This
is a very simplified primer on basic Reiki.
It’s intended as a basic lesson
to help someone get started channeling
the energy and in no way should be considered
a Reiki Course in itself.
What
is Reiki?
Reiki
is a Japanese phrase which means “Universal
Energy”. Its history is enshrouded
in myth, legend and parable, but the simple
fact is, it works. Reiki is simply the
process of channeling Universal Energy
through oneself and into some one (or
something) else. The vast range of uses
for Reiki range from healing oneself to
opening and balancing the Chakras and
even charging objects and food with the
energy.
Getting
Started
Reiki
is safe and simple to use. To get started
simply sit or lie down in a comfortable
position. Put on the music of your choice
and relax. Place your hands over your
face with your palms over your eyes. Touch
your tongue to the roof of your mouth
with the tip of your tongue just behind
your front teeth.
As
you inhale just open up and feel the energy
flow down through the top of your head
and down to your heart chakra, then feel
it flow out along your arms and out through
your hands and into your face. At the
simplest level that ALL you have to do.
The energy will go wherever it’s
needed and do whatever is required of
it. You don’t have to send it anywhere
in particular or try to control it.
Getting
Deeper
Reiki
flows through you simply by your ‘intent’.
You just have to intend to open up to
it and you’ll find it readily available.
You may feel many different things while
giving yourself a Reiki treatment. Your
hands or the part of your body covered
by your hands may get hot, cold or tingly.
Some people feel it very easily and others
take awhile to open up to it. The simplest
explanation that I’ve found is to
think of what the emotion ‘Love’
feels like, and then just relax and let
it flow.
I
always advise everyone to study Reiki.
Any energy worker, massage therapist,
healer, martial artist or metaphysician
can greatly benefit from Reiki, and there
are many FREE Reiki classes and sources
of training available, as many of us try
to make it as easily accessible as possible
to anyone who wants it.
I’ll soon be publishing a comprehensive
Reiki course, including the symbols and
hand positions, to the web as a PDF file
that anyone can download and study, as
well as a list of Reiki Master willing
to do free attunements.
I
hope this simple exercise helps some of
you who’ve been interested in Reiki,
but just haven’t made the leap into
studying it yet.
