Reiki
(pronounced RAY-key) is the practice of transmitting healing energy through the
hands. Literally translated, REI is "working with" and Ki or Qi is
"Universal Life Energy". The practitioner is a channel for this
Energy.

of hands-on healing. It utilizes the universal life force energy to heal,
balance, relax and to reconnect your body and soul. You will walk away from your
Reiki session feeling peaceful, alive, relaxed and with a powerful sense
of well-being. *In

History of Reiki
Reiki
is an ancient healing technique that involves the laying-on of hands. It is
thousands of years old and is thought to have originated as a Tibetan Buddhist
practice. It is a very simple yet powerful healing technique.
Please keep in mind that there are many different versions to the history of
Reiki. Following is one version of the history that was told to me by one
of my Reiki Masters. If you
would like to read more about Reiki's history, for a more in depth view, I
suggest the books "Torch in the Daylight" and "The Original Reiki Handbook of Dr Mikao Usui".
Although Reiki is thousands of years old it was recently rediscovered by Dr Mikao Usui in the late 1800's.
Dr Usui was the director and Christian Priest of
a small University in Kyoto Japan. One day, some of his senior students asked
him if he believed in the healing miracle of Christ. He told them that he did. The boys then asked if it was true that, in the Bible, Jesus says that we could
do anything that he could do. Dr Usui answered that this was true. The boys then
asked Usui to show them how Jesus healed by touch. Unable to do so, Usui began
his quest to study the healing methods of Christ.
During his search, he came across some material that greatly interested him in
Buddhist scriptures. Usui was aware that Buddha had also possessed the power of
healing and so he searched for information on the methods Buddha used. In doing
this, Usui learned the ancient Indian language of Sandskirt and studied original
Buddhist texts. In one of these ancient writings he found the symbols and mantras,
which are now used in the Reiki system of healing. However, at that time, Usui
did not know how he should use the symbols and names in conjunction with
healing.
Usui spent a considerable amount of time in a Buddhist monastery during his
quest. He became close with the monastary's head abbot. Per the abbot's
suggestion, he embarked on a 21-day meditation and fast on a holy mountain near
Kyoto. Before he began his meditation on the mountain he made a pile of 21
rocks. As each day passed he would remove one rock from the pile. On the 21st
day he removed the last rock, nothing had happened. Frustrated and discouraged
he began down the mountain. Just then an enormous white light appeared in the
sky. This light moved quickly towards him. It struck him in the middle of the
forehead and he found himself in a deep state of consciousness. During this deep
meditative state the symbols, of which he had seen in the ancient Buddhist
writings, appeared to him. Simultaneously, the application of the symbols became
clear to him and he felt charged with a powerful healing force. At the end of
this incredible occurrence Usui began, once again, down the mountain. In his
haste he stubbed his toe quite badly, causing it not only to throb but to bleed
as well. When he grabbed his foot in pain the bleeding and throbbing stopped
immediately. This was his first experience of such extraordinary and rapid
healing.
For years and years Dr Usui used his healing technique on the poor and the ill
but with unsettling results. After a while he realized that the people he was
healing would remain healthy and would "return to society" but only for a short
period of time, only to return to him months later in the same condition that
they had been before their first treatment. This is when he realized that there
needed to be an "exchange of energy" and a will to be healed. After this
realization he opened the first Reiki clinic. Here, people could come for
treatments and the energy exchange would be to pay for them, whether it was
money, goods or services. Many of the patients would work at the clinic for
their payment. He found that the people he treated were healed and stayed
healthy.
This is where he passed on his knowledge of the healing technique as well. He
not only had clients but students as well. One person initiated as a Reiki
Master, under Dr Usui, was Churjiro Hayashi. All the other's were killed
in World War II.
 Years
later, Churjiro Hayashi initiated Hawayo Takata as a Reiki master. Hawayo
Takata was a young woman from Hawaii. She suffered from a number of
serious disorders, including tumors, and originally came to the clinic as a
patient. For payment of her treatments she would clean rooms, change beds
and do other housekeeping chores for the clinic. As a result of her
treatments she was completely cured of all of her ailments. In 1938 she was
initiated by Dr Hayashi as a Reiki Master of the Usui System. After Hayashi's
death in 1941, Takata became his successor. She would be the only
Reiki Master for many years. As far as is known, she was the only Master until
1976.
She took the Usui System of healing back to Hawaii with her and practiced for
many years. In the last years before her death, she began to train some of
her students to be Reiki Masters. By the time she died, in 1980, she had
initiated 22 Reiki Masters.

What is involved in a Reiki session?
Reiki is deeply relaxing and creates a sense of well-being,
which can increase the rate of recovery. The sensation felt by a recipient of
Reiki is usually a deep feeling of warmth or cool and comfort. I have had many
of my clients explain a sensation of "floating" or of feeling very light with
a deep sense of euphoria and peace.
In your Reiki session you will be asked to lie down or to sit comfortably,
whichever you prefer. You remain clothed except for special problems. As
the practitioner, I will lay my hands on different areas of your body (see
below). If you wish not to be touched I can leave my hands 1-3 inches
above your body. This does not effect the healing process in any way.
I don't use the traditionally taught hand positions very much,
I Directly Know what to do and where to go. The main areas of focus
consist of the top of the head (crown), the forehead, the throat, the heart,
the solar plexis/spleen, the sacral (stomach area) and the base (pelvis).
Other areas of focus include the jaw, the shoulders, the hips, the knees, the
ankles, the feet and the back. Depending on your wishes and my intuition
more may be added, such as the arms, hands or kidneys if necessary. Even
though certain "areas" are touched during a Reiki session, one of the amazing
things is that the Reiki knows EXACTLY where it needs to go. It seeks
out to heal the CAUSE of an illness not just the symptoms.
Reiki is God's Love (Grace) in it's purest form. It is
completely unconditional. Reiki heals the body, mind and soul, bringing
them into harmony and creating peace.
Distant Healing
You can also receive a distant healing. You do not need to be
in the same room, the same city or even the same country. Because Reiki
uses the Universal Life Force Energy that is all around us it can be sent all
around the world, wherever it is needed. It can be done using a photograph, a
personal item from the recipient or with nothing but a piece of a paper with the
recipient's name on it. A distant healing can work just as good as a hands on.
If you would like to try a distant healing please contact me via E-mail.
This is a specialty of Keth's.
All healing is done "for the highest and best good of all with harm to none".
Becoming a Reiki Practioner:
Reiki is transferred to students by Reiki Masters through a series of
Attunements. During an attunement process, the Master selects a series of
symbols, which represent important points located along a person's energy field,
and guides them through higher vibrations of energy. This Attunement process
enables recipients to access the healing energy on their own—and in turn, help
others to access it too.
There are three degrees, taught traditionally.
Some schools teach 4 and some as many as eight degrees or levels. The following
descriptions are one way of describing the four levels of Reiki.
REIKI First Degree:
This is the beginning level. The training includes powerful and sacred First
Degree activating initiations, REIKI First Degree is the basic
level of training that gives a student an understanding of how the system came
into being, the external form of the system, how to facilitate healing for
oneself, loved ones, and others. This is the entry-level training to the system.
With this teaching one can reestablish balance in the Four Aspects of their
Being, commonly known as physical, emotional, mental and spiritual dimensions.
Second Degree REIKI:
This is available to those who have completed the First Degree, have
continuously been using it for a few months and want to pursue a higher more
powerful level. It includes a powerful, sacred Second Degree initiation, which
attunes you to dynamic, multi-dimensional energy keys or symbols. These sacred
symbols allow you to access many different levels or dimensions of energy. A
discussion of the symbols and their origins as well as their precise usage is
given. Specific techniques of absentee healing, personal transformation and
healing mental/emotional disorders are also presented.
Third Degree REIKI:
This level is for personal mastery, personal growth, transformation and
increased enlightenment. It is available to those students who have been
continuously working with Second Degree Reiki and feel ready for the next level.
Psychic surgery and the making of crystal grids are taught at this stage to
enable the learner to remove energy blocks. Students are also taught how to make
an Energy Grid which brings in more light and love to the planet and sends
continuous Reiki treatments as well as a procedure to remove particularly
difficult energy blocks.
Master or Teacher Level REIKI:
This is for those students who wish to teach Reiki. It is necessary that a
continuous use of Reiki and a prerequisite of Third Degree for Personal Mastery
be completed before applying for the Master/Teacher level. In this level, one is
taught how to do attunements, which opens the recipient to receive greater
amounts of Reiki energy. These attunements are initiatory, and are designed
to help you access more energy when giving hands-on or absentee
treatments.
This level requires a deep commitment to the integrity of the system and the
integration of Reiki as a lifestyle. It gives you the complete science for
activating First, Second, Third and Master/ Teacher degrees. It contains advanced techniques in energy
activation, balance, direction and modulation for healing, transformation,
integration and inner-illumination. It is not just a step up in energy, it is a
way of being. The Master/Teacher level is available only upon request and
interview.
Why would a Reiki Master choose to teach more than three levels? The answer we
have found most often is that there is so much wonderful information and many
additional powerful Healing Symbols to pass on to the Master candidate. Rather
than having the Master student apprentice for a year to learn the complete
system, some teachers have chosen to add additional levels to the teaching. Specific lengths of time between classes are usually required to allow the
energy to incorporate within the person and giving them a set amount of time to
practice what they have learned.
Seichim
~ Living Light Energy:
The original full power ancient Tibetan
system for connecting with the Living Light Energy. A healing practice with attunements to different symbols and a different
style of using them.
Seichim appeared in Egypt over 5,000 years ago, reappeared in Southern India
and was perfected in Tibet.
Seichim is the original full-power Tibetan system for connecting with Living
Light Energy.
Through an Initiation procedure - a Self-Empowerment - energy centers of the
head, heart and hands are activated and the student accesses a balanced,
Healing "Sea of Energy". The process is like attaching cable to a television
set. Once installed, a special receiver attracts and translates channels
which were unavailable before. The "cable" in this case is the ancient system
of advanced healing symbols and sounds, a closely guarded secret through the
ages. The student becomes a transmitter of those "channels"
through direct touch or by laser-like projection of Universal Pranic Energy.
Keth received the Initiations through Jaya Tatum and 7th
degree Tibetan Reiki initiator and Tantric master Sunyata Saraswati as empowered
by Tsampa Yeshe Norbu Rimpoche of the Trishu Shambhala Tibetan Lingka
(monastery) of the Nine Fire Dragons.
There are First, Second and Third Facet Seichim Initiations.
Karuna Reiki: Hawaiian influenced Reiki, brouht
to popularity
by Michigan friend Bill Rand after his stay in Hawaii. More on his Reiki web site. Keth and Bill
were friends and did exchanges 15 years ago in Micigan.
Kundalini Reiki:
Reiki integrated with Kundalini energy awakening in the body.
Taokan Reiki: A unique Thai style of Reiki,

Order of Reiki Healers, Taokan Temple International Assoc. Suphan Buri 72000,
Thailand. Keth is a Taokan Reiki Master Teacher.
Sahaja Reiki: A unique innerly guided style of Reiki used by Keth,
activated during attunements with 7th degree Tibetan Reiki initiator and
Tantric master Sunyata Saraswati as empowered by Tsampa Yeshe Norbu Rimpoche of
the Trishu Shambhala Tibetan Lingka.
Keth is a advanced Reiki Master Teacher of all of these Reiki
modalities.
