King's Touch Reiki

 Mrs Takata often told her students 'Hands on, Reiki on!' - emphasising how simple it is to connect with Reiki.  I liken doing a Reiki to charging a battery, if a battery is low, when you attach it to a charger, it 'draws' the energy it needs through the cord or jumper cables. When you take it off the charger, it no longer draws energy. Denise Linn - 'Flow ' When we place our 'Reiki Charged' hands on someone, they draw the energy through us - 'Hands on, Reiki on!' When we remove our hands, they no longer 'draw' energy.  Mrs Takata also suggested eating simple food, full of vitality, in the hospital, she likely received simple Japanese fare - rice, steamed vegetables, Miso soup, fresh water & green tea. Think of what will help you recharge!  Preparing for Initiation, and integrating afterwards, students are encouraged to eat consciously, healthy fresh food where possible. To drink a bit more water (which helps our human batteries re...

 The Reiki precepts begin  kyo dake wa , just for today ... I love the concept that we become the jumper cables for the energy - it flows through, not from us. When we have Reiki, we can invite the energy to flow into our activities and interactions throughout each day.  Morning bowl While Mrs Takata awaited surgery in Dr Maeda's hospital in Tokyo, each meal 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 that her students do the same. Teachers in many traditions suggest blessing what we serve and ingest, when we do this daily, it 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 whilst talking with a friend or on the phon...

What a wonderful time we had in class! There were six students, & five who came to 'Refresh' with Reiki; it was a wonderful experience! As we began, I asked each student to introduce themselves, speak a little to what brought them to the class, & share a concern or 'Worry.' Those Refreshing or 'Auditing' the class generally had felt a pull to reconnect with the Reiki energy, or felt a special need for it at this time of their lives. They all were delighted to have the opportunity both for themselves, & to encourage those just beginning. The new students were eager to learn, AND several expressed a concern that THEY couldn't learn it! One mentioned SEVERAL family members 'do' Reiki, but she tends to be more Left Brain/analytical. She wanted to learn, but just didn't know if she'd feel anything. That was a common concern "Everyone else is going to feel it, but I'm not." Another, an electrician, commented t...

I've been participating in Catherine Basu's '12 Days of Fitness Challenge, & today, Tonya Lynette shared an article on Mind Body Green list 10 tips for a Healthier Life I've adapted the tips a bit, with suggestions for integrating Reiki into these practices. 1. Move more.  Regardless of your age, your brain and body expect and require movement for health. Movement exerts its effects on the brain through several mechanisms, including neurogenesis (the creation of new neurons), mood enhancement, and endorphin release. Do some form of exercise that significantly raises your heart rate for 30 minutes at least four times a week. Incorporate Qi/Chi building movement several times weekly as well - 3 Palms Rising is a simple beginning! Remember also to break up your sitting and move frequently during the day. 2. Get more sleep.  Sleep  is often the single most undervalued behavior in our lives, and one with immediate power to improve our experience i...

Mrs Takata often told her students 'Hands on, Reiki on!' emphasising the simplicity of engaging the Reiki energy. I liken it to charging a battery, if a battery is low, when you attach it to a charger, it 'draws' the energy it needs through the cord or jumper cables. When you take it off the charger, it no longer draws energy. Denise Linn - 'Flow' When we place our 'Reiki Charged' hands on someone needing energy, they draw the energy through us - 'Hands on, Reiki on!' When we take our hands off, they no longer 'draw' energy. (In second degree, we learn to consciously 'send' Reiki across distance of space & time, but the focus in First Degree is hands on work.) Mrs Takata also suggested eating simple food, full of vitality, in the hospital, she likely received simple Japanese fare - rice, steamed vegetables, Miso soup, fresh water & green tea. When preparing to receive Initiation into Reiki, students are encourage...

 When Takata, who brought Reiki to the West in the late 30s, was awaiting surgery, (which she avoided!) then healing from her stomach pains (Uterine tumor, gall stones, appendicitis) Dr Maeda & his sister the dietician told her to 'treat the hospital like a fancy resort hotel;' to rest up & enjoy the wholesome food. The dietician was trained in Reiki, so every day, as she prepared meals for her patients, she would bless the green tea, bless the simple meals: Rice, beans, steamed vegetables (especially carrots & beets) and seaweed ... Telling this story during a Reiki class, I pictured the dietician blessing the meal as she prepared it, & muttering to herself that she wished Takata KNEW about Reiki! That she didn't really need the surgery ... but she was a Westerner, and might not be receptive... So she did the best she could, blessing the food with Reiki .... Later, just prior to the surgery, Takata heard 'Surgery not necessary!' & that she...
