What
is Reiki?
The name Reiki derives from
the Japanese pronunciation of two Japanese characters that describe the
energy itself: 'rei' (meaning 'unseen' or 'spiritual') and ‘ki’.
In English, the meaning of Reiki is often given as 'universal life energy'
Japanese speakers use the term as a generic 'spiritual power' while the
Usui Method of Reiki Healing is specifically Usui reiki shiki ryoho.
Theory
Reiki teachings state that
there is a universal 'life force' energy, which can be accessed by practitioners
to induce a healing effect. The belief is that the energy will flow through
the practitioner's hands whenever the hands are placed on, or held near
a potential recipient. Some teachings stress the importance of the practitioner's
intention or presence in this process, while others claim that the energy
is drawn by the recipient's injury to activate or enhance the natural healing
processes. A second level of training, including another initiation, is
said to equip the practitioner to perform Reiki treatments from a distance.
This method, it is stated, involves the use of special symbols to form
a temporary connection between the practitioner and the recipient, regardless
of location, and then to send the Reiki energy. The energy involved in
a Reiki treatment is said to be 'from the Universe,' rather than the personal
energy of the practitioner, and is therefore inexhaustible. Reiki is described
by adherents as a holistic therapy which brings about healing on physical,
mental, emotional and spiritual levels. It is said that healing may occur
in any or all of these domains in a single treatment, without any conscious
direction needed by either the practitioner or the recipient.
Training
The teaching of Reiki outside
of Japan is commonly divided into three levels, or degrees.
First degree:
REIKI I
The first degree Reiki course
teaches the basic theories and procedures of how to work with Reiki energy.
The channel through which Reiki energy passes to the practitioner is said
to be opened or widened through four "attunements" given to the student
by the teacher. Students learn hand placement positions on the recipient's
body that are thought to be most conducive to the healing process in a
whole body treatment. Having completed the first degree course, the participant
can treat himself and others with Reiki. The course duration is typically
two days, although this varies widely.
Second degree:
REIKI II
In the second degree Reiki
course, the student learns the use of three symbols which are said to enhance
the healing effect and allow for distance healing. Another attunement is
given which is said to further increase the capacity for Reiki to flow
through the student, as well as empowering the use of the symbols. Having
completed the second level, the student can treat people with Reiki without
being physically present with the recipient.
Master Level:
REIKI III
Through the third degree,
or "master training", the student becomes a Reiki Master. One or more attunements
are carried out and the student learns a further master-level symbol. Having
completed the master training, the new Reiki Master can attune other people
to Reiki and teach the three degrees of Reiki. The first and second degrees
are prerequisites for the master training. The duration of the master training
can be anything from a day to a year or more, depending on the school and
philosophy of the Reiki Master giving the training. In the case of comprehensive
training, the third level is often broken into two or three smaller stages
of attunements and teaching.
Karuna
Karuna is offered as a healing art and spiritual practice. Meditation and practice of any energy system or art has the effect of increasing your capacity to handle energy as well as your own personal vibration. That includes consistent practice with Usui Reiki or personal meditation. Karuna has new meditations, new uses for the symbols, and new attunements. It is a loving, heart centered compassionate healing art that works best with the focus on the loving compassion of all creation flowing through you. You can use the Karuna Ki symbols just like using the Usui Reiki symbols, weaving them with Usui or any other Reiki form.
Vibro-Acoustic
A good part of the stress we all experience in the twentieth century is due to the advancements of our own technology. This same technology, combined with our traditional techniques for healing and achieving balance, may help neutralize the stress we created.
Far-reaching possibilities are inherent in using this type of vibrational technology in the areas of massage, energy work, physical healing, emotional release work, hypnosis, stress reduction, relaxation and meditation. Through the use of sound, music and tones delivered through the Vibro-Acoustic System, brainwaves are stimulated to match frequencies of deep states of relaxation and meditation.
Qigong
The Five Element Medical Qigong Set is a series of movements that stimulate the major Chinese energy meridian systems in the human body. Qigong work opens the chi meridians to build and circulate Qi to all areas of the body. Qigong is a healthy lifestyle practice. Benefits include stress reduction, improved circulation, a sense of balance, weight control and an overall increase in energy for everyday life. The Five Element set was developed by Sifu Xu Hung Tao in Beijing China in the Medicine-less Hospital.
Tai Chi
Tai Chi is a Chinese marital and healing art designed to develop “chi” or energy within the body. It is characterized by slow, gentle movements. Its can be used to rejuvenate, heal, and prevent illness and is especially good for cardiovascular health and stress reduction. Each week will provide repetition of what has learned previously as well as an introduction and practice of new movements. Tai Chi can be practiced as a moving medication.
