Hi and Welcome to "Pakula Healing Hands".

My intention is to give you an overview of what Reiki actually is, how it was begun and how it still continues today to offer relief to people who are willing to invest some time and effort into learning.

NAMASTE- what it means

I honour the place in you in which the entire universe dwells.

I honour the place you in which is of love, of truth, of light, and of peace.

When you are in that place in you, and I am in that place in me,

What Is Reiki? A Brief Overview

The knowledge that an unseen energy flows through all living things and is connected directly to the quality of health has been part of the wisdom of many cultures since ancient times. The existence of this "life force energy" has been verified by recent scientific experiments, and medical doctors are considering the role it plays in the functioning of the immune system and the healing process.

Reiki is a technique for stress reduction and relaxation that allows everyone to tap into an unlimited supply of "life force energy" to improve health and enhance the quality of life.

An amazingly simple technique to learn, the ability to use Reiki is not taught in the usual sense,

but is transferred to the student by the Reiki Master.

Its use is not dependent on ones intellectual capacity or spiritual development and, therefore, is available to everyone. It has been successfully taught to thousands of people of all ages and backgrounds.

A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through you and surrounds you. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit and creates many beneficial effects including relaxation and feelings of peace, security, and well-being. Many have reported miraculous results.

Reiki is a simple, natural, and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use.

Rei - Spiritual Wisdom

Mrs. Hawayo Takata, who introduced Reiki to the West, said the word Rei means universal and this is the definition most have accepted. However, Mrs. Takata also indicated that this interpretation is a very general one. The kanji ideograms have many levels of meaning. They vary from the mundane to the highly esoteric. So while it is true that Rei can be interpreted as universal, meaning that it is present everywhere, this level of interpretation really doesn't add to our understanding of Reiki.

Research into the esoteric meaning of the Japanese kanji character for Rei has given a much deeper understanding of this ideogram. The word Rei as it is used in Reiki is more accurately interpreted to mean "supernatural knowledge or spiritual consciousness".

This is the wisdom that comes from God or the "Higher Self ".

This is the God-Consciousness which is all knowing.

It understands each person completely.

It knows the cause of all problems and difficulties and knows what to do to heal them.

Ki -- The Life Force

Ki means the same as Chi in Chinese, Prana in Sanskrit and Ti or Ki in Hawaiian.

It has also been called,odic force, orgone, and bioplasma.

It has been given many other names by the various cultures that have been aware of it.

Ki is the life force.

It is also called the "vital life force or the universal life force".

This is the nonphysical energy that animates all living things.

As long as something is alive, it has life force circulating through it and surrounding it;

when it dies, the life force departs.

If your life force is low, or if there is a restriction in its flow,you will be more vulnerable to illness.

When it is high, and flowing freely, you are less likely to get sick.

Life force plays an important role in everything we do.

It animates the body and also is the primary energy of our emotions, thoughts and spiritual life.

The Chinese place great importance on the life force or what they call Chi.

They have studied it for thousands of years and have discovered there are many different kinds of Chi.

The "Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine" which is over 4,000 years old,

lists thirty-two different kinds of Chi or Ki.

Ki is used by martial artists in their physical training and mental development.

It is used in meditative breathing exercises called Pranayama, and by the shamans of all cultures for divination, psychic awareness, manifestation and healing.

Ki is the nonphysical energy used by all healers.

Ki is present all around us and can be accumulated and guided by the mind.

Reiki is Spiritually Guided Life Force Energy

It is the God-consciousness called Rei that guides the life force called Ki in the practice we call Reiki.

Therefore, Reiki can be defined as spiritually guided life force energy.

This is a meaningful interpretation of the word Reiki.

It more closely describes the experience most people have of it; Reiki guiding itself with its own wisdom, and being unresponsive to the direction of the practitioner.

Is Reiki a Religion?

While Reiki is spiritual in nature, it is not a religion.

It has no dogma, and there is nothing you must believe in order to learn and use Reiki.

In fact, Reiki is not dependent on belief at all and will work whether you believe in it or not.

Because Reiki comes from God, many people find that using Reiki puts them more in touch with the experience of their religion rather than having only an intellectual concept of it.

While Reiki is not a religion, for optimum well being in the light of Eastern medical theory that we are a mind-body-spirit unity, it is necessary to live and act in a way that promotes harmony with others.

Dr. Mikao Usui, the founder of the Reiki system of natural healing, recommended that one practice certain simple ethical ideals to promote peace and harmony, which are nearly universal across all cultures.

The Reiki Ideals - The Ethical Principles of Reiki

During a meditation several years after developing Reiki, Dr. Usui decided to add the Reiki Ideals to the practice of Reiki. The Ideals came in part from the five prinicples of the Meiji emperor of Japan whom Dr. Usui admired.

The Ideals were developed to add spiritual balance to Usui Reiki.

Their purpose is to help people realize that healing the spirit by consciously deciding to improve oneself is a necessary part of the Reiki healing experience. In order for the Reiki healing energies to have lasting results, the client must accept responsibility for her or his healing and take an active part in it.

Therefore, the Usui system of Reiki is more than the use of the Reiki energy.

It must also include an active commitment to improve oneself in order for it to be a complete system.

The ideals are both guidelines for living a gracious life and virtues worthy of practice for their inherent value.

Pakula Healing Hands

Preparation for Practice

Take several centering breaths.

I recommend you start each session with a healing affirmation and close by giving thanks.

Here is one such affirmation.

Hold your hands in prayer if you wish. This is very centering.

To add depth to your meditation and healing practices, visualize yourself connected to a field of love and light within, above and about our earth.

You can connect energetically and spiritually with intention.

The strongest global effect will be generated by your intending to share healing.

After a while you learn the subtle difference,

Between holding a hand and chaining a soul,

And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning,

And company doesn't mean security,

And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts,

And presents aren't promises,

And you begin to accept your defeats,

With your head up and your eyes open,

With the grace of a woman not the grief of a child,

And you learn to build all yours roads on today,

Because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans,

And futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight,

After a while you learn,

That even sunshine burns if you get too much.

So you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul,

Instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers,

And you learn that you really can endure...

That you really do have worth.

And you learn and learn...

With every goodbye you learn.
