REIKI POWER SYMBOL and IT’ S USE

Reiki Power Symbol

In the field of Reiki Symbols have a very important role.  They are the very key in Reiki healing.  We need the symbols to unleash the healing power of Reiki.

Types of Reiki Symbols:

There are two types of symbols

1)    Traditional symbols – a) Power symbol – Cho Ku Rei, Sei Hei ki, Han Sha She Zo Nen, Dai Ko Myo.  In these the first three is taught within level 2 in almost all styles of Reiki.  The fourth one is taught only in mastership training in classical Usui Reiki and it is used in Attuning candidates undergoing training in Reiki.

2)    Non Traditional symbols:  They are many, for example Vasuddha, zonar etc, each with its own application. 

Reiki Power Symbol –Cho Ku Rei and its applications

The power symbol whose name or mantra is Cho ku Rei is a very important symbol because it is the one used to start a reiki session and to close the session.  This is also known as the focus symbol.  This is an all purpose symbol which can be used at any time, for any purpose and also everywhere.

The essential meaning of the power symbol is “placing all the powers of the universe here”.  It works like a switch in the hands of a Reiki practitioner. 

Applications:

1)    This symbol helps to focus the energy at one place. Drawing power symbol on any one particular part of the body help to focus the energies on that particular part of the body.  This is helpful in curing or healing not only acute but also chronic conditions which do have a localized effect.

2)    This symbol empowers other symbols.  Drawing power symbol at the start of a session or any application and than drawing or applying other symbols like the Sei He ki makes the other symbols effective.

3)    During a reiki session if you are encountering stagnated energies than using power symbol mentally will clear away the stagnated energies.  Drawing over the walls and roof of a room vanquishes negative energies from the room.  If you want to clean the area around a physical space than simply draw the power symbol just above the physical space.

4)    Reiki works at various levels: spiritual, physical, mental and emotional level and power symbol gives protection at all these levels.

5)    Applying power symbol to all food items you consume whether liquid or solid like tea, coffee, or any thing like bread, idli or any staple type of food makes them tastier and healthier.  Applying this symbol to water and than drinking will help you in a profound way.

6)    Applying power symbol to all the medicine you are consuming makes them more effective and also minimizes the side effects which might assosciated with those medicines. 

7)    Drawing power symbol over the visiting cards, greeting cards or letters   or any document to be handed over the other person will enhance positive relationship at all levels, professional and personal.

8)    The power symbols assists in achieving instantaneous connection the universal energy and oso using the same helps in preventing the occurrence of bad events or misfortunes.  Inharmonious negative energies around us are the main reason for the occurrence of misfortunes.  By applying power symbol on self or others occurrence of misfortunes is greatly reduced.

9)    While using affirmations using the power symbols empowers the affirmations and makes them more effective and thus it proves itself to be a law of attraction focussing tool.

10)   At the end of a healing session or any type of application using the power the power symbols closes the session.

Regarding the application of Cho Ku Rei or the power symbol we can go on writing about million of application and a few interesting of them I will discuss  in another post in the near future.

DOES REIKI THERAPY REALLY HEALS?

            It is now 10 years since I underwent My Reiki training and also started to practice as a profession.  Even now whenever I happen to meet someone who has come to know about Reiki therapy and energy healing in general don’t fail to ask me this one question”Does it really works?” and the word “it “ always refers to Reiki .  People with some idea about Reiki will ask me “will it cure cancer? Will it cure epilepsy? Will it cure uterus fibroid? The list is endless.”  My answer is it will cure or at times it may not cure. 

My Experience in Reiki Self Healing

From the day I was attuned to healing I have never spend a single day withoout practicing self healing.  What benefits   have I enjoyed?  First it will be appropriate to mention the disease I have been suffering

1)Hypertension, 2)Diabetic type 2,  3)Multiple types of allergies, 4)joint pains and bone weakness, sinuses, glaucoma , 5)psoriasis, 6)Acid reflux.

After started to practice self healing slowly I started to get food relief from ailment

1)      Hypertension:  Within a few weeks I started to expedience  good relief before Reiki b.p was always above the upper limit inspite of taking one Amlong A morning and night.  But now only one Amlong A at night time but my b.p is nowadays within the prescribed limit. 

2)      Glaucoma:  Great heavens it is completely gone.Okay.

3)      Diabetic type 2:  I have great experience in this Initiallly and upto 201 December I had completely fgiven up sugar, sweets, etc, I was adhering strictly to the diet plan but sugar level was always near the upper limit.  But after minimizing salt intake starting from dec 2017 sugar level is always in the middle of the upper and lower limit

. 

4)      Allergies.  Effects of allergies have been minimized but not complete relief.

5)      Joint pains and bone weakness.  After starting self healing joint pains got minimized to a large extent let me say around 90^.  After I started to consume Ragi porridge without salt in the morning and wheat based foods without salt in the night time, bones have become stronger.

6)      Sinusitis: Almost gone except for an occasional bout which I am able to control with reiki

7)      Psoriasis:  Cured completely nowadays I don’t suffer with the same.

8)      Acid Reflux:.  Still it is considerable it is because I am under compulsion to eat spicy food items.

Now having told you about the benefits of Reiki self healing I have enjoyed, I think it will be appropriate for me to tell my experience about my administering Reiki Therapy to a lymphatic cancer patients.The patient was an 80 yrs old lady who had already undergone surgery for colon cancer, nearly 6 yrs after surgery    she developed lymphatic cancer and when her son contacted it was two year old.  She was unable to move swalloing even a bite of food had become a tough job for her.  After 5 days of continuous Reiki touch healing she started to experience resonable relief.  This was followed by daily distance healing and a fortnightly personal touch healing.  Guess what she started to eat considerable food without much difficulty.  Earlier she used to lie like a dead body, but now she was able walk around the room with someone holding her hands.  Two years after I started healing her she passed away.

 

The Probable Reasons for Reiki Failing to Heal.

1) Divine will and karma they have a major role

. 

2) Diets:  This is a vital factor and has a tremendous impact on the efficacy of Reiki healing. 

3)Exercise:  For many diseases expecialy life style diseases like diabetes, exercise has a vital role in the patient’s recovery.  While undergoing Reiki healing if the patient musters his will power and starts to exercise along with good diet, miraculous healing can be experienced.

Ultimately I must say that Reiki has its own way.  We will be starting the entire therapy session with some expectation but what we get might be a different but I will boldly say that Reiki will help you.  In this regard I will like to quote something I have studied in a book titled as “YOUR REIKI TREATMENT –how to get the most out of it.”  Written By Bronwen and Franz Stiene-

After Jenny studied Reiki, she enthusiastically began to offer treatments to her friend and family.  Jenny’s dad had recently dislocated his knee and was having trouble getting around- she thought he would be a perfect candidate.  He was unsure about “this Reiki thing” but said he would have a go
Jenny sat next to his chair, asked him to relax and ploaced both her hands on his troubled knees.  She did this for half an hour once a day for three consecutive days.  At the end of the three sessions she asked her dad whether there was any improvement in his knee.  He disappointingly shook his head and then remarked, “But I can sure hear better now”’. 

  This is the benefit of Reiki and the Way of Reiki

REIKI THERAPY SESSION - WHAT TAKES PLACE IN A REIKI SESSION

Wonderment about Reiki Therapy Session

What happens during a Reiki session?

What the healer does during an healing session?

What the healee does during a healing session?

Out in town, even  these days, When the noun “ Reiki “ has become a household word people are very curious to know what a Reiki healer will do during a Reiki healing session.  Many people are thinking that something strange and outlandish might be getting performed.  Many people even think that a Reiki healer might be healing people like Jesus Christ has supposed to have done i.e once the patient comes to my clinic and just touch the tip of my shirt and getting cured.  Never Never I can do such things.  Not only me practitioner of any type of healing system won’t be able to do such things.

Portrayal of A Reiki Therapy Session

Once the client enters into the office of the healer, he will be provided with a comfortable seat and the healer will start to speak about clients problem.  The healer will ask about the following

1)      Problem of the client

2)      Medical diagnosis and treatment undergone and undergoing

3)      Surgeries undergone in the past

4)      Family medical history

5)      Lifestyle: Food habits, exercise, other habits like smoking.  Whether there is physical exertion in day to day work or job which requires very little of physical exertion but a lot of brain work.

6)      You will be asked to submit all the details in written form

  After this the healer will once again explain what Reiki is and what can be done. 

 Reiki Therapy Administration

Once you give your consent to start the session you will asked about your preference for a silent environment or a healing musical background environment.   The healer will advice you to speak in low volume hushed up tone to express any discomfort you may feel during the session.  Then he will do an aura scanning and cleansing.  After this you will be asked to lie down over a couch.  First the healer will start the session by applying the symbols over your body.  Then the healer will place or hover his palms over your eyes, then over your head, backside of your head, ears, than dental system.  This the healer will do according to the style of Reiki training he has undergone.  I have undergone training in classical Usui Reiki in which laying hands on 13 position is a must.  Apart from that I will administer touch healing at various points which I consider as vital.  Suppose if you are having knee pain in your right knee than the healer will administer healing at that point by laying or hovering his palms over the knees and adjacent areas.In this aspect the healer relies on intuitive guidance.  After completing the placing of palms at various positions the healer will apply the power symbol to bring the session to an end.

After the Session. 

Once the session is completed the healer will ask the healee how he/she is feeling and also do an aura scanning to see the improvement made during the session and perform another aura cleansing in order to remove debris in your aura.  He will also give advice about what to do like drinking more water, eating more wheat based foods for supper, why acid creating food must be avoid.  He will also advice about continuing any medical treatment you are undergoing.  This how a typical Reiki therapy session takes place, nothing strange and outlandish. 

ROLE of AURA SCANNING and CLEANSING in REIKI THERAPY

What is Aura?

The moment we hear the word body we think about the physical which we can see with our eyes, touch with our hands , smell with our nose.  And if I say that we have one more invincible body than you might think “this guy needs to be admitted in a mental asylum” or “now one more charlatan trying to take money by saying something sounding esoteric”.  But wait, what I am saying is hundred percent truths, because you can with some training and practice “see” that invisble body or feel the same with your hands.

Now this invincible body is not in a remote corner but it is surrounding you like your skin system surrounding you and containg all organs, bones, tissues, nerves, blood, etc, inside it, this invincible body contains in it our visible physical body.  When we look at this invisible body you percieve it as emanating from the physical body and this is known as aura or aura body.

Importance of Aura Body. 

The aura body has a major role in the life an individual, because diseases in fact start at the aura level. Whenever we visit a relative or friend fallen sick we can most of the time hear them saying “even last Week Friday I was alright than from Sunday , started to feel very weak…………….”.  This is because disease had started in the aura body appooximately from Friday late evening or satureday and it had manifested at the physical level only at a later time.  If our aura bodies are kept clean and strong (In another post I will explain how to do this).  Please remember you have to take care of the physical body also.

What happens to aura body during sickness?

Sickness will affect the aura body in two ways:

   1)      Depletion:  In this energy level decreasses at the pont of affliction and if we sense it with our palms we can feel a hollowness or emptiness over the point of sickness let us say knee pain if we scan the aura we will feel an emptiness or hollowness over the knee but in the adjacent areas the lenth of the energy body will be longer. 

22 )      Some sickness is caused due to excessive energy accumulation in oneplace.

Depletion or congestion both lead to disease.  So we have to smooth out the aura body so that the energy levels become even and optimal.

Scanning and cleansing the aura

Once a person becomes sick and wants to undergo energy healing like Reiki or Pranic healing the first step is to scan the patient that is to move the hands near the patient’s body and feel for depletion or congestion.  After this stage one must remove the excess energy manually bey moving our hands in certain methods (this is a topic I will discuss in another post) and this is known as cleansing.

 

Importance of aura scanning and cleansing

By scanning the aura we can know exactly to concentrate more and where we can concentrate less there by we can save time and also the patient gets maximum benefit > once points of congestion and depletion are known Job of healing becomes easier.

Aura scanning And cleansing before Reiki therapy session

After scanning by moving hands over the patients body in specific ways the excessive and unwanted energies are removed and we can do the energisation or flowing the Reiki energy can be done.  This is like cleaning a dirty vessel before pouring milk in it.  If we do Reiki energisation without scanning and cleansing the aura it will take more time to heal as “Reiki energy will be used to disspate negative energies from the aura body.  So by way of aura cleansing we make the job of healing a easier one.  This can be compared with manual cleansing of a car to remove heavy dirt from the body of the car and than giving it a wash with water.  

Aura cleansing after Reiki therapy session

Doing another aura cleansing after the healing is like applying a polish over the body of the car.  Doing a cleansing after a Reiki session helps to seal the positive energies and also helpt preent the debris once again into the aura body..

After reading this article I am sure I you have got a good idea of the importance of aura scanning and cleansing in Reiki healing.If you have any doubts than you feel free to contact me through the comment facility

REIKI THERAPY SESSION -- WHAT TO EXPECT

Now to speak about what you can expect by undergoing a reiki healing session.  Reiki therapy can be administered by any person trained In Reiki and the healer can be of any back ground, he or she might be well qualified doctor in Western Medicine or a practitioner of alternate medical system like Ayurveda, Homeopathy, Unani or, Siddha, etc or a qualified nurse or somebody without any medical background, might be your friend or a neighbor.  Every session is unique to every individual.  Yourself and your friend might be undergoing Reiki healing for influenza, you might be requiring one hour of treatment but your friend might be requiring more that or lesser than that.  

How to Select a Reiki therapist?

It is always better to make a survey of Reiki healers available in your area.  First see for their credentials.  Whether the healer is a practitioner or healer cum trainer.  A practitioner level healer is enough for healing purpose.  Also see to it that the clinic of the healer is near your work place or your residence.  You can also undergo healing by nn professional practitioners if you desire so  and if one of them is well known a friend or relative that itself will help to enjoy good healing session as you can frankly speak with them about your fears worries and expectation

Envirionment

Some healers prefer a musical bacground while administering a therapy session.  Some prefer absolute silence.  But nothing wrong if you tell them your preference of either silent environment or musical background the therapist will definitely oblige to your request.

What information to be provide to your therapist.

Before accepting to treat you the therapist will conduct an interview in which he/she will question you abour problems, your life style any interpersonal problem both at work and in home.  Healer will be serious about going through any diagnostic resport you have undergone and the advice given to you by your doctor. Therapist also will like to know about your expectation regarding the outcome of healing sessions.  If you have any specific expectation than please inform the practitioner.  Practitioner will also explain to you what is going to be done during the session both what he is going to do and what you are going to do.  Almost many healers nowadays ask to give a written description of the problems experienced by the client

Whenever I accept to heal a ptient I ask them to come for the session clothed with loose fitting cloth.  Once I make tjhem to lie down I ask them about their preference for touch healing whether they won’t mind my hands actually touching their body or whether I can hover my hands over their body.  For women I alwaysprefer to hover my hands over their body because in India women don’t like the idea of men touching their body for any reason.  So before undergoing a session decide whether the healer can touch you or not and inform about the same

What you Might Experience during a Reiki Therapy Session

What is done during a Reiki therapy session?

During a session a healer will touch at certain number of positions in your body starting from the crown to the toe.  At every position the healer might put his hands for three to five minutes or according to necesity it might be for more length of time

What will be experienced?

Every patient will undergo unique experience.  Some people will feel heat in the hands of the healer.  Some people will experience a wam flow in the point of affliction, coolness, vibration or nothing will be felt but healing will be occuring this we call as neutral state. Frequently the patient will experience what is called as “Phantom Hand” effect of reiki.  Healer will be placing his hands over your eyes but you might experience some sensations over your left knee or any other place, because Reiki has an intelligence of its own and it will go to places where it is more required. 

In case of acute problems patients might experience immediate relief, but in the case of multiple or chronic problems or both types of  poblems  combined together it takes quite a long time at times for weeks together.  In such situations my strategy is to advice my clients for five continuous sessions and from sixth day onward regular distance healing and multiple times a day.  I have found this strategy to be very very beneficial. 

What to do during the session?

After lying down flat on your back you simply close your eyes and keep your entire body in a relaxed state both mind and body, if you are interested you can recite prayers in a low volume voice or better mentally.  During the session if you feel any discomfort you can adjust your position and you can also speak to your healer in low voice.  Actually with the progress of the session you will experience wonderful relaxation. 

After the session: 

Once the session is over the healer might give you general advice like what to eat and what not to eat and about changing life style and habits which you have to consider seriously and put into practice.  Normally after the session patients will fell refreshed.  But after sometime or in some case tiredness will be experienced and this is an issue about which we need not worry as this may be due to bodyss natural response to healing.Mostly people report about their having more calm then before and also experiencing more mental clarity and sleeping better than before.

REIKI TRAINING: VARIOUS STYLES OF REIKI COURSES

Out under the sun every one is aspring to enjoy radiant health  and in his quest for optimal health  he searches cheap and best ways to develop his health.  In this process he comes to know about Reiki and starts to gather information about Reiki training courses in his residential area or in nearby areas.   Once he starts to search the internet as well as through other sources of information he comes to know that Various Reiki masters offer courses with a lot of variation in course content.  And then the eager health aspirant starts to wonder which course to join.  Now in this post I am going to discuss about various styles by various Reiki master healer/trainer.

  

Different Styles of Reiki Training

Different Reiki masters have different styles of training a candidate to become a Reiki healer.  Out of all these training methods.  I will like to first describe about classical Usui Reiki system in which I have undergone training and practicing.  Level 1 training lasted for three hours first I was taught to do rhythmic breathing, than a syste m of simple meditation (counting numbers in descending numbers for example 50 , 49 and upto 0. And than thanks giving to God, reiki, trainer and self, than I was given the so called Reiki attunement, while undergoing the attunement process, I felt an intense vibration between both palms.  After this I was taught the various hand positions meant to treat myself as well as others and the fiver precepts as formulated by Mikao Usui..  In the second level training i was attuned  to the three Reiki symbols 1)Cho Ku Rei, 2)Han Sha She zo nen, 3)Sei Hi Ki.,  Distance healing , goal programming and other applications were also taught.

Various Reiki |Training System

There are courses in which the level one and level 2 are taught continuosly on a weekend and some masters are also giving master training on the 3^rd day or within one week time. My humble suggestion is never join such courses.  Join courses with 21 days compulsory self healing period  between every level 1 and 2 and after level 2 also you must observe a compulsory 21 days self healing period.   For master training better you heal at least 100 patients and 100 problem solving before you think about master training. 

Any training program of short duration like 2 hrs or 3 hrs is not  a god idea.  In such courses you will be just given instruction and even your first case of healing you have to without guidance.  In courses of one or two day duration there will be sessions meant to heal your fellow students.  Similarly the course must also teach you all about chakras and how to utilize them in healing.  Importance of auras, aura scalling and cleaning must also be taught .  There are some masters who say aura scanning and cleaning are not essential because energy will take care f every thing..  but I am telling you from my personal experience that this not a good idea.  First aura scanning and cleaning followed by generalization is the best course of action if you need a good healing. 

Normally in short duration courses aura scanning and cleansing are not taught and with progress o of time you will start getting frustrated as you will not get satisfactory level of healing.  You also won’t be taught anything about aura body and why it is important  in healing. The training which I underwent is of 3 hrs each level and Itill this day I am repenting for the same, but later on I learnt aura scanning from books and websites  .  Only after I included aura scanning and cleansing both in self healing as well as healing others I started to get good results.  Also if meditation and simple breathing exercises than certainly it will be very useful.

Conclusion

Now I have told you about the various Reiki training courses that are available under the sun and also my personal experience.  Now it is time for you to sign up with a good Reiki master, undergo training start practicing and thereby start living more peaceful and prosperous life.  Your practice must be regular to enjoy maximum benefits, if you are regularly irregular than you won’t enjoy much benefits.

REIKI- COMPARED WITH OTHER ENERGY HEALING TECHNIQUES

Man in his attempt for enjoying radiant health devised many a way to develop his health.  These ways can be classified into two.  1) Physical healing 2) non physical healing.  Physical healing includes all type of medical systems like the western medicine, ayurveda, etc In the second comes various energy healing modalities like Reiki, pranic healing , siddha science , etc..  In this post I am going to compare prevalent energy healing systems which are widely popular throughout the world.

THE MOST POPULAR HEALING SYSTEM

Reiki:   

There are many styles of Reiki and among them “Clasical Usui Reiki “

is the most widespread and this is the one I am also practicing right from year 2010 october onwards.  This is a system of energy healing which is very easy to learn and practice

Training methodology:

Any  person aspiring to become a healer in this style has to undergo training at three or  four level

11)     Level 1:  In this level the student is subjected to what is known as attunement.  In this process the trainer or Reiki master creates a link that is permanent between the student and the Reiki energy.  Once attuned the student is always attuned.  In this stage self healing alone is adviced even though the student can heal others also.  Undergoing attunement process is a wonderful one.  It helps to make a before and after observation.  After the training session the student has to administer swelf healing as many times as possibe with a time interval of approximately two and half hours gap.  The next 21 days the student has to make a compulsory practice of self healing and this period is known as the 21 day cleansing period which is very vi

22)  Level 2: This is a very important stage.  In this stage the student is attuned for doing healinggat an advanced level.  The student is given three symbols and their name.  With these three symbols the student has to perform self healing or healing others.  The most important part of the training is that it enables the student to perform distant healing.  After level 2 attunement there is a quantum jump in the energy levels of the student.  Any person who has undergone this training can call himself a practitioner or healer.  After this training the practitioner can also administer healing for financial problems , human relations problems  and do goal manifestation programs either for himselff or for others .

3)    Lever 3 or Master training:   Many Reiki masters have the policy of further dividing this level into two subdivisions Level 3A and 3B.  IN level 3A the candidate is attuned to another asymbol known as master symbol .After this training along with the previously given 3 symbols the student can now use the master symbol also in self healing or healing others but he cannot train others  as healers. In level 3b the student is taught how to train others.  Other masters who don’t follow this policy streaight wasy train the students to train others also. 

A 21 days cleansing period is mandatory after level 1 and level 2.   After mastership training (master healer cum trainer) a one year period of shadowing is essential.  In another post I am discussing about various other styles of Reiki

Pranic healing

This is a system of healing which is much prevalent after Classical Usui Reiki. 

This system of healing was created and popularized by Master Choa Kok Sui a Filipino.  I have attended the basic pranic healing course and it is really very effective. Master choa has borrowed various techniques from various tradition of healing and made it into a single whole system of healing.  For a person to qualify as a pranic healer he or she has to complete the following three levels

11)      Basic level:  At this level the student is taught what an aura is how to scan the aura and find out what problem the patient is suffering with and also how to clean the aura.  What congestion and depletion are? And how to manage them.  Distance healing, distance aura scanning, are also taught at this level

22)      Advanced pranic healing: .  the main attraction of this course is that the student is taught to use color prana and that is really pwerful

33)   Pranic psychotherapy:  At this level the student is taught to handle psychological issues also.

In another article I will explain in detail about various other levels of training in Pranic healing.

Comparison of above systems:

Both systems are really effective in solving problems of people.  In pranic healing there are many rules and regulations to be followed but in Reiki there are almost no hard and fast rules
