Learning Reiki – “The Secret Art of Inviting Happiness”
Dear Prospective Student,
The path of Reiki is a wonderful one, to start or guide you on your spiritual journey, as you allow Reiki to heal yourself and others. Perhaps you are new to Reiki, or have taken a class with another teacher. In any case, I am honored to have you consider taking or re-taking Reiki classes with me. My lineage is a combination of traditional Usui, White Light and Tibetan Reiki. I teach Usui/Tibetan Reiki, as developed by William Lee Rand of the International Center for Reiki Training, which has a focus on Japanese and intuitive techniques.
Reiki is a Japanese word that can be translated as “Spiritually Guided Life Force Energy.” In practicing Reiki, we can re-charge our bodies, minds and spirits, by connecting to the unlimited energy (chi) of the Universe. Reiki is not a religion; it is an Eastern practice that works with the subtle energy fields of the human body. That being said, many find that Reiki deepens their connection to God/Spirit/their Higher Power.
In the words of William Rand, Reiki is “an amazingly simple technique to learn; the ability to use Reiki is not taught in the usual sense, but is transferred to the student during a Reiki class. This ability is passed on during an "attunement" given by a Reiki master and allows the student to tap into an unlimited supply of "life force energy" to improve one's health and enhance the quality of life. Its use is not dependent on one's intellectual capacity or spiritual development and therefore is available to everyone. It has been successfully taught to thousands of people of all ages and backgrounds.”
Reiki is not a substitute for, but is a complement to, traditional medical and psychological care. Studies show it increases relaxation, and it has been incorporated into several medical settings. Reiki attunements enable you to give self-treatments and treatments to others. An important aspect of the system is self-care and mindfulness, as offered in the Reiki precepts:
The secret art of inviting happiness
The miraculous medicine of all diseases
Just for today, let go of anger
Let go of worry, and be filled with gratitude
Devote yourself to your work.
Be kind to people.
Every morning and evening,
join your hands in prayer.
Pray these words to your heart, and chant these words with your mouth
