Differences between different healing systems
We are collectively and individually raising our frequency in a progressive
manner. Just as the symbols within Reiki itself are all of a different
frequency and different quality, addressing different aspects of ourselves; in
the same way all different healing systems have different frequencies and
different specialties or focus. While for example Reiki is not as powerful as
Seichim, Seichim is not as powerful as Sekhem. Thus, for example, if you are
new to healing and energy work, or if you have quite serious physical
imbalances that need healing you may be better off with Reiki first because it
is gentler and softer.
However if you have had enough of not having
fast results and not healing the aspects of yourself that you have been working
on for a long time and you feel you have become somewhat stagnant, Sekhem may
be perfect for you. For some none of this may be true and they will receive healing
for the same problems from both healing systems. So which healing modality you
chose and are attracted to is a personal preference for which a reason may not
be obvious at first but which may unfold itself as you keep moving forward on
your journey of self discovery.
It appears that staying with one healing modality no longer works for some
people and many are continually exploring new and improved ways of addressing
the manifold layers of personal issues that are continually presenting
themselves to our awareness. Also, whilst we move up the frequency scale, we
are continually increasing our awareness of ourselves and the creation and,
because of this, the aspects of us that were unconscious before, and therefore
unavailable to our understanding, are now becoming conscious. So we continually
keep increasing our knowledge and understanding.
Healing crisis and letting go
Those who are new to energy work often wonder if Reiki/Sekhem is
safe. Healing is very gentle, non-invasive and completely safe.
While there are those who claim that some healers may have bad energy etc., I
have not come across this yet and statements of this kind tend to be
projections of fear. Regardless of what a therapist is thinking or feeling, a
good and clean healing is always received.
However there is a lot of confusion about this and people often say that they
have picked up someone’s bad energy. If this happens, it indicates that you
already have that energy present in you and someone else’s negativity was
magnetically attracted and attached to you. This is not a sign of bad healing
or reason for worry, but an indication that this is what we need to heal in
ourselves. This energy that we have picked up can easily be let go of and
often falls off by itself; if it does not, then the “hook” that is in you is
too great and strong and is holding this negative energy in. You should
immediately assume full responsibility for feeling the way you feel if you want heal.
"You can not heal what you won't feel" Fritz Pearls
Refusing to feel and accept our own limitations and fear is what is creating
the pain. The less willing we are to be honest about our innermost feelings the
more we will resist the healing process through which we have to go through in
order to heal. The process is paramount to reclaiming our own energy that
is trapped in false and fearful thought forms, feelings, beliefs etc. All
healing is multifaceted and multidimensional, you are healed on several
different levels simultaneously as no part of us is separated from the whole,
and healing is therefore always holistic or moving towards achieving the
holistic state of health. The resistance to healing change is what brings on
the healing crisis that we experience after the attunements. Put simply,
healing crisis is the process during which the negativity in us is forced to
leave us and while it is on its way out, we are feeling it. When healing energy
moves in, the unbalanced negative energy has to move out, regardless of whether
we are consciously aware of this or not. This is not a reason to worry but a
cause for celebration.
From early on I decided that whenever I have healing I am only going to
receive the pure source energy and not take on the personal energy of the
healer, as we do not have to. The point is that we cannot take on any
negativity from anybody unless we want to, consciously or unconsciously, and we
need to make a conscious decision that we will only accept into ourselves what
is for our highest good or what is of the highest love and light. In this way
we refuse to be a victim of circumstances and we take our power back instead of
projecting it onto others.
"The only way out is through" Fritz Pearls
After a healing or an attunement the negative aspects of you that are
damaging may be felt as they are being released. However this can
be very confusing in the beginning, especially if you are new to healing. Fortunately
as soon as this emotional intensity passes, and it does not stay for long, your
newly found feeling of lightness and well- being allow you to look at the
situation retrospectively and understand the process you have just gone
through.
Children love healing and will normally ask for it again and again. They learn
immediately that it is very relaxing and very enjoyable. Healing is a
great way of improving and maintaining children's health and strengthening
their immune systems.
Distant Healing for Children
A good way to give healing to children is from
distance when they are asleep as they are relaxed and very receptive. The child
will decide on the higher level whether it wants to receive the healing or not.
If they do not wish to receive the healing, the energy will return to the
sender and nothing will happen. No harm can come from healing.
During the healing the children who receive it while asleep may not feel
anything but they may start sweating slightly and they may get a bit warm.
Their sleep will deepen and they will feel more refreshed in the morning. If
the healing is being sent to a child there is really no way for a parent
to say with absolute certainty whether the healing was sent or not unless the
parent is energetically sensitive and could then attune to the child or just
feel the energy in the room. Reiki can be sent to parents at the same time as
to the child. It may not be as strong as the one received by the child but it
will still be helpful, particularly if the parents are in the same room with
the child and not far away from the child’s bed.
Distant healing is ideal for newborns and very young babies and toddlers. It
eases thier frustration and discomfort and can dramatically improve their
general health.
If parents or guardians wish to have healing sent to their child, they should
contact me to discuss this first.
Teaching children how to heal
Children should always express a desire or the
willingness to be attuned and should not be attuned if they do not want to be.
Lots of children feel the goodness of healing energy and will ask for it when
they need it.
Children with autism and ADHD are often highly sensitive emotionally and need
energetic support to release the emotional and sensory overload. Their senses
are much sharper than an average person’s and perceptual stimuli are affecting
them far more than we can imagine. However even children who are merely
sensitive, without having been given a medical diagnosis, have the same
problem.
The easiest way to deal with any such issue, including ADHD, is to allow the
cleansing and rebalancing to take place on an energetic level because the issue
needs to be addressed holistically. Teaching children Reiki and Sekhem will
stimulate the natural balance and will help them learn how to manage their own
perceptions, feelings and health.
Children love healing and will normally ask for it again and again. They learn
immediately that it is very relaxing and very enjoyable. Healing is a
great way of improving and maintaining children's health and strengthening
their immune systems.
Getting pregnant and healing
Healing is safe to use before and after pregnancy as well as during all
stages of pregnancy including the labor and the birth itself. It is extremely
helpful to both the mother and the child.
In recent years it has been recognized that Reiki is very beneficial to
women and men seeking assistance with fertility issues. Many women who have
beeen experiencing difficulty in conceiving have become pregnant after Reiki
and Sekhem attunements and treatments, while others have had regular treatments
throughout their pregnancy.
As the attunements facilitate the general letting go of all sorts of physical,
emotional and mental toxins, the body tends to spring back naturally to its
vitality and strength and this enables woman to conceive. When we are stressed
out and imbalanced in some way it is harder for bodies to conceive. A certain
level of general balance is required for the body not just to conceive but also
to carry a baby to full term. Some women do not need very much rebalancing and
they can conceive after the first attunement while most may take longer.
It is not possible to predict whether someone can conceive with Reiki or
not, but the general improvement and restoration of health which is the aim of
all healing, have helped many conceive. Reiki and Sekhem are therefore very
good self-care tools which anybody trying to conceive may wihsh to
consider.
Reiki in Pregnanacy
The female body is exposed to all sorts of stresses and problems
during pregnancy. Use of Reiki/Sekhem during pregnancy can dramatically
reduce the mother’s and therefore baby’s stress levels promoting a relaxed and
peaceful state of being. It will energize the body and release tension from the
muscles easing the exhaustion, blood flow and pressure on the spine.
It can reduce nausea, improve memory, promote rejuvenating sleep,
balance emotions and hormones, reduce symptoms of inflammation, reduce
post-natal stress and maintain the healthy physiological balance. In brief it
is an amazing tool for treating the numerous discomforts that a pregnant mother
goes through, providing comfort and tranquility while balancing her moods.
The body and the psyche go through a tremendous amount of changes and
adjustments to enable a woman to carry the baby and give birth. Research in
Hartford Hospital in Hartford in Connecticut has shown that Reiki in
pregnancy reduced stress and anxiety during pregnancy by 94%, pain by 78%,
nausea and morning sickness by 80 %, and improved the quality of sleep by
86%.
Reiki and
babies
Reiki and Sekhem will not only improve the mother’s general well-being
and assist her in truly enjoying being pregnant, but will also positively
affect the child’s future health and character.
The children who have benefited from Reiki healing before their birth
are now referred to as Reiki babies. While adults are benefiting enormously
from the healing, the unborn babies’ and the newborn babies’ bodies which are
like sponges in terms of what they absorb from their environment, will benefit
even more from the healing and will have relief from many stresses that they
suffer in the womb. Because the birth is a traumatic experience for babies, the
healing energy can reduce discomfort and speed up the recovery from the birth
trauma.
Reiki babies are generally more relaxed and content.
Reiki and bonding
with children
Taking Reiki training before and during pregnancy can be immensely beneficial to
the whole family and can create a healthy and enjoyable pregnancy and calm and
joyful babies.
If the father and mother are both attuned to Reiki they can give healing to
each other and to their baby before and after the birth. This is the most
wonderful way for parents to connect and deepen that connection. Reiki can
offer a wonderful start in life for any child and particularly if the father is
giving Reiki to a pregnant mother as this will strengthen the bonding between
the father and the child.
During the healing energy transmission, the connection is made on the soul
level and the channels of better communication are being established from an
early on. Experiencing this will create a stronger sense of safety and
attachment for the child and parents and will satisfy their need for the
spiritual connection and meaning.
Re-attunements
Having refresher attunements stimulates and
reinvigorates the energy, bringing about deeper cleansing and amplified flow.
If you experience waning of energy and being stuck, a new input of the
attunement energy is certain to move it on for you. We at times come across
blocks that are deeper and larger than the ones we encountered before and this
may require reinvigoration of our efforts to help us shift this energy.
If you have been attuned to the Reiki Master level, then you can re-attune
yourself as needed.
You will
benefit from a refresher attunement if you are:
Looking to deepen your practice,
Feeling
busy,
Having
unstoppable monkey mind,
Under a lot
of stress,
Feeling
stuck in the current circumstances and need to attract
new,
Wanting
accelerated growth, faster change and enhanced flow of energy.
The importance of having refresher attunements is often overlooked and
neglected. When strong and powerful Reiki flow does not materialise
because of insufficient amount of practice, it can be strongly deepened by
having re-attunements. Having a refresher attunement is a maintenance
process of repeating ones’ vows and re-establishing the connection with the
Source. This provides a new influx of Light that flushes out the stagnant
energy.
While we do not need to have another attunement to the same level, or a
re-attunement, they are truly recommended to anyone serious about their
practice and growth. Regular practice increases one’s capacity to channel
energy and re-attunements truly accelerate it and broaden the spectrum of
energy that you can access.
If we have not practiced very much since our first attunement or if we wish to
strengthen the flow and the intensity of the Reiki that we channel. When
not much is moving around us and the energy is slowed down by various
circumstances which appear to be outside of our control, a new influx of the
energetic potentiality will shift things for us and we will naturally find
ourselves moving in direction in which we want to go. Tasks that we have been
trying to accomplish may suddenly fall into place with such an ease and without
any apparent effort on our part.
When we feel that we are not ready to move onto the next more advanced level of
Sekhem or Reiki, we can tremendously benefit from repeating the initiation that
we have already gone through thus strengthening our channel and preparing the
body to hold ever greater levels of Light. This is especially effective
if we have not practiced very much and particularly if we want to speed up the
clearing phase of the process. Occasionally when we are letting go of the very
big issues that have dominated significant portions of our life, the letting go
period can be eased by a refresher attunement.
Repeating refresher attunements lessens a dramatic effect on the body
and in particular on our emotions that a next level of attunement would have.
It is far more beneficial to have a refresher attunement first and then proceed
to the next level of the initiation. This is because there is a tendency to
rush through the levels never absorbing and integrating the energies of one
level thoroughly before proceeding onto the next.
After the attunement some people report that nothing much is happening and that
Reiki is not working for them. This is usually because they have not been practicing
enough by running energy often enough through their body to clean the channels.
Their perceptiveness or sensitivity to energy may not be so great. When the
flow starts running it may still be difficult to detect it if you are not used
to feeling and listening to your body’s internal movements.
Is lineage important?
Numerous sources place a significant importance on one's Reiki lineage and
consequently many look for the teachers that have been taught by well known and
well respected teachers. While lineage can be important and we should all
be taught by the competent and inspiring teachers, the reality is that there
are many good teachers out there and very few of them are well known.
It is
important to follow your energetic rythms and the intuitions that you are being
given when wanting to look for a teacher. One teacher may be perfect for one
person but not for the other. The greatest lessons will be taught to you by one
teacher and not by any the other. Every student that comes to a teacher
teachers that teacher some invaluable lesson. Teaching and learning is a two
way process of mutual enrichement adn exchange. The intuition is non-linear and
does not depend on the rules, howwever the sucessful teachign does depend on
passing on the original teachings and techniques.
Every teacher will over time develope their own style of teaching but the
fundamental techniques always remain the same. Passing on of the attunements
and the basic techinques in Reiki is a relatively simple process and does not
reflect the progress one has made on the spiritual path. Engaging with Reiki is
a life long journey where we are learning not just from the courses we do but
most importantly from our own practice and our comminttemetn to it. What can be
an indicator of how spiritual someone is, is thier commitement to theri own
spiritual, mental, emotional and physical health together with their love in
action within the larger community.
