“The Process of Empowering One to Heal Themselves.” This definition of Reiki was shared with me, through the act of trance channeling, in 1995 by Wei Chi. Wei Chi, a Tibetan shaman, who walked the earth plane 5,000 years ago.

Wei Chi brought forth a much more interactive, client participatory and extensive form of the healing art that we call Reiki. Over a four month time period, my life was dominated by Wei Chi channeling through me from which came the book The Lost Steps Of Reiki ? The Channeled Teachings of Wei Chi.

Since 1996, Wei Chi has been working with me to help bring, as fully as possible, the modern version of what was given to him by Master which today we call, “Wei Chi Tibetan Reiki”.

For the first few years, the process was interwoven with traveling around the country, speaking to Reiki groups, through dialogues, and visiting healing centers and stores. In that part of the process, I was sharing from Wei Chi, both the additional things that never came forward in Usui Reiki, as well as some philosophical differences.

Wei Chi?s commentary only used the most consistent form of Reiki at that time, the Reiki Alliance Reiki, as the reference point. As disdainful as he was of certain ways in which he felt the Reiki Alliance version of Reiki was an improper representation of the healing art, he was equally disdainful of the way in which renegade Reiki practitioners inconsistently added, subtracted, and sometimes, even misrepresented the Reiki they had originally learned. He felt the lack of oversight and standards of any kind was leading to the dilution and destruction of the credibility of Reiki, in general.

Wei Chi was also cautious about any healing system in which clients were not asked to acknowledge their responsibility or even agree to participate in their own process of healing. He expressed concern that, at best, it seemed as if the client?s symptoms might be alleviated in the process but no time or energy was spent addressing the cause of the imbalances within the client?s life.

For over two years, I traveled full time sharing the information Wei Chi had given me. In my travels, I met a wide variety of Reiki students and teachers, from the strictest of Reiki Alliance students and teachers to students who had received all three levels in one day, some of whom couldn?t even tell me who Usui was or demonstrate a hand position. The inconsistencies and various representations of Reiki was mind boggling.

During my travels, a transitional training was created, with Wei Chi?s help, to help people who were at least at a Reiki level 2, to join Wei Chi?s form of Reiki at the Apprentice Level. In that training, one explored Wei Chi?s definition of Reiki and learned about the differences in such things as hand positions, long distance healing, client interaction, symbols, and the overarching goal of Reiki itself. The student that was attuned into the Wei Chi Tibetan Reiki was opened to a line of intuitive messaging that helped clients move towards a more empowered and self-healing place in their lives.

Also, the student was introduced to what the next level (Practitioner) of Wei Chi?s Reiki looked like. The practitioner Level includes an overview of the Wei Chi Tibetan Reiki Treatment Series, which consists of seven, two-hour sessions. It is within this treatment series that Wei Chi?s original offering takes the client on the journey of becoming more empowered, self-healing, and self-aware.

Additionally, in the Practitioner Level, students learn from their participation, how to elevate their intuitive messaging, learn to create powerful “homework” for the client, perform in-session assessments, and to effortlessly shift from intellectual to intuitive and back again.

The responses I received from the sharing of this information went from people being very excited and telling me, “I have always know there was more!” to borderline death threats where they exclaimed, “You?re a heretic and you should be shot for trying to ruin Reiki like this!”. I have had all kinds of responses to the messages from Wei Chi.

Over the past 14 years, Wei Chi has continued to work with me to structure and grow the system to better fit this day and age. He has added a Three, and Five Session Treatment Series, as well as a single modified treatment to the original Seven Session Treatment Series. The work has also expanded to include a Medical Intuitive Level and a Counseling Level. The beauty of a living system is that it grows and evolves with the needs of the people who are receiving it.

In my travels, it was sad for me to discover that in the explosive growth that took place as a result of the proliferation of renegade Reiki Masters Wei Chi had been correct in his assessments.

Everything has its place. For some the more passive form of Reiki, like Usui, is made to order. For others, a more active, interactive form of Reiki like Wei Chi Tibetan Reiki, where one “gets into the trenches with the client”, seems to be a better fit, and of course, as in all things, some people like to have both abilities in their tool belt.

However, for the people that feel Wei Chi?s definition of Reiki, “the process of empowering one to heal themselves” does work, it feels like coming home.

With the number of teachers, trainings, and institutions teaching Reiki, interested apprentices are at a loss as to where and who to enroll under in order to receive the Reiki attunements necessary to practice the art. It is also quite hard to find which Reiki institutions and Reiki masters are truly qualified in initiating new learners. For students, finding the right master is crucial. They’ve got to find that person who has the energy to bring them exactly what they need and expect from Reiki.

If you’re looking for a Reiki Master and are willing to enroll in a Reiki school, here are the things that you have to know before enlisting:

1. Reiki proficiency
It is very important that your master has been working with Reiki long enough to know everything about it, including the techniques not written in any book or manual. His own training is going to be very relevant as well. As much as possible, the teacher should spend ample time teaching the craft and is using it personally.

2. Lineage
There are different types of Reiki and each of them follows certain techniques and teachings. If you want to learn Usui Reiki, it is very important that you learn the art from a real Usui Reiki master. Know the lineage of your Reiki master as it will determine what type of Reiki he’ll teach you.

3. Qualifications
Certain institutions require qualifications before students are taught the basic principles of the art. But for Usui Reiki, there are rarely any qualifications required. For advanced Reiki classes though, like Karuna Reiki, you would have to be a certified Usui Reiki master first.

4. Classes Coverage
When learning Reiki, you have to know beforehand what are the things you will learn once you have decided to enroll. Know the total class hours required and how much time is allotted to theoretical instructions and the amount of time given for hands-on practice.

5. Application
Students should also ask the Reiki master about the things they will be able to do after the training. It should be clear right from the start if the lessons that will be given to you would make you an advanced Reiki practitioner or it would be more for personal use.

6. Fees and certification
Reiki instructions correspond to a certain amount of money. Know how much you have to pay for the training sessions and whether you’ll get a manual and a certification after completing the course.

7. Taking Notes
Some Reiki masters forbid the use of notes or recorders in their class. This practice can be traced back during the time when Reiki and its symbols are regarded to be sacred. As such, the whole lesson has to be memorized and not written down.

8. Symbols
The most important elements of the art of Reiki are its symbols. Know straight from the Reiki master whom you’ll train under the actual number of symbols you will learn in the course.

9. Support
A Reiki support group is very essential because through it, you will be able to enrich your knowledge in the art after completing the training sessions. There should be adequate support from your master too ? even after you have finished all the necessary sessions with him.

10. Respect and reputation
Before enlisting for a Reiki training under a master or an institution, it is necessary that you know first whether they enjoy good reputations as Reiki masters and practitioners. They should also be respectful of other practitioners and masters who don’t belong to their lineage.

Reiki is a traditional ‘energy-based’ healing practice, with roots in Japan, though the practice itself has in the last 80 or so years of its existence spread to much of the world beyond Japan, particularly finding widespread appeal in the United States.

Reiki is carried out by trained practitioners (either to heal themselves or their ‘clients’) and there are three degrees of Reiki training.

In the first degree of Reiki training, potential practitioners get familiarized with the basic principles of the practice. Among the most basic things learnt at this degree are the way to hold their hands while in practice (in order to make the healing take effect), as well as the Reiki code of conduct and other such basics. It is not hard to attain the first degree of Reiki training. Indeed, the recommended training period is just four days, during which the student’s are given the first four ‘attunements’ of Reiki, which are important here as Reiki healing is based on properly ‘attuning’ one’s ? or one’s patient’s energy. So the student is given one attunement a day. And with these, the new Reiki practitioner can not only heal themselves of various ailments, but also even heal others seeking their help in healing.

In the second degree of Reiki training, the potential practitioner is introduced to the often secret Reiki symbols and how to employ them in the healing practice. Here, again, the potential practitioner is given a further attunement, and with this, he cannot not only heal himself or others near him, but also heal others away from him. The attunement given here also increases the strength of the healing.

Then there is the third degree of Reiki training. This is seen as the ultimate qualification in Reiki training, an attainment of which confers to one the title of Reiki master. A Reiki master can not only heal themselves and others seeking their help, but they can also train other potential Reiki practitioners. And since training Reiki practitioners essentially involves giving attunements to them, then it follows that the practitioner who attains the third degree of Reiki training can now actually give attunements to other people seeking to become Reiki practitioners themselves. The attainment of Reiki mastery is not very easy ? especially in the more conservative forms of Reiki teachings ? and it might therefore be years before a student can earn this third degree of Reiki training (though it might be even possible to earn it in a day in the more ‘liberal’ Reiki practices).? The traditional name for this third degree of Reiki training was Shinpiden, and it is actually Hawayo Takata (one of the earliest practitioners of Reiki healing) who introduced the term ‘Reiki master’ for this level of Reiki training. Hawayo, who had traveled very widely in the United States (and who is responsible for the spread of Reiki to the states and indeed to the rest of the world outside Japan) also introduced a mark-up price for training at this level, namely ten thousand US dollars.

Human touch represents warmth, serenity, nurturing, and healing. It is human nature for people to touch themselves and others when comforting or relieving pain. Whether we are experiencing pain, comforting a sick child or caring for a bird with broken wing the act of touching makes a great impact. A child inherently wants their parent to touch where it hurts to make it better. These values at the core of humanity are a foundation of touch therapies such as Reiki.

Japanese word Reiki means the Universal Life Force Energy of the body. It consists of two words. They are Rei and Ki. Rei is the word for the Universe or Supreme Power and Ki is the word for Life Force Energy.

It is considered that the Japanese Ki, the Chinese Chi and the Hindu’s Praana have quite a similar meaning. They all represent the energy that animates all of the life. When this energy is used for the spiritual and therapeutic practices by individual or group of the people then that process is called as Reiki. Now, ample amount of scientific study is going on through out the world about the existence and the effects of this energy as well as the process of Reiki with which it is redirected and administered. Quantum Physics is one of the subject in which the study of such energy type is done. Even though the process of Reiki (Ray-Key as it is pronounced), an ancient hands-on healing art is considered of over 2,500 yrs old, it has gained popularity in resent time in 20th century, a lot.

Concept

The concept of Reiki is quite peculiar. It is considered in Reiki philosophy that human body stores the memory of emotional or mental upset in its tissue, glands, and organs. These unresolved memories create blocks or impairments that create an impact in the functioning of the body that can lead to disease or imbalance. It is considered in Reiki philosophy that touch is the way with which these impairments can be dissolved and body condition of wellness is restored.

It is considered according to the concept of Reiki; we all have the ability to direct the healing energy of the Universe through our hands. There are many good reasons for why you should do Reiki. It is considered that scientists have measured this some sorts of energy and confirmed what mystics have known for millenniums: There is an invisible non-physical energy that supports the visible Universe. The study of Reiki is the uncovering of our natural ability to be healing channels using this invisible energy.

It is considered according to Reiki concept that we each have four aspects or bodies. They are the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. Reiki energy attempts to balance all four aspects or these body types. It is also considered that anybody can transmit the energy within, to other bodies with way of touch. This transmitted energy helps in resolving the blocks created by physical and mental traumas. That means we can say that Reiki energy strives to remove the cause of the blocks. Apart from using this energy for others, same way it can be used for self treatment as well as effect of energy is the same but the practical way of its use is the key of success. Since the cause of the imbalance is always at the mental, emotional or spiritual level and its effects are being shown on the body, affirmations and visualizations are often used in combination with Reiki to achieve the best results.

Effectiveness

Reiki has been found to be very effective in treating headaches, backaches and stress related conditions. It is also beneficial in the treatment of chronic conditions such as arthritis and asthma. There are many experiences of benefits or healing from Reiki in virtually every condition known. It is considered to be easy, effective and highly relaxing in nature.

Effectiveness of the Reiki therapy can be shown as follows

* Reiki is useful in pain reduction at any part of the body.
* Reiki is considered useful for relaxation and stress related disorders.
* Reiki is useful while traditional medicinal treatment is being administered.
* Reiki provides assistance in surgical recovery.
* Reiki is considered of increasing the energy level and vitality of the body.
* Reiki is considered of creating the inner harmony in the body environment.
* Reiki is useful in restoring the balance to the body.
* Reiki is considered helpful in individual growth.
* Reiki is considered helpful in easing the transition process with the body.

Reiki is a traditional form of healing, with its roots in Japan, but which has in the last few decades spread and gained popularity in many other parts of the world. To become an effective Reiki practitioner, one has to take a training course. These courses are normally offered by people who have attained the third degree of Reiki training, since it is the attainment of that third degree of Reiki training that gives one the title of a Reiki master, with the ability to confer ‘attunements’ to new student practitioners. And in order to perform Reiki healing either on oneself or on others, one needs to make use of the attunements which in turn can only be attained from a Reiki master, meaning that Reiki is an art you have to learn by signing up for a course; and it is therefore not something you can learn by yourself, as you would not be able to confer the relevant attunements to yourself.

There are numerous people offering Reiki courses, and if you are considering taking up one, you will naturally find yourself having to make a choice of one over the other. And as a criterion for choosing a Reiki course, there are a number of things you need to look for.

The first and foremost thing you need to look for in a Reiki course is the school of thought the people offering the course subscribe to. This is because there are many schools of thought in Reiki, and you need to see whether the philosophy of the school of thought the practitioners of Reiki offering the course subscribe to is compatible with your expectations of Reiki. This is in turn because there are schools of thought in Reiki teaching that emphasize on the self-healing properties of Reiki (where the ideal state would be having everybody subscribe to Reiki for their own healing), while there are those that view that view Reiki as a specialized field, with an aim of learning it to heal others in the same way a few people go to medical school to learn medicine in order to be able to treat the rest of the population.

The other major thing you need to look at in a Reiki course is the Reiki master offering it ? and see if he or she is a person you would love working with. Remember, as mentioned earlier, Reiki is a discipline that depends to a large extent on master to student impartation, and therefore not one of things where the role of the teacher is detached from the learning process. The knowledge and experience of the master in Reiki practice are other things you might also want to look at, in addition to rapport between you and him or her.

Costs vary between the Reiki courses offered by different schools, and this too might be a factor you can look at in choosing a Reiki course. According to one authoritative website on this subject, Reiki courses for the first degree, for instance vary from between $75 at the lowest end, to $200 at the higher end, with the costs at the master teacher level varying between $500 and $10,000 ? meaning that comparing the figures (without compromising training standards) can yield worthwhile savings.

The Reiki Manual would be like any other manual or a guide to the principles and ethics of Reiki. This manual is not a hard and fast compilation but most Reiki manuals given out to students and teachers alike would contain similar thoughts in order to maintain the ideals of this spiritual tradition. Hough you might see the contents differing from branch to branch and from Master to Master the primary principles remain very much the same. Of course a Reiki manual is a constant work in progress.

?

Here we are going to list out some of the commonly included topics in a Reiki manual:

Ethics

• Since the nature of Reiki is for the most part, healing there are certain requirements that need to be observed. The greatest requirement for a healer is to have the permission of the person to be healed. We all know that healing begins from within and as a healer it is not possible to force healing on anybody. So it is a must to obtain the permission of the person to be healed especially in situations where there is a tendency to judge others ? X is addicted to drugs and requires healing but you as a healer aren’t a judge of that. Though Reiki is the way of compassion it may need being hard-hearted sometimes.
• Healing is not always curing, never promise a cure as this is not something that is under your control.
• Never attempt to give medical advice or ask anyone to refrain from medication.
• Respecting client confidentiality is imperative to a Reiki practitioner to ensure trust.
• Never let the power of Reiki turn you into a Godman or Godwoman ? by others or yourself. The energy is just being channelised by you but it is not you that is bringing about the healing.
• Be responsible about the energy you are directing, energy should be used with caution and respected.

Symbols

There are three kinds of symbols that are used in Reiki imparted to the student at level 2, the fourth symbol is disclosed in level 3. These symbols don’t have any power of their own but are generally used as a focal point or for meditation or as a trigger to connect with and focus the different frequencies of the Universal Spiritual Energy. Using the symbols is a personal choice and may be used always or till you would like or not at all. Use your intuition to guide you as there is no right or wrong way to do Reiki. Later more symbols have been added to the original four and symbols from other traditions like ?Om’ from Hinduism is also widely used. There are multiple ways to use these symbols and attuning to these symbols may differ from school to the other.

?

Reiki Grounding

Grounding is needed after performing spiritual exercises in order to break connection with the astral plane in the absence of which you could feel “spaced out”. Reiki energy is great for grounding. Many people have different ways of grounding their excess energy. You can use Reiki energy to balance your chakras and ground yourself.

As a closer knowing or practicing Reiki is not away to enlightenment but it is a life long journey that walks in a spiral to the Divine.
