The word Ki in Japanese is a very powerful word. It is believed This energy flows throughout the body. When this energy becomes weak or blocked this can cause sickness and disease.

The Benefits Of Reiki What are the benefits of Reiki? The benefits of Reiki are so many. For an example I will use myself and tell my story. First our thoughts are powerful. I use to have the mind set that If I think the worst possible outcome then I wont be disappointed in whatever the outcome may be. If I got the job, or promotion or whatever it was I was seeking then the feeling of accomplishment would be overwhelming and not so expected. If the worse happened I wouldn't be so upset, surprised or disappointed. let me tell you I was certainly on the wrong path with this line of thinking. And with this thought process I got just what I asked for, nothing. And a lot of us do and react the same way for we are all but spiritual beings on this earthly plain. In life we face many challenges and obstacles, road blocks so to speak. These are all learning lessons. The Universe is trying to tell us something but we have to be open enough to listen. illness, sickness and disease effects so many people today at an alarming rate. Even as a child we have anxiety, and uncertainty. The loss of a loved one or a parent either through death or divorce is a traumatic experience. The child will often times wonder why? Why did this happen? Anger can set in. I lost my mother when I was nine years old. And I went through all the grieving. Then even at this young age I wanted to know why. Why was she taken from me? Is this some sort of punishment? Was it because maybe I wouldn't behave? Or because I didn't clean my room? We often times blame ourselves when it's not our fault. We place blame on others even those we love when it's not their fault either. This applies to children of divorce as well. We allow our emotions to get the better of ourselves. Anger can and often sets in. I was angry at God, blamed God, I felt betrayed. I like to think in terms of life as a journey. A trip. And when we go on trips what do we do? We pack our bags. Yes, these bags become our baggage. Now here I was a small boy of only nine and already had a very large suit case. (luggage.) So I began to put my bags in the suit case. Being a child I can remember having anxiety about school. I would think gosh I missed a few days because I was ill. So I would say to myself the other kids will surly tease me or make fun of me. That's all I could think of. I knew it would happen, I actually spoke this into existence. Sure enough I got teased. This effected me to the point of becoming physically ill. My hands would sweat, my stomach would turn, I would think the worse and for a time had difficulty fitting in and feeling good about school and myself. Thus early on the luggage was open and so here I go more baggage to place in my suit case for my life's journey. Far too often we pack our own bag with the wrong items. In relationships we often wonder what happened? Where did I go wrong? why did my partner leave? We get angry and place blame on everyone and everything. Sound familiar? In future relationships often is the case we become possessive. Untrusting. We just know our partner will do the same and leave so we try early on to stop it. Or we just know our partner will do as the others so unknowingly we prepare for the worse outcome and out partner picks up on this negative energy, You guessed it we now have many bags and we are filling them up with unwanted and undesired items. The heavy weight of this baggage can take its toll on us on a physical and emotional level. And throughout our lives we add more baggage. By doing this we become unbalanced. We become tired more often, no energy, We worry about the slightest things, Worry leads to stress, Stress leads to many disease's of the body. Our very life force energy cannot flow properly, and can become weak like a dim light bulb, Ever see a dim light bulb that orange color? and say that light is about to burn out. When our life force or energy gets dim or blocked it can effect our body and our immune system. We get sick more often, we have aches and pains in various organs, not only can this effect our physical self it can take it's toll on our emotional health as well. Through Reiki we learn to unpack our bags. Pure positive energy is restored and in this we find balance. We find peace with the world, nature and all of the universe. Finding Reiki has changed my life in so many ways. I was introduced to Reiki at a difficult time in my life where I was facing many road blocks and obstacles later I discovered it was I who placed them in my path. The only way I can describe it is it was like I was going along my life's journey and facing yet another hill that seemed like a mountain. And my baggage was just to heavy. Through Reiki healing I learned to one at a time set down a piece of luggage and open it up and look inside. Doing this the first bag I realized I didn't need any of these items. So I left the baggage behind and the load though still heavy was just a bit lighter. Gradually through more healing sessions one by one I let go of UN needed baggage. After my first attunment I was able to finally realize that I was carrying a heavy weight that was only slowing me down. Reiki has changed my life for the positive. And has changed my life forever. Reiki can make you well, mind body and spirit. The amazing thing about Reiki is it goes where it's needed. It knows where its needed. Reiki can go anywhere. Reiki has no limitations and knows not time. Reiki can travel anywhere and at any time. Reiki energy can go to your past and heal past issues. Reiki can go to the present and heal current issues and health problems. Reiki energy can go to the future also and heal future issues. Reiki can be sent to others from a distance, no distance is too far for Reiki to travel. Reiki is a wonderful gift and so many can benefit from its use. IM so blessed to have Reiki in my life. In my profession as a martial Arts Instructor I have changed so many lives and helped many, through Reiki I was given my turn to heal and now pass on this healing to others. Everyone and everything can benefit from Reiki. Pets can benefit from Reiki, Plants, Animals, Reiki energy can also be sent to objects. Reiki is everywhere it surrounds us, It wants us to be in harmony and to have balance. All we have to do is accept it and Reiki will forever change your life and the lives of everyone you give it to. Namaste.
History Of Reiki A brief history of Usui Reiki The founder of Usui Reiki was Mikao Usui. Usui was Japanese. You will find many accounts of history regarding Reiki. From my understanding Mikao Usu i wanted to find a way to heal sickness and disease rather then just cover up the symptoms with drugs and medications. He knew Jesus was a healer and sought out spiritual advice. To find an answer he left on a twenty-one day spiritual journey atop a mountain. Usui had 21 stones he collected one for each day. For twenty-one days he meditated hoping an answer would come to him. As each day would pass he would mark the day by throwing one stone off the mountain. Usui became discouraged for as the days passed he still had no answer no matter how much he prayed and meditated. Finally the last day, day twenty-one. Feeling sad and certain he would not find the answer he was seeking he threw the last stone off the mountain. Then it came, In the distance Usui seen something, It was like an orb, a powerful beam of light, With a powerful force Usui was knocked unconscious. He had left his body and was shown colorful orbs withing this beam of light and within them he was shown the symbols and attuned to each one. When he awoke he knew something wonderful happened. He ran down the mountain cutting his toe. Usui seen it was bleeding badly and placed his hand over his injured toe. The bleeding stopped completely. He knew from that point on he was a healer and he had his answer. Today in the West Most western Reiki practices come from the teachings of Mrs Hawayo Takata a reiki Master who brought the Teachings Of Reiki and Mikao Usui to the western world.
