MY PHILOSOPHY "ON" REIKI
|
||||||||||
|
I believe
that the most important realization that I have come to personally is that - for me - reiki is much more a PHILOSOPHY than a technique. You can find many a reiki "master" that will sign you up for an epic weekend-long class with further requirements to return for workshops that even a note from your mother will not excuse you from, and all of this work usually takes a second mortgage on the house just to get started.
First of all, some people unfortunately go into the "business" of reiki. And secondly, reiki is a very VERY personal thing. No one should ever be
made to feel as though they need to be doing reiki as another does reiki -
even if that person is a "master". We all have the potential to be masters, but
the catch is that you are NEVER anyone's master but your own. At best, I am the catalyst by which someone else comes into more intimate contact with their own innate healing energy.
As you can see, I have very non-traditional views as far as my reiki practice
goes: I believe that the student - NOT the teacher - is in charge of their
learning (i.e. - when, how much at a time, how frequently they return for
follow-ups, how quickly they move forward, etc.). I believe that the student -
NOT the "master" - is their own best teacher. I believe that - in Reiki - you
learn by doing.
Reiki has a mind of it's own, and it knows what it needs to do - there is
NOTHING you can do wrong. I believe that Reiki is much more about feeling
than knowing. I believe that perpetuating the myth that the symbols are
sacred and treating them with something close to paranoia is detrimental to
reiki in that it takes the focus off of what really matters: a clear sincere INTENT
to heal. I believe that INTENT is the most important tool in Reiki along with
INTUITION, and that learning to implement the latter tool is one of the greatest benefits of walking the healing path. You MUST get in touch with that part of yourself that is aware of the innate healing gifts that you carry - the part of you that just KNOWS.

The motivation to ask any question means that the answer is locked somewhere inside - else you wouldn't have thought to ask in the first place.

HEALING SESSIONS
In REIKI, there is no body manipulation as in massage. REIKI is a simple laying on of hands. Each practitioners technique is different, and is also measured by the needs of the recipient and their own comfort level. The recipient remains fully clothed at all times. A normal session lasts anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour. the INTENT of the practitioner is that healing should occur, and if intent is clear and sincere then there is always going to be some benefit - even if it is just a quiet sense of calm and relaxation following a session. Relaxation, in and of itself is imperative in any healing process. ALSO... the more work you do with reiki - on your own or with a practitioner - the more you will begin to realize the benefits that may have at one time alluded you due to a simple lack of awareness.

ATTUNEMENTS
Someone choosing not only to utilize healing sessions with another practitioner, but that also wishes to become a practitioner themselves, will receive "attunements". An attunement is a short simple ritual that, in effect, helps you to "switch on" that which you've always carried - an ENORMOUS amount of innate healing energy! There are three attunement levels. the speed with which you move through these levels and how much you do at a time - as well as how much time you spend with me - is entirely up to you. I believe that the way in which a student learns is as important as the learning itself, and that primary responsibility of HOW that learning happens is a great learning tool. I, of course, provide guidelines that each student may use as they see fit.
GENERALLY:
REIKI I - Level one has much to do with physical healing and cleansing. You begin to acclamate, on all levels (physical, emotional and spiritual), to the re-awakening of your innate healing energy.
REIKI II - Level two has much to do with emotional healing and cleansing. Acclamation is enhanced by higher levels of emotional clearing.
REIKI III - Level three has much to do with spiritual healing and cleansing. Acclamation is further enhanced by higher levels of spiritual clearing. The MASTER/TEACHER level.
How each person perceives the cleansing and clearing they experience and how they are affected through each level can and will change from person to person. This is merely a VERY general guideline as to how you MAY be affected.
