After the series of articles in the newsletter by reiki master
Robert Morgen, some of you were wondering "What is Reiki?"
I'll let the master explain...
Basic Reiki
by Robert Morgen
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.

I love that I can make a commission for recommending
quality products I use, like this one:
|
Centerpointe
Holosync Audio Technology
The Centerpointe Research Institute has a great program that
they say will help you "meditate more deeply than a Zen
monk, create profound positive changes in your mental, emotional,
and spiritual health, and dramatically raise your threshold for
stress."
(I've used their products, and I'm impressed. I know that
some say this isn't a "regular" meditation, but that's
okay. You can still do both. At least try the free demo. - Steve)
