Preparing for sessions

 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 is a lovely option. Moment is a lovely way to connect with heaven and earth, and actively ground.  Play with drawing the symbols in the air at the end, then settle into your body as hands come to rest.

During the session - I might engage a symbol as circumstances invite - SHK (mental emotional) to help clear mental clutter/ Emotional distress, or boost an affirmation. Matching pictorDistant for concerns about a loved one, or the past / future. Draw the power symbol in my mouth to activate. 

After: disengage from the client's field as i end the session, and go wash my hands (warm water and soap for cleanliness, a cool rinse of needed for energy). Then we check in, compete the energy exchange, and I show them out, perhaps using the CKR as I gently shut the door behind them. 

Retuning to the treatment room, I again circle the table as I remove the linens, and reset the table, if have another session. At this point, I  drink Reiki infused water or tea, then may do Qigong, dance a symbol, walk outside .... 

At the end of the day, I put the last linens in my laundry bag, turn down the heat, turn off the table warmer and salt lamp, turn on a UV lamp, and bless the room for its next use as I leave. 

How do you set and clear space?

Everyday Reiki

The Reiki precepts begin kyo dake wa , just for today ... When we have Reiki, we can invite the energy to flow into our activities and interactions throughout the day.  While Takata awaited surgery in Dr Maeda's hospital in Tokyo, each of the meals prepared by the doctor's sister the dietician was blessed with Reiki : green tea, Rice, beans, steamed vegetables (especially carrots & beets), seaweed. As she learned Reiki herself, Mrs Takata blessed her own food and drink, and later recommended her students do the same. Teachers in many traditions suggest blessing what we ingest, it's something we do daily, and soon becomes second nature. We can also use Reiki around the home: set up an altar hold seeds or herbs a minute before we plant them bless a craft project we're working on sweep the floor play a musical instrument atune to objects as we decide whether to keep them, or pass them on In addition to doing sessions on ourselves, our pets and each other, we can use Re

Beginnings

A couple of weeks after meeting our Reiki Master, another student & I arrived at her home for our First Degree Reiki class. One of Analyse's Mastery students joined us as well, to participate & observe. We alternated between teachings, sharing stories & experiences, initiations & learning to give (& receive) treatments. Analyse described the initiations as 'clearing the pipes' for the energy to flow through us, unimpeded. 'Think of the water pipes in two houses, a 'city house' & a summer home. If you turn on the faucet at home, the water runs clearly, while those in a place that's rarely used my sputter a bit, & run a bit cloudy. BOTH pipes have corrosion, but you don't observe that as much in the pipes that are used regularly.  'It's the same with people - some people naturally allow energy to flow, others don't; but both have 'blocks' that restrict the flow. The initation 'clears the pipes' in

Rei Ki - the word

Reiki is written in two Japanese kanji or characters,  Spiritual (&) Energy The word 'Reiki' is used in the West to denote a healing system. The founder of our Modern Reiki System, Mikao Usui didn't use this term, his teachings were more commonly called 'Usui Do' (the Way of Usui) and the healings 'Usui teate' or Usui's form of hands-on healing. Later, the word Reiki was added or substituted, to signify the system utilized spiritual energy. In Chinese, the same two kanji are used for 'Ling Chi'   "Ling Chi is the subtylest and most highly refined of all the energies in the human system and the product of the most advanced stage of a practice, whereby the ordinary energy of the body are transformed into pure spiritual vitality. This type of highly refined energy enhances spiritual awareness, improves all cerebral functions, and constitutes the basic fuel for the highest level of spiritual work." (Ling Gung: Harnessing th
