Introduction to Reiki
What is Reiki? and where did it come from?
Hi Everybody,
There is a basic misunderstanding about Reiki…some people think it’s a religion and goes against the values of the Church, or Christ. It is NOT a religion.
Reiki is an ancient Japanese form of hands on healing that was originally brought to our attention by Dr. Usui. Dr. Usui was said to have gone and meditated on a high mountain for 21 days without food, and was shown very sacred symbols.
When he came back to the village with this sacred knowledge, he knew he had been given a great gift. He started using these symbols in healing people by placing his hands on people and using these symbols in his mind with sounds or words attached to the symbols.
People would flock to him, but he wanted to teach people how to do this healing work for themselves. He knew people would value the gift if they had to pay for it. So he charged very high prices to learn this gift. At one point in time it would cost a person $10,000 to become a Reiki Master along with years of practicing and apprenticing.
In modern times, it is easy very easy to learn Reiki. But in keeping with the strict standards of learning Reiki, the symbols are to be kept secret. If you practice the symbols on paper, the paper must be destroyed.
However a Reiki Master and healer, Diane Stein shocked the Reikiworld when she published her Reiki book exposing all the symbols!
Reiki introduced to me the power of self healing and allowed me to share this gift with others. After experiencing many amazing healing effects, I wanted to learn more. That was when I turned to CranioSacral Therapy. And then QuantumTouch, EFT, Chinese Energetic Medicine, Yuen healing method, and many many more.
But the bottom line is…our minds and our thoughts which are intentions are seeding the future of our health, and our experiences. Keeping an open mind that you will attract the perfect balance and experiences that will be in your highest and best good.
Monthly sessions have been so beneficial for to many people.
Great blog. Do you know of any relevant forums or discussion groups?
When I first experienced what healing energy can do, I was hooked. I had to learn everything about it. My most difficult thing to see about myself during my journey as a energetic healer, I did not own my space when I did it. That did not mean that the healing I performed did not work, I would just heal the same picture in people over and over and over again.
