What is Reiki

Reiki is not a Religion - It is Universal Life Energy for "All"

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.

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.


A full Reiki Therapy Treatment Takes Approx 45 - 60 mins

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.

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.
