The Secret of Reiki Symbols

Question:
I could do with some positive energy in my life. What are the best things for that? I’m not religious but somewhat spiritual. I use simmering granules for relaxation which helps. I’m getting some Chakra stones and thinking of learning Reiki. I also have one of those happy buddah figurines.

What other ways are there to get positive energy and peace of mind?

My answer:
I was in your situation some time ago….searching for answers…not sure why I was unhappy all the time. It is important to find out if you are seeking spiritual help or if you may be depressed. While seeking spirituality has been proven to help with depression and anxiety, there can be physiological things going on that shouldn’t be ignored. If you feel hopelessness, un-relenting sadness, low energy and self esteem, please see a health professional. Now if you are just searching for meaning in your life, well, then rejoice! You are on the first steps of finding your purpose in life. Bhudda had a lot to say about the world we live in and how we can exist in harmony with it, but I agree that finding out about Jesus will give you more to chew on. Jesus gave us wisdom for the hereafter, which is, I think, why we feel dissatisfied with our lives. We know there is something more out there don’t we? But who has the answers? Jesus Christ did, as did many of the other prophets and authors of the Testaments. And do not confuse Sprituality with Religion. You can have a faith in Christ that may not fit into any church doctrine and that is a good thing while you are seeking enlightenment. I would caution you regarding some of the alternative therapies that fall under the banner of the New Age Movement. Putting your faith in crystals, mantras and other occult teachings should not be undertaken lightly - Investigate the origins of this belief system (and any others out there) before participating in it. There is plenty that will make you feel good, but there is a darker side to it that many people do not recognise as bad for them.

Personally, I started out by reading everything I could about all of the worlds religions…perhaps a religious studies course will help you find out more about what you believe in and take comfort from.

Hope this helps

Question:
What is Reiki? Is it some type of spiritual thing?

My Answer:
Reiki is a Japanese healing art. involving the use of internal or spiritual mental energy called Ki. Ki is the spirit or life force in the body and in everything. It can be directed by the mind and intent. Every religion and every nation has these healing arts. From Tibeten Monks to Hawaiian Kahunas. It is likened to a mother carressing a sick child or rubbing ones own sore spot, it it natural to want to touch it. Reiki can be administered as massage; where the body is touched and massaged in certain places and pattrerns of strokes. It can be administered without touch holding the hands above the body a few inches, while concentrating on passing pure energy to the body through the hands. It can be administered at a distance; The person imagines the person in front of them and does the healing as if they were. Since the spirit of God in which we move is infinite and everywhere a prayer made anywhere is effected in anyother place instantly as if distance did not exist.(This has proven to be the case with all Telepathec type phenomena; time and distance seem to have no effect.)

Two things disturb me about Reiki: One from a Christian standpoint and the other from an ethical point.

Reiki at the higher levels uses: Symbols (secret symbols at that) these symbols are used in a magician like manner much like casting a spell, The person uses ancient Hindu sanskrit to draw or write these secret power symbols over the patients body and they attribute the power of these tibetan spiritual power words as doing the healing.
Now I know that from a Christian view words have great power. As Jesus is the “Word” of God made flesh and that word has been given ALL POWER in heaven and earth. So words carry power spiritually.
And also the soviet union has done extensive research into devices that are energized and operated solely by the focus of a persons eyes,
tracing a pattern that seems to build up a type of energy. Like a solar panel that is charged through mental energy or a fucused mental intent. (These are not publicly broadcast researches).
But the use of “SECRET” symbols. makes me leary; especially when they are so secret thay never tell you what they are doing to you. And the method which is so close to spell binding or casting a spell used in ancient pagan ritual. I don’t know.

The second problem is the power to do this is handed down only through a great sum of cold hard cash; You have to pay someone to put their hands on you and give you an “Attunement” which sounds like a counterfeit of the Baptism of the Holy Ghost; In Christianity.
You pay the fee they put their hands on you and some spiritual thing happens to you, and now you have the “Power” Then You have to Pay other large sums of money to raise in “Levels” I think to level three.
at which point you are a master and the second and third levels you recieve your special secret power symbols.

So even as a Chrisian who has recieved the Holy Ghost and seen and felt the power of Jesus Christ in person. I have also studied about psychic phenomena and understand as I said many religions and cultures have their faith healing methods; many of which work; because they follow certain universal rules. Still the whole big money secret tibetan magic symbols thing just creeps me out.

The Usui System of natural Healing

Celestial Reiki
By Kath Ibbetson

Reiki is not a religion. Instead, those who practice 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.

This 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.

The concept of celestial reiki is the same as conventional reiki 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 is 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.

In 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 him 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.

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 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.

Reiki Question:
I have being trying to crack meditation for ages but it is very hard as I don’t know what I should be feeling. Last night I was using the computer for an hour and feeling fairly dopey when I opened an email with a Reiki grid for me to look at, within seconds I had what i used to call a nerve head ache as a child, I had a pulsating feeling on the left side of my temple which sent waves across my forehead and was very pleasant and left me feeling slightly floaty. It is very hard to describe but the nearest I can get is it is similar to the feeling in my head when I orgasm! Is this what I am supposed to feel. I remeber as a child of 5 or 6 we would sit out on the school playing field with the sun on us and easily go off into our nerve headaches. If only I can manage to do it as easily now I am an adult and no wonder people are adicted to it!

My Answer:
Peaceful. - No thoughts getting stuck in the brain, they just flow past, like clouds. Never had a headache or any other ache, by the way, you are doing something wrong. It is the total opposite of an orgasm.
Peace.

How to Prepare to Learn Reiki
By Carl U Romero

If you are reading this article then you are already well on your way to preparing to learn Reiki. The first step is to learn about it. Granted, I went into it blind, never even having experienced a treatment, but I believe it was divine intervention that drew me there. Having a solid grip on the history helps immensely because knowing how it got here helps explain some of the discrepancies you will find in the stories that are passed on by various teachers. Having a sense of non-judgment when it comes to the different schools and types of Reiki also helps when you start learning Reiki. One time I saw an old Reiki Master and the first thing I asked her was what type of Reiki she was currently teaching. She replied that if I was a Reiki snob, it was not worth taking her class. It made me think, and also made me more accepting of healing regardless of the lineage or the name it goes under.

Performing meditation for a period of time may also help you to decide if Reiki is right for you. I will outline a simple technique for you to try, because through meditation one can better heed the universe’s messages and your own intuition. The type of meditation I am describing is called anapanasati, and it is part of Tibetan Buddhist practice. I chose this form because it is simple yet effective, and because it is what I am familiar with.

Find a comfortable and quiet spot (very important). If necessary, turn off the ringer on the phone so that you will not be disturbed. Wear comfortable and non-restrictive clothing, and do not eat or drink right before you are about to meditate. You may wish to be seated, standing, lying or walking. The most common position is either seated on the floor or in a chair that has a back. Posture is important, the spine should be straight, and the shoulders relaxed. Make sure that if you have any back problems, your back is well supported and comfortable.

Once you are comfortable, the eyes should be kept half open, with the focus on a space in front of your nose. Keep the eyes relaxed and do not worry if they are unfocused. Relax your abdomen, and check your posture. Keep your head balanced on the top of your shoulders so that you are forming a straight line with your spine.

Before you begin, make a statement that describes what you hope to achieve from the meditation such as “I aspire to achieve a state of calm and relaxation during this session”. Then you simply sit and try to empty your mind of all thoughts-easier said than done I know! I try and visualize intruding thoughts as bubbles and pop them. All the while, your focus remains on the area just below and in front of your nose. Feel the rhythm of your breath. Try to build up in your mediation practice. Start with 5 minutes, and work your way up to 20 if you can. Any practice is better than no practice at all.

When you conclude the session, dedicate the merit you have gained to everyone, all sentient beings or even a specific person you feel needs the help. Finally, you should spend a few minutes reviewing what you experienced during the meditation. Think back over how you felt, and the thoughts that invaded your quiet mind. Think about feelings you may have experienced, or why certain things came to your mind. In this way you may find that you are guided or led to learn Reiki. Regardless, this type of practice is great for mind, body and soul and will not do you harm.

If you have decided that Reiki is indeed for you, the next step is to pick the Reiki course that is right for you and then get ready to open yourself to the universal energy.

Healing Touch Reiki
By Unknown

Reiki uses a healing touch to create feelings of deep relaxation and inner peace, providing the body with an ideal environment to maximize its natural healing processes and allows relief of all kinds of physical and mental distress, from a backache to the blues. Reiki supports the subject’s immune system and enhances the body’s ability to heal itself. Although many have tried rationally to explain how this healing touch Reiki actually works it still remains a mystery.

Healing touch Reiki is similar to other spiritual healing processes that involve participants lying on hands. Those who practice Reiki believe life force energy flows inside of everyone’s body and keeps them healthy. If for some reason this life force energy is depleted bad things can and do happen. The lack of this life force energy can cause emotional, mental and physical illness and distress.

Reiki is a simple, safe, and natural method that can be used for your own spiritual and self improvement as well as helping others. When Reiki is used on yourself it can help with the revitalization of your mind and body. Stress vanishes and so do many body pains and aches. Self healing touch Reiki techniques require the practitioner to keep their hands on particular spontaneous parts of your own body and let the energy flow through the hands to heal their own body.

When you practice your healing touch Reiki on another person you will be surprised at the spontaneous activation that occurs, you can feel your hands get warm as the energy passes through your hands into the other person. No one knows exactly why but the warmth does occur and wonderful things begin to happen. Learning the proper Reiki technique does not require years of practice, and can be learned by anyone who is motivated in a few short training sessions.

The healing touch of Reiki can provide relief from emotional and physical pains such as back ache, arthritic pain and is helpful in relieving the pains associated with pregnancy and giving birth.

Pains and depression associated with chemotherapy and radiation therapy used to fight against cancer can be relieved by the use of Reiki. Chronic pain, lack of energy, and grief also respond very well to this treatment.

In the modern world we live in and with all the advancements of modern medicine the techniques used when practicing Reiki might seem like quackery, however, about fifty percent of the practitioners are certified medical practitioners. Why is that? Simply because of the positive results.

Reiki can provide you with miraculous results after the healing touch treatment. The results help improve and calm your body, your emotions, your mind and your spiritual feelings. Out of all this comes what most people are looking for in this complex and fast moving world, the beneficial effects of the feelings associated with this enhanced relaxation, peace and security. The greatest thing about the healing touch of Reiki is that it cannot harm you; it can only improve your situation.

Reiki Question:
I have a second level qualification for reiki and was wondering if i should practice reiki on my baby which i am expecting in 3 weeks?

My Answer:
Babies love Reiki. I performed Reiki on a friend when she was 8 months pregnant and anywhere on her belly that I placed my hands, the baby followed them. It was very cool.

As for the gentleman who said that science cannot measure the human energy field…what do you think EKG’s and EEG’s measure? The body puts out tremendous amounts of energy that can be measured. In fact, there was a study done where the energy put out from the heart area can be measured up to 15 feet away.

Maybe people should have an open mind and do some research into an area before they decide to answer these types of questions.
