What is Reiki?
Reiki is the name given to a system of natural healing which evolved in Japan from
the experience and dedication of Dr Mikao Usui (d. 1926). Fired by a burning
question. Dr Usui was inspired to develop this healing system from ancient
teachings after many years of study, research and meditation. He spent the rest of
his life practising and teaching Reiki. Today Reiki continues to be taught by Reiki
Masters who have trained in the tradition passed down from Master to student. This
manual will give you the details on how to be become a Master along with the
attunement that you will receive to enable you to teach others this wonderful gift of
healing.
The physics
As young children we do not question that the world we perceive through our senses
is the whole thing. Later we learn that our senses are actually inadequate to know the
world. A look down a microscope will soon convince you that normal eyesight fails to
detect all manner of things. Until the invention of SONAR (sound navigation and
ranging technology), we had no idea how bats could 'see' in the dark. How homing
pigeons or migrating birds operate is still something of a mystery. It is clear that just
about every animal has a far superior sense (of smell) compared with humans; that is
not to mention how they taste things compared to humans, something we have yet to
discover.
Other natural phenomena we have come to understand partially include: gravity,
magnetism, and quantum physics, not to mention advances in physical brain function
and psychology.
Although our world appears to be motionless and solid, we now understand that in
fact everything is moving, and some sub atomic level, everything is far from solid. In
fact everything has great gaps in-between the particles. The nucleus of an atom is
the only truly dense part of it incredibly the size of the nucleus in relation to the size
of the atom is like a pea in a concert hall. Electrical charge is actually responsible for
solidity, not density or solidity of atoms, which are mostly empty space. We have
also come to understand that everything vibrates at its own frequency. Through the
great work of scientists from many fields, we have come to a scientific confirmation of
what psychically sensitive people have long-time held, that there is more going on in
the universe than our limited senses can perceive.
The body and its organs have bio magnetic fields around them. The hands of a Reiki
healer appear after testing to have a much stronger magnetic field around them than
that of a non-healer. This is based on a scientific study where Reiki healer’s hands
were tested and found to omit a field of 0.002 gauss. 1000 times stronger than any
other field emitted from the body, so Reiki can also be measured.
Reiki is now part of a worldwide movement of people who are properly concerned
about their welfare and their friends and family and indeed the planet. People are
seeking to take responsibility for their own health, working with conventional
medicine but extending those boundaries. Admitting that we are just part of a natural
system might seem daunting and overwhelming at first, but it serves to actually
empower how the system works, which in turn enables us to use it for personal
advantage and to help others. It makes us educate ourselves and accept the
received energy and wisdom with spirit’s generosity, and makes us explore new
ideas. Treat every experience as something from which we can grow spiritually and
mentally in helping others. It Also gives a sense of well being in that you have
helped someone/thing.
In Summary Reiki is a technique for total healing and relaxation. It is unlimited and
free and leaves the sender and reciever in a state of deep relaxation and reduces
stress and ailments. It gives a deep sense of well being.
