The Holistic Life Force
Reiki
| Reiki, pronounced Ray-Key is a Japanese word and in Japan is used to describe many types of Spiritual & Healing work. It is not exclusive to the system of healing based on Dr.Usui’s method. The system of healing evolved from Dr.Usui’s method is called Usui System of Reiki Healing (Usui Shiki Ryoho). The word Reiki has been loosely translated as Universal Life Energy . Reiki is a wavelength or source energy. It is a vibration that cannot be found by chance and can only be achieved by a precise attunement, given by a properly trained and suitably qualified Reiki Master. Reiki is envisaged as a Golden Energy A beautiful white gold colour. More information upon request. Other Reiki Denominations Available Karuna Ki --- Kundalini --- Sacred Moon Etc How does Reiki work? While there are various theories as to how Reiki might work, there is no clear answer to this – all that can be said for certain is that it does. Dis-ease, dis-harmony, un-wellness is believed to occur due to disruptions/inhibitions in the flow of vital life force within our being. Many believe that the specific radiant energy-pattern which we call Reiki, emanating from the practitioner’s hands, simply assists the body to correct and re-balance the flow of our life force, thus returning us to a state of wellness and generally enhancing the quality of our experience of our lifeReiki Healing Usui Shiki Ryoho Direct Lineage to Dr.Usui Reiki works by promoting the body’s own natural healing process. It works on all levels:- Physical, Mental, Emotional & The Spiritual. The energy is usually transferred to the precipitant When the practitioners hands are placed on or near the person they are treating. Reiki will only go where it is most needed, and will only work for the person’s highest good. Therefore Reiki cannot do any harm. Some may experience heat or tingling sensations, coolness slight disorientation, feeling of sinking or floating. You may fall asleep, see colours, and images. You may not feel anything, but this is okay. For most people it is a beautiful and deeply relaxing experience. Reiki - a gentle therapy Reiki is a gentle, yet profound, non-invasive therapy, which can facilitate stressreduction and relaxation, support effective immune-system function, enhance the body's self-healing mechanisms, and replenish and nurture vitality. Reiki can be effectively used in combination with other therapies – both allopathic and alternative – and has been shown to effective stimulate the relaxation response. Rather than acting solely on a physical level, Reiki is holistic in its effect - eliciting a healing response across the entire spectrum of ones being - physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. It can prove beneficial in the resolving of physical disorders, nervous conditions and emotional issues, and help nurture a greater sense of balance, well-being, and wholeness in ones life. The gentle Reiki phenomenon has no negative side effects, and does not require any concentration on the part of the client.

Reiki may also be used in conjunction with all other treatments, and therapies, but NOT to replace them. If you are taking medication prescribed by your doctor, you MUST continue with his directives.

Reiki is most beneficial for stress, anxiety, depression, back pain, skin disorders, grief, addictions, migraines, strokes, sports injuries, accelerating recovery after surgery, strengthen the immune system, detox, and cleanse the body, cleanse the aura, general physical, and mental wellbeing, increase inner peace, clarity, grounding, energy, emotional balance, and balance.

(Watch for dates) Home Attunement also available upon request. If you wish to be placed on our waiting list, please telephone Gray on 07947-716706 or E.Mail him at graham@reiki-holistic-alternatives.com THE LEVELS OF REIKI TRAINING Traditionally there are three levels: level one: used for self treatments or in working on others. level two: used for distant healing. level three: used for teaching. Also known as Mastership. The attunements raise an individual’s energy to a level where certain effects become possible. This expansion of energy cannot be reduced. The amount of time you put into using Reiki will also increase your capacity to channel this energy. Once this energy is a part of you, it also cannot be withdrawn or limited. The Second and Third Degree attunements open the individual to the Universal Life Energy further. The flow of energy can also be further enhanced with the Second Degree symbols ________________________________ THE ATTUNEMENT Through research I have found that a Reiki attunement was initially called an initiation. The process of passing the attunement from a Master to a Student opens the student to the Reiki energy, thus initiating them to the energy flow. It is important for the attunement to take place in order for the ability to use Reiki to be passed on. Just reading about techniques or a non-master going through the motions does not open one to the energy. Once you receive an attunement, you always have it. However, feel free to have more than one attunement for your current level. Some think it will refine and strengthen your Reiki energy. Some just like the feel of energy. During a Reiki attunement, the Reiki master will place their hands on the students head, shoulders and hands while using breathing techniques. Some students may feel warmth in the Masters hands, others may see colors or have visions. Most simply feel relaxed. Please note that branches that did not come through Mrs. Takata use a different system and this system works as well. REACTIONS TO AN ATTUNEMENT There are a wide range of reactions to attunements. This is an overview of the most common reactions when receiving an attunement. Some people feel absolutely nothing. This does not mean nothing is happening, it just means that the person is not sensitive to the energy around them. Most people feel heat or a tingling sensation in the hands placed on them while the attunement is in progress. And a few people have visions while receiving the attunement. It’s important to keep in mind that we all have different experiences and all these experiences are okay. If you have an experience that you are concerned about, either share it in class or speak to me privately. 21 DAY CLEANSING PERIOD After you receive your attunement, you may go through a 21 day cleansing period where you will be more sensitive to the flow of energy than any other time of your life. What that means is that you will most likely be able to feel the Reiki energy a lot. It is important to keep tabs on events that happen in your life during this time frame. Usually we go through some major shifts in our lives -- perceptions and attitudes but we may also experience some physical ailments such as headaches or nausea. Also, since your body is cleansing itself, you may be thirsty. Please drink plenty of water. Remember that each experience will be different and unique as all people are unique. Go with the flow. ASK FIRST It is not your purpose to impose healing energy on someone who does not want it. Ask first. Sometimes you may put your hands on a loved one and the energy begins flowing through you without any intentions on your part. When following this guideline, that does not mean you immediately remove your hands for fear of transferring energy. This can happen naturally between two people who are close. If you are that close, some discussion has probably already taken place about the exchange of energies between the two of you. Likewise, if someone is unconscious or unable to communicate, this does not mean you can not offer Reiki to them. What this guideline means is that if someone has expressed an explicit no to receiving Reiki energy, you need to respect their wishes. It doesn’t matter why they have said no; it doesn’t matter that you think it will benefit them. No means no, and you must respect that. If I am unable to physically ask a person if they wish to have Reiki, before I send any energy I say: I offer this Reiki energy to ___ to be received or rejected as they see fit. If they choose to reject this energy I ask that it go to someone who can use it ... for the highest good of all. PERSPECTIVE Keep it in Perspective! You are only a channel. The energy will go where it most needs to go, regardless of where you think it should or shouldn’t go. Also, if you focus on “nothing happening,” then it may be that you have expectations as to what should be happening. What you think may be the urgent matter, may only be minor. What you think may be the urgent matter, may only be the result of something that is more urgent and may take longer for the person to work through. Reiki always works, but it does not always work in the way we think it will. INTUITION Use your Intuition. FollowYour Impressions. In this course, I am providing you guidelines to help you on your path based on my research and my experience. Starting off, it is good to follow the guidelines I set because it will help you gain experience and comfort in the work that you do. However, I will not be by your side every step of the way and, through the time you dedicate to using Reiki, you may have impressions to do something different. As long as you are not trying to control the outcome, it is important to follow your intuition and impressions because they alone will guide you in the best possible way to help the individual’s body heal themselves. HEAL IT FROM THE SOURCE When you only focus on healing the physical manifestation, the injury will return again and again. However, if you (or your client) look at where the injury stems from and fix that, then the ailment will have a better chance of disappearing all together. It is not possible to cure every type of health disorder with Reiki. We do not control how Reiki will help an individual so we cannot claim to heal anyone. Sometimes an individual’s ailment disappears, and other times it appears to get worse. Sometimes Reiki will help the individual cope with an illness they have. The effects vary and since we do not control the results, we have no way of knowing when it will eliminate a disorder. ENERGY I was taught in my class that you would only open to the amount of energy you are ready for. I believe this came about because many masters started attuning people to level one, two and three in one weekend. Doing things this way can be very demanding on a person energetically and physically. In the past, I believe a master was able to tell when you were ready for a new level and they would pass you on to it at that appropriate time. The way our society passes attunements, you may become overwhelmed by the class and the amount of energy moving around there. When it is stated that you will only open to the amount of energy you are ready for, I believe that what is meant is that you will only be using the amount of energy flow that is beneficial for you and your clients at any particular moment RELEASE THE NEED TO - Understand how the Reiki energy works. - Control the results of the Reiki session. - Judge others in how they live their life or do their energy work. - Judge yourself against someone else’s value system. WHAT TO TREAT WITH REIKI Humans, animals, plants and individual situations can be treated with Reiki. It can be used on a physical, mental or emotional imbalances. While some people may experience miraculous healings from an illness, this can not be guaranteed to any person as the practioner does not control where the energy goes or what it helps. Most people experience relaxation which often results in the reduction of physical, psychological, or emotional stress. It is safe to treat pregnant woman and babies. It is important to remember that Reiki works in conjunction with regular medicine. In fact, if one has a physical ailment, it is recommended that he see a licensed healthcare professional in addition to the Reiki treatments. SELF TREATMENT Through my research I have learned that before someone was able to work on another, they first had to work on healing themselves. Although I have been taught that you can use Reiki on yourself, it has not been emphasized enough in the benefits to yourself. Other Reiki Denominations Available Karuna Ki --- Kundalini ---- Sacred Moon Kundalini Reiki was brought to this earthly plane by Mr. Ole Gabrielsen. Mr. Gabrielsen is a Master of Meditation. Kundalini Reiki is a direct result of Mr. Gabrielsen many hours of Holy Communion with Master Kuthumi. Master Kuthumi is the Chohan of the Second Ray and is also known as Koot Hoomi and K.H. and is connected to the Crown Chakra and The Temple of Love, Wisdom and Understanding. Master Kuthumi comes to those who seek world knowledge in this time of change and to use that accumulated knowledge for the good of all. This Masters Energies are being directed to heal the physical body and mind and to overcome the tendency towards intellectual arrogance. His expressed goal of Kundalini Activation leading to expanding states of Universal Consciousness, Peace, Light and Love is not a future promise but one of immediate Possibility. Kundalini Reiki is a great Blessing and we are very Grateful to Mr. Gabrielsen and Master Kuthumi for this wonderful gift. Kundalini Reiki is a very straight forward healing technique, which does not require intensive study or the use of complex procedures. A series of three attunements are given in order to open and strengthen the energy channels of your body, enabling the healing waves of Reiki energy to flow through you and cleanse your body from energy blockages. After receiving your first attunement you can begin using the healing energy immediately, and once further attunements are completed, your ability to channel will be considerably strengthened. Kundalini is a Sanskrit word for the powerful creative force in the human body, which lies dormant in most people at the base of their spine. It refers to the state in which certain healing channels and chakras have been opened, thereby gaining access to the Earth’s energy. The Base chakra, an energy centre located near the coccyx, serves as the entrance for the Kundalini energy (also known as the ‘Kundalini Fire’). Upon entering the body, the energy runs along the main energy channel, before exiting through the Crown chakra. With an open Kundalini, a complete cleansing of the chakras, energy channels and body parts will be obtained over a period of time. Although similar to the traditional Usui and Usui-based systems of Reiki in that it is a powerful tool for energetic healing, Kundalini Reiki has the advantage of reaching far beyond the traditional Reiki systems. In having your Kundalini awakened safely and instantaneously in this manner, your Reiki channeling capabilities will be greatly improved. Furthermore, this combination of Kundalini and Reiki energy works in synergy to promote spiritual healing and spiritual evolution towards enlightenment ___________________________ Kundalini Reiki is a very safe and gentle way to awaken Kundalini energy. As the main energy channel running from the Base chakra to the Crown chakra is opened completely, this prevents any build-up of pressure since the Kundalini energy is simply released through the Crown chakra. A person who currently has, or has had problems in the past with wrong Kundalini awakening, or other problems with the Kundalini energy, can often be helped with Kundalini Reiki. Kundalini Reiki 1 – During the first attunement the healing channels are opened to enable channelling of Reiki energy. At the same time, the body is prepared for the Kundalini awakening in Kundalini Reiki 2. The Crown, Heart and Hand chakras are all opened and then strengthened, thereby allowing healing of the attuned and of clients. You will learn how to perform a complete healing treatment and to heal remotely from a distance. Kundalini Reiki 2 – At this level, a Kundalini awakening takes place. The channels are strengthened and the main energy channel is opened safely. As a result, the ‘Kundalini Fire’ can now travel via the Base chakra to the Solar Plexus chakra, preparing the way for a full Kundalini awakening in the next level. You will learn a meditation, which will increase the power of the flame in the ‘Kundalini Fire’. This is of great benefit, as all the chakras/energy systems light up and cleansing occurs. Kundalini Reiki 3 (Kundalini Reiki Master) – The Throat, Solar Plexus, Sacral and Base chakras are opened and strengthened further. The ‘Kundalini Fire’ is also strengthened and flows up and out of the Crown chakra, and a full rising of the Kundalini takes place. You will learn how to attune others, as well as objects such as crystals, so that they can be used as Reiki channels. Kuruna Ki Karuna Ki is a generic name that refers to a growing number of practices using the reiki energy with the Karuna symbols. The following practices and descriptions are one possible manifestation. There are many others that have developed. This art and manual were developed by Vinny Amador, from practices with Karuna and the Karuna Symbols. It could be said that any Reiki is Karuna in that in doing Reiki we are trying to alleviate the sufering of all sentient beings. Karuna Ki is a focused way of practicing this. Karuna Ki is the Way of Compassionate Energy. Karuna Ki is a Healing and Meditative practice using the Karuna Ki energy and symbols to be the Divine Heart of Compassion. The History of Karuna Ki tries to be balanced in its understanding of how the Karuna arts came to be, and tries to give due credit to those who invested time and effort in its development. Karuna Ki represents my development and practice with the Karuna, the symbols, Karuna Ki Do meditations and other practices. This versioni of Karuna Ki shares the symbols and early development with Karuna ReikiÒ, and Tera MaiÔ Reiki. This version of Karuna Ki has new attunements and specially developed Karuna Ki Do meditations. This is a new development apart from either Karuna ReikiÒ and Tera MaiÔ Reiki. The basic principle of Karuna Ki is the connection to (and becoming) the embodiment of compassion both for healing self and others, and to send healing and compassion to all creation. The attunement and subsequent meditations link us to the compassion of God (which we all already are and have!), and it is through this power that we heal. During the healing we strive to reflect compassion and love not only to those we heal, but to all creation. For those uncomfortable with the use of "God", this principle is reflected wonderfully in the Buddhist Goddess of Compassion, Kuan Yin (Kannon in Japanese). This is a "heart centered compassion" and a heart centered healing. It is sharing in the compassion of God, or the compassion of Kuan Yin for all the universe. It is only in this perfect love that one is truly healed. The Five Reiki Principles JUST FOR TODAY Just for today, I will give thanks for my many blessings. Just for today, I will not worry. Just for today, I will not be angry. Just for today, I will do my work honestly. Just for today, I will be kind to my neighbor and every living thing. A one day course for each of the attunements, along with a minimum time scale of at least one month between attuning. No upper time limits. Your course comes complete with certified qualification & your lineage. |
