How to increase your Energy with Reiki
Published in the May

Energy? Did you say you wanted/needed
more energy? Well, we suggest you take a Reiki class, become attuned
to the "chi/ki" of Source/God, and learn how to call upon the
'unlimited' supply that is found everywhere and in everything. This
takes focus of mind, a trained consciousness, and awareness beyond our
everyday 'survival' mode. Here are some ways that we all can use
Reiki to empower our surroundings and ourselves. All you need to do is
to practice these techniques to see that they work.
The most
important method for increasing our personal energy levels is to place
the Reiki energy into everything that we take into our bodies.....
food and drink. When you sit down to every meal, take a few seconds to
a couple of minutes to place your hands over or around your plate of
food. Intend and feel the energy flowing into the processed,
over-cooked, and preserved food that you are about to eat. Today's
production and processing methods of foods eliminate most, if not all,
of the energy contained in them. Since energy is accumulative, and it
can be stored in objects for a brief time, it is important to
energize the food before it is eaten. One item on the table can be
empowered to represent all the food that will be taken into your body.
You would draw (small, with the fingertip) or visualize the symbols
being placed into a food item, then mentally say, "By the Law of
Correspondence, this food is stored with unlimited Reiki treatments".
Repeat the symbols for a second time, and mentally say, "By the Law of
Correspondence, this food represents all food that will be taken into
my body during this meal". Hold your hands over/around the food, and
intend to feel the flow of Reiki being absorbed by the food. We also
suggest that you take a few moments more to give thanks for all that
is laid before you; for the abundance that you enjoy, without the
personal effort of growing, processing, storing, delivering,
preparation of each item. Then we add an intent that the benefits of
the food to our bodies also benefit all the hungry people around the
globe. We then strongly suggest that you remain conscious of the
energy being absorbed into your body from the food. This is not the
energy of digestion/assimilation, but rather the energy of Reiki that
has been placed into the food with the symbols. In spiritual
teachings, we learn that where we place our consciousness, there is
our experience; we are only learning to be aware of the energy that is
in food, as it is transferred to your system.
A very good way to
increase our energy level is by empowering/attuning our loved ones
that share our space and energy fields with. This is for the
animal/human/plant kingdoms alike. The empowerment is similar to the
instructions for food (see above paragraph). Scientists/physicists now
know that we share (give off and receive) molecules with all that we
come into contact with, and if we spend a lot of time with our
favorite lifeforms, then it is natural to desire that they be highly
charged with lifeforce so they can be active participants in the
energy exchanges that happen in our daily encounters. If a
practitioner knows the healing attunement that is often taught in some
Reiki branches, or they are able to do initiatory attunements (master
level technique), then permanently attuning animals, plants and loved
ones to Reiki can benefit them and you just by proximity. An
alternate to this would be to hang around other Reiki people; who
hasn't been in the presence of other practitioners and felt the
exhilarated 'high' that comes through association?
And another
sure-fire method for increasing your energy level is to empower the
furnishings that are in your home; your favorite chair, bed, room,
etc. We suggest that Reiki be permanently placed in your favorite
music (tapes or CD's), so that they continuously put off Reiki
treatments as you listen to them. Or, if you are a television buff,
empower your t.v. that it gives off Reiki treatments as you watch your
favorite shows. You may empower your computer
(monitor/keyboard/mouse) so that you receive continuous treatments
whilst you do your work. By permanently empowering your favorite
haunts, and daily re-enforcing them with additional power symbols, you
will definitely feel the energy radiating as you spend time there.
The procedure for this empowerment would be to place the symbols into
each of your favorite items (furnishings/rooms/objects where you spend
a great deal of time) and mentally or verbally say to yourself, "By
the Law of Correspondence, this (name of item) is permanently stored
with unlimited Reiki treatments". Then you would repeat the procedure
for a second time, and say, "By the Law of Correspondence, I receive a
continuous Reiki treatment each time I come into contact with this
(name of item/object) ". Then you will want to place power symbols
into every empowered item everyday, to keep the items fully charged
and to keep the intent in place and working.
These techniques are
secondary to giving yourself a daily full-body treatment. After
practice of these techniques, you will definitely begin to feel the
increased level of energy flowing around and through your body, as
well as an improved sense of 'well-being'. And others will also notice
the energy that you and your space will exude, and they will
eventually desire the same benefits for themselves. Reiki will improve
all areas of your life, and all that you touch, but you must first
become conscious of it in your own personal experiments before you
begin to see the potential that exists for you to co-create every
aspect of your being.
