REIKI INSIGHTS After your Reiki First Degree you may have had some enlightening experiences. Often it is experienced as a coming home to ourselves. A greater sense of peace, self-awareness and self-acceptance usually accompanies the Reiki 1 initiate. We learn to diminish our role plays if we have any, that is, the people we think we should be, and we start to become more the people who we are – more natural, balanced, peaceful and aware. These experiences all stem from the willingness and the powerful choice to give ourselves what we need to be happy and fulfilled. One of the key realisations is that we DESERVE to live a life of joy, peace and purpose. We deserve to be happy. Happiness is largely a choice. TAKING CONTROL We learn not to let our internal experience be dictated by outside circumstances and things happening that are outside of our control. We take control of what is inside of us - our thoughts, perceptions, beliefs and emotions. These are the tools by which we shape our world. We use these tools wisely to guide our actions. We stop reacting – that is acting based on what has just happened, and we start responding, acting based on what we intend to do about what has just happened. Our responses have the potential to be much more measured and powerful when we learn to develop awareness, and therefore control over our internal habits and unconscious reactions. THE AURIC FIELD The Reiki First Degree initiate usually begins to experience a much more acute awareness of their physical body. As we learn to calm our emotions we also learn to calm our physical reactions to a range of stimuli. With this new physical awareness we very often begin to perceive the electrical energy that is permeating our bodies. This can begin as a buzzing in the hands and progress to include our entire auric field. This can be described as a very spiritual experience at times as we develop a whole new awareness to a part of our being that we previously may not have known existed. LEARNING TO SHINE It is often at the Second Degree Reiki stage that our perception of our auric field really becomes very powerful. It becomes possible to release blockages and tension within the body simply by directing awareness to that area. This control over our energy system ultimately helps us to remain calm and relaxed in nearly any situation, reducing stress and positively affecting our overall health. THE CLIENT HEALS THEMSELVES Reiki is “passed” to a client using a laying of hands method. The client is naturally induced into a deep state of relaxation using nothing more than the bio magnetic field surrounding the practitioner’s hands. The frequencies of the bio magnetic field during Reiki practice have been measured and correspond largely to Alpha Brain Waves. During the treatment the client may experience a rebalancing of their energy system, comparable to achieving a deep meditative state. It is important to note that it is believed Reiki does not come from us, but passes through us. That is, we attune ourselves to the frequencies of Reiki as a practitioner and then the client unconsciously attunes to the frequencies of our bio magnetic field, stimulating healing and relaxation. We only facilitate the conditions for a rebalancing of energy to take place. The clients own body does the healing, never the practitioner. A Reiki practitioner is a therapist and is not qualified to offer diagnosis. STARTING YOU OWN PRACTICE Should a student choose to advance to Second Degree Reiki they will be equipped with all the information and training needed to give a professional treatment to a paying client, including advice on starting their own Reiki practice. |
