The secret of Reiki

In all Reiki traditions, it is taught that we need to let Reiki doing the healing process, and we do not need to use any will or intention to do healing. We've been taught this to avoid any negativity transferred from our patients to us. Also, any intention will become obstacles for Reiki energy flow, thus make healing process slower. But, it happens that this is the most difficult thing to do in Reiki practices. First, how can we avoid intention when a desire to give Reiki itself is in-fact an intention? secondly, our emotions are triggered so hard when healing our beloved one and the last one, we want to have patients who pay for our services, we desperately need result or they want become our patients anymore.

Reiki healing is like about conducting a good musical orchestra, where many different musical instruments play together harmoniously. Think our mind as the conductor, the heart as the bass, limfatic system as violins, and the other instruments as other body's organs. If the conductor has drunk all night long, and has to perform in the following day, what kind of music can be produced? Imagine the conductor does not understand enough about a good music all about or those who play the instruments are in bad mood,the orchestra will produce a bad sound. If that orchestra is our organ then the bad sound is our auric field pattern when we get sickness. To overcome this messy sound, we need someone or something to teach the orchestra about how to produce good and harmonious music. The fastest thing to teach is giving a direct example to follow. Then, we got Reiki, a harmonious vibration in the universe as pattern for our conscious, subconscious and unconscious mind to follow its v...

Recently, I read pranic healing book written by master Choa kok sui. Though it is quite different than reiki in its approach toward illnesses. It proves effective to heal, and a lot of testimonies were written to support how good this pranic healing techniques as energy therapy. As reiki practitioners, I was taught to become the clear channel for reiki flows. However, just become the channel of reiki isn't enough to heal. One of elemental things forgotten in reiki teaching is the discharge of negative energy or known as hibiki. What we have in reiki teachings, are the way to increase the flow of energy, but not how to utilize it efficiently. We were taught that reiki is automatically convert hibiki. Master Choa, wrote in his book, that energy negative need to be discharge outside patient's body otherwise it needs a longer time to heal. This is also proved to eliminate healing crisis. Which almost occur during reiki healing. Using this view, I tried to heal several il...

Yesterday, i found an article which tell a story about a holy man, upon entering the heaven, he see a lot of boxes around the door of heaven. Those boxes wrapped beautifully as it meant to be given to someone birthday. Then he see a lot of angels come out from the heaven door and piling up more boxes around the heaven door. Curious with this, he ask an angel," why they put so many boxes around the heaven door". The Angel say, "Those boxes fill with anything that human prayed for, but when we want to deliver it, the human who pray for it no longer desire it anymore, so we just pilling up on the heaven door." Sometimes, it is not because God or The Universe don't answer your pray, but it is because we no longer have focus on it and change our want too often. If you are a Reiki practitioner, i want to share some insight on how to use Reiki to materialize your desire. Based on the law of abundance ,anything in the world created abundantly, more than enough for eve...

In Japan, Reiki Ryoho Gakkai, which is the oldest Reiki community in the world always believe that level Okuden contain the inner teaching of Reiki. A student who has pass examination by his/her Reiki teacher may enroll to this class and starting to receive knowledge about the true about Reiki is. Nowadays, Reiki is for everyone who wishes to learn, Reiki masters pass Reiki for certain tuition fees, and even for free. We can also search knowledge about Reiki techniques easily on the web. But, something that the modern information age cannot give us is the “inner knowledge” which is the result of diligent practice. There is a hidden meaning in the third symbol of Reiki, if we carefully contemplate its meaning, we will discover a lesson about the truth of our existence. For practical use, this symbol sends the energy aiming on the center of the matters beyond time and space like a time machine. This symbol symbolizes the sun. As modern people, we see the sun just like a thing, ...

The second symbol of Reiki which often called as the harmony symbol is basically aiming to our mind and emotional states. This symbol draws gentle and subtle energy which is necessary to alleviate our feeling of sorrow and suffering. Let us discuss a little about sorrow and suffering. As human being we have the capacity to differentiate things, we can compare things. Thanks to our memory, we can even compare events in the past with the events in the present time and future time. This ability makes us superior to other creatures walk on earth. With this ability we can choose and create our own destiny, we strive not to be controlled by nature again. We try to overcome nature with knowledge and technology which are the fruit of differentiation ability. However, this gift is also a curse in disguised. In comparing things, we know what the best is for us; we know what the ideal things that should be happened to us. By such knowledge, we won’t accept any changes, our mind and emotion...

In Reiki traditions, everyone use this symbol for increasing the power of Reiki that emanate from hands. This symbol symbolizes the earth which sustains all living things. With this symbol we can send a strong energy aiming mostly on shapes (Physical/solids). Earth has rhythm and consciousness which programmed into human body, our body is like a mirror image of the earth itself and our body is influenced by the earth rhythm constantly. As an example, our average breathing rate is around 18 times per minute which is the same as the rhythm of the ocean waves. When our body do not get in tune with the earth’s rhythm, we may get sick or having some misfortunes events. That’s explaining why we often get misfortunes when we get sick. Therefore, this first symbol is used to make our body’s vibrations back to its original and healthy rhythm. In summary, this symbol symbolizes: The Earth. The Land. The Power. Focus and raising power. Visible things Effect of this symbol: Revitalize and bring ba...

Realized or not we are program running automatically, our mind set the program and our body run the program, that’s how it works. Mind is kind of a mystery with many facets, but mind itself is a kind of vibration in truth. Our brain and nerve system is the seat of our mind; it works like a radio transmitter and receiver, capable of sending and receiving vibrations and waves. We used frequency numbers to symbolized certain types of radio waves, as for Reiki we symbolized types of energies with shapes and sounds. With such symbols our mind can easily tune to its vibrations in no times. The healing technique using symbols is called the ‘symbolized healing’; at level 2 you will learn how to use three kinds of symbols which each of them have certain characters of energy and use. Shapes in Reiki-ho’s symbols are marks and letters and considered as “the antenna to tune into the universal energy: Energy comes out from some shapes or the wave resonant with certain shapes (such as pyramids and s...

I believe all of you who already take course on Reiki I (western Reiki) or Shoden level (Japanese traditional Reiki) feel empower with this wonderful healing art. However, your healing ability will not improve if you only rely on attunements alone. Even if you take a lot of attunements from many teachers or masters, your healing ability will not much improve unless you use Reiki for healing others. After taking level 1(Shoden) attunement, I suggest you practice self-healing for 21 days. In a Reiki circles this practice help you cleanse your body energy path. Some Reiki masters say that this practice is trying to follow sensei Usui training and fasting for 21 days on Mt. Kurama. In Japanese traditional Reiki (Usui Reiki Ryoho) self healing is done by placing hands on 4 positions on head alone. If you feel sick in a certain area on your body, you may place your hands to that area just after you treat your head. Sensei Hiroshi Doi, gave self-cleansing techniques and self growing technique...

A way to be an expert in every subjects of life is doing it everyday and every time. Being an expert in Reiki-ho is not lie on how many attunements you get or how many different styles you have mastered, but lie on how many times you used Reiki in your everyday life. Here are some suggestions of what you can do with Reiki: 1. You can perform Reiki healing on anything like a bed, a cloth or a car. (Try it with the thought of cleansing and harmonizing the object with Reiki energy from the palm of your hand.) 2. On Mobile phone, do Reiki for cleansing objects technique then give Reiki, Your mobile phone now is protected for being stolen or it will protect you from bigger losses. I gave Reiki to my mobile phones when I left it in my car’s dashboard in July 2008. Then somebody got in the car and stole my mobile phones. Fortunately, the thief did not take my laptop or my car, the thief just pass my notebook and took only my mobile phones. Otherwise I incur greater losses. I believe my mobil...

For the first five years after receiving Reiki for the first time, I use Reiki for the benefit of myself. I am quite diligent for doing self healing everyday, but my healing ability and energy level seems lower than my friend whose doing healing work to other people everyday It seems our body has certain capacity of storing energy, when it is already full it can’t store more energy until we increase the capacity first. When doing healing works to other people, our body does not store the energy, but works only as a medium. As energy pass from our body to our patients bodies, our energy paths get cleaned and our energy storing capacity gets enlarged. I believe this as a wonderful character of Reiki-ho. In Reiki-ho, you can only gain maximum healing ability and healing if you heal others. There is no other way, if you only help yourself; you only slow your progress. Another way to help your healing ability and energy increase is by practicing Reiki circle with your Reiki friends. Two or...

In Usui Reiki Ryoho, we can clean objects energy or vibration with Reiki. This purification technique is called ‘ Jaki kiri kokyu ho’. The main purpose of cleansing objects with Reiki is giving it a positive vibration after cleanse its negative vibration with hope that it radiate positive vibration back to you when you use that objects daily. Another purpose is protecting your objects from anyone who want to stole or damage your stuffs. So, when you worry about your car being stolen, use this technique to prevent it being stolen in vibratory level 1. Cutting off and cleansing the bad energy technique This technique is to cut off the bad energy or inharmonious wave, attached to substances and cleanse them with Reiki as well as send in the good energy. Keep the hand flat and swing it like a Karate Chop, with Reiki radiating from the palm about five centimeters away from the object, and stop when it has passed the object completely. As most of the waves become fine and harmonious after th...

Reiki as universal energy not just heal human being, but every creatures on earth can be healed with Reiki. If you have pets, you can show your love to them by giving Reiki healing everyday. Below are some guidance when giving Reiki to pets and animal 1. Reiki for animals For animals such as dogs, cats, cows, horses and so on, perform healing starting with the forehead and move onto the head part and the body part. If they cannot be touched or stable, hold the hands over them from a short distance. For birds, hold them in both hands gently.    They become stable and seem to be comfortable when performing Reiki holding the head or the neck gently. You can perform it holding the hands over the cage as well. The carps, gold fish, aquarium fish and so on, perform healing from the outside of the water tank or the pond. You can send Reiki into their food and water. Most of the pets, may feel so comfortable and sometimes sleep during the Reiki treatment. What a wonderfull moment there, when y...

Doing healing works in Gendai Reiki-ho is very easy, just follow the ‘ Basic 12 hands positions’ suggested by sensei Hiroshi Doi is all what you need to do. In most cases, just do the head positions are enough, especially for maintaining health or in a rush. I suggest for you to do this self-healing everyday, after get up in the morning and before go to sleep at night. For maximum benefits, here are what you need to know about healing yourself: 1. Self healing is performed by putting (or holding up) the hands on the basic positions in order. For the hard-to-reach points such as the ones on the back, put the hands on the positions close by with the thought of “The hands are on the right position”. Reiki energy will go to the positions you are conscious of. Reiki can be contacted in an instant either when the hands are put on or the consciousness for Reiki healing is put towards the position. This is how it’s set up by attunement. 2. The time to send Reiki into the basic positions for t...

In Traditional Reiki Ryoho, Reiki practitioner only use 4 hand positions. All of them are treating the head. But in western Reiki, i know more than 18 hand positions. That's quite different. It seems, the traditional Usui Reiki Ryoho depends on their diagnostic skill to locate the disease's source. So they only treat the head for creating mind equilibrium then directly to the disease source. How about in Gendai Reiki-ho? Sensei doi formulated 12 hand positions, the head positions are the same as Usui Reiki Ryoho. He probably want to adapt western Reiki style treatment with is quite convinient for those who learn Reiki for the first time. Here are the 12 hand positions: 1. For Reiki healing for people, a body is divided into three parts such as “Head, Body Front and Body Back”, and each part has four points which makes a total of 12 points and they are called “the basic 12 hand positions for healing”. Reiki healing is performed on these points in order. ( I will call them the ba...

One thing to be remember, Reiki healing do not and never use concentration. What we need to do it as relax as possible with waiting attitude. Don't expect the good result or bad result, jut leave it to the providence. Before i do Reiki healing, i always say in my mind " If God pleases, the patient will be healed". This will relax my mind and emotions. Just in case you need a guideline, here are some guideline from sensei Hiroshi Doi, Gendai Reiki-ho founder: 1. The place should be clean, bright , quiet and well ventilated that you are able to relax. If this is not available, purify the energy of the place with Reiki before healing. Even when an ideal place is not available, do not feel nervous. Have a blanket or a bath towel ready as you may feel cool when you are relaxed. Have some healing music ready if necessary. 2. Try to wash your hands beforehand. It is necessary as you touch the receiver and it is also effective to wash off the low vibration energy on your hands. A...

Our daily life in a modern world is being exposed to many unhealthy vibration such as electromagnetic vibration from electronic devices, pollutants, and even our negative emotions. Before practicing or receiving Reiki, it is best for us to do aura cleansing technique. This technique, will comb your body aura and make it ready to receive Reiki vibration. What happened if you don't do this? Well, If you don't do this, it will only make Reiki a hard time penetrating your aura to your body. Thus, delaying healing process. 1. Aura cleansing must be performed before an after Reiki healing 2. Pre-healing aura cleansing drains the excess energy and adjusts the aura to balance the energy. As the feel of your hands improve, you will become able to feel the places with a bad energy condition. a. A receiver may either lie down or sit on the floor or on a chair to be comfortable. b. After a sender connects with Reiki by raising both hands, a sender strokes the whole body of a receiver with ...

Open the palm of the hand naturally and put the fingers together tightly. The thumb can be a little apart. Energy will scatter when the fingers are open. It is effective to open the fingers apart widely only when you intent to send gentle energy. Do not press the hand on a receiver but put is as light as a feather. I usually shaking both my hands before doing healing works, because my hands though feel have no tensions usually quite stiff. So, shaking the hands help to relax both hands more. In addition, feather like touch is quite tricky, it is often you already feel touching the patient lightly, but the patients still feel not light enough. Just almost touch the patient’s body; you will get the feather like touch.:) 1. Both hands technique It is commonly known to receive with the left hand and send with the right hand. It is not necessary to choose hands in Reiki –ho. Make full use of both hands. The whole body gets charged with Reiki from the point where the hand is put on. (Though ...
