Q. How far
advanced
do you need to go ?
A.
If
your intention is to help you and your family or your animals, taking
first
level is enough.
LEVEL
1)
Learn healing
method and cleansing the energy.
2) Learn to increase the
power and distant
healing.
3) Learn to
change yourself
inwardly,
spiritually guided by higher vibrations.
4) Learn the attunement
process and
teaching method.
Original Usui system was, after
receiving
1st level, the pupil had to practice hands-on for a long
time
and sat the same time work for his own spiritual growth, for many
years.
Also, it was very important to receive
many attunements to increase his healing ability. Only then, he was
allowed to receive the 2nd level.
At level 3, the pupil should
connect to
the higher dimension and always try to receive guidance and teachings
from
there. In this way, you become at one with the high Reiki vibrations,
and
it is important to raise your consciousness high. You use 2nd
and 3rd level symbols.
It is not advisable for
people to
take 3rd level who are only interested in increasing
power.
3rd level should be
used for your
spiritual awareness and growth.
Q. How do
you open your
ability to see aura and feel Ki energy ? Is it possible to develop the
sense ?
A. It
is useful to be a good healer to see the aura and to feel Ki.
First step is easy. Anybody
can do
it.
- Relax the body and mind.
Believing that you
will see or feel. In fact, you are always seeing aura and feeling Ki,
but
you are not aware of them.
- Hands together, praying
style.
Connect yourself
with the Reiki energy.
- You imagine that the energy
is
emitting from
the whole of your body. Rub your hands together until they become hot.
- Relax the wrists. Move the
hands
up and down,
left to right, for a minute. Move hands 10cm apart. Feel the energy
coming
out from the hands. Almost 80% of people should feel some Ki energy in
this way. You may feel some tingling or warmth.
Each person feels differently, when
you feel
these you gaze at the area without focusing. Move the hands closer then
further apart. Keep doing this and gaze at the space between. You can
use
a white of lighter background.
See the energy from the hands and
fingers
in a dimmer light.
It may not be easy at first, but
once you
see or feel, you will see or feel more and more by practice.
Q. What
sort
of techniques
were carried out traditionally ?
A.
There
are not really secret or mystery techniques. Reiki Marathon or Reiki
Circle
have passed to the west.
Most techniques taught in the west
are
for every student. In traditional Japanese Reiki many
techniques
were difficult enough to master if you had not reached a certain level.
Therefore only a few chosen Japanese were allowed to learn high level
Reiki
by Usui Sensei. There are three main areas.
Byosen Reikan-ho
(see this page for photos
and more description)
You should be able to
feel problem
areas in the body or see where they are, and should be able to tell how
many treatments are required for a client to get better.
Your hands should be able to
feel the good
and negative vibrations.
Your hands know or are guided
to where
the healing is required.
There are many more techniques. e.g.
Hatsu
Rei-ho, Nentastu-ho, Chakra breathing, Gazing in minds eye, Chopping
like
a Karate chop, Soothing, Pressing, etc..
Q. Want to
know more
about Symbols ?
A.
Symbols
make the use of Reiki very wide. Especially the Master Symbol, which in
the west is regarded as holy as it is thought to bring down divine
energy.
The symbols are very powerful and have their own powers. However, they
are just symbols, not divine or something sacred. Their use is to
connect
to the High Universal Vibrations.
When your senses rise high enough
to know
or feel the vibrations and you yourself are vibrating with the
Universal
Reiki energy, you no longer need to use the symbols. You must not
mislead
yourself to believe that the symbols alone have the powers and rely
100%
on symbols. You end up worshipping only the images, not reality,
otherwise.
You try to move away from drawing
or using
the symbols when you have developed the ability to use the symbols well
enough. In that sense you can connect to the Great Universal Vibrations
by thought or mind.
Q. What is
the final
goal of Reiki teaching ?
A……….
Level 1… learn hands on
healing
and help to heal physical and emotional problems.
Level 2… learn to cleanse
and heal the past Karma and build up a positive future.
Level 3… learn to live
each day filled with great light.
THEN THE FINAL STEP IS TO REACH
"SATORI"
Modern Reiki way of "Satori" is
not the
same as a religious concept. It is to gain absolute relaxation.
Imbalances
cause tiredness, tension stress, blockages and stagnant energy
flow.
The key is the absolute relaxation
that
can melt the blockages and release them and bring balance. Fear,
sorrow,
anger and negative feelings will cause tension. Tension has it’s own
negative
vibrations. You forget that you are living in the grace of the
Great
Universal Light and it is always guiding you. Believing in the Great
Universal
Light is very important.
Let it guide you and lead your
life.
Universal Reiki and Reiki within
your body
become a symetry. The Universe is you and you are the Universe. Both
merge
into one. These are the final Reiki goals to achieve.
Usui Sensei (teacher) divided his
pupils
into 6 ranks.
Shoden (1st
level) was
the sixth rank. (see this page for Shoden Techniues of
URR old Gakkai)
3rd rank was Okuden.
He set his rank at 2nd
and no one had the 1st rank.
The reason Usui Sensei remained 2nd
rank was that someday amongst his pupils, someone might reach beyond
his
level, he hoped. This gesture was to encourage his pupils to work
hard in many dimensions, especially in spiritual growth. He has taught
the righteous way of attitude in life.
