Open the pathway by attunement

Let me give you a simple explanation about attunement. When Usui sensei realized the Reiki Ryoho along with his spiritual awakening, after twenty one days of fast on Mt. Kurama in Kyoto, he reached a thought that “This power should not be monopolized in a single family, I must spread it to other people.” The results of his research of numerous literatures and study, he completed the techniques such as to receive energy called Reiju and to accelerate the Reiki flow called Hatsurei-ho. He establish ‘Usui Reiki Ryoho Society’ and performed Sho-den(the entrance) energy giving and gave the healing ability to anyone who wished. The very first place Reiju was performed was Harajuku in Tokyo, then it went over to the United States and transformed into attunement. While attunement , according to dictionaries, is used as “tuning into the same wavelengths of radio”, it is used to express receiving energy which is to tune into the energy in the higher dimension. “Attune” also means used as “tunin...

What to learn and obtain from each steps

Doi sensei wrote: Let us sort out the features of each step from the point of view of what you can learn and obtain. First of all, what you need to understand about Reiki-ho is to make it simple . There are many things contained in the first step for correct understanding, as it is for those who will learn about Reiki-ho for the first time. However the higher levels you take , the simpler what you learn will get. It is because it is unnecessary to master every technique. The basic teachings to learn about are just a few. The rest is for you to apply, so that you can choose only techniques you wish to use from your experience. In Level 1 , you open the pathway of Reiki through four attunements and you learn the techniques such as healing mind and body as well as purifying energy. Next in Level 2 , you learn the higher level techniques such as healing beyond time and space, power concentration and regaining mental balance by raising the quality and power of Reiki and using symbols and ma...

Level 3 (Shinpiden) Reaching a higher level of vibration

As students practice to purify their mind and body in level 2, now it’s the time for them to take a higher learning in Reiki-ho. Level 3 or called Shinpiden offer a deeper learning into the spiritual dimension of Reiki-ho. Three attunements will be given along with “the fourth symbol and mantra” . The fourth symbol, called Usui symbol or Master symbol , is at the highest of Reiki-ho and considered very sacred oveseas. Those attunements change the way the energy flow, finer and denser. Some people even start feeling some kind of sweetness and peace of mind.  At this level, you will not consider Reiki just as a technique but you hope to become connected and resonate with the consciousness in the higher dimension. The wave of guidance for spiritual growth will raise your spirit through your daily life at all times. In this level, the healing ability and self-cleansing ability with Reiki progress remarkably. You learn and practice in as follows 1.  The meaning and usage of the fourth sy...

Level 2 (Oku-den), Enhancing Reiki Power

As a student’s Reiki channel being opened in shoden level, he/she already become a clear path of Reiki. Furthermore, he/she must undertake certain trainings or exercises strengthening the flow of Reiki. It could take years before a student reach a desirable energy level and spiritual awareness. In helping the students use Reiki in their daily life and progress quickly , Sensei Usui created symbols and mantras system. Each symbols and mantras conveys certain life principles which will soon being understood when communicated through Reiki as medium and being practice daily. Oku-den level gives three attunements , each attunement perform for each symbol and mantra. So, there are three symbols and three mantras being communicated to the students through attunements process. (note: symbols are shapes and letters, mantra< kotodama > are voices and sounds.) After the Oku-den attunement , the quality of Reiki energy improves and the healing power gets twice as strong. In addi...

Structure of Reiki-ho

Moreover, Sensei Hiroshi Doi said that traditional Reiki-ho normally consisted of 3 parts, Sho-den (entry level), Oku-den( inside training), and Shinpi-den(mystery). However, at present time, Reiki-ho is divided into 3 parts, Sho-den, Oku-den, Shinpi-den, and Gokuika-den( master training). Let’s take a look of “the features of each levels” and “the contents to learn”. Level 1 Opening Reiki Channel This level is aiming to open the Reiki channel within the student. In order to do this, not one attunement but four attunements are performed. This is to ensure Reiki energy flow smoothly and successfully. So  what is attunement? As the word itself indicated, it means to match the wavelength . The attunement process is matching the brain wavelength of the student with Reiki. By such process the student connect to Reiki energy and become a pathway for it, the student will be able to contact Reiki in an instant whenever necessary.  What is next after attunement? Event though, the stu...

Characteristics of Reiki-ho- part 2

Continue from last post No bad energy gets carried- As Reiki is a clear light, neither does it carry negative energy nor receive bad energy. As long as the pathway of Reiki is clear, no need to worry about it. Place your mind in the whole of the body and maintain your spirit in high level to prevent tuning to low wave energy. Effective regardless of belief- No matter what religion or ideology you believe, and whether or not you believe it, Reiki will remain efficient. As it is effective on unconscious patients, pets or plants, it does not matter whether or not you believe it. However, people have the right to reject it. You should not force it on anyone, as the energy will not flow in the person who reject it. Effective on any creature – Reiki healing is effective on all creatures, humans, animals and plants, and it can be used to purify the energy of substances such as minerals or place. Reiki is effective ...

Characteristics of Reiki-ho- part I

Doi Sensei wrote: Let me introduce the characteristics of Reiki-ho. Whilst many other individuals and groups taking part in spreading Reiki-ho have already sorted them out. I put them together into eleven points as follows: I have added some explanations necessary to prevent misunderstanding from superficial interpretation. 1. No Training necessary – Anybody can perform healing from the moment the pathway of Reiki is opened by attunement. Though training to obtain the healing ability is not necessary, it is necessary that you continue to purify yourself and develop your spirituality to improve the healing ability and become a clear pathway of Reiki energy. 2. The ability is never lost- You will never lose the ability once the pathway of Reiki is opened even if it never gets used again. As the ability you obtain from attunement is basic and the first step, improving it depends on each person's cultivation of the mind. In other words, your ability stays at the beginning level if you...

Universal Energy exists everywhere

  Let us think about the influence of Universal energy on us. There are countless stars twinkling in the sky as far as the eye can reach. These stars are only a part of the vast universe and are called the solar system. It is considered that about 100 billion of those as big as the solar system exist in the galactic system and about 100 billions of those as big as the galactic system exist in the universe. The “Big Bang”, considered the beginning of the universe, was worked on by Universal energy. Universal energy created the sun, the moon and the earth, and created the ocean on the earth and bred the creatures from there and evolved mankind. Universal energy exists even in the weeds as well as in single grain as life energy. Human life exists also as a part of Mother Nature(the universe). The Universe is filled with these energies in the form of wave. Modern science revealed that “all existence is wave and every existence has the different frequency or vibrations and share the same...

What is the wave of love?

Doi sensei wrote: What exactly is the wave of love? The interpretation of love varies but I define it as the following. “It is the life energy emanating from the higher consciousness and spreading outwards in all directions equally.” We feel the sun just as substance, but we should realize that the healing energy is constantly radiated from the spirituality of the sun. The wave of affection is similar to the wave of love, but since it contains a person’s emotion it is energy towards a certain direction. If it is sublimated to the energy spreading to all  directions by extending your consciousness, it will turn to the wave of love Comment: After reading this passage, i began to think that Japanese religion, Shinto, is not a religion in which western people see as sun worshipping religion. More than that, it tells us about the origin of energy on earth that sustain and nurturing all creatures. Perhaps the sun is not the creator of the universe, but we owe our existence to it. So it ...

Universal Energy is the wave of Love

Now, the word Universal energy is used in various ways. Some people claim that they found unknown energy and call it “XX” energy” and some call its power “XX power”. Some people are trying to “use it as the energy for the future”, some are trying to “use it for self subliming or for materializing their dreams” and so on. However its substance is not always clarified and sometimes it indicates the same thing and sometimes does not. How to distinguish whether it is “the wave of love” which harmonizes each and every thing? I define Reiki, which is Universal energy, as follows. “The power which gave birth to the great universe, created the solar system and the all lives on the earth, as well as maintaining them in good order, it is also the energy source of every phenomenon in the universe. “Also I understand that this is the energy of fine wave(the wave of love) which is being radiated into universe by the highest consciousness in the universe-“existence in higher dimension” for the...

A way to make active use of the Universal Energy

Doi sensei wrote: “Reiki-ho” is a technique to  heal everything you see, come across or touch by being a passage of “Reiki-Universal energy asa well as the wave of love”. Being a passage means to receive the wave of love by uniting yourself with the consciousness and the rhythm of the universe and to purify yourself to transmit it as it is. The essence  of Reiki-ho is receiving energy from a master(teacher) which enables you to connect with Reiki in an instant anywhere and anytime necessary to perform healing. The ability to receive energy is given to each person, called attunement, following a standardized method which is to make you a pathway for the Universal energy and to resonate you as little universe within the great universe. Comment : This statement often neglected by Reiki practitioners “uniting yourself with the consciousness and the rhythm of the universe” is everything Reiki about. All diseases are caused by our tendency to desynchronize with Universe conscious...

Reiki is a universal energy

Doi Sensei wrote:   Usui Sensei said "each and every thing that exists in the universe posseses Reiki" name "Universal energy which is the essence of all existence" as "Reiki". It is also "the wave of love" as well as a pure "light" coming out from "the higher dimension". The great universe (mother nature) revolves and circulates with no stagnation. We humans are called " a litthle universe" as being part of Mother Nature and live resonating with the wave of the great universe. What connects "the great universe" and ourselves as "a little universe" is "the wave of love" called  "Universal Energy". "Universal energy" exists in every thing and it is "the life energy" inside the human body which gives us a natural healing ability an the power to live through our lives with strength. "The life energy" is called with a variety of names such as aura,...

What is Reiki-ho ?

The “Reiki-ho” I introduce in this book started from healing method using the power of hands, the same as “Hands-on healing”, which has existed from ancient times. However it differs from other similar healing methods in the respect that hard training is not necessary and anyone can perform the healing(healing technique)by easily following the original system. Furthermore a distinctive feature is that it will be useful in creating your own life by becoming skilful in the use of Universal energy through the practice of healing. Reiki-ho was originally established as the “Usui Reiki Ryoho” by Mikao Usui (1865 – 1926) about 80 years ago as “The way to make mind and body healthy on the basis on Universal Reiki”. Usui Reiki Ryoho was wide spread in the country as a very effective “Hands-on healing” and it was adopted by many people especially in the navy on account of the support of rear admirals Ushida and Taketomi. Reiki Ryoho was brought over to the United States after Usui sensei’s deat...

Part I. Reiki and Reiki-ho

Doi sensei wrote: "Hands-on healing" is a natural healing method that has existed since ancient times. From ancient times, both in the Orient and the Occident, people have been aware of the mysterious energy radiated from "the palm of the hand". When people have a stocmach-ache or headache. Everyone puts their hands on the affected area. Also for an injury or contusion, we also put our hands on the hurting area by reflex action. This action is not conscious but instinctive. It has been realized that pain will be removed quickly by putting the hands on the area through experiences.  Also, it has been found that there is a difference in effectiveness between people who put hands on. Cetain people possess much more healing power than others. This instinctive action was named "Hands on healing" and some training systems were developed to improve the ability to heal.  It is recorded in various literature that the Buddha and Christ healed sick people by putting ...

Discusion on Iyashino Gendai Reiki-ho: Introduction 3#

How do you Guide and Teach Them? I will try to explain the answers to these questions through my experience hoping to be understood by everybody. Also the technique for self cleansing and self growth will be taught in this book. Before I stated the five characteristics of Reiki-ho, but those are only part of the story, The real quality of Reiki-ho is not that easy. If you understood all those, you may limit your Reiki-ho to that much of the teaching without making any effort to learn more, or Reiki-ho could be taken as a technique to develop and satisfy an egotistic purpose and make you arrogant and proud. This kind of attitude is far from the true use of Reiki-ho. There’s no need to say that. The essence of Reiki-ho is not only limited to developing the healing ability, it should also be used for self cleansing, self-growth and self empowerment, we complete the “necessary study” through our daily life in. Part 1. “This is Reiki-ho” is useful for the people who have already learned Rei...

Discusion on Iyashino Gendai Reiki-ho: Introduction 2#

Significance of Reiki-ho’s Return to Japan. Recently the number of people who are interested in Reiki-ho has increased and is spreading rapidly, many publishers are publishing Reiki books, and special articles of Reiki-ho are published in the spiritual magazine. Some have ever revealed the master symbols which was secret in Japan for a long time. At last the seal was opened. The phenomena were happening. I understand that the time may not be ripe for these phenomena, but we need this Reiki-ho for Japan now. To create a peaceful and rich society , do not be misguided by the idea of end of the century prophecies; seek for joy and happiness now. I believe that we shoul constantly make the effort to aim for a higher self, and take responsibility for our own life. The environment surrounding us is filled with stress and excess tension harming mind and body. There is no room for people to give compassion for others when people themselves are in pain. We first, must release ourselves from unn...

Love yourself first

There are a lot of things to learn about,well... you can't say that you are growing if you always do the things that you already know and expert in it...right?? I mean, we can have a good result if we do things which become our own expertise, but we don't learn a lot from it compare when we do it for the first time. Sometimes, we need do things that is not our own expertise.though we may not be able to do it better than those who have expertise in that field. However, our brain are stimulated and we will have a new perspective in seeing things. Off course doing things differently will need changes in perspective, automatically enriched our way of thinking. If you are a business manager, doesn't cost you too much when you learn how to dance, or writing a poem. Its seems silly for the first time, but when we do it, we learn how to see life from other perspectives, and somehow when we back to our life, we have changed in our way of thinking and wiser...  

Why do we exist

Why do we exist? it was a question that haunted me for so many years. Since i was teenager, i was bother with this question. My friend always said that live the life while you are still young, and don't bother with such question,coz you're not gonna live young twice. Well, if your life is always in a good condition, i mean really reallly good, with lot of money and lot of friends to be happy perhaps you won't asking such questions coz always being occupied with such pleasure. I don't say that my life wasn't good enough, during my teenage life, i always went with my friends, went after pretty girls, :P. However, there are no parties that never ends, i felt why those good things always end so fast and end up with bored feeling, everything means nothing. Those pretty girls were not so pretty anymore after quite sometimes, and those cheerfull friends were gone. There was all me, and nothing else there. Then with boring minds and scrambled emotions, i saw nothingness in ...

Two faces of compassion

Generally speaking, people always think about compassion word as a feeling full of generousity, kindness, altruism, or in the other word is being helpfull to others in any means. Often i discovered that those who have a lot of compassion in their heart are seeing as weak and soft, easily being harm by others. They always give others people what others want, can't deny people's request. However, two days ago during my day dreaming, wew, its too hot during that day, i was thinking if compassion cause weakness, why people seeing many great people for example Gandhi, Jesus, etc. are those who have a lot of compassion in their heart. It was so confusing. Then, after an hour struggling with questions about compassion, then i realized that perhaps compassion itself have many faces, forms, ors aspects - perhaps it was only a matter of perspectives- perhaps compassion is only a form of thought, feelings or motivation in which have many forms when being executed. In a soft form, compassi...

Perfection

When watching TV, yesterday, i was interested about the martial's art film discussion. In that program many famous people were interviewed, such as Bruce Lee, Jacky Chan, Cho Yun Fat, and many more. Yeah, they are martial art's movie star, in fact they did the martial art's training from many different masters. Things that interested me was, Bruce lee's interviewed about martial arts and some of his famous movie's ,Enter the Dragon, snapshot. He was asked, what martial art is, then he answered that to him martial art is an honest expression of soul mind and body. For me, the answered showed his understanding about life not just martial arts, it was his understanding that he found his life's answer through martial arts. A way to dedicate his life and a life path to follow toward perfection. Perfection... people say that nothing is perfect in this world, for things that great must have its weakness. But to people, doing things without sense of perfection will lead...
