Science has now confirmed that there is an energy that permeates our bodies, and Reiki is one way to enhance the flow of this energy. As much as the media portrays wellness as something external, you have the power to revolutionize your health from within. Your body is in a constant state of maintaining balance, and its Reiki energy can fix and repair. Consider Reiki as the intelligent life force that connects you to what you need. When a practitioner performs a Reiki session, the energy emanating from their hands produces a measurably higher bio-magnetic reading than a non-practitioner. Not only is Reiki a wellness system, but it is also a way to increase your awareness, insight, wisdom, and personal growth —as well as reduce stress, fear, and anxiety. And if you think Reiki is a difficult practice available to only a few, think again! It is easy to hone and practice, and it benefits the practitioner as well as the recipient! Think of this book as a complete, detailed guide that will take you through Usui Reiki Levels I, II, and Master. By completing this course, you will be able to perform Reiki on yourself and others. Within its pages, you will And so much more. The media often portrays Reiki as something mysterious, inaccessible, and secretive. However, it is a powerful way of tapping into your own existing energy. You have all you need to connect your higher self with everything around you.
Excellent course. I did the program through Udemy and the information in here is not only enlightening it's healing. I encourage anyone who's interested in energy healing to look into this and invest some time studying the subject and applying the lessons learned in ones life and practicing the skills. You will gain so much more confidence in the ability to not only heal yourself but those around you.
I first encountered reiki when the ex studied it as part of her massage therapy education back in the first years of the 21st century, and consequently I imagined it as a form of bodywork.
So when an old friend who had newly become a Reiki Master (which I am also now, apparently—more below) wanted to practice giving an "attunement" and asked me to be one of his Guinea pigs, my curiosity kicked in and I said sure. He also wanted me to buy and read this book, and I said sure. (I read another book I already had on hand first. Ugh.) He performed the "attunement" remotely—and asynchronously—which made me wonder about the whole bodywork angle. How can you massage someone remotely and asynchronously?
I read this book, and it turns out reiki ain't massage, at all. It describes itself as form of "energy work" (meaningless in terms of physics, more intriguing in the language of esotericism) and is, in very brief, a form of "laying on of hands." Instead of faith healing, the reiki practitioner channels the "natural healing reiki energy" of the cosmos to cleanse and balance their own chakras and those of another. The aforementioned other book teased the reader with mentions of unrevealed symbols; this book, written in the age of the internet, just shows the blessed things since they're out there anyway.
There's a good deal of info in here about reiki as a business, in which I have no interest. I'll stick with it as a form of slowing down, relaxing, stretching, and paying attention to my bodymind, with any putative etheric cleansing and balancing as a plus. And apparently the third attunement made me a Reiki Master, a pupa if not a pupil.
I wrote a long review and it deleted it. Not gonna rewrite it. But this was a great book. Highly recommend it. Has great history, tips, extra knowledge. As a reiki practitioner you can never stop learning or perfecting your craft. Every teacher can teach you something. Take what resonates, leave what doesn’t. Just stay true to the core principles.
