REIKI

[Anonymous]

I am trying to learn more about Reiki. I'd love to hear from all of you who have tried it or know someone who has. What is it used to treat? Does it work? How about having reiki done to you via long distance (is this really possible)?
I'm full of questions and would love to hear from all of you.
Thanks

I will try
I am reikimaster and practioner, Reiki is universal energy, also called, chi, ki or prana,.. the breath of life
everything that lives has ki flowing through it, reiki is universal energy as I said, when a practioner starts giving reiki to someone, all he or she had to do is put his/her hands on that person, the energy will start to flow, it enters throug the crownchakra of the practioner and flows to the other person through the hands,

The energy flows to that spot in the body that needs it most, this is not in the hands of the pracioner the energy knows where to go, just like water flows to the sea

I always say, Reiki is not against death but it is fÛr life. It doesn't cure anything, although sometimes small miracles happen, what it does is supply extra healing energy so the body can heal itself,
It will enlarge the selfhealing power of the body

the people that come in to get Reiki from me have various problems, fybromyalgie, reuma, whiplash, fatigue, anything fysical is possible, but also emotional problems can heal with reiki

Reiki doesnt just work for the "client"but it also works for the practioner, I always feel great after giving reiki to others,and reiki initiation can alter your life,it can give you courage to make dicisions you have been thinking of for years, it can give insight, it can teach you to really love and respect yourself and others

distance reiki works very well, even though I am over here in holland I could still send reiki to you and it would work as if i was standing right next to you,

I hope this answers some of your questions
love and light

That is so interesting, CR. So, if I occasionally suffer from anxiety/depression, reiki may help me?
Also, something that just entered my mind.....
is it possible that bad/negative energy could be transfered from a practicioner to a client or the reverse?
Thanks for the info!

[crystal rainbow]

usually that doesn t happen, what i do get when I am tired and not well grounded,is that I can feel headache coming up or some dissiness, that is why one has to ground very well before giving reiki

when working with reiki you are not working with your own energy,so normally a practioner shouldn t give anything to a client that belongs to himself, nor the other way around

reiki will not cure all of your dis-eases, but it can very well support your healing processes

love CR

Dear Crystal rainbow~How would you receive Reiki long distance, I mean HOW is this done? Do you do this via telephone or I guess, how do you connect. Do you just do this during your day and it would be received at that time whenever it is being performed? I'm not trying to be funny about the telephone, I'm just saying to do talk on the phone to establish a "connection" and then set a time to do the reiki. Thanks

Sending Reiki can be done by someone who has been Reiki II initiated, Reiki II has a couple of Reiki symbols, one of them is the distance symbol, to send Reiki I draw it in the air with my hands and say the mantra of the symbol
I say the name of the receiver and the reason for sending reiki and the energy will start to flow, energy knows no time nor distance, it is much like it is with telapathy,or the way spiritual beings can be at the same place at the same time, time simply is no concept

It is advised that the receiver doesn t drive a car or work with machinery, but sits down during the "session" so I do tell them that they will receive at a certain time, it is possible though for me to send reiki at three and ask for the reiki to arrive at an other hour,
what I usually do is aks for the Reiki to arrive at the "best possible time for the receicer"
and also to work for "the highest cause"

the phone question isn t that strange, sometimes I do connect with people over the phone, but usually there is no need for that

Diane Stein has written a good book about Reiki, I d have to look up the title in english, there are more good books written bij Frank arjava petter (dutch) I don t know if it has been translated in english yet,..

I hope that answers your questions
love and light CR

thanks! That does answer my question. I find it very fascinating and appreciate you explaining it to me. This is something that I am very unfamilure with. I will have to research and learn more about it.

Hi CR [:X]

I'm curious to know (if you know) - is Reiki a common practise in Holland now, do you yourself know several other Reiki practitioners, or is it something that is just starting to become accepted? Are Reiki practitioners welcomed to go into hospitals, or senior citizens facilities, etc. to tend to patients/residents? Also, you are a Crystal practitioner - how welcome is that art to the general public?
[:)]

hi CW

Reiki is quite common in the netherlands, there are many many practioners,my husbans is a Reiki I, my ten year old son is a ReikiI, is counselor is a Reikimaster, my mum is a Reiki I[:)]
I also know many practioners and masters, and even more people that have the initations for "home-use"

in hospitals it still is tricky though in some mental institutions it is allowed because the effect on mentally ill patients is already proven to be wonderfull, also on mentally handicapped and autitistic persons

I am in the board of a reikisociety, we aim to bring reiki to everyone, so keep the prices low, and also try to get reiki into healthinsurances, to give healers as wel as clients some protection,etc

crystal healing is quite accepted, ofcourse there are always people that laugh at anything that is what they call "supernatural" but usually people are very interested in my stones and the things I do with them. Most people here say, well even if it doesn t cureyou it wont kill you either. People come in for Reiki but when I ask them if they mind me using the crystal as well they are very interested and think it is allright
once they have experienced it they are enthousiastic

I think that most people here have heard of reiki and tens of thousands already are initated.

love and light CR

stargazer,

i am both usui and karuna reiki master. i teach all levels of both.

reiki is
THE SECRET ART OF INVITING HAPPINESS
and
THE MIRACULOUS MEDICINE FOR ALL DISEASE

i came to reiki through my own life threatening illness which i fully and miraculously recovered from

i see small and large miracles occur on a regular basis.

while there is no guarantee that a disease will be healed i always ask for miracles and therfore i frequently experience them.

Reiki heals on all levels: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.

Reiki is my daily spiritual discipline and my first response to any kind of dis'ease'

Reiki is complimentary to all forms of health care and is beneficial in all circumstances.

Most people who have illness are best served by a variety of health care responses and Reiki will support any and all modalities.

The scope of Reiki power is huge.

please do continue your investigation and may you be willing to receive the fullest benefit possible for you.

love and dark,
little dove

REIKI is a Japanese word symbolizing the relationship between Universal Life Energy, <b>REI</b> and our own personal life force, <b>KI</b>, and is one of the ancient healing mysteries of the world. It is a natural healing art re-discovered in the 1800's by Dr. Mikao Usui. Dr. Usui responded to a challenge from his students to undertake an extensive study of the healing phenomena of the greatest spiritual leaders in history. Dr. Usui spent the rest of his life practicing as well as teaching this great healing art, which involves attunement to Universal Life Energy and the laying on of hands.

When brought to a focused and conscious awareness, Reiki accelerates mental and physical healing and also spiritual growth. It adds to the body's natural ability to heal itself from it's physical ailments and to release the cause of dis-ease.

It is a vibrational healing energy science, the dynamics of which are totally in alignment with the basics of quantum physics. With its resurgence in the Western World it is fast becoming recognized as a safe and complimentary therapy to all other forms of health care.

Treatment usually lasts about an hour. The client may remain fully clothed and no manipulation is required. The Reiki practitioner simply places hands gently and passively on different locations of the body, usually starting at the head.

The patient can experience common sensations as warmth, or heat flowing from the hands of the practitioner. The mind calms, the breathing slows down and a better sense of perspective and wellbeing emerges. The non intrusive method accelerates the body's ability to heal itself by balancing your energy and helps fill you with the need to be in balance and harmony with Universal Life Force.

A one hour treatment is generally the equivalent of four hours of restful sleep and is a great way to relieve stress and reduce tension that contributes to dis-ease.

The spiritual precepts of Reiki are:
<i>Just for today, I will let go of anger
Just for today, I will let go of worry
I honor my parents, teachers & elders
I earn my living honestly
I show gratitude to all living things</i>

A student of Reiki must undergo three levels of training and attunement, Levels I, II and III, including receiving and memorizing certain (magical) symbols, before achieving the status of Reiki Master.

I have found that the benefits of Reiki are emphasized and magnified through the use of Crystal Therapy treatments, as are Jo-Rei (which is even older than Reiki), Polarity Healing and other Vibrational healing methods.

The Reiki practitioner must maintain a state of balance and of being grounded during treatments, otherwise the practitioner is at risk of bladder and urinary tract infections, kidney & gall stones, and kidney infections. Here again, the use of crystals in conjunction with Reiki treatments can help to protect the practitioner against these ailments.

Thank you all for the wonderful info posted so far. I want to receive REIKI, but I don't know anyone in my area (South Florida) who is reputable and whom I can trust. My mother-in-law told me that she has a friend who is a REIKI master, and she will be putting me in contact with this person. This person lives in Maine, so if I choose to receive REIKI from her, it will be long distance. I know that so far everyone here has said that distance is not a problem, but is it better if I am in front of the REIKI practicioner for the laying on of hands?
Also, is it expensive to receive REIKI? What is the average price for a session?

[Little White Dove]

Distance Reiki can be as or more beneficial than hands on Reiki.

Distance allows a level of consentration and detachment that hands on does not. However, in this society, where safe touch is at a premium. The value of hands on is that of loving touch. If you do not receive loving touch from a loving partner or friend then I would say do ask the universe to send you a trustworthy and experienced Reiki master. I further sugest that you request one who has been attuned to both Usui and Karuna Reiki. The mastery of the the practitioner will most likely be more advanced.
