Life Force

I learned about life force and the important role it plays in maintaining life.

Life force or ki, as it is also called is a subtle energy that surrounds and flows within all living things. It is the presence of ki in living things that keeps them alive and healthy. If the ki is removed or greatly weakened in anything alive, it will soon die. All illness is caused by disturbances in the healthy flow of ki within the subtle energy system of all living things. This metaphysical energy is present everywhere and has a wide spectrum of vibrations and levels of expression depending on the kind of life and/or life processes it is supporting. Ki is a necessary energy for everything that exists, both living and nonliving, in the material world, as well as in all spiritual dimensions. In humans, there is a range of different vibrations of ki that are present in the aura and chakras. There is very basic ki that has to do with sustaining the physical body, ki that is involved with our thoughts and feelings as well as higher ki that has to do with our spiritual experiences. Ki is the carrier of our intentions out into the world where they manifest and it is ki directed by the mind that attracts to us all of our experiences. From this we can see that ki plays a very important role in every aspect of life. Ki is an amazing subject and a great deal can be written about it, but for our purpose in understanding the nature of Reiki energy, we need to focus on its activity within the human subtle energy system.
There are several exercises to develop ki and use it for healing. These exercises usually involved mediation and breathing exercises and when doing them, I could feel the buildup of ki within my body and energy field and could move this energy around with my intention. I could also see it inside myself and feel the way it affected me. Ki usually created a very relaxing and pleasant feeling. Ki is affected by the mind and can be directed by the mind. It can be sent out to do things such as heal or help others.
Ki can also be used negatively
Why people get sick. If ki could only do good, we would live in a very different world. But since ki is affected by the mind, it can create both positive and negative results depending on the kind of thought or intention that is directing it. Ki directed by the mind is responsible for both our good health and our bad health. It is the positive ki, created and directed by the subconscious mind that empowers all the organs of the body and keeps them healthy. But the subconscious mind can also harbor negative thoughts and when these negative thoughts are about oneself, they influence our personal ki in a negative way. This negatively directed ki will form around the organs of the body and in the chakras and aura and slow down the healthy activities of the body and eventually create sickness. It is negative ki that is responsible for creating dysfunction and illness in the body. Healers can often see negative ki as dark spots or clouds in or around the body that are obstructing the flow of healthy ki. By removing the negative ki, the healthy ki is allowed to flow again and the body will return to healthy functioning.

Negative ki can have a very simple charge of energy and be easy to remove, or it can have a more powerful charge with a more sophisticated programming and be more difficult to remove. It can be deceptive and act like it is healthy, but underneath, it can have a negative intention and can also mask itself or hide, making it difficult to detect. This is based on the thoughts that were used to create it - thoughts coming from the person's subconscious mind or even conscious mind, which combine with ki and take action to effect the functioning of the body, the emotions and the mind. From this it can be seen how important it is to develop a positive self-image and to release all negative thoughts and feelings from our minds.

As we grow up and throughout our lives we are exposed to millions of thoughts and feelings from others. These thoughts and feelings affect our minds depending on how receptive we are to them. When we are young, we are like an open book and it is difficult for us to decide which thoughts and feelings to accept or reject. During this time, the formative years, the foundation of our personalities is established and we are usually influenced most strongly by our parents. We also receive programming from our friends and acquaintances, television, teachers at school, and other experiences. These beginning concepts become established in our subconscious mind and this in turn effects the flow of ki in and around us, forming patterns of positive and negative ki in our auras, chakras and bodies that directly effect our health and everything we do. Both positive and negative ki can be placed in ones energy field by another. This is sometimes done unconsciously by others who have positive or negative thoughts and feelings toward you. The stronger the feelings, the stronger the effect. Positive and negative ki coming from others will affect you depending on how receptive you are to it. Positive ki can come from those who have a positive regard toward you or from those who pray for you (in a healthy way) and negative ki can come from those who harbor dark, menacing and/or angry thoughts toward you. This negative energy is often called bad vibes and can have a temporary effect, or can do more permanent harm if the receiving person is weak or open to the negative energy and if it is directed in a more powerful and deliberate way.

Our minds and subtle energy fields are also affected by experiences from past lives. This effect is called karma and is carried into this life in the aura when the soul first enters the physical body at birth. As we live our lives, past life karma in the aura attracts experiences to us, which have a similar vibration to the karma, and they in turn strengthen the karmic charge in the aura. As it becomes stronger, it will usually work its way into the chakras and eventually into the physical body. As it works its way deeper into the subtle energy system, the effects become more pronounced and depending on whether it is positive or negative, it can effect us in different ways, attracting good fortune or bad and also have an effect on our health. It must be kept in mind that karma can be healed without having to fully experience it's negative effects! The basis of poor health is negative thoughts from one's own mind, from past lives or that have been received from others, attracting and/or generating negative ki and affecting ones energy field by limiting healthy ki and restricting the functioning of the organs of the body.

Healers heal by generating positive ki and sending it to the area of the aura, chakras or body where the negative ki is located, with the intention of transforming the negative ki to positive or releasing and dissipating it. This allows the natural flow of positive ki to take place, which in turn restores health to the physical body. Regardless of the method involved, all processes of healing or personal and spiritual development involve releasing negatively directed ki from a person's energy field, along with the negative thoughts and feelings that have created it. This is the primary process used by all shamans and healers all over the world. They may employ a wide range of techniques to do this, but the end result is the same.

When I began using Reiki, I realized right away that Reiki was remarkably different than the kind of ki I was previously familiar with. Reiki seemed to have a higher vibration and I noticed that it did not need direction from my mind, but seemed to have a mind of its own. It would begin to flow without having to do any kind of exercise at all. I did not have to meditate or do breathing exercises and it seemed to flow all by itself whenever I placed my hands on someone or simply thought about it. It also did not make use of my own personal energy supply, but seemed to come from outside myself, from a seemingly unlimited supply. Sometimes it even began flowing all by itself. Often, I could observe it flowing through my arms and out my hands and sometimes flowing through my aura. It was a very wonderful and pleasant experience. When I looked psychically at the energy, I could often see it as thousands of small particles of light, like "corpuscles" filled with radiant Reiki energy flowing through me and out of my hands. It was as though these Reiki "corpuscles" of light had a purpose and intelligence, traveling through me to heal some part of myself or the person I was working with.

When meditating on the Reiki energy, I would often become filled with joy and be uplifted, often feeling that I was completely cared for and without a worry in the world. From these experiences, I knew that Reiki was something special. It was much more than the simple ki that I had previously learned to generate and move with my mind. This was an energy that came effortlessly and rather than needing to be guided by the mind, it was guided by a higher intelligence! Reiki heals by knowing where negative ki exists in the person's subtle energy system. It flows to these areas, where it changes the vibration of the negative ki. This is usually done by raising the vibration until the negative ki cannot hold on to the area it is attached to and is released. Other times, the negative ki may be reprogrammed by the Reiki energy and transformed into positive ki which restores and maintains health. When the body is weak, from a healing crisis or from an extended illness, Reiki can provide the body with a very nurturing supply of ki that supports the organs in their return to healthy functioning. On a deeper level, Reiki can and often does reprogram the person's subconscious mind, releasing negative thoughts, feelings and memories and even balancing karma that had been responsible for creating negative ki, thus healing at the level of cause and creating a permanent healing!

Because Reiki is guided by the higher power, it cannot do harm and always works for the positive benefit of the client. It is a very simple technique to learn and use and can be easily learned in a weekend class. A treatment always creates benefit, which can range from simple relaxation and feelings of well being to miraculous results. Occasionally, amazing healings have come from people who have just taken their first class! This is one of the remarkable things about Reiki; it does not take special ability nor does it take years of practice. Anyone can learn it in a day or two and experience effective results immediately! The special nature of Reiki energy has been continually demonstrated to me over and over whenever I have used it and frequently, other Reiki practitioners have concurred with this idea as well. I became a Reiki master in 1989 and began teaching Reiki. At that time, I had been working with two clairvoyant healers who had remarkable abilities. They could each clearly see the aura and chakras, communicate with ones guides and higher self, see and communicate with angels and other spiritual beings and analyze ones subtle energy field in great detail. They could see and move negative ki with their minds and do healings from a distance. Their metaphysical diagnosis was always very impressive in terms of its accuracy and I would often be given a much deeper and more detailed understanding of my own energy state and what I needed to do to heal more deeply whenever I received an energy field reading from them. They also had the ability to easily generate very strong ki and use it to heal.

When I became a Reiki master, I offered them the training free. Later they told me that they had attended just to support me in my new work, as they believed they already had highly developed healing abilities and did not think they would benefit by receiving Reiki training. However, after the attunement, they both stated that it had been a powerful spiritual experience and they both felt they had received a deep healing. Then, when they began using their new Reiki energy, they were even more pleasantly surprised. They said that Reiki was a new energy they had not been aware of before. They remarked that it would begin flowing all by itself and did not require them to develop healing energy by meditating or through the use of their minds. They also said it seemed to have a mind of its own and had such a high frequency that it could go anywhere and did not have to travel through the energy meridians of the body, but just went straight to where it was needed, going right through bone, muscle and other tissues. They were very happy that they had taken the class. Even though they were highly skilled healers before taking Reiki I, they felt that their healing abilities had been noticeably improved!

Reiki is a healing energy that comes from and is guided directly by the higher power. This higher power can also be called God, the Supreme Being, The Universe, The Universal Mind, All That Is, Jehovah, Krishna, Buddha, The Great Spirit, etc.

We live in a world where a full range of experience can take place from the very positive to the very negative. People sometimes have joyful experiences and are filled with love, peace and happiness, and at other times can be unhappy with varying degrees of pain, sadness and despair. Others seem to live in a relatively neutral and gray sort of world, half asleep and not really feeling much of anything. This range of personal experience is taking place because of the way we use our free will. Since we have limited awareness and understanding, we do not always make the best choices. Sometimes we act out of fear, and often our selfish ego centered side takes over and begins directing our thoughts, feelings and actions. When this happens, we move away from wholeness and create imbalances and distress that have a negative effect on us and those around us. At other times, we may allow our lives to be directed by our spiritual core and this is when healing takes place and our lives move toward harmony, joy and peace.

So, we live in a world that seems to see/saw back and forth between wholeness and discord. While this is taking place for most of us, there is another part of the universe, which is really just a state of mind, where this see/saw effect does not take place and only wholeness exists. In this place there is only harmony, peace, love and joy. This is because all the beings in this place have surrendered completely to the higher power and it is the higher power that directs their minds and actions and all that they do. This place is also filled with many different kinds of ki, which is also directed by the higher power. This higher dimension has been recognized by every religion and spiritual path. Young children are aware of it and so are many adults, and others get glimpses of it from time to time. It is also a state of consciousness that many have entered briefly and a few have entered permanently even while still in the physical body. This is the place where Reiki energy comes from, a higher dimension where all is at one with the higher power. This is the great beauty and value of Reiki. It connects us to the part of the universe where all is guided by the wisdom, love and peace of the higher power.

When we receive a Reiki treatment, we get a taste of this dimension and at the same time, Reiki is pointing us toward a greater experience. If we listen closely to the energy, the consciousness of Reiki, we will realize that it is directing us toward this state of mind and offering the possibility that this could be our continuous and unending reality. Every aspect of our mind, our lives, our entire being, could be continually surrounded and guided by the love, beauty, wisdom, peace and grace of the higher power. It is the creation of this state of consciousness within each person that is the deeper intention of Reiki. As we discover this for ourselves and as we open more and more completely to it, our lives will be transformed.

What I Believe About Reiki by Kathie Lipinski

What I Believe About Reiki
by Kathie Lipinski

As Autumn and the time of many beginnings approaches, it seems a good time to reflect on how my beliefs about Reiki have expanded and changed over the years. I have been working with Reiki now for ten years. It started out as learning a simple healing technique but has blossomed into so much more. Here are some of my thoughts.

I believe that Reiki is different things to different people. It is “user friendly” so to speak and it meets you where you are at in your life. It seems to find you when you are most in need or ready for the next step on your path. Perhaps your soul calls out for a better way. Or your higher power knows you need a change.

I believe that Reiki can be a simple healing technique, a spiritual path, or a personal empowerment journey (or all three combined.) That is why there are so many different schools of Reiki, so many different ways to do it, and so many varying philosophies. It is also why Reiki blends in so well with massage, cranio-sacral work, counseling, nursing, and any other helping or health related profession.

There is no perfect school or right way to do Reiki. Nobody’s Reiki is better than anyone else’s. The journey is to find who and what feels right to you. What philosophy (beliefs) or way of doing Reiki feels right for you? Are you a self-starting type that just needs the information to get you going or do you need a mentor and internship to help you along? Those questions are important in choosing a teacher and way of studying Reiki. Neither is THE way. What is important is YOUR way. How and what do you need to learn? That will help in your choice of a teacher and a school for learning Reiki.

The journey of Reiki is an exciting one. Finding the right teacher is the first step. And finding out which school of thought is another. And sometimes there are detours on the path. Taking a class with a teacher that wasn’t right for you often leads you to another. Or, the timing of the first attunement or empowerment is in divine timing…just when you needed it. Sometimes what is important are the other people in the class. All groups come together for a reason. Shared experiences, common lessons to be learned, or similar backgrounds make for a great class experience. And when you feel comfortable with others, you feel more open and safe to share your story and experience in class. That makes for powerful and healing experiences.

There is no wrong way to do Reiki. It is simply connecting with universal life force energy and bringing it to another. You can use the standard hand positions or intuitively go to the areas of most need. You can also scan. There are no Reiki police watching over you to correct what you are doing. The energy itself teaches you. Hand positions are only a guide to help you experience the flow of Reiki and give you structure when you are first starting out. Once you have experience and trust what you feel, the hand positions are only guides.

Reiki doesn’t do any harm and will not work if harm is intended or negative thoughts prevail. It cannot be used to control people or situations. It works to bring the best result or highest outcome for all. When using Reiki, we only ask for the best outcome possible. We do not know what that is. Reiki teaches you how to let go. Some people say, “this or something better” or “thy will be done.” This helps you detach from the outcome and let higher consciousness or the divine will prevail.

Reiki is for many, a simple healing technique. It is a gentle hands on (or in the aura) technique that brings deep relaxation, strengthening of the body’s ability to heal itself, and a speeding up of the healing process. Used with massage, polarity, acupressure, counseling, or any other healing work, it can be brought in before a session to prepare the room and fill it with Reiki energy. It can also be sent to the client on the way to the session. It can then be used to begin a session by placing your hands on the top of the head and bringing the symbols in. Then the general bodywork or counseling can be done. Reiki can be used anytime during the session. You might feel stuck or unsure of what to say or do next. Using one of the symbols can help you move along and get over the “bump.” I know many counselors, who, during their session, send Reiki with their eyes or from their heart, to the person. Some bring in the mental emotional symbol to help the person connect with the emotion and the issue. Reiki can facilitate the healing. Some massage therapists Reiki a tight muscle or trigger point while they are working.

Once you have Reiki, it actually flows while you are doing your work. It might be that little voice that says, “go here” or “say that.” So, in a sense, it is always on.

Reiki as a spiritual path is a gift for many. What may start out as learning a simple healing technique can lead you to a stronger faith, more connection to your higher power, or a belief system that focuses on compassion and connection with higher intelligence. The Reiki ideals are really guides for living. They can be viewed as a way of life or personal philosophy. Taking one ideal at a time and reflecting on it daily helps you to heal issues in your life. The way of Reiki is about learning to detach from outcome and being fully present in the moment. It is about unconditional love, caring, peace, compassion for all, and trust. One can sense that during a Reiki session. The person giving Reiki also receives. The way of Reiki is also about honoring people’s path. Seeing them as the divine person that they really are and honoring the best in them is evident in the translation of the distant healing symbol. “The buddha (or Christ) in me reaches out to the buddha (Christ) in you, to promote enlightenment and peace.”

Reiki can also be practiced by anyone, regardless of their religious affiliation. One does not have to believe in Buddhism (or practice it) for Reiki to work. It originated with Dr. Usui, who was a Buddhist, so he brought that influence in. But, Reiki is really about unconditional love, healing, and acceptance. It is also about the teachings of Christ and Christianity as well. The Reiki ideals are similar to the golden rule and the concept of loving thy neighbor as thyself. The difference is only who brought it in (or developed it.) The intent is the same. To bring the love of the creator (God, Great Spirit, universal intelligence) to all for healing. And letting go of outcome and trusting in a higher power and intelligence. One can practice Reiki and still keep their religious affiliation or belief system. One does not exclude the other. I know many nuns and priests practicing Reiki and they have found it to be a direct expression of God’s love for all his creations. The simple act of loving and compassionate touch is God’s love in action.

For those who have no religious affiliation, the practice of Reiki can help you see the divine in all.

Reiki as a personal empowerment tool, helps you to be all that you can be. In “The Celestine Prophecy,” by James Redfield, he talks about all our natural human abilities. The ability to know, to sense energy, to bring healing to others, are all normal human abilities. It is simply a choice to develop them or not. Reiki is like that. The more you practice Reiki, the more you get in the flow of life. You learn to sense energy and to sense the flow of life around you. We live in a world of energy and Reiki helps you to tap into that and learn to read it and work with it. That includes learning to sense the energy of a meeting, a person, a situation, and acting accordingly. Going with the flow is not just a cliché.

Reiki also enhances natural abilities. If you are an artist, it helps develop your artistic expression. If you have an intuitive sense, Reiki heightens that. If you have a business head, Reiki can enhance that as well. In the practice of Reiki, working with energy helps you to connect with your path, your skills, and develop your senses. But it takes practice and trusting what you feel.

This is what I have learned in ten years of practicing Reiki. I know there is more, and I am excited about the next part of my journey. How about you?

A Personal Healing Program
by William Lee Rand

Each of us comes into this existence with a unique set of personal qualities that include aptitudes that can develop into skills and abilities. Also there are often challenging situations that affect us. Like the rudder on a boat, our choices determine what direction we take in life and what possibilities we explore and develop. When we are confronted with difficulties, as well as opportunities, it is how we deal with them that determines how they affect us. So it is important that we use our ability to choose wisely. A life well lived is a life of growth, a life of healing and development.

As we look back on our lives, it is easy to see turning points where we made a choice that had a powerful effect on where our life went and who we became. By thinking about our past choices and where they have taken us, it is possible to learn from our experiences and improve our ability to choose. Life is filled with many possibilities, and it is important to realize that sometimes it is the more difficult decision that brings us the greatest benefit.

If you are ill in any way or if you are experiencing any part of your life that is less than what you would like, know that it is possible to change, to heal, and to create the kind of life you want. If you want something you don't have, then the most important thing you need to do is to choose this for yourself. Then take action.

The universe is always in a state of balance. A problem, difficulty or challenging situation cannot exist unless its solution exists at the same time. If you want to solve a problem, the first thing you must do is to decide that you are going to find the solution.

Here is a law of the mind, a law of life that is very important to understand. Definiteness of purpose, sustained over time always produces results. Think about that! It always produces results! This is the most important concept you can focus on in terms of personal healing and accomplishment. If you want to heal, you need to form this into a definite purpose and pursue it with a passion and stay with it until you are healed.

The mind is like a magnet. It attracts what it thinks about most, the stronger the thoughts the stronger the attraction. If you want to heal yourself, or develop any positive quality, it is very important for you to make a clear decision that this is what you are going to do. As you hold this thought in your mind with the definite belief, and knowingness that you will achieve your result, you will attract to yourself all the resources and people you need to create the results you want.

We each have special talents, qualities and gems of value that we may not be fully expressing or perhaps not expressing at all. We were born on this planet to fulfill a purpose and that purpose is to discover our truth, who we are, what makes us unique, take possession of this precious part of ourselves and express it to the world.

Regardless of the life situation you find yourself in, it is possible for you to heal or to improve yourself and your life in a most definite way.

Reiki is a powerful tool for healing and personal growth. Its energy comes from the highest spiritual source and because of this, it will always create the best results for all concerned. It can be used to heal the body, the mind or the spirit; and can also guide us through life. It can help us develop latent talents and improve the quality of everything we do. So, if healing and personal development is what you want to accomplish, if you have not already done so, take a Reiki class.

Self-Healing Program
In developing your personal Reiki self healing program it is important to take the time to try different techniques. As you do so, be aware of the results and if the technique seems to be moving you toward your goal. If it is, continue with it, if it is not, try something else. In this way, you will develop a personal system of healing that is exactly right for you. This will greatly improve your results. There are many ways to use Reiki and I would like to present a few ideas and techniques that are powerful and effective.

Self-Treatments
Use of self-treatments is an important part of any Reiki healing/self improvement program. Set aside 15 to 30 minutes each day to give yourself a Reiki treatment. This can be a complete treatment using all the hand positions or you could use Byosen scanning and treat only those areas you are guided to. While giving yourself Reiki, your vibration will go up and as this happens I suggest you allow yourself to contemplate the various activities taking place in your life. As you do this, it is likely that you will find healthy new attitudes developing about issues in your life, as well as receive creative ideas on how to deal with them. In order to keep track of this, I suggest you get a notebook to write these ideas in and then use them in your action plans.

Personal Healing Alliance
Receiving treatments from others is also important and in fact, this is probably the most important thing you can do to keep your Reiki energy strong. I suggest you go one step further and develop a personal healing alliance. To do this, find someone you can trust who also has a health or life issue they want to heal. Meet at least once a week to exchange Reiki sessions and share what has happened since your last meeting. Form an agreement between yourselves that you will support each other completely in finding solutions to your issues and becoming completely healed. Be willing to share everything and keep what you share in your meetings strictly confidential. Use all the creativity and inspiration that comes up to solve your issues or achieve your goals. During the week set aside time to send distant Reiki to each other. You can also call each other on the phone if something comes up. These meetings must be taken seriously and it is important to focus on the steps listed above and not allow them to slip into just a social event. This is a very powerful process and will bring deep and very meaningful levels of healing.

Reiki Affirmations and Prayers
Reiki can be used in a powerful way to enhance affirmations and prayers. Place your healing goal or desired accomplishment on a 3x5 card. Using energy, draw Reiki symbols over the card. I recommend using all three Reiki II symbols and any others you may have. Then hold the card between your hands and give the card Reiki. As you do so, repeat your affirmation and/or say a prayer giving thanks that your goal has been achieved or that your healing has taken place. Say your affirmation and/or prayer over and over. Do this with conviction at least once a day. You can also carry the card with you and repeat this process whenever you have a spare moment during the day.

Going Aganist the Issue
A process that will accelerate healing is to go against the issue and use Reiki to heal the feelings and energies that come up. If you have a fear of doing something, go ahead and do it anyway - go against the fear. This process restimulates dormant psychological feelings causing them to come to the surface where you can more easily use your Reiki to heal or release them. It takes courage, but it is very powerful. Have a Reiki friend work with you to help if possible. As an example, if you have a fear of public speaking, go ahead and arrange to give a speech. Before the speech give yourself Reiki, and focus on any feelings that are coming up. After and even during the speech, give yourself Reiki focusing on the feelings. Or, if you have a fear of meeting people, decide to attend a party and deliberately introduce yourself to people at the party. Give yourself Reiki before, after and during the party if possible. If it is too scary to physically do it, then just imagine doing it in your mind and direct Reiki to the feelings as they come up. After treating the issue in this way, at some point you will be able to do it for real. When using this process, it is important to use common sense and not engage in any activities that could be dangerous.

Raising Your Vibration
Anything that will raise your vibration will help you heal more quickly. Doing things such as improving your nutrition, developing an exercise program, meditation, getting adequate rest and sleep, massage, yoga exercises or stretching, Tai Chi, social activities and other forms of entertainment will act to raise your vibration. As your vibration goes up, it will be easier for you to gain insight into your situation and create more effective solutions. It will also cause all other forms of healing to work better.

Use of Other Modalities
Remember that Reiki works in a very positive way with all other forms of healing. So, with your clear intention, and the use of Reiki energy you may be guided to other healing resources. Be on the lookout for these additional healing methods. Methods such as other techniques, changes in diet, the use of herbs, and homeopathic remedies, etc. These could greatly improve your healing process.

Medical and Psychological Care
There are many excellent medical doctors and psychologists who are open to alternative healing. If you have a medical or psychological condition, it is important that you get their advice and follow it if you feel guided to do so. If you have a serious condition and surgery or drugs are recommended, it is important to get a second opinion before deciding what to do. Remember, Reiki works in harmony with medicine and psychology and there may be some important and even necessary therapies they can offer. It is important to consider them when developing your healing program.

These are a few ways to use Reiki to create your personal healing program. Your inner guidance and your clear intention will cause you to discover others not mentioned here. Being fully engaged in this process is necessary if you are to derive the greatest benefit. To quote Helen Keller, "Life is an exciting adventure, or nothing at all." You are the one who decides which way it will be for you. The challenges we face in life contain the lessons we are here to learn. Do not withdraw from them, nor attempt to solve them half heartedly, but instead, fully embrace them. Accomplishment of a worthy personal goal brings with it more than just the results you were looking for. It also brings the certain knowledge that we can change and create the kind of life we want. In the end, when we examine our lives, it is not so much what we know in our heads that is important, nor even what we do, but what we become.

Reiki and the Family
by Kathie Lipinski

Reiki is a gift that we give ourselves and it increases for us when we can share it as a family. Not just the typical mother and father and children, but also significant others, and the many people we often consider family.

My first "students" that I attuned as a new Reiki Master in 1995 were my husband Bob and son Johnnie (7). Although they didn't fully understand what Reiki was all about and what I was about to do, they were willing to support me in my journey as a teacher. I cannot begin to tell you the joy that I felt as I prepared them to receive this gift. Tears flowed from my eyes as I attuned them. I felt the joy and the coming together as a spiritual family. The remembering of who we are at our soul level and why we come together in a family was the gift of their attunements.

Later that year, when I attended a Karuna Reiki® workshop, I was told during a meditation that my son Matthew, at 4 years of age, was ready to receive his attunement as well. He has brought much insight ever since (and many laughs) about how to use Reiki.

How we use Reiki as a family is that we pick a time and share Reiki with each other. The boys are much quicker in their giving and receiving since they are pure channels. They feel the energy come in and out. So a typical sharing can last just an hour. We usually scan each other to find the areas in need and then allow the Reiki to flow there.

Whenever I am teaching, someone always gives me Reiki before class. It helps me to be a more clear channel and for things to flow smoothly.

If there is an illness or injury, whoever is available at the time will give Reiki. If we are all available, we give the person as much Reiki as they want. This has worked well with the kids and sports injuries and fevers and colds. We have found that the illness works through the process quicker and injuries heal faster.

A friend of John's recently broke her wrist. He went to her house and gave her Reiki. He is usually shy about sharing it (he's a teenager now) so I was quite happy when he told me what he did! He said she felt the heat and the energy and enjoyed the "treatment."

When one of the boys has an exam in school, we make time to send Reiki to them. We send the mental/emotional symbol for relaxation and clear thinking. A few weeks ago, when John was taking his Math Regents exam, Bob and I stopped what we were doing and sent Reiki 5 minutes before the exam began. John told us later that he felt this energy come over him and he felt really good taking the test. I also send the boys Reiki when they are into sibling rivalry and fighting. Again, I use the mental/emotional symbol to help heal the relationship and ask for the best outcome.

We also send Reiki as a family to other family members in difficult times. When my cousin died this year at 46 years of age, it was a difficult time for the entire family. The boys and I prepared them emotionally and asked that we give ourselves Reiki for a few minutes before we went in. I also asked them to bring Reiki in, fill themselves up with it, and then let it flow from them to our relatives and friends who needed it.

We also send Reiki to anyone in the family who is sick or in distress. We just stop what we are doing, invoke the distant healing symbol, and think of the person or situation and let the Reiki flow. We always ask for the best outcome and let Reiki do what needs to be done.

When Bob has important business meetings, or travels, the boys and I send Reiki for a successful outcome or safety. When I travel to teach, they send me Reiki as well.

What I have found is that the use of Reiki in the family helps us all to be more understanding and accepting and compassionate with each other. It helps us really focus on the love we feel for each other.

An interesting family experience was when I gave my niece a Reiki session (she is 30) and she loved it! I explained what Reiki is and that we all do it. She then said, "I always knew there was something special and different about your family!" That was one of the best compliments I ever had! We have since had many interesting conversations and it brought our relationship to a different and more enjoyable level.

One very special family use of Reiki was by two of my students from New England. They took the Master class in December 1997, and their gift to their family for Christmas was the gift of Reiki. On Christmas Eve, they gathered their family together (mom and dad and sisters), talked about Reiki, and then gave them their first degree attunement. Even the cat joined in! That was their sharing of their love for their family. They have shared it ever since.

Some other ways families can use Reiki is if someone is terminally ill or going through radiation or chemotherapy. The family members learn Reiki and are able to give their loved ones Reiki to support their process. They also have Reiki for themselves to replenish their energy and help them keep on keeping on. It is also useful for someone who has surgery. Giving Reiki before and after helps the healing process and strengthens the connection between family members.

Some women also study Reiki so that they can give themselves and their baby Reiki during their pregnancy. What a gift that baby has receiving Reiki even before it's born!

Reiki is good for all aspects of loving and living together. It helps us to be the people we are truly meant to be. It helps us to remember to be compassionate and understanding and tolerant of those we love and live with.

Follow the evnts of life,
for they will lead you to people
and places
which will further your inner growth.

REIKI

I would just like to add to What Reiki is? I have added articles and written about reiki here is just a little more detail.before I add more meditations for all to practice. For me reiki has opened so much awareness and has kept me on my path so I would like to share what it can do for you.

As we know it is "Universal energy" it is the power in all creation from which life springs forth in other cultures it is known as : chi,prana,or holy spirit.
This power is within all of us we are surrounded by it we are in constant exchange with it.

Reiki is a very old healing art, which was rediscovered in the 19th centuary after long meditations and studies by Dr. Mikao Usui, a Japanese christian monk.

With this gentle therapy-method the life giving energy directed through the hands of the healer to the patient,therefore the healer is just a channel for this energy the reiki energy is lead by its own intelligence and not that of the healer that is why all that reiki brings out is always positive and right.Recieving this energy has warming soft relaxing effect.

We all have fine energy channels,through which Reiki flows or could flow.Unfortunately these channels have become blocked through our upbringing, our pain and lifes traumas.

We feel this lack of energy flow through constant tiredness,lack of motivation,feeling of being unbalanced,tension,unforfilling relationships we also eventually become sick or feel unwell,Our purpose in life is missing our joy and not being able to manifest.

The effect of reiki on the physical level is strong and energizing.The ability to heal oneself is strengthened and supports our immune system.Blockages are released balance returns.A deep relaxation fills our bodies so that the power of the organism
is allowed to flow and new insights surface.In times of stress we can allow ourselves to be carried and supported by this new energy so that peace and calm takes over.

Reiki supports all natural, medicinal and alternative healing methods example Bach flower remedies,Homeopathy,Aura Soma, Accupressure etc.

Reiki works physically,spiritually and emotionally, it serves to heal the whole.Reiki also can be used on plants and animals.it energizes our water,our food,
it harmonizes our world gives us clarity and joy.

Creating Prosperity with Reiki
By Laurelle Shanti Gaia

"Prosperity and abundance are my Divine birthright." How long has it been since you have made that statement? Has it been a month, a year, a decade…or never? Maybe intellectually you know that you live in an abundant universe, but do you FEEL it to be true?

Have you noticed the power of the collective creative consciousness recently? How many reports of troubled economic times have you heard since September 11th? How are such reports affecting you? Are you fearful that you may lose your job, or that your clients will stop coming, or that you will need to work harder and will no longer have time for spiritual practice, exercise or your family? If you have worried or felt fear, let me remind you of something a great man once said; "Just for today…do not worry and be filled with gratitude."

There is a reason Usui Sensei used those words in the Reiki principles, which are a foundation for all Reiki practitioners and teachers to blossom from. He recognized the power of our thoughts and our words. We often forget powerful statements like "thoughts are things" or "where the thoughts go, the energy flows". However, they are so very true. Whenever we create anything in our life, we must first have the thought of it. So it is very important to be aware of what we are thinking at all times. If we allow our thoughts to be those of fear and worry, we are empowering the very things we are concerned about to manifest in our life.

As Reiki practitioners we can accept the responsibility of using what we have learned to help the United States and the world to heal any sense of lack that is pervading the collective consciousness so that we all become the prosperous beings and nations that we truly are.

The basics of thought discipline are one factor in prosperity consciousness, but this becomes even more important once we are attuned to Reiki. Reiki has the ability to help us empower our thoughts, unite the mind with the heart, and transmute our words into pure light, and they become even stronger than the mere thoughts themselves.

I invite you to explore just exactly what prosperity and abundance mean to you. They take so many forms. The first thought that usually comes to people is money, or material things; but we know that loving relationships, spiritual practices, and doing work that we enjoy are also among the elements of prosperity and abundance.

Take a few moments and jot down keywords that describe what prosperity and abundance mean to you. When you have your list, take a moment and "tune in" to each word, one at a time. I suggest that you use the Reiki distant symbol to connect to the consciousness each word holds, and the mental/emotional symbol to help you discern how your thoughts and feelings respond.

For example, take that "M" word … money. How do you FEEL when you tune into the energy of money? What do you THINK about money? Do you feel and think … "YES…bring it on, I deserve to have all the money I need to live in a way that is comfortable for me, and that allows me to share with others." Try saying that. How do you feel, and where in your body do you feel the response to that thought? Is there any uneasiness? If so, where does it come from? Do you hear echoes of "money is the root of all evil" … "spiritual people should work for free" …"only special people have money", etc.

Try the same process with all the words on your list. Here are some phrases you might use. "I love my work", "I have a happy and loving marriage", "My children love and respect me", and "I am worthy of the time needed to nurture myself".

Those things that represent prosperity and abundance are available to all of us, not just special people. We each have within us all the answers, skills, and talents needed to create unlimited prosperity on all levels of our being.

We are each blessed with the creative power of the Divine heart-mind connection, and we can learn to work with Reiki to tap into the unlimited abundance that is our birthright. When we develop prosperity consciousness, everything we need to fulfill our highest purpose comes to us with ease.

We can attract anything we want into our life and truly realize our heart's desire.

Money, love, peace, and joy are all simply energy. We usually think of them only as we know them in the manifest plane i.e. what most people believe is reality. However, all things reside in all planes of existence and in all realms of consciousness. Thus, reality is actually multi-dimensional. What we often believe to be reality is simply a projection of how we are currently working with our hearts, minds and energy. We have power and ability to change anything we have created.

There are universal spiritual laws that govern abundance. Within the essence of these laws is the wisdom that that there is an ebb and flow to all aspects of our life. We can also learn that it is as important to receive as it is to give, and to recognize that we are limitless beings. The importance of holding pure intention that we are attracting those things that serve the highest good is also part of the wisdom. We can only experience prosperity if we have the things in our life that are meaningful to us personally, those things that hold the essence of the quality we want in our life rather than a quantity of something.

Humanity is awakening to a soul knowing of the power of the collective creative consciousness, or mastery of the heart-mind connection. We are learning to create a flow, a stream of resources into our lives, all of which support our Divine purpose.

When we feel constrained, or that what we need is not flowing to us with ease, this is a good time to take inventory. What things or elements of our life are we holding in the present that no longer serve us? When we can identify these things, we can then recognize each of them as energy. The energy that they hold is taking up space in our lives; space that could be used to hold new and exciting things that support us in the present moment.

In letting go of the old, we make room for the new. When we have outgrown aspects of our life, it is time to send these things out into the Universe so that they can serve someone else. This may mean that you sell what you don't need, or perhaps you make donations, or release a relationship or a job. Let these things go, and when the releasing process is complete for the moment, pause to experience how you feel. You have just created space in your life to receive the blessings the Universe has for you.

Be sure that in letting go, you are releasing into areas that you feel in harmony with. For example if you feel you have a lack of money in your life, it can be disempowering to become miserly and spend money on only what you feel you "need". It is empowering to share money, even if it is just a little, by spending it on something that enhances your quality of life. By doing this you are putting energy out that empowers others who are working to help humanity awaken to a more peaceful, joyous, prosperous existence. When you do this you make room for money that improves your life to flow in to you as well.

Now you can use Reiki to assist in magnetizing infinite blessings into your life, in the perfect form at the perfect time.

Create a list of the things that you feel will enhance the quality of your life, and support the highest good of all. If you aren't sure what your list should contain, you can use Reiki to help you. Simply use the same process I defined above. Invoke the distant and mental and emotional symbols to make the heart mind connection with each of the things on your list. Pay very close attention to how you feel when you think of them. What is the energetic essence each holds and how do you sense that they will add to the quality of your life?

Once you have your list, you may wish to enter into a 21-day process of magnetizing these things into your life with Reiki. Each day use the distant, mental/emotional and power symbols by drawing them, or visualizing them, or invoking their names. Once you have called the energy in, hold your list in your hands and send the Reiki energy into it. Now, take a moment to verbally acknowledge all the things in your life that you are thankful for. Let the Reiki flow until it slows, stops or feels complete. Of course it is also important to close the session with a prayer.

In closing I would like to remind you of this thought. Just for today, do not worry and be filled with gratitude for all the blessings that are currently in your life, and that are flowing to you every moment.

HAPPINESS

In life there is only one duty,
And that is the duty of happiness
This is the reason for our being here
But all our duties,
Moral codes,
And regulations,
Do not make us happy
And we seldom make each other happy.
If man is to be good
He can only be so
When he is happy,
When he carries harmony within,
In other words, when he loves.
This is the Teaching
The only Teaching in the world;
Taught by Jesus Christ
The one taught by Buddha
And Taught by Hegel, too.
For each one of us, the most important thing in the world
Is his inmost being,
His soul,
His ability to love.
If this is in good order,
You can eat cake or crusts,
Wear jewels or rags,
And the world will ring in purity with the soul,
Will be good,
Will be in good order

THis has been taken from the literary bequest of Hermann Hesse

UNITY

As soon as we comprehend existance as
being a complex unity
And illness as a developement,
Life will let us go
To wander through higher spheres
Where we will understand that growth and decay
Are but an expression of its unity

OUR LIFESTYLES TODAY

With our lifestyles getting busier and more hectic by the day, most of us hardly have time for ourselves. Lost in the daily grind between office and home, one doesn't realise when one loses out on health, happiness and peace of mind. But it is a loss you don't have to live with. You can choose to change it. Right now!
A Reiki attunement takes you to a higher level of vibration, and just a 20-30 minute reiki practice everyday ensures that you are cleansed of any negativities that the day has offered to your aura. The best part is, the practice can even be split into separate shorter sessions!
Whether it is improving your relationships, getting rid of anger or stress, becoming healthier, helping others or progressing spiritually, Reiki helps, guides and takes you further.

Where does REIKI help in our lives

1.Reiki helps you remain calm and reduces stress and depression levels drastically. It helps you cope with crisis situations in office by helping you keep your cool and think clearly.

2.Working Woman The word 'fatigue' does not exist in the dictionary of a regular reiki channel. You have enough energy to deal with household responsibilities after getting home from work. And remember to give reiki to the food you cook, it tastes better!

3.Reiki improves relationships by increasing your energy levels. If both husband and wife are regular reiki channels, relationships reach a higher dimension and compatibility increases.

4.Reiki helps your child cope with life better. Children are very responsive to reiki and if brought up in a reiki lifestyle, children grow up to be balanced, intuitive and wise individuals.

5.Reiki helps you concentrate while studying and remain calm during exams. Over time, it improves your memory and betters your relationship with your friends.

6.Reiki helps you cope with the changes in life and improves your health.

7.Addictions,Try Reiki! Reiki helps you give up your addictions more easily, not just by increasing your energy levels, but by changing the circumstances around you too.

What is Reiki

I usually reply to this question with another question - 'What is the difference between a dead man and a living one?'.
After much thinking, some reply, 'energy'. And that, precisely, is Reiki.
When we are born, we are nothing but little bundles of energy. No matter how much we get hurt, we heal at a rapid pace. We are never tired. We are always happy, always smiling, and never bored. As we grow up, however, things change. We become physically unfit, prone to depression, and get tired easily. What is it that changes?

As we grow up, we find ourselves more and more exposed to temptations, greed, anger, jealousy and other negativities. Unconsciously, our parents teach us not to listen to our bodies, by forcing us to eat/ do things that we do not want to. All these have a damaging effect on the endless flow of energy that we receive from the universe - it blocks the path.

Think of yourself as a hollow pipe left in the river. As long as the water fills up the insides of the pipe, you are healthy and happy. Negativities, like dirt and grime, settle layer upon layer inside the pipe, slowly reducing the flow of water and eventually clogging it up completely. When this happens to your channel of energy, you find it difficult to be what you were always meant to be - healthy.

Reiki is nothing but the energy which used to fill you up when you were an infant. Reiki healing helps you by providing you with energy, so that you can combat the negative forces within your body and eliminate disease or sorrow.
