			<description>Being Reiki is a lovely phenomenon, we all agree to it.... i thought i would invite some share from buddies out there that what they feel 'being reiki' brings to them ?









to start with, lets see ! 



........being reiki, we relaize that anger dissipates as soon as we allow freedom to others





........being reiki, my worries dissipate when i detach from outcomes



........being reiki, work is not a burden anymore, rather a path to personal completion

			<description>1. Jeffrey, can you tell us a bit about yourself, your background with Reiki, who you trained with and what service you provide now?



 



I learned Reiki at the beginning of 2001, just in time for the great events of that year.  It was most comforting to have found a strong tool for healing in the midst of loss.  Over the next two years, I practiced and learned, becoming a Reiki Master in 2003, just before volunteering with the SPARK folks to do Reiki in the parks of New York for 9/11 (see  ...</description>

			<description>  At first when started learning Reiki I had mixed feelings.  At first it was  what on earth is this all about?  Slowly I became quite fascinated when I realised that I could actually not only help myself but also others.  After Reiki 2 I began reading books trying to find out as much as I could about the subject.  The more I read  the feeling of wonder began to be replaced with a desire to learn more and more.

Suddenly I became confused with all the different  viewpoints.  I was analysing everything  ...</description>

			<description>hi Frank 



Thanks for the info... Drawing CKR with tounge on roof top of mouth is very powerful feeling... However i dont precisely recollect whether the technique was gyoshi ho or gyoshi kokki (or kokyo) ho...one is for empowering breath and other is sweetening of breath for initiations... Please pour some light if you have that info handy atm.



Hey how manage to add accent over 'o' in gassho  ? Some keyboard trick?



Take care

			<description>hi buddies!



Good noon 



reiki sessions often give us a feel of a spiritual experience, or if you choose to describe otherwise, reiki sessions give us a sensation that an energetic 'connection' has been established between us and the client.. 



within initiations, such 'connection' is more highly visible, and some would say, is the essence of the whole initiation ceremony...



what do you feel about it ? and how do you view about importance of 'rapport' within a reiki session, be it a  ...</description>

 Since I got involved in Reiki, specifically Komyo, I`ve been interested in the nature  of compasion. This link I will post, has a short read by a fellow we all know. It`s not that long and I feel this article to be of value to anyone who can understand it`s concepts.

			<description>namaskar,



i have been very busy hence could not post any articles or posts for the past couple of months.



on saturday, i attuned a blind person as reiki master. it was a challenge.

now he is already doing healing work and now will take up teach reiki to his fellow students.



he will utilize the reiki manuals to get some pages , main ones, into braille so that it is easier for them rather than memorizing everything.



i am so happy i wanted to share this information with this site.

We know Usui sensei observed an earthquake in his vicinity in later years of his life, and we have also heard that he worked zealously for the affected people. I want (rather request) researchers to enlighten us with his 'way' of working in such situations ? For example :

Today I went to the William Lee Rand's website to place an order for a subscr&#105;ption and some back issues that interested me. I checked out the ART/ Master manual and wanted to purchase it. Turns out that I can't because I am not a teacher yet. That was like a whack on my head with a fly swatter!



&quot;I am not qualified.&quot; &quot;I am not a teacher yet&quot; They want a certificate so I can prove it, so I can purchase the book.

It actually made me sad.

			<description>If the reason for the symbols is intent &amp; focus, something doesnt' make sense. 



they came from Japan. A place spiritual, from a spiritual path, taught by an exceptionally spiritual man. It's limited my understanding, but knowing what i do bout the Japanese 100 years ago, i find it curious they'd need something to help them focus. Hehe, were folks that 'backward' mentally up to 100 years ago, that they needed this kinda assitance to focus?

It's about initiations. 



Would you initiate someone who couldn't understand the things as most of the rest of us could? Would you initiate someone who was clearly sub-intelligent, thereby making it next to impossible to convey what the initiations entail, what they might do, what is &amp; isn't acceptable in Reiki practice,  how they might change their life. Possible healing crisis, etc, etc, etc.

			<description><![CDATA[I have a question.  Do you have to have a piece of paper or a certificate that says that you are a Reiki master or a practitioner in order to use Reiki on someone?
<br />

<br />
What if you were already trained or learned to do Reiki, but wasn't given the so called 'certificate' that you were trained in Reiki?  
<br />

<br />
I am just wondering out of curiosity.  Thanks. <img src="http://illiweb.com/fa/i/smiles/icon_biggrin.png" alt="Very Happy" longdesc="1" />]]></description>

			<description>Hi All



Thought some of you might like to know that I have been asked by a local radio station (North Manchester FM) to give a radio interview about Reiki!   



It is on Friday 27th Aug, just after midday! You can listen online at:

http://www.northmanchesterfm.org/ on the Julie Burnell show.



I will try and remember to get a plug in about Reiki Learning Lounge!

This is often the first question I ask my students and it is also the first question usually asked by Phyllis Furumoto of her interviewees on her radio show.



I'll start the ball rolling!

			<description>Spiritual Healer I love your quote

Give a Reiki treatment and help for a time.

Give the gift of a Reiki attuenment and help for a lifetime!



I have folks who come to me for 

Reiki sessions who have been 

diagnosed with cancer. I know the 

benefits of self-healing yet at a 

crisis time in their life they just

need the support system and are 

generally not ready to step into a 

Practitioner's role,until after they 

have healed.     </description>
