McKay Yasui it was in fact dr. your soui fashioned the name Reiki Reiki is a two syllable Japanese word meaning universal life force although the proper Japanese pronunciation is Reiki it has been westernized to Reiki ray means universal omnipresent present everywhere at the same time esoterically rain means spiritual consciousness the omniscient wisdom from God or the higher self key is the non-physical vitality that gives life to all living things many cultures understand and recognize the importance of key energy and how it impacts our lives and well-being key energy can be activated for the purpose of healing when you feel healthy and full of enthusiasm the flow of key energy in your body is high and unencumbered life seems easier to deal with and you have a higher resistance to illness and disease how when your key energy is low because maybe you're under stress or feeling unhappy and tired you'll be more susceptible to disease and sickness your attitude will be generally negative and you'll find it difficult to deal with life's challenges keys the very essence of the soul it leaves the body when a person dies Reiki is holistic it works on the body mind and spirit by stimulating a person's own natural healing abilities the blocked emotional physical elements that lead to illness and disease are cleared Reiki is neither positive nor negative it is in fact the highest and most profound vibration of life divine in origin it allows us all to become one with all living things alive in our world Reiki is pure unconditional love and joy bringing all who experience and embrace its principles together in harmony the skills and techniques associated with Reiki are simple and easy to learn small children and adults can equally comprehend and incorporate this ancient form of healing into their lives regular contact with Reiki will bring the recipients mind body and spirit into balance it will also help prevent future creation of illness and disease this concludes lesson 2 please move on now to lesson 3 Reiki 1 lesson 3 how Reiki works the human body is made up of over 50 trillion cells each cell contains of Nissi and wisdom and is connected to the universe and every living thing within it a good analogy is to think of the universe as a huge ocean of water every living thing within that ocean is like a tiny droplet together these droplets make up and a part of Reiki the universal life force Reiki is part of our genetic structure and inbuilt intelligence that energizes the mind body and spirit breaky stimulates growth health life and healing when it is freely allowed to flow around the body it can keep us alive and healthy for over a hundred and twenty years unfortunately bad habits and poor choices result in the flow of Reiki been stifled it is important to note that Reiki cannot be destroyed even when we die in the life force leaves our body it continues to as part of the universe through neglect and ignorance we abuse this vital component of life when the mind body and spirit in harmony the biological intelligence that governs the body's resources and allows it to heal itself and function correctly our intensified reiki is the key that unlocks the body's optimum capabilities there are seven main energy centers in the body that control the flow of the universal life force they are called chakras each chakra is responsible for supplying energy to specific parts of the body when they are blocked or clogged the body becomes sick and the flow of energy is diluted a full Reiki treatment reopens the chakras and rebalances the flow of the universal life force around the body a person will normally need for full treatment on four consecutive days to boost the flow of Reiki energy this will stimulate the body's immune system and natural healing abilities normally the body will begin by cleansing itself of toxins as the poisons are removed the body becomes rebalance then the healing process can begin many cultures have developed techniques and disciplines that stimulate the flow of key energy around the body however Reiki is the easiest to learn and administer the techniques are simple to master the results are profound the seven major chakras the crown chakra shown as white or violet is positioned on top of the head it represents enlightenment intuition and spiritual vision energy supplied to the penal glands upper brain and right eye the third eye chakra shown as indigo is positioned in the middle of the forehead just above the eyebrows it represents psychic perception telepathy and ESP energy supplied to the spine lower brain left eye pituitary gland nose ears and central nervous system the throat chakra shown is light blue is positioned in the center of the neck it represents self expression emotions communication and the creativity energy supplied to the throat thyroid gland upper lungs arms and digestive tract the heart chakra shonas rose and green is positioned in the middle of the chest he represents emotion love devotion spiritual growth and compassion energy supply to the heart famous gland liver lungs and circulation system the solar plexus chakra shown as yellow is

reproductive organs legs and the glands the root chakra shown as red is positioned at the genitals it represents life physical vitality birth and creation energy supplied to the spine kidneys bladder and the super renal glands Reiki is ever-present in our bodies this means anyone can harness his profound inbuilt intelligent energy for healing however without being attuned to the universal life force you'll only be using about 10 to 20 percent of its capacity for healing madame Takata explained it best when she described breaky has been similar to radio waves we cannot see them but we know they're everywhere around us when we turn on the radio and tune into the radio waves we can pick up a signal that signal is turned into a radio program similarly the universal life force is everywhere although we cannot see unless we use Kirlian photography when we are tuned into the energy by Reiki Master we're able to harness Reiki to hear ourselves and others this gift of healing remains with us for the rest of our lives we can only lose it if we use it for negative or destructive purposes Reiki is pure and it needs to be treated as such Reiki is channeled through the hands when you place your hands on your own body or the body of another person for the purpose of healing you connect with the universal life force the wisdom of Reiki then goes to work to bring about healing balance and whatever is needed on a holistic level the best way to understand how Reiki works is to experience it this concludes lesson three please move on now to Lesson four Reiki one lesson for the history of Reiki the Japanese like many ancient cultures use word of mouth to pass their history and practices down from generation to generation unfortunately this led to a great deal of knowledge and wisdom being watered down and lost many people involved with Reiki believe that the techniques we used today for healing were first used in India by Buddha and later by Jesus others look back even further to the civilizations of MU and Atlantis for the birth and development of Reiki of course without written proof we can only speculate how humanity learnt to harness and develop the universal life force what we can be certain of and confirm is that it was rediscovered at the end of the 19th century by dr. McKay Yasui until comparatively recently apart from the tomb of dr. McKay usury in Tokyo there has been very little material evidence of his life and work most written accounts on the history of Reiki declared that dr. Yasui was a Christian monk who lectured at dou Shi sha University in Kyoto one day a student asked dr. Yasuo if he believed the teachings of the Bible to be true could Jesus walk on water and heal people by touch or daesh's Lee questioned if dr. Hugh Tsui himself could heal the sick like Jesus you see we had to admit that this was beyond his capabilities embarrassed had been asked such questions and unable to demonstrate an answer the story goes on to say that dr. yu Suey immediately resigned his post and began a personal quest to discover how he could heal in the way that Jesus had the legend becomes even more doubtful when it recounts how dr. Yasui decided to begin his search for the secrets of healing like Jesus in America namely the University of Chicago Reiki Master William hand has been able to disprove the legend of dr. u su research for enlightenment in America Chicago University has no record of dr. you see we ever attending as a student furthermore there is no record of dr. su ever attending or lecturing at doshu sho University this work by William Rand confirms what many people believe the history of dr. u Suey's life had been changed in color to suit Western society logically there were far too many holes in the legend the life of dr. McKay Yasui Macario surrey was born into a family that had been practicing Zen Buddhism for 11 generation as a youth you see we developed a fascination with all things Western however he never travelled outside Japan after leaving school he went on to study allopathic medicine with several Western allopathic physicians who had graduated from Yale and Harvard University when a cholera epidemic spread through Tokyo Youssou was struck down with the disease during his hospitalization as he was close to death he had a spiritual experience this inspired his soui to study the ancient teachings of his ancestors he joined his n monastery and began reading the ancient Sanskrit and sutras after many years of study you see we found reference to an ancient form of healing further study revealed methods formulas and symbols that detailed exactly how to practice a master this art of hands-on healing however although we had the technical knowledge to practice healing he lacked the wisdom to turn their teachings into reality he needed the key to turn on and activate the power you see we decided to seek the final piece of the jigsaw through meditation taking leave from the monastery you see we set off for the holy mountain of curio ma when he reached the top he picked up 21 pebbles and placed him in front of himself he sat down and began his meditation each day he threw away one pebble for 21 days he prayed meditated sang and read the sutras on the last day as he prayed he asked God to show him the light suddenly a bright light appeared in the sky and came rapidly towards him hitting him on his forehead at the third eye chakra you see was knocked unconscious and whilst in his altered state he saw a vision of the same symbols he had earlier found in the sutras this vision was the confirmation dr. Yoo su he needed he now knew that you found the keys to the ancient form of feeling used by Buddha and Jesus when you see you again full consciousness he proceeded to return down the mountain on his descent he stabbed and cut his toe he instinctively placed his hand on the toe and the bleeding and pain stopped on arrival at a nearby village he stopped to eat some rest he was able to despite having fasted for 21 days eat a healthy meal without any stomach pain the girl who served you Suri the meal was in great pain suffering from a toothache you see we asked if he could place his hands on her swollen face she read and he was able to ease the swelling and the pain rest did you see we returned to the monastery on arrival he found his friend the abbot in bed suffering from severe arthritis once again you see was able to alleviate the pain and suffering you see we called this gift from God Reiki the Japanese word for a universal life force these experiences became known as the four miracles having demonstrated his knowledge and new ability to heal the abbot advised your soui to take this special gift into the slums of Kyoto to heal the beggars he was reminded that is not enough to heal the body it is of equal importance to heal the spirit and mind also this lesson was brought home to him very abruptly seven years later having spent the time giving Reiki to beggars in the slums of Kyoto to get them working he found them returning to him with the excuse it was easier to beg you see we had forgotten a basic doctrine mortified he retreated to meditate once again this time he was enlightened with the five principles of Reiki the rest of you saw his life was spent healing teaching and developing the sue Ichiko royal method of healing you see we had nineteen major students who were all either Western allopathic or traditional Japanese in their practice he knew he would have to develop a method that could be understood and accepted by any religion or culture Reiki was fashioned by your soui to have no dog more religious beliefs attached to it this made Reiki universal ten oh the emperor of japan honored you Suey's work by awarding him a doctoral by the time of his death in 1930 dr. McKay Yasui had initiated all 19 of his students to the level of Reiki Master teacher dr. chu Jiro Hayashi was chosen as the next Grand Master it is important to note that dr. Ussuri taught all three degrees together dr. Yasui was cremated and his ashes placed in a Zen monastery in Tokyo upon the death of dr. Yasui I asked you took over the role of Grand Master he was responsible for training a further 16 Reiki masters and creating a set formula for training Hayashi was born into an upper class Japanese family was a qualified physician and retired marine commander he set up a clinic near the Emperor's Palace in Tokyo called shinonome Aceh each day his students held healing sessions at the clinic or visited people in their homes if they were unable to travel how she went on to write many reports on the system he had developed to treat various ailments special diets were incorporated into his treatments to assist the healing process probably his greatest advancement for Reiki was to discover the importance of whole body treatment and how the universal life force would go wherever it is needed to heal providing of course you applied the full-body treatment this was needed to remove any emotional or physical blocks away Ocala Mora was born on the island of Hawaii on the 24th of December 1900 at the age of 17 she marries Sachi Takata they had a happy marriage with two daughters tragically her husband died at the young age of 32 after 13 years of marriage Hawaii Takata was left to raise two small children on their own the stress and pressure of the situation took toll on their health within five years of her husband's death she was diagnosed to be suffering from nervous exhaustion her health deteriorated to the point where she required surgery for a disease gallbladder however she was also suffering from respiratory problems that meant the use of an anesthetic during surgery could kill her this was an extremely depressing and trying time in her life unfortunately there was more pain and suffering to come after her sister died after her parents had returned to live in Tokyo it was madam to Carter's traditional responsibility to bring the news to them in person after her arrival in Japan she sought help at a hospital in Akasaka it was discovered that she now had a tumor and appendicitis to add to her disease gallbladder and respiratory problems her weight dropped dramatically and her doctor advised her to have immediate surgery that night as she lay in bed she heard a voice saying the surgery is not necessary the next day she was being prepared for surgery she heard the voice again saying the surgery was not necessary ask-ask Takata asked the surgeon if there was another way she could be healed and he told her of the Reiki clinic run by dr. Hayashi the surgeon had a sister who had been there herself and had recovered fully from an illness Madame Takata went to the clinic who received treatments regularly for four months and was completely healed she decided that she also wanted to learn Reiki and set up her own practice in Hawaii against all tradition she was eventually able to persuade dr. Hayashi to allow her to work and train at the clinic for twelve months at the end of this time it was felt that she'd earned the privilege of receiving the second degree in Reiki the advanced practitioners level in the summer of 1937 madam Takata returned to Hawaii and set up her own Reiki clinic she spent her time healing and teaching Reiki dr. Hayashi visit madam to cartoon february 1938 and invited her to become a Reiki Master he said that she had gone through tests and had lived up to the Reiki ideals and principles she was the first woman in the first foreigner to be given this honor Hayashi returned to Japan at the beginning of 1940 Japan was close to war with America dr. Hayashi was aware he would be called up to fight as a man of healing and peace he decided the only honorable thing to do was to precipitate his transition he put his affairs in order I limped a car to woke up one morning I saw a vision of dr. Hayashi at the foot of her bed she realized she must travel immediately to Japan on arrival in Japan she met with dr. Hayashi as he explained his decision to leave this world they spent many days planning the future when Hayashi was satisfied he has safeguarded the future of Reiki he called all his students and friends together at this point he declared madam Tecate successor and the third Grand Master of Reiki dressed in traditional Japanese attire he laid down and allowed his spirit to leave his body madam Takata installed as the next Grand Master returned to Hawaii to continue her teaching and healing this is when the history of Reiki was changed to portray dr. McKay Asura as a Christian madam Takata realized that the American people and the Western world in general would hold certain bigotry towards the Japanese so soon after the war it would be impossible to promote a method of healing with its roots firmly in Buddhism and Japan madam Takata went on to train of the 22 Reiki masters before her death in December 1980 there were two grandmasters installed to continue to Carters work finish Lee for a motto the granddaughter of madam to Carter and dr. Barbara Weber this partnership was to run for only a year until for personal reasons they split up to continue the work separately the Reiki Alliance was formed by Phyllis Lee for a Muthu while dr. Webber set up the a IRA the American International Reiki Association unfortunate like many special things in this world the human ego has taken hold there are now several different associations throughout the world all fighting amongst each other each claiming to have the only correct way of teaching Reiki there was even a system of Reiki now been taught in eleven degrees the latest rumors of an application to copyright Reiki seemed to show how far this wonderful gift from God can be tainted there was only one Reiki no one has the right to claim it as their own it belongs to humanity and to the universe I only wish for the future of Reiki is that instead of fighting and bickering everyone involved with Reiki can begin to come together in the true spirit of healing let's share our experiences and skills so Reiki can be accepted universally as a natural treatment for the mind body and spirit we need to work together to promote this cause it is vital in our own increasingly harsh and violent world that we change the whole psyche of humanity together we can bring this gift of feeling to the world we need Reiki practice and use in every hospital clinic in the world let's spread the word positively let's make a difference let's make dr. Yoo Tsui dr. Hayashi and madavan two cards are proud let's honor their work in their memory let's live and internalize the Reiki principles this completes Lesson four please move on now to lesson 5 breaking one lesson five the five Reiki principles just for today I will not worry just for today I will not be angry just for today I will do my work honestly just for today I will give thanks for my many blessings just for today I will be kind to my neighbor and every living thing the Reiki principles are spiritual ideals by adopting these precepts you will add balance and substance to your life it is important that you realize that you're not expected to live every moment of your life within the framework of these ideals as humans we're all imperfect and that is why each principle begins with just for today you can without pressure or stress work on improving yourself daily if you slip up today you can always begin again tomorrow the more you work with the principles the more you will condition yourself to adopt them as a way of life to become more familiar with the Reiki principles it is advisable to read them aloud at least twice a day you may wish to place a large copy of the ideals in a picture frame then you could position that copy in a prominent place where you are sure to see each day or if you're going to practice Reiki professionally place it in your healing room the five Reiki principals means different things to each one of us meditation will help to unlock your own perceptions simply sit on lie down in a comfortable position and close your eyes repeat one of the ideals several times aloud using it as a mantra as you drift into a meditative state become aware of what's happening inside your mind and body you may experience many different feelings emotions and thoughts if you do this exercise in a group share your experiences and write down everything that happened during the meditation it is interesting to look at your notes on this exercise on a regular basis to see how you've grown by adopting these precepts repeat the exercise of meditating on each principle annually and compare notes or if in a group setting discuss the differences that have taken place just for today I will not worry where he causes stress and anxiety leading to an imbalance of the mind body and spirit and blockages to the root chakra the best way to overcome worry is to accept that all of us are faced with difficulties and setbacks in our lives how we respond to them determines how we ultimately lead our lives if you choose to respond negatively by getting upset and anxious towards one of life's setbacks you have chosen to damage the balance of mind body and spirit if you respond positively by accepting the setback as an opportunity to learn you can live a happier and more fulfilling life and I yourself time each day to really laugh and have fun what's your funny movie or television show read a humorous book or magazine whatever it takes to make you laugh do it Ralph Waldo Emerson said man surrounds himself with images of himself this wonderful pearl of wisdom teaches us that if you want to be happy mixed with happy people likewise if you want to be negative and constantly worrying you simply need to associate with people who are negative and worrisome laughter is a wonderful healer it has been proven through numerous studies that laughter can heal in some cases prevent life-threatening illnesses use this knowledge to live a happier and healthier and longer life take responsibility for how you deal with life's setbacks have fun my as far too short to waste it worrying use Reiki to rebalance your mind body and spirit and boost your resolve place one hand on the root chakra and the other hand on the heart chakra Reiki will bring your mind body and spirit into equilibrium keep your hands over these chakra points for as long as you intuitively feel you need to this Reiki technique will remove the blockages caused by stress worry and anxiety it can be used for self healing or on another person just for today I will not be angry anger is an emotion when we get angry we lose control of that emotion in order to live by the above principle we must understand what triggers our anger and how we can choose to remove this destructive emotion from our being in every confrontation that leads to anger the person or the thing pushing your anger button has complete power and control over you this simple realization allows you to take back control of your emotions and as such you can now choose to respond to a situation in a positive way rather than react to a situation in a negative way every time you meet someone there was an exchange of energy if you're both happy and find the meeting was enjoyable then the energy exchange is neutral however if you lose control of your emotions and become angry the other person has stolen your energy likewise if someone gets angry at you then you are stealing their energy with this simple philosophy you can count to the endless situations or people that in the past has triggered your anger and caused you to react in an unhealthy manner next time someone honks their horn at you or criticized you for no apparent reason smile and say to yourself I'm not going to let them steal my energy just imagine how much better you'll feel when you choose not to react to negative people or situations how many times in the past have you shouted abuse at another car driver and still felt the anger in your stomach at an hour so later that person stole your energy they probably drove on laughing at how silly you looked when you lost your composure you allowed them to cause you stress anger and probably indigestion only one person came out of that confrontation with their energy intact and it wasn't you anger is a choice response decide each day not to allow you energy to be stolen from you by negative people or situations on a physical level anger can cause stomach and digestive disorders choose to live a healthier life free from anger use Reiki to assist the rebalancing process place one hand on your third eye chakra and the other hand on your root chakra keep your hands there for as long as you intuitively feel is necessary this Reiki technique will help you to control and eliminate the destructive emotion it can be used for self healing or on another person just for today I will do my work honestly honesty means different things to different people many people feel it's fine to take home a few pens from the office that can't be turn over millions in profit each year so they can afford to lose a few items of stationery while another person will judge the same incident as an act of theft and believe that anyone found stealing stationery should be dismissed and charged with theft and even prosecuted everyone at some point is dishonest you may not steal from another person or company but instead you'd be stealing from yourself for example if you have a talent to help people and you choose not to then you're stealing from yourself by denying your gift you're also stealing from the person who could have benefited from your talents wasting your time on meaningless pursuits such as watching television for hours each day is stealing from your sacred and special time on earth try to live your life to the best of your ability as honestly as you can honestly lives inside of you and doesn't care about being placed where others can view it finally in the pursuit of a happier life I urge you to encapsulate the worse from Michael Landon the father in the television series Little House on the Prairie in his last interview before he died prematurely of cancer he urged us to live every second place one hand on the third eye chakra and the other hand on the solar plexus chakra to use Reiki to assist in the rebalancing of this principle keep your hands there for as long as you intuitively think they need to remain on these charcoal points this additional hand position can be used for healing yourself or others remember honesty is the best policy just for today I will give thanks for my many blessings life tends to give us what we need it may not be what we want but it will be what we need karmically throughout our lives you receive what we need to grow and learn in this lifetime if we grasp these lessons and grow accordingly we'll become spiritually enlightened instead of wasting your life complaining of things that have happened to you and the problems you face step back for a moment on a regular basis and discover and appreciate the many blessings in your life make a list of all your blessings you will be amazed at how many wonderful things that there are to give thanks for leave the materialistic things aside they are shallow and meaningless pay attention to and focus on the things that are free and bring joy and humility to your life for example your mind/body/spirit health family friends flowers trees see son love faith knowledge the countryside animals birds the list is endless when you appreciate the true wonders of life and let go of the materialistic things you are bound to enjoy your life more place one hand on your third eye chakra and the other hand on the occipital Ridge use Reiki to rebalance this principle in your life when the life of another person just for today I will be kind to my neighbor and every living thing the law of karma states that what goes around comes around send out love and your receive love back in return send out kindness and you receive kindness send out healing and you receive healing send out positive thoughts and you'll receive positive results karma is a two-edged sword send out negative thoughts and you'll get negative results living within this preset will give you a happy unless stressful life full of joy peace and love to bring balance this principle for yourself for others first place one hand on the third eye chakra and the other hand on the root chakra when you feel you're ready move your hand from the third eye chakra to the throat chakra and move your hand from the root chakra to the heart chakra keeping it there until you ensure - you feel you have finished it is important to remember that the Reiki principles are only guides for a happier more fulfilling life use meditation to unlock the true meaning of these precepts and incorporate them into your life they will truly transform your life please remember that they're not Commandments they're gifts of wisdom this concludes lesson five please move on now to lesson six Reiki one lesson six preparing for Reiki one the path to Reiki people from all walks of life for drawn to Reiki for many different reasons many people come to Reiki after personal recommendation from a friend who has already attended a workshop they noticed positive changes in their friend and decide to experience it for themselves a large majority of people simply need healing and want to take responsibility and control of their own treatment and well-being the most common factor seems to be that people are searching for hope and guidance often people feel empty and are looking for a way of filling that void many students begin as skeptics just curious to find out more about it and leavers Reiki enthusiasts the secret to getting the most from Reiki is to be open to Reiki he said I've been negative and skeptical let the joy of Reiki envelop you leave your fears and doubts behind and jump headfirst in to a life-changing experience Reiki draws you to itself if you're attending a seminar or workshop on first degree Reiki you are there for a reason you need it trust in the omniscient wisdom of Reiki remember you will only need the first degree achievement once in your life so make it a celebration you will never forget it's up to you the initiation ceremony in order to work with and become a channel for Reiki you need to go through the first degree initiation ceremony which consists of four attunements these are tumors are normally done over a course of a two day workshop I prefer to do the four achievements at the same time as I believe it's beneficial to the student the energy is stronger and the student is able to work and practice at their full capacity throughout the workshop this process also allows the student to feel sense and experience more of the Reiki energy the four attunements are given on both days of the workshop to supercharge the student and raise their energy vibration to the peak level possible with first degree Reiki we also offer distant attunement service as part of the home study course preparing for the workshop before attending the first degree workshop there are a few basic things you need to do in preparation these guidelines will enable you to get the most from the workshop and the initiation ceremony avoid taking alcohol or any other form of drug for at least 48 hours before the workshop these substances slow and hinder the flow of Reiki throughout the body avoid eating meat fish processed foods or any other junk food for at least 24 hours if possible have a day of fresh fruit salad and vegetables the digestion of food takes more energy than any other bodily function proteins and highly processed foods take more time to digest and was still vital energy from your body if possible meditate each day for a week before attending the workshop this will help to focus your thoughts expectations and mind on becoming a Reiki Channel for healing the morning of the workshop get up earlier than normal so you have plenty of time to prepare for the day ahead you will then have time to relax and not become rushed or stressed if possible take a walk or a gentle jog to energize your system avoid tea or coffee however naturally caffeine free herbal tea is fine eat only fruit for breakfast you will have more energy for the workshop mentally prepare yourself with a short meditation give yourself plenty of time to reach your destination the stress have been late can upset your day and your enjoyment come to the workshop with an open mind body and spirit you will get out only what you put into the workshop what happens during the initiation many people wonder why the initiation ceremony must remain a secret and why the students need to close their eyes during the two months questions like these are quite normal and understandable the reason for the secrecy is to keep the rituals sacred and cherished by the reiki master and their students the eyes kept close allowed the recipient being attuned to go inside and focus on the experience it also helps a reiki master concentrate on what is a complex set of procedures during the initiation the reiki master uses the ancient symbols and mantras holy words to activate and direct certain energies rediscovered by dr. Yasuo to connect the student to the universal life force dr. Hayashi described it - madam - Carter so beautifully when he said the universal life force is so big we cannot measure it so deep we cannot fathom it therefore in Japanese we call it Reiki he continued it is comparable to a radio station broadcasting radio waves everywhere there are no wires connecting the radio station with your home yet when you turn on the receiver and tune into the radio waves from the station you receive what they are sending likewise the principles of Reiki are the same the energy is everywhere it travels through space without wires once you've been connected to the energy it flows automatically forever it is a universal and immeasurable energy and its power is unlimited what happens after the initiation when you receive your first attunement during the initiation ceremony energy will start to flow through your hands at the thought of healing you will also start a 21-day cleansing and detoxification cycle through the chakras the Reiki attunement has a powerful healing influence on the mind body and spirit activating all seven chakras beginning with the root and ending at the crown chakra each one taking approximately 24 hours this happens three times you may not be aware of this depending on how fit and healthy you are the more toxic you are the more you'll become aware of the cleansing process your body's preparing you for healing when the toxins are out of your system your body can work at the ultimate level for healing your whole system will be readjusted and rebalanced you may experience symptoms of physical cleansing and detoxification such as runny nose headaches or diarrhea there was no need to be alarmed the body is simply flushing out the toxins it is a good idea to spend a little bit more time resting over the 21 day period use the time for self healing and reflection place your hands on any ache or pains you may be experiencing allow Reiki to ease your discomfort and speed up the healing process the healing energy works on all levels of the mind body and spirit this process can be quite emotional and exhausting at times as the Reiki energy goes to work on the emotional and physical blocks scars and baggage that your body has collected and stalls throughout your lifetime Rey keys wisdom will do whatever is needed to release you from the fears and barriers that prevent you leading a happy fulfilling life if you find yourself getting emotional and wanted to cry scream or shout let it happen the old saying better out than in is so true and therapeutically beneficial to your being release the ties that bind you to your old habits and lifestyle Reiki is like a rebirth you can cleanse your mind body and spirit and start again trust in the healing power of Reiki some reactions may seem unpleasant but by accepting it as part of your personal healing process and not attaching a great deal of importance to them they will soon pass you may also find yourself dealing with certain issues in your dreams it can be helpful to keep a record of them in a dream journal then when you have time you can meditate on the issues there are also two extremely good techniques for unraveling the meaning of dreams and how they relate to your life the first is dream work which is a form of Gestalt therapy developed by dr. Fritz Perls it is simple and easy to understand you are shown how to conduct conversations with your dreams during these conversations your unconscious mind will unlock and reveal the true meaning of your dreams to you there are many good books on the subject including the red book of Gestalt by Gale Houston professor Eugene Gaiman developed another technique for working with your dreams called

Lin's take to unravel the meaning of your dreams the achievement switch on an extra surge of power which fuels all life the more you use Reiki the stronger it becomes established a habit of giving yourself Reiki before you fall asleep at night and when you wake up in the morning remember once you've been attuned to the universal life force you can begin channeling the healing energy of Reiki to yourself and others Reiki is never sent it is always drawn through the channel this is one of the major differences between reiki and magnetic or spiritual healing because the energy has been drawn through the channel by the recipient as opposed to being directed by the healer the Reiki practitioner will never feel drained or take on the condition of the patient on the contrary the practitioner is also receiving a self treatment as the Reiki energy flows through them to the recipient your psychic intuitive and creative abilities will be raised by between 50 to 80 percent by raising your vibratory level you will begin to a transformational process on all the many levels and aspects of your life we all live in an extremely stressful and hectic world which can influence our total being

infinite wisdom goes to the place in the body that requires healing that is why Reiki is so easy to learn and apply there is no need to study the anatomy of the human body or animals to treat a personal animal successfully you simply place your hands on the body and channel the energy Reiki will do the rest however it can be helpful to know where the major organs lymphatic and endocrine systems are in the body this knowledge will allow you to treat specific problems or organs quickly and easily the following illustrations are simple diagrams of the human anatomy if you decide to further your studies we recommend that you make full use of your public library they will have books on the human anatomy as well as books on the anatomy of various pets and animals of course the Internet and the world wide web offers a multitude of free information and any good search engine will open up a doorway to many excellent guys see Anatomy the endocrine system this system consists of the ductless glands that release hormones it works together with the nervous system in regulating metabolic activities so that homeostasis is maintained there are a few primary endocrine glands the pituitary gland at the base of the brain the thyroid gland in the neck the four or five parathyroid glands in the tissues around the thyroid the two adrenal glands above the kidney against a posterior wall of the abdomen certain areas of the pancreas near the stomach the sex glands or gonads testes in the mail and ovaries in the female various hormones are released in the endocrine glands with each secretion causing a different reaction in the body these include the body's growth rate control of sex and reproductive functions and the regulation of calcium and phosphate levels in the blood please review the images within this video or our members areas for more information the lymphatic system the lymphatic system is a system of thin tubes that runs throughout the body these tubes are called lymph vessels you may also hear them called lymphatic vessels the lymphatic system is similar to blood circulation the tubes branched through all parts of the body like the arteries and veins that carry blood except that the lymphatic system carries a colorless liquid called lymph is a milky body fluid that contains a type of white blood cell called lymphocytes along with proteins and fats limp seeps outside the blood vessels in spaces of body tissue and is stored in the lymphatic system to flow back into the bloodstream through the flow of blood in and out of arteries and into the veins and through the lymph nodes and into the lymph the body is able to eliminate the products of cellular breakdown and bacterial invasion to very large areas of significance in this system the right lymphatic duct which drains lymph fluid from the upper right quarter of the body above the diaphragm and down the midline and the thoracic duct a structure roughly 16 inches long located in the mediastinum of low pleural cavity which drains the rest of the body it is through the actions of this system including the spleen the thymus lymph nodes and lymph ducts that our body is able to fight infection and to ward off invasion from foreign invaders lymph plays an important role in the immune system and in absorbing fats from the intestines the lymphatic vessels are present wherever there are blood vessels and transport excess fluid to the end vessel without the assistance of any pumping action there are more than a hundred tiny oval structures called lymph nodes these are mainly in the neck groin and armpits but are scattered all along the lymph vessels they act as barriers to infection by filtering out and destroying toxins and germs the largest body of lymphoid tissue in the human body is the spleen once again please review the diagrams within this video and also within the Reiki store members area for more information alternatively please search your local library and the internet for more information but remember Reiki will go where it's needed so it's not important to be an expert on the human body this concludes lesson 7 please move on now to lesson 8 Reiki 1 lesson 8 Reiki self treatment once you've received the first degree achievement from a Reiki Master you are ready to work with the universal life force however it's important that you realize as with every profession that there's a need to first practice and master the skills associated with healing madame Takata taught our students to heal themselves first then their families then their friends only then did she believe they would be adequately qualified and able to work as a practitioner and heal other people when a person first learns to drive a car they need time practice and experience to master what appears to be a rather complex set of procedures however within a very relatively short space of time they can drive safely and effortlessly as they unconsciously control the car and all the various skills associated with driving likewise with time practice and experience you will master the skills and techniques associated with the art of Reiki healing treat the early months as a learning experience almost like an apprenticeship this will give you the time you need to develop your confidence and skills remember the more you work with Reiki the more intuitive you will become

conditioning and behavior how to treat yourself with Reiki there is no right or wrong way to work with Reiki on oneself as you become more experienced with the Reiki energy you will intuitively move your hands to wherever it feels right however if you're aware of a specific problem such as an injury or pain then you should place your hands directly over that area to begin with and follow up with a full self treatment in the beginning it is always best to follow a set of procedures as shown in the following illustrations marked self treatment hand positions when you've mastered the hand positions you can then leave each self treatment up to your own intuition you may wish to work with music to have the right relaxing mood find a place where you won't be disturbed if possible normally you would spend 3 to 5 minutes on each hand position how time is often short but remember a little Reiki is better than no Reiki on completion of this self treatment drink a large glass of purified water close your eyes and go inside and pay attention to the thoughts and emotions that you've arisen during the session you may feel light-headed and if you need to rest or sit down for a short time allow yourself this time if you feel you need to continue to work on a specific area of the body even if you've completed a full self treatment then go with your intuition always listen to your mind and body remember the following hand positions are only a guide use your intuition self treatment hand positions position one cup your hands and gently rest them over your eyes cheekbones and forehead

appropriate environment is important to create the right setting whenever possible for a Reiki healing session you may work from home and be able to use a spare room just for healing if this is not practical you may want to look at the viability of joining your local therapy or healing center in most cases you'll be able to rent a healing or therapy room at a reasonable rate often on an hourly daily or weekly basis the room should be light and clean and feels safe bright pastel colors such as white yellow or purple can be used to create the desired effect make sure you'll not be interrupted by internal or external distractions so unplug the telephone and disconnect the doorbell if you're working from home let your family or friends know your schedule so they do not disturb you if possible always use a therapy table alternatively you could use a strong table with thick blankets on top you will need two pillows one for the clients head and one for their feet make sure the room is heated to a comfortable level some people may get cold just lying still on the treatment table so always have a warm blanket available and a plant to the room and some crystals under the table to help with the right energy some people like to work in total silence during a session personally we prefer to always work with therapeutic music such as classical ambient or new-age to help our clients relax music also can help the therapists relax and allow them to focus on healing natural sounds like whales dolphins and running water are very therapeutic and relaxing as part of our Reiki Master home study course we also provide you with our own specially composed music for healing and meditation call heartbeat which is extremely relaxing in therapeutic and a beautiful guided meditation based on the ancient light meditation we recommend that you play this music while you treat other people and yourself with Reiki there are also a wide range of compact discs and tapes available and mp3's that have been created specifically for Reiki they have been designed to run for the length of a full treatment with a bell or chime added at three or five-minute intervals to let the therapist know when to move their hands to another position burning incense or oils can add a pleasing aroma to your room however be careful as some people are sensitive to certain smells and it may cause them to experience an unpleasant therapy session to blend this happening ask your client before you light your oils or incense sticks during a Reiki session you may find your client begins to cry as they release blocked emotional issues so always keep a box of tissues handy for these occasions for a finishing touch to your room you may want to place photographs of dr. Yasui dr. Hayashi madame Takata Buddha or Jesus depending on who you call upon during your invocation your reiki prayer remove all jewelry Reiki can travel through all materials such as stone brick concrete and metal however the metal and stones used in the manufacture of jewelry come into contact with and attract certain types of negative energy to enable you to work with Reiki free from all subtle energy disturbances it's advisable to remove all jewelry such as rings watches earrings chains and necklaces therapists who work with precious stones and crystals for healing recognize that these materials can become saturated with negative energy that is why they cleanse them on a regular basis remove tight clothing to allow Reiki to flow freely through you and your clients is important that you both remove tight clothing such as belts ties and shoes this will also make you feel more comfortable and relaxed Reiki can travel through clothes so there's no need to remove any other forms of clothing you may find it's more comfortable if you wear loose-fitting clothes when you're working with Reiki such as a tracksuit avoid alcohol alcohol dissipates energy always refrain from consuming alcohol if you know you're going to be working with Reiki at least 24 hours before a session personal hygiene ensure you smelling appear clean and fresh avoid wearing strong perfumes or aftershaves if you smoke make sure you brush your teeth or use a mouth freshener refrain from eating garlic onions while the foods that may leave a smell on your breth wash your hands before a Reiki session using a lightly scented or neutral soap your hands come into contact with your clients face and skin so it's important for hygiene purposes and the peace of mind your client that you have clean hands the invocation Reiki prayer it's important to remember that as a Reiki practitioner you're not healing your client the people receiving Reiki are in fact healing themselves you are merely the channel that enables them to draw the Reiki energy through your hands to the place it is needed the invocation is a token that symbolizes your giving up any claims to power you are simply the conduit in which the infinite power of the universal life force flows although the invocation is not necessary to turn on the Reiki energy I feel it enables the therapist to disassociate themselves from their ego and pay respect to the universal life force and the person they're about to work with your prayer should be personal and in line with your own beliefs ask for permission to be used as a channel for Reiki healing we have listed below our own personal invocation which may help you develop a prayer that is suitable for your own use once your client is lying down on the healing table relaxed and ready to receive Reiki move to the top of the table the clients head close your eyes join your hands together in a prayer like position in front of your heart chakra alternatively if your client is seated stand behind them and place your hands on their shoulders for the invocation our own personal invocation we always like to take a few moments before we begin a treatment to mentally prepare ourselves for working as a channel for Reiki this quiet time is perfect for getting in touch with our guides mentors and assistants it allows us a brief moment of reflection focuses our thoughts on healing it's important to begin the treatment with the right mental attitude your wish should be to pass on unconditional love and healing in the purest form and sense I call upon Reiki the universal life force all the angelic beings who have worked with Reiki in the past especially dr. yu Tsui dr. Hayashi Madame to Carter my guides and all the Reiki masters past present and future to draw near and take part in this healing session I ask that the pound wisdom of Reiki permits me to become a

be empowered by your divine love and blessing our men cleanse and harmonize your clients aura prior to commencing the Reiki treatment run your hands in your clients who are about six inches above their body from the head right down to their feet in a slow smooth motion at least three times to remove any superficial energy buildup this also bring harmony to your clients aura and form a positive rapport between you and your client pay attention to your hands and use your intuition sense for possible blockages or hotspots to focus on during your healing session you are now ready to begin the treatment this concludes lesson 9 please move on now to lesson 10 Reiki one lesson 10 treating others with Reiki before you begin a full-body treatment on another person there are a few important things to remember never give a Reiki treatment to a person who has a pacemaker as Reiki can alter its rhythm never give a Reiki treatment to a person who suffers from diabetes mellitus and are taken insulin injections unless they're prepared to check their own insulin levels every day as Reiki reduces the amount of insulin they require always explain to a person who is visiting you for the first time for a Reiki treatment exactly what you're going to do and the type of reactions that might occur stress that any one of these reactions are normal they may experience one or two of these reactions all of them or none of them it makes no difference Reiki will go wherever it is needed the type of reactions that may occur are a sensation of heat a sensation of cold they may see colors they may have past life flashes they may have involuntary movements they may even fall asleep they may experience itchiness emotional responses rumbling stomach memory flashes pins and needles and they may even sense your hands moving often the client will experience extreme cold at the position of your hands while you feel intense heat if the client experiences nothing explain to them that the Reiki energy often works on a subtle level yes profound result which normally become apparent in the following days or weeks never forget the client is drawing Reiki through you they are doing the healing on a subconscious level you are only the channel Reiki will always travel to the place it is needed most no knowledge of the human anatomy or physiology is required to work with Reiki leave your ego aside and Reiki will do the work forget the symptoms treat the whole person listen to your clients body through your hands sense the different types of energy if the energy is strong keep your hands in that position until you sensors shift in the energy level remember use your intuition look for nonverbal communication from your clients body deep size or hand the leg movements often indicate something positive is taking place the normal time required for a full-body treatment is between 60 to 90 minutes at the end of a treatment always offer your client a glass of water to aid the grounding always wash your hands on the cold running water after each treatment beginning the treatment ensure your client is lying flat on the therapy table with their arms down by their sides their legs should also be flat against the table and must not be crossed as this may block the flow of Reiki gently lay your hands on your clients body keep them in each position for between three to five minutes as you become more experienced use your intuition your hand should be cupped with your fingers firmly closed as though you're trying to hold water this keeps the channel strong between your client and the universal life force if your fingers are open Reiki can escape just as water would slip through your open fingers in the case of burnt skin or client's genitals and breast area

concludes lesson 10 please move on now to lesson 11 Reiki 1 lesson 11 a rapid Reiki treatment on many occasions you will find it's not practical to spend 60 to 90 minutes conducting a complete Reiki treatment often for numerous reasons the person needing Reiki has a limited amount of time or you simply are called into action in a place far away from your normal Healing Room there was an alternative quick and versatile technique that can be used in these situations the rapid Reiki treatment focuses on all major chakra points while the client sits upright in a chair and takes between 15 to 30 minutes to complete the rapid Reiki treatment position 1 first position your clients should be seated stand behind your client place your hands on your clients shoulders and tsiyon team ache

grounding please note for your comfort positions three to eight should be conducted while sitting in a chair spend three to five minutes on each position unless your intuition tells you otherwise a little Reiki is better than no reiki at all this concludes lesson 11 please move on now to lesson 12 regu 1 lesson 12 the l-train ium rhythm and reiki what is the ultradian rhythm biological research has discovered that the human body functions in various cycles one of these cycles is called the L train Ian's rhythm the natural body cycle of activity and rest during sleep we dream every 90 to 100 minutes even if we don't always remember doing so in our daily lives this rhythm continues during the day we often have a sudden urge to stop and rest the body needs to take short breaks every 90 to 120 minutes to repair and maintain itself most people misjudge this natural and important process and fail to allow themselves a short power break instead of relaxing and recharging their batteries most people opt for a quick boost of energy and power this normally comes in the form of a coffee or tea break sweet chocolates fizzy drinks or cigarettes unfortunately all these are stimulants and simply gloss over the underlying need of the body to take regular breaks if it is to maintain health and well-being when we consistently ignore these essential psychophysical logical breaks we're upsetting the fine balance and rhythms of the mind body and spirit this neglect leads to health problems and stress-related disorders such as depression mood disorders psychosomatic pain and illnesses sexual dysfunction eating disorders and a wide variety of psychological problems raking can be used to prevent and help treat this problem by bringing the body back into equilibrium and normalizing the l-train ium rhythm the l-train ium rhythm technique during the day look out for signs from your own body mind telling you to stop for a moment and rest these signs normally manifest as a sudden feeling of slowing down or loss of energy you may feel yourself drift off into a semi trance-like state somewhat like daydreaming at this point allow yourself a short break and you will revitalize and rejuvenate the whole body mind and spirit place your cupped hands over your eyes as shown in the illustration close your eyes and go inside become aware of any part of the body that feels tight sore or tired if you discover a part of your body that needs Reiki move your hands to that place and keep them there for as long as you need to try to imagine or sense that part of your body being filled with a healing white light Reiki then make the light grow brighter and brighter larger and larger until it envelops your whole body since the feeling of peace and well-being as the healing light fills your aura and forms a protective shield of pure unconditional love and energy around you when you feel rejuvenated and recharged gently open your eyes and continue with your day repeat this exercise on a regular basis to keep your energy levels high and prevent stress and your health it's important to change how you respond to this natural rhythm replace the junk food and quick attempts to boost your energy levels with this healthier and natural self healing technique that will add years to your life if you fail to find a part of the body that needs Reiki go back inside once more and look again often we have found it takes a second look to find a part of the body that requires healing this is because it's invariably hidden deep in the unconscious mind however if you fail to uncover anything simply keep your hands over your eyes for long as you require this short break we'll still be beneficial your health and well-being when time or conditions prevent you taking these short power breaks there is another way of maintaining your fight against sickness and disease the thymus gland which is situated between the throat and heart chakra see illustration is a twin lobed organ that is responsible for juicing white infection-fighting blood cells although the function of the thymus are not fully understood it is known to play another important part of developing immunities against various diseases by forming a hormone essential to the immune system known as THF thymic your moral factor researchers believe that it is this hormone that acts on lymphocytes causing them to change into plasma cells which subsequently form antibodies that produce immunities tap gently 20 to 30 times on your chest over the position of your thymus see illustration or place one of your hands over this position for several minutes this simple technique will help maintain and boost your immune system while filling your body with vitality this concludes lesson 12 please move on now to lesson 13 Reiki 1 lesson 13 a group Reiki treatment group treatments were first used by dr. Hayashi at his clinic in Tokyo he would often treat clients with the help of several other Reiki practitioners many people find it more enjoyable to work with another person or persons there were also several advantages of working in a group the benefits of a group treatment group treatment is quicker taking as little as 6 to 10 minutes to complete a full Reiki treatment group treatment is very powerful the client receives an intense bursts of healing energy this often has the effect of kick-starting the clients natural healing process group treatment allows the team to form a bond and create a unique energy as we all experience Reiki in different ways clients will often notice the different energy vibrations from different Reiki practitioners to perform a group treatment you simply first of all conduct a group treatment of the front of the client or recipient then asked a person to turn over and conduct a full treatment on the back of the client as illustrated guidelines for conducting a group treatment all the normal preparations and procedures of a full Reiki treatment still apply to a group session before you begin a group treatment decide who will work on the head positions and ultimately close the healing session depending on how many Reiki practitioners are involved in the group treatment decide who will work on the various hand positions don't forget to decide who will complete the session by smoothing the clients aura if for more practitioners are taking part in the healing session you can have one practitioner at each end of the clients body while the other practitioners work in the middle remember to have a box of tissues available this is a wonderful way to treat many people in a short space of time and ideal for therapy days however remember to wash your hands before and after each treatment under cold running water to dissipate any negative energy and assist grounding for each member of the team spend time sharing the experiences group treatment is a great way to learn and grow together this concludes lesson 13 please move on now to lesson 14 Reiki 1 lesson 14 Reiki and pregnancy babies in children pregnancy Reiki is both safe and extremely beneficial to an unborn child and their pregnant mother we have found that women who have studied the first degree and I'm attuned to the universal life force find the experience of pregnancy and childbirth more enjoyable and easier to cope with Reiki can help during pregnancy in various ways such as Reiki alleviates morning sickness Reiki reduces stress and tiredness Reiki stimulates the baby's healthy development Reiki can be used to treat painful muscles joints or the spine Reiki strengthens the bond between a mother and her baby when a mother who is attuned to Reiki places her hands on her tummy she's passing pure unconditional love and healing to a ram born child Reiki keeps the mind body and spirit in balance reducing the chances of postnatal depression Reiki nourishes the fetus with love and the universal life force it gently comforts protects and envelops the unborn baby if the father of an unborn baby is a Reiki practitioner he can also help during the pregnancy by treating his partner the important bond between father and child will also be stimulated each time he places his hands on his partner's pregnant tummy the father can communicate through his hands with his child Reiki can help couples who are finding it difficult to conceive a child by reducing stress and stimulating both the female's natural reproductive cycle and the male's production of sperm in many cases when a couple are desperate for a child they place extreme stress on themselves causing an imbalance of their mind body and spirit so often the moment they give up and forget about trying to have children and the pressure and stress factor is removed many couples find their prayers are answered and the pregnancy is discovered babies rhaggy can accelerate the recovery time of the mother and baby after the birth it is especially good for cesarean sections and healing the various scars and stitches often associated with childbirth Reiki can be used to heal the baby's umbilical cord Reiki can be used to revitalize and nourish the mother's milk if the baby is breastfed alternatively if the babies to be bottle fed the formula can be treated with Reiki treating and enrich in the baby's food can help nourish and satisfies the baby's hunger this will help them suckle until they're content and for regular filling feeds leads to less sleepless nights something all parents pray for Reiki stimulates balance in the newborn baby it can easily be channeled to the baby whenever the mother or father depending on who is too tuned to the energy touches their child Reiki can be used to help treat cradle cap the colic and wind important though always consult your doctor no matter how trivial it may seem if you're concerned about your baby children rhaggy can be used to treat your children throughout their lives from the early days and months through puberty adolescence and into adulthood Reiki is wonderful for all their aches and pains instinctively we touch or kiss our children better when they fall or injure themselves with Reiki we speed up the healing process and boost their own natural healing abilities Reiki is a special gift you can share with your children we recommend you teach your own children the five principles of Reiki and have them operate them into their lives children love reiki if possible we should introduce and attune your children to reiki it will help them focus and find their own path in life use reiki at bedtime to help your children drift off to sleep reiki balances your child's mind body and spirit leading to a clearer more focus approach to life at school and at home when a child has an accident they often cry because of the shock treat your child by placing one of your hands on their solar plexus and the other hand at the base of the spine this concludes lesson 14 please move on now to lesson 15 Reiki one less than fifteen Reiki brings comfort to those crossing over there was only one certainty in life and that is that death comes to us all facing our own mortality is often difficult we have two main choices in coming to terms with our own death or the death of a family member or friend we can choose to view death as final and become consumed in grief or we can envisage life after death and celebrate the transition to eternal life I believe some personal experiences shape how we deal with this extremely emotive issue moving my sister Kim at the young age of 33 was a devastating blow to myself and my family it was the first time I'd experienced losing someone close looking back in hindsight and through my own research and subsequent experiences with people who came to me for help before dying I found many common attitudes and mistakes associated with death the Western world in general treats the subject of dying is taboo something we shouldn't talk about as a stark contrast Eastern philosophy and the teachings and beliefs of many ancient cultures view death as a natural part of life they believe that our souls are eternal the body is only a temporary vessel that allows the soul access to earth karmically we are here to learn and grow when a person becomes more spiritually aware they grow to understand and accept these ancient beliefs when you look at the two choices it should be easy to believe in life after death rather than believe that death is final and we have nothing else to look forward to all religions are built on the premise that to obtain eternal life you must be good in this one Thanet ology the study of death and dying has given humanity the insight into life after death people who have had near-death experiences bring hope and reports of a better place books such as saved by the light by dannion brinkley offer inspiration and comfort to us all in 1975 Danian was struck by lightning as he made a telephone call to a business partner during a thunderstorm he was pronounced dead in the ambulance on the way to hospital for a little over 20 minutes he experienced what people fear the most what really happens to you when you die dannion brinkley tells how his etheral soul leaves his earthly body and floats high above looking down at the scene of his death he felt no pain or sadness at leaving his body all his life behind a tunnel of bright light appears in front of him and he is quickly engulfed by it as he progresses into the light he feels an overwhelming sense of peace and love he goes on to tell of meeting spiritual beings and being shown a beautiful spiritual realm this life-changing experience is not unique to dannion brinkley thousands of other people who have died on the operating table after an accident only to come back from the brink have reported similar experiences if dannion had been the only person to profess to such a profound experience then we could dismiss as fiction or fantasy a man with a wild imagination who suffered hallucinations perhaps after a serious and almost fatal accident there are nine common traits that thanatologist like dr. Raymond moody author of life after life have been able to define through countless studies with people who have had near-death experiences this research we believe proves that there is life after death the nine common traits are as follows a person senses they are dead a feeling of peace without pain no matter how they died an out-of-body experience their soul or essence floats above the dead body below a tunnel appears and the person is drawn into another world beings of light appear often deceased relatives and friends a particular being of light appears to greet and guide them a being of light takes them through a life review with highlights of all the pleasant and unpleasant aspects of their life the person is told they must return they feel reluctant to do so but understand they have no choice on returning the person has a personality transformation they no longer fear death and they often guided inspired towards a new definite purpose in their life the knowledge that there is life after death should be incorporated into your own life as well as the life of your family friends and people who you meet along your path to eternal life we urge you to study and become more aware of how to use this knowledge to help people who fear death make their transition a happy and joyous experience tree also their families so they may celebrate in the knowledge that their loved ones are not suffering and lost forever they have simply migrated to a beautiful spiritual world that is filled with pure unconditional love one day they will once again meet and be with them working with people who are dying Reiki connects us to the universal life force the energy and unconditional love that people who have had near-death experiences talk about when you use Reiki in a situation such as with a person who is terminally ill you are connecting them to the unconditional love of God and preparing them for the transition you will often find Reiki temporary revitalizes them so they have energy to do with any unfinished business they may have it is important to help them if possible tidy up their affairs teach them to heal and mend any family relationships that may have been strained in the past encourage them to forgive and let go of any unnecessary anger and pain death is not failure it is a natural part of life encourage family members and friends to say goodbye and let the person who is dying know it's okay to go and although it hurts they can carry on and survive without them this often brings relief and removes the feeling of guilt from the person who is dying Reiki can alleviate pain and anxiety and bring final peace and harmony to the mind body and spirit Reiki gives a person control of how and when they die Reiki builds a bridge to the other side and brings the life of a person to a joyful conclusion treat the family and friends if possible weed Reiki after their loved one is passed on we have found while the soul is departed and gone on to a joyous beginning the people left behind often find it extremely difficult to come to terms with losing the close family member or friend heal their plane and fill their mind body and spirit and lives with the unconditional and omnipotent love of Reiki this concludes lesson 15 please move on now to lesson 16 Reiki 1 lesson 16 use your imagination with Reiki Reiki is present in all living things your imagination is the only thing that can set limitations on its uses we have listed some of the most common in this lesson Reiki and animals all animals are door reiki large or small fierce or friendly animals are extremely sensitive to the healing energy of Reiki start practicing with your own pets and as you become more confident you can move on to other people's pets and animals as we're treating humans Reiki will go where it's needed most the only difference with animals is that they often guide you to the exact place that requires treatment by moving around until your hand lands on the exact spot animals will also let you know when they've had enough by moving away there is a huge market for treating animals with Reiki use your imagination to develop your own techniques for treatment and develop a marketing strategy talk to your local vet or animal welfare center advertise you'll be surprised at the number of people with pets who need and want your help basic techniques for animals the very small animals such as birds or mice can be cupped in your hands larger animals such as cats dogs horses and cows normally prefer that you begin by placing your hands behind their ears and working around their body as you would with a normal full treatment for humans however if the animal has a specific injury place your hands directly over the injury fish can be treated by placing your hands on either side of the fish tank animals that are wild or dangerous can be treated safely through distant healing which you learn in the second degree another safe way to treat animals is by treating their food and drink however this is a weaker form of treatment remember use your imagination plants and vegetation Reiki will enrich your plants flowers trees in gardens daily treatment will soon show positive results the easiest way to prove how effective Reiki is with your plants and vegetation is to conduct a simple experiment take several seeds charge half of them with Reiki and place them in a pot then plant the other untreated seeds in a separate identical block treat the seeds which were charged in the beginning with Reiki each day and observe how they flourish compare them to the pot of seeds that were simply left to grow naturally basic techniques for plants and vegetation treat seeds or bulbs before sowing or planting by cupping them in your hands for several minutes indoor and outdoor potted plants can be treated daily by placing your hands around the pot flowers bushes and plants can be treated by placing your hands gently on their leaves buds branches or stems hold cut flowers by their stems for a couple of minutes continue daily treatment by placing your hands around the vase and you will extend the flowers life trees need longer treatments the easiest way is to hug the tree lawns plants shrubs flowers and trees can also be treated by treating their water supply larger Gardens woods and forests can be treated through distant healing which again you will learn in the second degree food and drink treat your food and drink before you consume it this will enrich it with the universal life force and improve the digestion process the consumption of food takes more energy than any other bodily function the quicker and more easily it is digested the more energy is available for other activities basic techniques for food and drink if you grow your own vegetables and herbs treat as shown previously for plant and vegetation during food preparation you can place the food in your hands and conduct the short Reiki treatment this is especially good if you're preparing a meal for the family just before you eat or drink place your hands just above the plate or glass this is especially useful if you're eating out and you're unable to see the food being prepared alternatively you can place your hands on your stomach to assist digestion further uses for Reiki there are a million and one other uses for Reiki including flat car batteries especially on cold winter mornings the medicine cabinet or first-aid box the bath water your home your car protecting while traveling on trains planes buses etc we always like to send Reiki to the person either driving the train or flying the plane your work your letters and documentation in fact you're only limited by your imagination use your imagination right now by listing as many ideas as you can on different ways to use Reiki in your life then make sure and try them out each idea will breed another one have fun and good luck this concludes lesson 16 please
