King's Touch Reiki

  There are may ways to 'send' Reiki over distance of space and time. For several years , one I've used is writing prayers,  charging the with Reiki (sometimes drawing the symbols), and placing them in my Reiki box. I also invite friends and clients to write the prayers themselves.  Reiki Box The box can be folded from a card (here, I've the box for a chocolate bar) , and decorated as you wish. For this one, I've used acrylics and mod podge on brown packing paper.  Box and collage papers To  activate sending Reiki,  use the techniques you've learned. 'Turn Reiki on, ' draw the symbols, then focus energy on the Reiki Box. If you haven't taken Second degree, simple hold you box, and use your intention to Empower the healing.  Follow your instinct for how long and often to 'send' Reiki.'  You could keep your Reiki Precept cards in this box as well.  Blue crystal heart I placed this blue crystal heart in my Reiki box, and will tuck the praye

 I am so grateful I gave myself this opportunity to deepen with my own Reiki Practice over the last 3 weeks. I committed to just 14 days, then extended to the full 21 days integration period suggested to our students! And am inspired to consciously continue practicing Reiki daily!  During the past three weeks, I did self Reiki and one or more chi practice daily, wrote about Reiki, joined the Reiki Summit (what great timing!) , and met with a sister master about offering Reiki circles.  Here's a recap of the topics - I've grouped them into 'families' and added a few older posts you may find helpful.  Reiki 1 - Reiki and Massage   Reiki for self - recharge - holding space Challenge - renewal - gaining experience Preparing for sessions - home care Reiki + EFT - Trauma - grounding Practices : Gasshô - morning prayer   Moving chi  - Practical Reiki Reiki 2  - journal Symbols : Mental emotional Distant Reiki  - power May these practices inspire and revitalize your

  A recent inquiry in the Reiki Community group was around how folks use the symbols in their sesions. My practice is inviting Reiki to infuse my day - to Be Reiki.  I set my intention for the space to be nurturing and healing before the client enters.  My sessions are primarily Reiki infused massage, and I use tuning forks and other modalities in some sessions.  Glyph for Dragon I currently share a room with  another LMT, who's placed selenite crystals in wee bags in each corner, and tourmaline above the door. I brought in a salt lamp - energy is cleared 'automatically' each day.  I 'smudge' the room and bless table with the power symbol periodically, or blow cinnamon on the door.  Entering : I  plug in the salt lamp, turn on the table warmer, and circle the room, as I put linens on the massage/ Reiki table.  I may do Qigong or the  Hatsurei-Ho  if I want to connect more strongly with Qi, and infuse the room and myself with more energy. This  Seated Qigong  form i

  We  learn the Mental Emotional symbol (SHK) and its uses in the second degree classes - but may not be sure how to include it in treatments. I was taught to draw the symbol once (yantra), and chant its name 3 times (mantra) - and not to share these with folks not initiated to their use.  First - draw each symbol the way you remember it! (They are aids - and the guides know wheat you intend!) My Master Analyse told us she was happy to help someone refresh with a symbol - and always invites them to draw   it 'their way'  for her first.  Then she helps them fine tune. A couple of my favorite ways to practice the symbols are painting them on rice paper, or drawing them with a stick in the sand, and wipe them away. I love using sumi (ink, inkstone and bush), as Dr Maeda used when he wrote to Hayashi for Mrs Takata - you'll see why, as you grind the ink! Then I tear the paper, and use it in collage, with just a bit peeking through.  The mental emotional self treatment can b

  When I took First Degree Reiki in 1989, I knew I wanted to continue with the trainings, and eventually, to open the Reiki door for others . The next step on the path to Mastery the Second level, or Okuden . A year later, I was able to take that step.  Some time ago, my  ᏦᏍᏓᏓᎸ (tso-s-da-da-lv /  Sister)  in Reiki, Sheila King , wrote: 'Going deeply into your heart           Going deeply into your healing                     Opening yourself to the light ... 'The Japanese word Okuden means 'the Deeper knowledge'. To take Second degree Reiki means to open to deeper levels of Reiki and to yourself. Reiki on all levels is like  light in our lives, shining in all the dark corners, bringing us into alignment with our Higher Selves.  'First degree is like a flashlight shining within us. As we complete the shifting this illumination brings, we are ready to welcome the brighter stronger light that is Okuden. Initiation into Second degree gives us much more Light & energ

   Some of my joys when I lived and worked at Breitenbush Hot Springs were going to sleep to the song of the river, being fed lovely organic meals, and walking everywhere!  My daily commute was across the footbridge, to the 30s style wooden cabin where we offered massage, Reiki, and a mineral water soak and wrap.   Prayer flags in the woods Then options included heading to the dining hall for meals, to the sauna or one of the mineral pools for a steam or soak, to the Sanctuary for a daily well being session, to the lodge for a visit, or the trails for a hike - all of these accessed on foot! I got good boots, rain hat and warm coat - and I was set! (With geothermal lines under the paths,  those melted first when we had snow.  That first winter, our Events Coordinator asked another practioner and me to offer Tai Chi as well-being classes for our holiday guests. I came to his session for ideas, as I'd not taught yet, and was used to doing a complete form ... The next spring I began of
