Spirituality

Through a mystical experience at the end of the 21-day period, the symbols that 'attuned' one to the Reiki energy were revealed to him. Thus began the modern-day era of Reiki.

Today, people all over the world practice this form of healing energy. Once attuned by a Reiki Master, the practitioner becomes a channel for this energy that pervades everything. In essence, the practitioner becomes like 'cosmic jumper cables' providing a boost of needed energy to those requesting it.

The person receiving the Reiki energy can be lying down or sitting in a chair. The practitioner simply places his or her hands on the individual and thus begins the transference of the Reiki energy.

Most usually the person receiving a Reiki treatment will feel very relaxed. A 15-minute Reiki treatment is equivalent to an hour's sleep. When a person becomes relaxed they allow their own natural healing abilities to take over and healing can occur very rapidly.

Hawayo Takata, who brought Reiki to the western world had a Reiki clinic in Hawaii. On a daily basis, she and others practiced Reiki and claimed it to heal everything from leukemia to headaches to arthritis.

Reiki will help bring the body into balance. Due to Reiki making one feel relaxed, I have found that Reiki is great for reducing stress. Reiki is wonderful for helping one fall asleep. It is like a natural sedative.

From my own experiences, after several Reiki sessions, one lady attributed the power of Reiki to helping reduce the lymphatic cancer she had been diagnosed with. Her doctors could not understand how the cancer could have diminished so rapidly. They dubbed her their 'miracle child.' Another person I had the opportunity to working with along with other Reiki practitioners, credited Reiki for helping to stop his headaches after several sessions. It is quite rewarding to see the smiling face after a Reiki treatment if nothing else.

If one desires to learn how to do Reiki, one must contact a Reiki Master that he or she feels comfortable with and arrange for a class. Typically, Reiki is taught in three levels, with each level allowing the practitioner to channel more and more of this universal life force energy. The student is 'attuned' to the Reiki energy by the Reiki Master. Once attuned, the practitioner will have this energy available the rest of his or her life.

Reiki can be used for mental and emotional healing as well. The person receiving the energy will only do so to the extent he or she is ready to begin the healing process. It is generally regarded that the Reiki practitioner is just the facilitator of this life force energy which allows the subject's mind and body to relax to a deep level so that it's own innate healing ability occurs. The Reiki practioner receives healing as well, while giving a treatment, thus keeping his or her energies in greater balance on all levels.

I have used Reiki on plants as well. One year I used Reiki on my tomato plants and had the biggest plants I had ever grown. Reiki is used in over 100 hospitals in the U.S. and has been used in some hospitals before and after surgery to help accelerate the healing process. One story I read was of a practitioner that had broken a bone and immediately began giving himself Reiki. Once he got to the hospital, the bone had begun to heal much more rapidly than it would have otherwise.

Reiki is a wonderful tool to help anyone help to facilitate healing in others or in themselves. In this millennium, we may see Reiki and other more accepted forms of alternative practices be used more and more along side the medical practioners of today.

What is success? It probably means different things to different people. One person said, “Success is the ability to fulfill your desires with effortless ease.” Another person said, “Success is an outcome and a state of mind and being and a matter of choice.” And still another concluded, “Success is your belief that you will achieve anything you desire.” There seem to be a consensus that accepts the definition of success as, “The achievement of something desired, planned, or attempted.”It is i…

Several years ago after I presented a workshop entitled “Spirituality at Work: Because You Can’t Leave Home Without You™” I got a phone call from someone who saw the program booklet. She was very interested in the topic and wanted to know how to “get it” at her company. She went on to ask, “How can I implement spirituality in our organization?” My response was simple. “You can’t. Spirituality isn’t something you implement; it’s something you are.” From that point on I became an ardent observ…
