What is Reiki?
as interpreted by Pastor Christie LaValley, Reiki Master Teacher
In order to explain Reiki we have to look at the bigger picture.
The universe is completely made out of energy. From this energy
everything is create. The star, the planets, the moons, the trees, the
plants, people, pets and even little one celled amoebas. Those is hard
to think that the couch or chair that you are sitting on is made of the
same energy that you are made of. But it is.. Science has proven that
solid objects are not solid but squillions of closely dense vibrating
atoms.
Every atom has two components. There's the nucleus at the
center made of protons and neutrons and then there's a whole bunch of
electrons whizzing around that nucleus. . However, an atom primarily
lots of space with a very small nucleus and electrons of negative
electricity. A chair as solid as it is, is open space and electricity.
So if atoms are empty space, how does your butt even know the chair
is there? Why do you not fall through As stated on np,r Adam Frank
explains:
The answer is as simple as it is weird. It's all just forces.
Cracking
like lightning through the void, all the specks of electrons and the
specks of nuclei are constantly interacting through a force called
electromagnetism. Each interaction is carried out through the jolting
exchange of particles of pure energy called photons (which is really
just a nubbins of light). Each photon swapped equals a little push or a
pull — a force — exerted across the emptiness. That's really what's
keeping the stuff we call your butt from drifting through the stuff we
call your chair.
So, the truth of the matter, dear friends, is
there is no "solid" matter. Everything you think of as solid — tables,
chairs, a '69 cherry red Ford Mustang, your child's noggin — none of it
is really solid. Instead, there are only rapid-fire bursts of pure
energy carrying forces between impossibly small flecks of somethingness.
And all of it is lost in an atomic void as empty as intergalactic
space.
Think about that the next time you plop down in a chair.

So if your child’s noggin is nothing but pure energy that came
from the universe, scientifically whether proven yet or not we are a
collective part of the universe. It is undeniable,even though, you are
bound to question it. It is what humans do. We question things, we
examine things, we doubt things, we study things, we mess with the order
of things to prove its existence or to manipulate it to our advantage.
However, humans tend to need to be able to see things to perceive them
as truths. But as explained above an atom is small. And that is what often messed up our energy flow.
I can not prove to you
the existence of Universal life force energy or the fact that you are
able to influence it with your brain’s thoughts as part of the
collective, but if these physicists are telling us the truth of their
studies that we are vibrating energy made from the energy found
throughout the universe,there is no reason not to believe. Even more
interesting is in ancient eastern Ayurvenic Medicine Chinese Medicine,
in Yoga, in religions such as Taoism.and even Christianity they have
been speaking of this Universal Life Force energy by many names Prana,
Chi, Qi, Ki, the light, the holy spirit which is part of a trinity of
God and Jesus Christ, and Reiki .
I am not trying to commit
blasphemy, I am believe I am part of God, a daughter of God, a sister
to the earth and the sun. I am breath in air, I drink water. So they
are part of me and I am part of them. We are collectively one. So when
one is suffering from a malfunction or loss of energy which can cause
disease, it is our obligation to call forth God, our universal life
force, to allow us to assist our brother or sister. Being part of the
collective allows us access to this. All of us.
It is
believed as organic beings, we are born with the ability to renew our
energy with ease. As we age, it is not as easy. Disease or death can
manifest as energy decreases or does not flow correctly. The nice part
is both science and religion do not believe we just cease to exist.
Energy or souls move one to another plane of existence for energy and
the soul can not be destroyed.. How could they both be wrong? I doubt
either are.
Moving forward to Reiki … Reiki translated into
English a few ways, Ghost Vapor How close to holy spirit this falls.
Its earliest translation was Universal life force energy or sacred
energy.
Mikao Usui was the originator of Reiki. He was
born in 1865 at the beginning of the Meiji Restoration in Japan to an
upper class family of high ranking of the Hatamot Sumurai.. As a youth,
he studied with Tendia Buddhist Monks. He furthered his studies with
everything from medicine, to history, psychology, esoteric art of
divination and incantation. He traveled to Europe, America and China.
For 200 years prior to Usui birth Japan had been in
isolation from the rest of the world. Usui grew up in a time of radial
change and his people were lost and confused. It is known that Usui
himself was troubled.
They were searching for some sort of
new spiritual development.. This was Usui inspiration. He wanted to
develop a system that would provide a simple method where an individual
could reconnect with their innate spirituality without the constraints
of any particular religion. Reiki origins come from a mixed bag of
traditional beliefs and philosophies. He wanted everyone to have access
to a path of enlightenment. The hands on healing that we think of
today is just part of his original system, It is said that the system of
Reiki came to him in a vision on Mount Kurama, a place of spiritual
legend and roots in Tendia Buddhism and shinto, shugendo, samurai and
martial arts.Christianity was believed to be an influence too, but only
because of some similarities.
Close to a hundred and fifty
years later, Reiki is now a common word associated with the laying of
hands, but that is only a small part.. People who do become attuned to
Reiki are known as Reiki practitioners and its practices are similar to
that of yoga with meditations,the use of mantras, symbols, clean healthy
living, respect of all and newer western forms of Reiki work on the
chakras (our energy centers,) The main difference is as a practitioner
should be attuned (awakened) to the energy through a teacher. Once
attuned the practitioner has more accessibility to the innate part of
their being and can use their connectedness to the universal life force
energy to help heal others with the laying of hands, intentions or
through meditation as well as healing themselves The Reiki system is a
beautiful gift of intention and connectedness
I hope this article
gives you a basic understanding of how Reiki works, how it came to be,
and the intentions of the system of Reiki. If you have any questions,
feel free to leave a comment and I will do the best I can to answer it.
