Do you need verbul permission
By Len Thomas
I do not have to seek special approval!
In my every day life I spend a lot of time working with the energy that is called REIKI and I have yet to hear or read anything that describes what this energy really is.
What I don't intend to do is to enter into any argument as to who's Reiki is better, all I will do is to explain my approach and how I find what that connection is and some thoughts as to how to test for it.
Reiki is something that we do not really understand. Some go close but are then diverted onto the Spiritual Path and all of its complexities and taboo’s.
Reiki in its most basic form does not in any way resemble the Spiritual Path but its use does enhance your Spirituality and lift your consciousness to a higher level.
So if there is such a major difference how did it all get mixed up.
It got mixed up because most of those who were interested in Reiki from when Takata started teaching were very aware and connected in the Spiritual way so it was very easy for them to relate their experiences of Reiki to their Spiritual connections, they really had no other guidelines to go by but, they were wrong.
If you go to a Bible, '1 Corinthians 12' the statements are very clear about Spiritual gifts, not every body has them and, not all have the same and, they are different and varied but when you speak to them, those with those gifts, they expect that you have them as well and, it is not true.
They do the same with Reiki and then they conveniently forget the manifestation of those Spiritual Gifts.
So what is Reiki?
The origin of the word 'Reiki' is Japanese describing ‘Universal Life Force Energy’.
Different cultures have different names for this Energy; it is how you the individual make that connection that is important. You are born with some connection to “Reiki”, Universal Life Force Energy but that is as you are with Spiritual Gifts in all of their diversity even though, some think that they are specifically connected. If we were not connected to Universal Life Force energy then we would not be 'Alive' in this dimension.
It is not just that connection that was shown to Usui. It is much more!
The “Practice of Reiki” is an attunement, the application of a selection of individual vibrations to a persons selected Energy Centers “Chakras” by another who has certain knowledge. No special abilities just knowledge. This attunement is applied to those varied and selected Chakras or Energy centers of the person.
So what is this knowledge and how is it acquired?
Separating Reiki from Spiritual connections and the difference in explanation of 'Universal Life Force Energy' allows you to be more aware of the value of connecting directly to what Usui may have been shown, regardless of whether Usui did or not use symbols or whether it was Hitachi who introduced them the simple fact is that the symbols are a major part of the knowledge, awareness and an attunement.
Attunement, you ask what is that?
There are two things that I do not pass on until a person is able to absorb the knowledge and that has to do with the Attunement and they are;
1The Formula, and
2The method
So how does this Reiki really work?
It is at this point we should take a leaf out of those mysterious workings of the Spiritual Connections and just take a clear look at what and where we are about to experience.
Vibration, yes vibration, the whole of our existence is vibration. Einstein finally convinced us that the known Universe is all vibration, does this vibration exist elsewhere, Yes, we are surrounded by vibration in all of our spiritual realms and diversities, some do see and or feel these vibrations in many different ways.
What has this to do with Reiki?
That is what the practice of Reiki is all about, allowing us to access selected vibrations wherever and whatever they may be in selected energy centers in what we perceive to be our material 3rd dimensional body when in fact they are in our 4th dimensional emotional body.
So how does this happen?, what is the mystery?, why so much secrecy?
We will look at what really happens with the practice and the application of what is called Reiki.
In the majority Reiki practitioners accept that four symbols represent the core of the vibration of connecting to Reiki, others claim that many others exist, but for this discussion We are only looking at those symbols that are generally accepted as the main symbols that are universally published, what you should be doing is drawing them individually and holding them in your hand and allow yourself to become familiar with them, or in another word 'harmonize' with their vibrations.
Why?
To be aware of the individual vibrations that they emit.
Yes they do emit individual vibrations, but then we have to accept that some people feel those vibrations in different ways and not just in the way of spiritual gifts where some have and some do not, this time it is your emotional 4th dimensional body that allows that feeling of awareness to happen or in some cases may not appear to be felt.
Part of the technique of understanding what is happening is to take a scientific logical approach and to do a blind test with people.
Write each of the symbols on separate pieces of paper and seal them and just ask the person to allow their awareness to experience whatever it may be.
Do they all feel it the some way, Yes? / No?
The results are many and varied, just the same as with Spiritual Gifts, many and varied, but it does not really matter, you just let it happen.
So what is the problem with Reiki?
There is no problem with Reiki!
But there is there a problem with the 'Practice of Reiki', unless you are able to accept that the individual vibrations emitted by those individual symbols, recognised by Reiki Practitioners, are not as confined as to the totality of Spiritual Gifts but, that they have an individual signature that identifies them. Yes, then there is a very big problem and we as practitioners are the major problem as well as the attitude of the medical profession.
Is it with the Practice of Reiki and where and what we do is where we all fail?
Yes, by not being able to separate the totality or direction of Spiritual Universal Life Force Energy Gifts from the Practical application of the practice of Reiki, you may ask as to what I mean and yes I do recognise that in many different languages and cultures the translation may lose its intended meaning. Yes. I am well aware that many people think that when they read something when, in fact that is not what was really said then there is really much in understanding the difference between Reiki and Spiritual Gifts.
Let me make my point very much clearer, Reiki and Spiritual healing in all of their diversities are two entirely different things and yet a person with a correct Reiki Attunement has their spiritual gifts enhanced, whatever they may be, or how diverse those gifts may be, they are enhanced, but always remembering that they are separate and different.
How do I prove that, actually the test is very simple, go to any internet site, unless you already know the symbols 'Cho-Ku-Rei, Sei Hi Kai', Hon Sha Ze Sha Nen and the Master or more commonly described as (1), (2), (3), & (4): draw them individually on paper, as for a start just draw, '1', hold that piece of paper in either hand and then put that hand onto your heart, give it time, generally suggest about 5 min and just be aware of what may be happening.
What is happening?
That is the question that has never really been answered by the many who have tried in the past to answer it and they have all failed.
Lets for a moment step into another understanding and look at a different direction;
We have three bodies?
Does anybody doubt that we have a material body, a body of dense vibration, you can touch this material body, this is called our 3rd dimensional reality.
Then we have a psychic body, a body where all of our emotions reside, also this body of different vibrations that holds all of our Chakras and meridians, can you feel this body. No, not as you can feel your material body but you are aware of many of your emotions, you do feel that shame, anger, pain and all of those other emotions, this is also where our sub-conscious and unconsciousness resides, there also may be much more in this 4th dimensional body than we can ever imagine.
And then we have our Spirit body, the body of our mind.
So where does this all lead us, Spiritual Healers will tell you that it is the spirit guides who do all of the healing but, I have an opinion that not all has been going the way that God intended with Spiritual Healing and so Usui was shown something different, shown individual symbols that each in their own reality are healing vibration's as simple as that, 4 symbols that individually or in certain combinations have the power to heal but where.
Again that answer is very simple.
All healing must first take place in the 4th dimensional emotional body. Many psychiatrists will support this statement but will then differ as to how it can happen. I do not have any answer as to how this happens except that the vibrations attributed to 'Reiki Healing' do have a major and lasting effect.
I Remind you what Plato said 3500 years ago;
QUOTE: "The cure of the part should not be attempted without treatment of the whole. No attempt should be made to cure the body without the soul.
Let no one persuade you to cure the head until he has first given you his soul to be cured, for this is the great error of our day, that physicians first separate the soul from the body." PLATO
I can only describe what others who through their spiritual gifts of sight report. There are people who can scan but what do they scan, most seem to just scan and then report as to what they may be aware of and this seems to be around looking for damage in the material body, what I ask is that they look into the 4th dimensional emotional body and observe the disturbances that may be in that body. When this approach is adopted the comments seem to resolve around what may be considered as either a peacefulness or a kaleidoscope of colours in different parts of that 4th dimensional emotional body that may restrict the ability of the material body to self heal, then again these comments are only in the early stage of understanding.
So in conclusion how are we able to test this connection that we are all told happens anyway.
I do not believe that many really know how to apply these attunements, let alone understand as to what really happens, if you are a believer in the use of 'Dowsing' you are aware of the tools that may give you answers, if you work in the spiritual realm and are prepared to accept that all that you are told you may may have not always being told the truth and if you are able to lift to a higher level to obtain verification then you may find answers that may ask you to reconsider what you may think is truth and if again you are aware of the technique described as Kinesiology, again you have the ability to verify your beliefs as Kinesiology is alleged to connect to your unconsciouses self.
There is also another way, a physical way to check for a connection, consider this.
When you are performing a healing and your hands are over the crown of the client, what are you aware of!
In what direction are you “aware” that the energy may appear to flow. Does it seem to flow down or up, is it possible that there may to be an area in the crown that may be considered to be like a pool of hot energy similar to a pool of magma, now at this stage I do not want to tell you what you should or should not draw as a conclusion but don't tell me that you have reiki unless you know how to explain all of these different feelings, to ignore these comments is as though you do not want to know anything about the car that you are driving down the road.
Remember I am not trying or attempting to compare my Reiki to yours all I am doing is explaining this connection from my perspective. If any of the tests that I am aware of seem to indicate a criticism of your Reiki then I suggest that you are not open to what is really out there.
So what is this vibration that we call Reiki and how does it apply to the application of the practice of Reiki.
Earlier I mentioned that the symbols all hold an individual vibration and have suggested a couple of examples as to how you can become familiar with them. If in your practice you have been advised as a procedure to place the symbols around and in or over the client then you are in fact you are harmonizing with the energy, you were connecting directly to that individual vibration of that symbol and maybe suppressing you own awareness. Yes you are harmonizing with the energy directly into your 4th dimensional Emotional body. So why do you need an attunement.
A Reiki attunement is applying the selected individual vibrations, as a written statement, into selected Chakras and allowing you to elevate your consciousness to a higher level.
So be aware of what I have said, many techniques suggest that symbols be used and all they are doing is harmonizing, not that there is anything wrong with this technique, in fact it is something that is beneficial to the client providing that you are aware as to how to apply it and its expected benefits, they can be enormous and that is where we make the biggest mistake, not understanding what can really be done or how to suggest their use.
Whenever anybody has come to me and they indicate that they have Reiki I always practice what I preach and check, unfortunately in the majority they do not have it and that is the biggest disappointment. No, I do not as some of the published statements where some “masters” suggest that for somebody to join their group that have have to be re-attuned to their way that is not what an attunement is all about. Still there are many that think that they can control, we have all heard of the Grand masters.
So open your eyes and mind to what is really going on, Usui was shown the open door to the Universe as separate to Spiritual Gifts.
I have a couple of other comments that I would like to bring to your notice.
“When we were in Spirit and decided to come to this 3rd dimensional linear life to again experience what we describe as living, we preplanned what it was that we wanted to happen, the good and the bad”, that was our choice to experience.
When we, in this material experience, pray to God to remove those what we consider to be bad “Things” and to only make something that what is good then we may be breaking our own preplan of experience.
Maybe God is aware of that and will not appear to help other than to remind us that this is what we planned, also remember that we in this experience have free will and if somebody done everything for us where would we be in our learning curves.
I have had a lot of different difficulties in recent times and when I have asked others to heal me I have lost count of the times that they have said to me “You can do it yourself”, I still accept the healing within energy circles but when I really want to progress I am now more than at any time aware that it is up to me to do it.
So in conclusion; Spiritual Gifts you are born with.
Reiki is an attunement far in excess of those Gifts and is a physical application of selected individual vibrations applied as a formula to selected energy centres.
Open yourself to reality. There is nothing to afraid of. Len
