What Reiki Teaches...

We believe that Reiki is an
intelligent energy; sure, all things in the Universe are but ordered
thought and intent, and by its nature, is intelligent. But, it seems
to us to have the ability to interact individually with each person's
needs and mindset. It knows where to go to open blocks; on any and all
levels of one's being. It knows when to stop flowing so as not to
injure a person; it cleanses, purifies and balances one kind of energy
to all others (physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual). Reiki
works with the intent of the practitioner, for the highest good of the
receiver of the energy. It is usable now, or storable for later use;
it seems to know and work within our concepts of time, space, and
dimension. These concepts and more are taught in Reiki training;
surely it can be defined as intelligent - having the ability to
discern what is most needed and delivering it at a time that is most
easily handled by those who are recipients of it. So how do we learn
how to access and utilize this miraculous energy? By taking a Reiki
class from a knowledgeable instructor, and mentoring with him/her to
learn the subtle nuances of this discipline.
Reiki is one
sub-frequency of energy that makes up the whole of all energy. It is a
higher vibration than most can access without training the mind to
sense subtle levels of energy. It can be accessed by the few who have
disciplined their minds to detect higher frequencies, but it may take
many years of practice. Another way to know Reiki is to receive the "
attunement" and intellectually learn what is known about energy and
specifically Reiki. The attunement is a sort of re-connection to the
awareness of subtle frequencies of energy that exist outside the
sensory input of our physical world. It is a remembering of the
life-force that is the activating source of our life/experience... it
is Spirit that drives our physical vehicles, and it is the purpose of
our creation - to experience our physical planes of consciousness. We
are Spirit having a physical experience.. we are imbued with the
life-force of God/Creator... and we are having a physical adventure
wherein we are experiencing the Creator that exists in all form. So
Reiki is the re-calling of our true nature, and it is the re-opening
to the awareness of the fullness of the energy within our physical
bodies, so we can begin to remember who we are, whose we are and what
our purpose is on this physical plane of existence. As we are filled
more with the God-source of our creation, the quality of our lives
take on a re-newed purpose……to experience life fully, while
remembering that we are Spirit, and as such, have continuance of
consciousness, in or out of physical embodiment. When we have more
Spirit present in our physical experience, we also move toward the
perfect balance that our bodies were designed to have, so we can focus
our attention on the purpose of fully experiencing the impermanent
plane of solid form. In other words, when we consciously work with the
Reiki energy through self-treatments, we access and accumulate
greater amounts of life-force within our being; "healing/wholing" is
more what we were designed to express while in physical form. This is
made possible for all life-forms by the continuing practice of Reiki.
When we humans seek intelligent knowledge, what higher source can we
reach for than the intelligent energy of the Creator itself?
