what they call "attunement." At this
level, the Reiki master passes the ability of reiki to a student allowing hem
to tap to the "life force" energy which will give him the ability to heal
wounds and illnesses and generally improve one's quality of life.

One need to emphasize, however, that reiki is not a religion. Instead, those
who practices reiki get more intimate with their own religion, understanding
and enriching their own religious beliefs. A reiki practitioner has to promote
the way of good living in order to master the flow of the "life force" and
promote harmony and peace for true healing to happen.

Going back to celestial reiki, what we currently know about the solar system
and stars is given a new light by practicing this form of reiki.

Understand that the universe's "life force" energy can be channeled it into
one's hands to heal not only on the individual level but eventually heal the
whole planet as well. And by connecting with each planet and star system, reiki
practitioners are able to accomplish such feat.

What is Reiki Nur Ilahi

Reiki is an ancient form of healing that came from Japan using your hands. If
you want to learn this technique, you have to learn this from a Reiki master.
You too can become a master and then go on further by learning Reiki Nur Ilahi
which in English means "divine ray of enlightenment."

Reiki Nur Ilahi is pronounced Noor ee-loa-hee. There are eight levels of these
often referred to as Magam. This term means "state of divine accomplishment of
your awareness" and those who are able to learn it can heal certain emotional,
mental and physical illnesses as well as purify the soul and spirit.

Unlike the other forms or Reiki, it does not use any symbols. The only
prerequisite is that the person should already be a reiki master. This will
make it easier for him or her to move from one level to the next since you just
have to do affirmation to continue up the ladder. This is because after you
reach level 8, there are still other Reiki techniques that you can learn.

The main goal of Reiki Nur Ilahi is for the person to gain unity to both your
self and God's consciousness. There are not that many schools that teach this
technique. In fact, there is not that information about it but if you hard
enough, you will find out that there are experts who prefer to give this
training online.

You will be emailed a detailed manual of the course, distant initiation so you
don't have to travel and once you pass through the course, you will be given a
certificate of completion.

When you are looking for someone that will train you in Reiki Nur Ilahi, you
should ask them from the beginning if this will allow you to teach others in
the future or will you have to take another sessions and pay additional fees in
order for this to work.

That person should be competent enough to teach everything you need to know and
offer support in the future if this is needed since this healing technique is
not just for yourself but for others who also need it.

After passing through the course and getting the certificate, it is best to
practice Reiki Nur Ilahi with friends who are already into Reiki so they can be
used as attunement models. Surely, you will know your success if they feel some
improvements. But if you have no one to practice with, you can try doing this
first perhaps on a stuffed animal or even a pillow.

Reiki has a deeper purpose because you don't only heal yourself or others when
it can also serve as a guide in your life. You just have to practice until you
become confident because you don't become a master overnight. You have to earn
it just like when you first started out as a student who didn't know much about
it but now desires to learn the powers of Reiki Nur Ilahi.

One thing you have to remember about Reiki Nur Ilahi or any of the types is
that you did not master it but rather you have been mastered by it. This is
because you totally surrender yourself to something bigger and the long term
benefits are endless.

The Spiritual Awareness Through Shamanic Reiki

Combining the concepts behind shamanism and reiki into a single healing session
increases the benefits of the beliefs and practices of both. Shamanic reiki
draws its foundations from concepts of shamanic journeying and channeling the
living energy to create healing techniques that are powerful and effective in
alleviating anxiety, depression, stress, fatigue, and even illnesses.

This reiki technique fully encompasses treatments on the spiritual and
energetic levels, allowing the practitioner to discover new ways of healing.

Shamanism is a very old system of beliefs whose roots can be found in pagan
traditions and practices that uses the products of the Earth to heal. You'll
find different kinds of shamanism but all practices healing techniques that
incorporate the use of herbs and communicating with spirits.

Other similarities of the different forms of shamanism include the belief that
shamans are able to control or cooperate with spirits for the benefit of others
that existing spirits can be good and bad, and that shamans are capable of
treating sicknesses and illnesses. In other words, shamans are often seen as
not only priests that communicate with the living world and the world of
spirits but as healers, magicians, and teachers as well.

When integrated to the Japanese Reiki, shamanism becomes more encompassing and
a lot interesting. With shamanic reiki, the spiritual energy is used to see
where exactly in the body do we need to concentrate healing techniques. In
shamanism, the healing process revolves around the seven chakras in the human
body. Determining which of the seven chakra or life forces is blocked will
determine which area to concentrate healing techniques.

Once the area has been determine, shamanic reiki practitioners combine
traditional concepts of chakra healing techniques, the use of stones and
crystals, as well as the use of medicinal herbs, all of which draws foundations
from ancient shamanic healing. Combining these shamanic elements to channeling
energy techniques from reiki, and the results can be quite effective.

Among the most popular techniques used in shamanic reiki is the use of crystal
during the heal process. More specifically, practitioners of this reiki
technique use quarts, rose quarts, and amethyst as a means to channel the life
force energy from the hands of the healer to the person being healed. The
shamanic reiki energy, together with the crystals helps increase the flow of
spiritual energy regaining the balance that was lost. Mental, physical,
emotional and spiritual imbalances will be regained after sessions of shamanic
reiki procedures.

To increase efficiency, there are combinations of crystals that seem to work
well doubling the healing process. Shamanic principles are at play when
choosing combinations of crystals, mostly pairing them with the colors that
corresponds to the chakras of the human body. For example, tailbone chakra
would require black, red, or brown stones and the heart chakra would need to be
paired with pink or green stones. The crown requires a white stone or crystal
while the throat area requires blue stones.

Also, shamanic reiki incorporates other shamanic healing elements like shape
shifting techniques, the use of symbols, the use of spiritual guides and even
the shamanic time journeying or astral travel. Shamanic reiki can be
complicated but the idea is rather simple.

The use shamanic traditions and techniques to channel the life force energy in
all of us to induce healing. Everything boils down to this.

Egyptian Reiki

Egyptian Reiki is better known as Reyad Sekh Em? Rei is the universal life
force while Sekh Em is energy from the four elements namely air, earth, fire,
ether (spirit) and water. It is designed to heal more deeply bringing greater
balance on all levels be it emotional, mental, physical or spiritual.

Egyptian Reiki just like the Japanese version commonly being practiced today
includes a negative energy drain that helps remove symptoms of depression or
deep seated pain.

This ultra high vibrational healing system was developed by Joanna Bristow
Watkins who traveled to Egypt several times and came up with this using an
authentic Khemitian approach.

Patients who will undergo treatment will receive a 5 minute consultation prior
to the treatment and asked to remove any jewelry or any items that may restrict
the healing process except for one's clothing.

The practitioner will then place their hands lightly on the patient's body in
different positions to start the healing process. However, if the session is to
treat bruises or burns, the hands will not touch the body.

The session will last for one to two hours. If you happen to fall asleep, don't
feel bad because this is the body's way of healing itself.

Egyptian Reiki is different from other types of healing because it usually
takes just one session before results are noticed. Although it is very similar
to Japanese Reiki, this method can help the person deal with spiritual problems
while the other cannot.

Most people that have undergone Egyptian Reiki claim they feel sensations such
as tingling warmth or heat while others feel cold. It is also possible that one
may have a heightened sense of emotions but the vast majority felt a sense of
calm and relaxation.

After the session, the patient may feel a renewed zest for life while others
may feel exhausted. Although you may feel something in the first session, the
healing process usually takes three days to three weeks to complete before
everything is back to normal. During the course of the healing process, the
patient is advised to drink lots of water and rest whenever possible.

Egyptian Reiki has been effective in treating chronic aches and pains as well
as energetic, mental and physical disorders. But because it is only an
alternative form of medicine, this must be not be substituted with medical
science.

Reyad Sekh Em is completely safe. Those who want to practice it can also learn
this so they too can help others that are suffering.

There are five levels that people have to master to become a master and it
doesn't matter if you have experience in Reiki or not because everyone will be
taught at an even pace so no one will be left behind.

There is also a three week cleansing process. During this time, the person
should let go of old issues, eat healthy and organic food, drinks lots of
spring water, exercise and rest. This will prepare you for the next lesson so
eventually you may become a master.

The extent to which cleaning is felt during the cleansing process shows how
much a person has changed. This can change you entirely and even your outlook
in life because you need to harness unconditional love to give this to whoever
needs it and which is the true essence of Egyptian Reiki.

Abundance and Prosperity Reiki

Everyone deserves to be happy. In fact, this can only happen when there is
abundance and prosperity which happen to be the basic principles of Reiki.

Abundance and prosperity Reiki can only be achieved by following the five
principles namely give cheerfully, change your voice if you want to desire,
know your life's purpose, be aware that there must be no mistakes or regrets
and living the mantra.

Dr. Usui believed that by having these in our thoughts and what we say, we are
able to live positive lives. If we dwell in doubt and other negative things,
our dreams will never happen.

As Reiki practitioners, we should use our talent not only to heal ourselves and
those around us but also the world at large. This is because attunement
strengthens our thoughts making us realize that we have a potential to do more
in our life.

But you have to admit that words have different meanings for each of us. For
some abundance and prosperity means more money and wealth while some may see it
as success in business or in one's career.

Of course this definition may also mean having a loving marriage and a loving
family. It just goes to show that it does not always mean material things.

This is probably one of the things that make us extraordinary among the other
species in the planet because we have the creative power of divine heart and
mind connection. We just have to tap this gift and use it so we may be able to
fulfill or even find our purpose in life.

So what are money, love and peace? Such things are energies that we see as
reality. But such a belief is not pointed in just one direction when Reiki's
energy is universal and we can use that power to change what is happening
around us.

One thing we have to remember is that there are universal laws that govern
abundance. Seasons come and go and despite everything, we are just limitless
beings. This is why man must strive for the highest good and hold on to things
that are only of value to ourselves.

When we feel that things are not going our way, this is the time that we must
reflect and see if the things that are considered to be important hold the same
priority as they did before. If they do not, this must be removed and then
changed to a positive energy that can produce something better. In essence, we
let go of the old to make room for the new.

How do you begin this journey? By creating a list of what is important in your
life, reviewing each one and then figuring out which of these have to go. It is
best to pay attention to how you feel about each one and then only keep those
that add value to your quality of life.

This is probably the most important part in any level of Reiki as you are
undergoing the 21 day cleansing process. Afterwards, you can move on with our
life because Abundance and Prosperity can be achieved by using Reiki as your
guide.

If you need references, look at the manual that was given to your during the 2
day training because this is not something you read and throw away.

Medicine Reiki, A Perfect Union Of East And West

The bear and the eagle, Father Sun and Mother Earth. Nope, this is not an
animal or environmental write-up. But rather, this short write-up is about
Native American medicine practices and how it can be combined with another
Eastern technique called Reiki to come up with a healing method that channels
the life force energies of everything that surrounds us.

Practitioners refer to this as Medicine Reiki, a technique which combines the
medicinal approaches of Native Americans and the rather spiritual approaches of
Japanese Reiki.

But medicine reiki was not created to surpass any other forms of Reiki but it
was created because of a realization that there is a way to broaden and deepen
the understanding of the energy that binds us all together. It can be seen as a
natural course of action, from a general concept as Reiki, to more specialized
forms like medicine reiki.

By integrating Native American concepts of healing, beliefs and practices to
the knowledge of channeling the life force energy of Reiki, healing takes place
faster than when using regular Reiki or ordinary Native American medicines
alone. How so, you might ask? The answer all lies on how these two elements
work.

We take medicines to heal our physical ailments. But because medicines heal
only the physical aspects of our body, the possibility of the illness or
disease striking twice is not that far off. Medicines offer merely temporary
relief. Reiki on the other hand, is an encompassing discipline which targets
the physical, mental, spiritual and mental aspects of our existence. Reiki
practitioners use the infinite energy that surrounds us, channels that energy
and allow it to flow to anyone or anything that needs healing.

By combining these two elements of healing, you'll get medicine energy that
heals beyond its normal capacity. The combination heals both the physical state
and the inner dispositions of the body faster as well.

The concept of medicine reiki is relatively new. It was K'sitew who founded
this branch of reiki in the late 90s. From then on it grew and the practice
expanded to include other energies.

The good thing about medicine reiki is that it can only be used for healing.
Unlike when taken alone, medicines can be good and bad, a dualistic energy
source. Reiki is a monadic energy which means it is only good energy thus
cannot do any harm. When reiki is integrated with medicine, the dualistic
energy of the latter is converted into a monadic energy resulting to a positive
form of energy whose only capacity is to heal and not damage or hurt someone.

What also makes medicine reiki different is that the healing process is done in
groups or in small communities. Participation of the community is necessary
during the healing sessions creating a closer bond between individuals which is
great for sharing energy. The closer the bonds between the members of the group,
the greater the energy flows within the group, the better and faster the healing
process.

Since the founding of this reiki technique, more healing methods have developed
which draws its origins from native American medicines.

And as long as practitioners exist, this reiki healing technique will continue
to grow and expand bringing forth new healing methods or techniques that will
help people challenge their health and energy levels.

The Brahma Satya Reiki

Brahma Satya Reiki is a recent evolution of Reiki which originated from India
as a result of descent of Shiva-Shakti as Brahma Satya. This descent was said
to occur sometime in August of 1997.

It was during this time that Deepak Hardikar was drawn into the waves of this
descent in deep meditative states that the brahma sutras, or the universal keys
were revealed. Along with this revelation came the existence of the system now
known as Brahma Satya Reiki.

In further explaining Brahna Satya Reiki, one must be able to learn and
understand its name. "Reiki" is a Japanese word that is the result of joining
together of two words. One of the words is "Rei" which means Universal and "Ki"
which means the Life Force Energy. As for the Indian origin of the name,
"Brahma" means Brahmaan or the Universe and "Satya" means the Truth.

It can be said that "Reiki" is just a similar translation of the original
Indian word, "Brahmaprana". Reiki or Brahmaprana can both be explained as that
life force energy which exists all over the universe. It is through that primal
energy from which the life forms exist in the entire universe.

Brahma Satya Reiki therefore can be further described as the Universal Truth of
the Universal Life Force Energy. Through this new type of Reiki method, it is
said that Reiki exists in the form of Shakti, Shiva-Shakti and Shiva. These are
considered as the three primal energies which are radiated out of the very
source of universal existence.

Through this, practitioners believe Reiki as also to refer to the Divine
energy. Each of the three primal energies represents the primal vibrations and
has their own special and unique characteristics.

The first primal energy, Shakti, is believed to provide inner strength
essential for the realization of any type of task. Shiva is said to be the
primal energy that is responsible for the completion or dissolution of any
task. Shiva-Shakti is said to be that primal energy which combines the two
other primal energies of Shiva and Shakti.

Through Shiva-Shakti the two can be considered either as independently
functioning energies or also a joint form of these two primal energies.
Shiva-Shakti is a very rare form of primal energy that requires inner strength
and an intrinsic realization of the inner core knowledge required for the
fulfillment and completion of any task.

This intrinsic realization can also result in the feeling of contentment and
satisfaction which can bring about a constant experience of bliss. The Brahma
Satya Reiki is the only type of the Reiki system that is known to be based upon
the Shiva-Shakti.

In general, Brahma Satya Reiki, just like other forms of Reiki that has been
developed through the years, is commonly understood as a holistic natural
healing system. It is a system that provides individual well-being. It is a
system that is very simple to learn and practice. The Brahma Satya Reiki is
also considered as a stress relieving relaxation technique. Practice of the
said system can effectively help dissolve existing pains and other struggles
experienced by individuals.

The practice of Brahma Satya Reiki focuses attention towards the conscious
awareness of all factors that essentially cause the pains and struggles that
people experience. Brahma Satya Reiki gives importance upon the practical
applicability of reiki, be it related to the physical body, emotional issues or
the handling of life's various adverse situations.

This system of reiki also stresses on the long distance method of healing,
which is considered as a definite shift from all of the other existing forms of
reiki. This aspect of the Brahma Satya Reiki is a distinct advantage in
situations where the touch healing aspect of reiki is too difficult to be
practically adopted.

Celtic Reiki, Drawing Energy from Nature

Energy flows fro m the hands of a practitioner towards the person being healed.
This is how reiki healing is conducted. Using the life force energy that is
present in and all around us to heal and re-establish balance in one's being is
one of the basic beliefs of reiki.

And taking this life force energy a little further, practitioners have entered
into realizations and developed several reiki techniques to promote healing
faster. One of which is a version called Celtic reiki.

Celtic reiki utilizes the energy flows present on Earth and specific plants.
Practitioners of this reiki use not only the universal "life force" energy
present in all things but also the specific energy found in nature to heal
those who needs healing.

This reiki system comes from the religious beliefs of early Celts. To the early
Celts, trees are important aspects of their religion believing that trees have
their own spirits. They gave the trees such high regards that they even
patterned their writing system based on the trees.

The Celts' Ogham, which is the ancient writing of Celtic people, uses symbols
or letters that are cut as a series of notches and symbolizes different kinds
of trees. Each letter represents a different kind of tree, specifically chosen
for qualities that can be linked to spiritual concepts.

Some of the trees that are represented in the Celtic alphabet include the
silver fir, birch, hawthorn, heather, ash, oak, willow, elder, yew, grove, ivy,
hazel, and honeysuckle. Practitioners of Celtic reiki use the symbols from the
Ogham. This reiki also follows the Celtic philosophy of bravery, honor,
integrity, valor and reverence.

But even though Celtic reiki draws influences from ancient Celtic religion, the
practice itself is not a religious one. But rather it is a therapy that aims to
treat the mind, body and spirit. It is not connected to any religion and as
such can be passed down to everybody regardless of age, race, gender, and
culture.

Celtic reiki was created by Martyn Pentecost. It was developed further Julie
Norman. Practitioners of this reiki see this technique as a beautiful and
earthy form. Having foundations on earth energy, this reiki has to channel the
energy vibrations from the earth, specific plants, trees and the ocean through
the root chakra as opposed to the crown chakra that is where conventional reiki
channels the energy.

The techniques developed by Pentecost between 1998 and 2000 are used for
therapy and goal creations. Combining the concept of the original reiki and the
various Celtic beliefs and rituals, the Celtikc reiki techniques were created to
handle day to day activities like tackling issues of prosperity, finance, work,
and building relationships.

People who are interested in plants, trees, and tree and plant legend or lore,
are often drawn to the Celtic reiki belief. Men in particular are drawn closer
to the Celtic reiki because it seems that this reiki has more masculine types
of energy. But in reality, Celtic reiki is regarded as an equal among the other
kinds of reikis.

The Celtic reiki treatment usually lasts for an hour and involves placing the
hands in strategic locations and in specific sequences that will elicit a deep
state of relaxation.

A student achieving attunement means having been open to the tree and plant
energies, the ethics of stuff, the various Celtic symbols, hand placements,
moon phases, and the various aspects of soul journeying, retrieval, and
realization.

Learning About Maori Reiki

Maori Reiki is one of the many forms of the popular Reiki system of spiritual
healing. And just like the original Reiki system, it is considered to be as a
part of alternative medicine. There are many types of Reiki spiritual healing
now available. Most of the prominent ones include Dragon Reiki, Gendai Reiki,
Brahma Satya Reiki and the Shamanic Reiki. Maori Reiki is just one of these
many forms.

The different forms of Reiki spiritual healing were usually developed in the
place where they originated from. Geography alone plays a big part in the
development of these different forms of Reiki. As for the Maori Reiki, it was
developed from a unique tribe found in New Zealand called the Maoris.

The Maori people are considered as a very spiritual tribe with many of their
beliefs based on the spiritual aspect of life. The Maori tribe has developed
their own way of spiritual healing through their years of existence. The unique
spiritual healing practice has been handed down from generation to generation.
The tradition has been carried on by some of the descendants of the Maori tribe
even today.

Although the Maori Reiki form of spiritual healing may be similar in some ways
with the other Reiki systems, it also has its own distinction over them. The
Maori Reiki form of spiritual healing is based a lot on trying to cleanse the
body of any spiritual and physical toxic waste. Healing of the body is achieved
through getting rid of the spiritual and physical wastes accumulated through the
many years.

The main aim of Maori Reiki masters is to cleanse both the body and soul. An
excess of waste in the body can slow down and make people feel physically
drained and fatigued, thereby affecting daily life. The same thing happens if a
person is carrying a lot of spiritual toxic waste. This type of waste can lead
to multitude of negative feelings in a person.

Maori Reiki can help people get rid of these physical and spiritual toxins as
well as the negative energy that they create. By releasing these toxins, only
then can people begin to feel both physically and spiritually whole and
balanced once again.

Another difference that Maori Reiki may have on other Reiki systems is that it
employs the use of natural objects that help the Maori Reiki master to heal
people physically and spiritually. The natural objects particularly used
include certain types of wood that carry with them some spiritual properties.

Gemstones, crystals and natural stones are also some of the natural objects
that Maori Reiki masters use to heal the spirit and the body. The use of herbs
and other natural remedies that also carry spiritual and healing properties is
also employed to further aid the Maori Reiki master.

In a typical Maori Reiki session, it is essential that a person needs to get in
touch with more nature. This is the initial belief since the past generations of
the Maori tribe were very naturalistic and holistic in their approach to
healing. By using the tools that nature has provided for them, Maori Reiki
masters can use the energy that these objects impart to aid healing people from
the inside out.

People can experience the unique Maori Reiki spiritual healing treatments if
they are dealing with a multitude of physical and emotional stress. Substance
abuse or drug addiction may also be alternatively treated using the Maori Reiki
system.

Feiki Reiki

Reiki is an ancient method of healing that has been used for centuries. Since
it's reintroduction in the early 20th century, various methods have been
produced and one of them although considered by some as radical is called Feiki
Reiki.

But why is it a radical form of Reiki? This is because the technique not only
recharges your energy but it also awakens your senses. This makes you realize
that nothing lies outside ourselves when the power and everything else we need
is within us.

We have to tap that power to become better individuals and that can only be
done by learning from a master and then improving who we are.

Regardless of what you choose to use, the purpose of Reiki is still the same.
This technique teaches you to use the surrounding energy to heal your body and
give you or whoever you are helping inner peace.

By practicing this regularly, you will be able to clear your body of negative
energies that are mental blocks and causes of illness. This keeps you healthy
and strong as well as gives your more creativity to flow through your mind.

One thing that you can't miss even in radical Reiki is balance. This includes
not only physical balance but also for the mind and spirit which gives you time
to relax and revitalize your body.

If you want to learn conventional or radical Reiki, you have to start at level
1 training. The instructor will first teach you about the symbols and then
after going through a cleansing period, you may choose to learn the other
levels to the point that can even make you become a master.

There are a few attributes that go with Feiki Reiki. First is purification that
is associated with a pure form of energy. It is often said that this can move
into one that causes a higher vibration of energy to move through that person
and thus causes healing. The second attribute is being able to transform fear
and negative thoughts into an attribute. In short, you face your fears until
you are no longer afraid of them.

Once you have mastered them, you will be able to call on a specific universal
energy to help with your healing.

Feiki Reiki is often online. You can find it by typing this in a search engine
or maybe look it up in your local area so you don't have to travel very far to
learn this but if you have no choice, you can just opt for distance learning.

The use of Feiki Reiki is not very common compared to the other forms
available. Just the same, its focus is still to help you heal from any
emotional, physical or spiritual problem that you or others may have. By using
it regularly and making this a part of your daily life, you will realize that
it can also serve as a guide.

After all, life is meaningless without a purpose and this may be the key to
help you on your way. So read up on it to find out if Feiki Reiki is the right
technique for you. If possible, talk to an instructor. There are plenty to
choose from and that is something you have to find out for yourself.

Kundalini Reiki For Free

If you look at it, Kundalini reiki is quite simple. It aims to the open up the
energy within our body and channel it into a form that can be used for healing.
It encompasses the elements of traditional reiki and the practices and beliefs
of yoga. The main objective is to reach the highest spiritual level possible,
being united with the divine. A free kundalini reiki discussion follows.

There has been a lot of name for it. It has been referred to as "Kundalini
fire", the "serpent energy", the "coiled energy", and even the "dormant power."
If you're going to follow Hindu beliefs, you will learn that Kundalini is a
serpent goddess whose favorite place is at the base of the spine where she
sleeps, waiting for someone to wake her up.

Waking Kundalini means releasing an immense energy within us, an energy that
will push out of every chakra opening in the body creating sensations of bliss,
ecstasy, increase physical powers, visions, brilliance, and even pain.

In Kundalini reiki, there are three levels of attunements each aims at
strengthening the energy channels in the body to allow the Kundalini energy to
flow out, cleansing blockages that might have accrued in time. The healing
energy of the Kundalini allows practitioners to treat using a variety of
methods, some hands-on healing while others are long-distance healing
techniques.

Although the concept is simple enough, problems are usually encountered in
awakening individual Kundalini. It is said that only a few people have actually
reached the level of Kundalini awakening. Some have prepared themselves for
years trying to awaken their own Kundalini but to no avail.

There are different ways to open the window for a Kundalini awakening. Deep
meditations, yoga, and events like trauma or near death experiences can be
triggers to releasing the sleeping Kundalini energy. According to beliefs,
there have been two effective exercises in the past that proved to be
successful in awakening the Kundalini. The breath technique or the kumbhaka is
one of them. And the other is the three locks or bandha traya.

But awakening the Kundalini is just half the battle. If years have been spent
just preparing for the release of this dormant energy, it will almost take the
same time to receive the cleansing process brought forth by the awakening of
the Kundalini. Mastering the energy of Kundalini begins with the lowest chakra
and moves it way up to the head or the crown chakra. The process might take
years.

Even though Kundalini is meant for healing, the enormous energy it releases can
cause some level of discomfort. In such situations, there is a necessity to
purify the body which means removing in its system drugs, alcohol, tobacco,
caffeine, and greasy foods. Stress should be reduced as well and other issues
that might come up whether psychological or emotional should be treated.

When released properly, Kundalini reiki heals the body, reducing stress and
providing renewed energy. The combination of traditional reiki practices and
the energy of the kundalini fire are effective in promotion spiritual growth
and healing geared towards the attainment of enlightenment.

By learning kundalini reiki, you will acquire the knowledge of the various ways
to give treatment to another person, the various techniques of healing yourself
and the different methods of long-distance healing.

It all starts with this free Kundalini reiki discussion. I hope you pursue this
path towards enlightenment.
