Hara point secret

Most of the meditation techniques known to us including Reiki, put emphasize on how important Hara or Tantien point is. Though it is an important teaching, but it is also neglected by us. Yes, because everyone always talk about it, and it is so simple, we often neglected something that simple, don't we? But, it is unfortunately is the key to any successful meditation practice. It is the door, where the vitality force in the air can get inside our energy system and directly nourish our sumshumna channel.  The Hara point, is the key to calm our mind instantly, therefore when we need to taming our mind, we need this hara point and the techniques to exploit it. Any meditation techniques which don't use this Hara point, such as using mantra, objects and koan, may takes time to tame mind chatter and entering meditation state, alpha state. But, using Hara point, the mind almost instantly quiet at the time the vitality enter rightly to sumshumna channel. Qi, as we usuall...

Do you believe in Reiki?

When a lot of people around the globe amazed with Reiki, there are some argue that Reiki is just hoax. At times it is a discouraging comments spreading skepticism around the web. Yes, it is quite discouraging, years before i felt i have been taking a bad pills by believing that Reiki can heal any diseases. Why? because every times i  lay may hand to give Reiki to my body or my patients, no diseases or illnesses can be heal. Most of all, i felt better, then the pain, disease or illnesses would come back any moments, and left nothing to proof that Reiki just touch it. It was a discouraging moment, but i have strong intuition that something is not right, Reiki should be effective as sensei Usui said. It is not a custom for a meditator such as sensei Usui which seek enlightenment to tell a lie for the sake of profit.

Austerity and freedom

For spiritual awakening purposes, many had gone to mountains, forests or monasteries to look inward in meditation. Therefore it raise a question for modern spiritual seekers, should they abandon worldly attachments or not to fulfill their aspiration? Are you one of those ? Within ourselves lies questions about our existence, purpose, and the existence of God. These questions alone has set many individuals to religions, gurus and temples. There are answers, but now it seems every answers seem right, every religions has its own stand point, any gurus believe their path is the right one or the fastest one. Some say abandoning our world desires completely is the key to spiritual awakening, is this true? Well, though many masters are findings their spiritual awakening through austerity for a lifetime. It is just because they have to find it by themselves, more like creating a car from the wheel. No one can taught them or guide them in a path, because there is none. They need...

London Riot 2011

England is a country which make an Indonesian like me to think about a mature society where people respect each other and always in order. I was believing that this kind of riot which was done mostly by young people will never be happening in London, England's capital city. I am deeply concern about the number of young people who become part of the riot. Do we as older ones gave bad example to them? In one of article that i read about the riot, discuss about the probability of GTA (Grand theft auto) game has something to do with the riot. Curious with the article i bought a GTA game, i was so shocked that the game is about being a theft, looter, and killer. Well, a game is not just a game anymore nowadays, with fantastic graphic sound a computer can give, it is become a simulation. Just like a pilot doing simulation training, our young people who play the game, is being trained to be theft, looter and killer subconsciously. As Reiki practitioner i realized, that our own ass...

Life or money ?

Last week, a friend of mine, which i haven't seen him for a year long come to visit, and we have a lot of conversation, even a serious debate about what is the most important thing in life. What to be prioritize first ? and why or why shouldn't we rely on anything in this world ? In short, my friend position is, Money should come first , if there is no money or material things, no life can be preserved, and we shouldn't rely on God, karma or anything, as it useless to bring out our desire result come true. As for me, off-course i rely on life force, i propose an idea, that life should be accepted as it is, and the will of life from the life force within us urge as to live and growing. It is up to the life force that our goal can be success or not. I believe many of you may think the same as us, and also wonder about how we should be govern our life that lead us to happy and prosperous life. My friend said " Material things or money can solve any problems in ...

Stay healthy as Reiki practitioner

Image
Last week, my best friend lend me a book, which titled The Microbe Factor: Your Innate Immunity and the Coming Health Revolution ,written by a Japanese gastroentrologist, dr. Hiromi Shinya, Md.  The book tell a story behind our decreasing immune system caused by our careless in treating our environment. As gastroentrologist, he written that the key to our health and longevity is in our food, we need to pay attention to what we eat. However, it is a fact that every food in market today is already being manipulated in its production, either with antibiotics, fungicide, chemical fertilizers, etc. Even vegetables and fresh fruits are decreasing in its vitamins and mineral contents. It seems that our effort to boost food production backfire to ourself. We will giving our money more to medical assistance than to our food in the end. As we trapped in this food situation, yes.... i say trapped, because it is very difficult to find and make sure that the food we bought is healthy enough...

How to maintain positive mind?

From many questions that i received these couple days, i found that a lot of our friends trouble with maintaining their mind to stay positive. They understand that positive attitudes and gratitude feeling are the foundation of every successful life and happiness, but it seems the world always gave them bad news. Everything seems not working well, our efforts haven't paid yet, in our mind start to creep doubt and anxiety toward our future. Well, there are numerous philosophies and techniques develop to cope with such situation. I have been in such situations for many times and already try many techniques, from always maintaining positive affirmation everyday to contemplate the meaning of impermanence. Though, such techniques are good, but it is not easily understood deeply, required exclusive time and often forgotten during most of our time. In short, i have found a better way to deal with negative mind and stay positive. It is not meant that you will never have negative mind, b...

Tao, the way of non action

At first, i didn't understand why Tao, the most popular philosophy in China can be implemented in life. Tao, teach about how non-action mind state can lead to harmonious life and every problems that we face will eventually fade by itself. We got tons of problems in life. Our life depends on many things which change overtime, there are things to worry about, from our debts in local grocery stores to unpromising economic conditions or from family matters to national matters. Everything in our life is in constant changing, what we seems as stability is just a condition before change take occur. So, many actions required to stay balance with our life, with our lifestyle and with everything that we dear. There is no possible way for ourself to be inactive, unless we want to face the risk losing what we hold dear. But, Tao....Suggest the other way around, non-action to solve problem. How this "non-action things" can solve our problems? your problems? Well, Tao philosophy sourc...

Working with law of attraction

I always admire Rhonda Byrne's film, "The Secret", i have watched the movie hundred of times perhaps, though not everyone agree with the content and ask septics questions about whether "The law of attraction works or not. Can you believe it? You can be whatever you want, and you can have whatever you want just by thought of it..... It seems ridiculous at first, but nothing can be gain without the first step can't we? So despite many criticism from my friends and family about "The secret" i continue practicing what the movie prescribe. Well, after many trials i found my own understanding about " The Law of attraction" that work. Do you want to know? I've been trying the use of the law in these circumstances: 1. Asking for rain.....Succeed 2. Asking for an apple....Succeed 3. Repeat asking for an apple...Succeed after 2 days 4. 3rd repeat asking for an apple.....Failed 5. Mentally asking for a car park in crowded festival....Succeed 6. Aski...

How to Gratitude

Hi guys, I have a story to tell you about gratitude. If you like the "Law of Attraction" theory, this story is probably for you. Here is the story: Long time ago in china, lived an old man with his 2 grandson. Many years had passed since the children's parents died. It was a common things, to found many children parent less, they lived in during wartime age, an age, when many warlords fight each other and destroyed many villages. Everyday, the old man taught both of them about the great universe that take care of them and people should gave thanks for anything in their life. It was a custom for them to gave thanks before they eat and work in the farm. However, The elder brother seems not listening to the advice, and always eat before prayer, and work in the farm earlier just because he won't his grandfather told him to pray first before work. His brother, listened to the advice, and say thanks before eat and work. He was so accustomed to it, and can't even eat or ...

The master key system

Image
Have you ever read a book titled The Complete Master Key System (Now including 28 Chapters) , by Charles F. Haanel? The book describe a lot about how to think properly to achieve success. It is said that many success entrepreneur get succeed by inspiration of this book, that's include Bill Gates, Anthony Robbin, etc. There are a lot of self help book available in stores, that's why i don't interested with this book in the beginning until my dad buy me one and said, "This book is good for you" and place it on the table. I just reply "ok, i'll read it later" then not pay attention to it anymore. But, few days later, i just came home from work and need to relax a little bit, my eyes suddenly found this book which already there on my table for few days. Then, after read few pages, i felt need to read more pages. I was interested on how Charles F. Haanel explain about mind and its connection to many phenomena and situation within our life. As i practic...

Worry is friend

Reiki practices as Sensei Usui legacy, teach us about not to worry about anything. It is written in his epitaph as his main teaching. Nowadays, we acknowledge this teaching in his 5 admonitions. Following this teaching is not an easy task, in fact it is a lifetime struggle just to have a little time rest from worrisomeness. I bet you understand what i meant. Worry occur anytime, anyplace and anywhere. Every time we get rid of it, it comes back ten times stronger than before. Is it possible to overcome worry, once and forever? Is there any tricks or techniques that can save us from the torture? Why my Reiki practices can not save me from worrying my future? Our life full of things that can make us to worry about, maybe about the traffic jam, the boss, our food, our future relationship with spouse, our children prosperity and health, you name it, it can be thousand little things that need to be worried about. If we succumb to such feeling that would not be advantageous for us, it drains ...

How To Apply The Law Of Abundance

This is a nice article i found on the web, here is its original address: http://hubpages.com/hub/How-To-Apply-The-Law-Of-Abundance BY EVELYN LIM What Is The Law Of Abundance In our quiet, perceptive moments, we may take a look at the bounty and endless diversity of nature around us. And we marvel at the wealth of nature. Perhaps, the thought may strike us, how wonderful it could be if we could tap into the power that made all this wealth possible. In fact, we can. If we conscientiously apply the Law of Abundance . The Law of Abundance is about Being . It is about being wealth conscious . You need to Be Wealthy before you can think wealthy thoughts and take wealthy action. You may think that it is hard to Be wealthy when you do not feel rich or prosperous. However, this thinking is further from the truth. You just do not realise that you already are abundant in many aspects. You have constructed a physical and conscious reality that has prevented you from seeing this. In quantum physic...

When your life miserable..

Sometimes our life become so miserable, we do not want things that happen in our life and questioning, where is the happiness? where are the good thins? why they seem hiding from us? and then we starting to condemn God, because no one can be blame by our miserable and misfortune life. Rather than make God as your black sheep for your misfortune, it is better to understand how God which is also understood as "All that is" work in this world. Therefore creating for ourselves chances to re-create our life and begin to see the wonder of God in the universe. Most of us do not realize the presence of God in anything they see, hear, smell and touch, therefore we often feel overpowered and distress when living our life. However, it is there with tremendous energy and potential which is waiting for manifestation. When you do not recognize this great potential within yourself, you wouldn't able to use it for your interest. That's what Usui Sensei try to teach us, He introduced ...

Give me reason...take me higher

The Title comes from World Cup 2010 national anthem "Waving Flag" by K'Naan. From the moment i heard the song, i just can't hide my love to it. Its rhythm bring joy and togetherness. Two big thumbs for K'naan. I was so inspired with the lyric. You can get motivated just by reading it. It describe hope and happines that lie in the future. As we grow older, we see a lot of awful things in our life, we had hope and dreams back then, but the world seems not always friendly for us. Not every hope and dreams come to our life. Later on we feel bitter, and sack our hope and dream. Hope and dream may just be our imagination's product. It may not real at all. Even a certain philosophy teach about how to live in reality, train us to dwell our mind to present time to avoid unhappiness. But, in the absent of unhappiness, can happiness manifest? When there isn't something that we call darkness can we acknowledged light? For me, living in a reality is accepting the dark...

As above so Below

We who live in the modern world, are fascinating with the things that modern world invented. As any invention being invented will lead to another invention, this progress will eventually take us to a new broader opportunities and possibilities that no other human in the past will even dream about. Computers, Sky-crappers, Nuclear power, and many modern appliances are shaping our daily lives; we no longer understand how to live without it. Our lives are getting easier by the use such technology, and life is no longer as painful as before. Inventions are not magic; it is not done by a night. Inventions are actually the practical use of the natural laws, which should be discovered and understood first. Therefore, when Benjamin Franklin discovered electricity, then Thomas Alva Edison can invent light bulb. Inventions are also based on something that already been invented. So many things already invented, but only some people wonder, how can a human being invent the inventions? Why some pe...

Secret of miracles

The law of attraction says that anything we think and feel may attract conditions that coherent with it. Therefore, if we have so many negativities store in our subconscious such as judgment, jealousy, and anger, we will attract realities which give us more chance to do what we usually do-judgment, jealousy and anger. It seems bizarre to me when i read the theory several years ago, but through continues trial and error, i finally begin to realize that "The Law of Attraction" indeed is the secret of miracles. (Check this too, "Applying law of abundance" ) As Gendai Reiki practitioner, i also notice that the lesson about " Law of Attraction" also become an important integral part of Reiki practices. It is also said in Sensei Usui's five admonitions, that positive mind and feeling may attract miracles healing. However, as Reiki practitioner we have more chance to success. It is because when we practice Reiki, we become attune to the source of existence ...

What Learning Reiki can offer to you

After 10 years, learning Gendai Reiki ho and Usui Reiki Ryoho, i can conclude that learning Reiki is not just learning about healing and meditation. Healing and meditation techniques that you learned in Reiki are only the tips of an iceberg. There are a lot more that Reiki can offer to your happiness and fullfiling life. For years, since we were born to this world, we've been introduced to many beliefs. We learned that without such beliefs, we are vulnerable to mistakes. Instead of learning how to cope with such mistakes and learn valuable lessons, we were taught to stay away from doing any mistakes. Unfortunately, nature didn't create good without bad. Any mistakes that we made or will make, eventually are necessary for us to learn and evolve. No one in history can achieve great achievement without prior mistakes and learning from it. Reiki learning systems, though have already changed overtime by many Reiki masters. Still have a subconscious message from its originator, Sense...

Second brain....

Do you think, that your brain is the only part within your body that think? If you think so, you were wrong. Brain does everything to make your body moves, make you able to calculate and imagine thinks, but brain is not the only part that think. There is another part within you that give you second opinion in your mind process. Psychology's students, study the existence of subconsciousness, they consider subconciousness has bigger effect on how we think, feel, and react. The consciousness that we aware of is only the tip of an iceberg. It nothing compares to subconciousness. But what organ that responsible with the subconciousness ? Have you ever heard people say " Hey, my gut feeling tell to do this" ? Yeah, the other organ than think for you is your organs within your belly. With many important organs link each other with complex nerve system, your belly gives second opinion to your mind process. It explain why people can get confused when deciding something. Unlike th...
