Usui/Tibetan Reiki
After
being initiated you will have a direct connection with the source of
Reiki, which can now flow at will. This does not takeaway our personal
responsibility for our own healing and the healing of our planet. Even
after having been attuned we always have a choice of whether we want to
run healing energy or not, and this choice is made in the present moment
as that is where your power to conduct yourself in the world is.
You will still need to practise it, i.e., give healing to yourself, and
to others in order to achieve the best results. However if you decide
never to use Reiki again, that is OK. You will always benefit from the
healing and an attunement even if you do not wish to take it further.
When
you are attuned you start experiencing the new levels of being grounded
and centered. This increases over time and depends on your commitment
and the quality of your practice.
Reiki
is taught at three levels and each level is taught separately. For each
level a detailed manual is given that will provide guidance through
self study. Levels I and II may be taught together if a person has had
substantial experience in some other form of spiritual and energy
practices or if the Level I and/or Levels I and II have already been
taken in a different healing system, i.e., Seichim, other types of
Reiki, Sekhem etc. It is best not to miss an attunement as the benefits
from it are priceless.
After
the first attunement you will start the process of integrating new
healing frequency into your body and, with some commitment and practice,
you will eventually reach a point where you feel much clearer and
better, and often, people feel ready for the next level initiation.
Some
individuals are ready soon after the first attunement and some take
longer. How long this takes will depend on the previous work that you
have done on yourself and your ongoing commitment to your path. What is
important is to take your time and listen to your inner guidance. When
you have integrated the new energy frequency you will feel ready for the
next higher and more deepening level.
It
is best to wait one month for the cleansing and the healing crisis to
pass, as you will become energetically clearer than ever before. This
new level of being clear and cleaner energetically will be a solid
foundation for the next deeper level of healing. The excitement and the
feeling that you cannot wait to be attuned to the next level is your
expectant reaction to your future state of being after the initiation.
This is a clear sign that you are ready for a next level of initiation.
It is always best to wait for a strong intuitive certainty. You will
naturally recognize, even if it is not entirely explainable with your
logical mind, that you have just gone through an amazing process that
will eventually lead you to where you have always wanted to go – back
Home to your Divine Self. The daily journey becomes an exhilarating
reward in itself.
With
Reiki being practised publicly since about 1922 we are now beginning to
accept that the ability to channel healing energy seems to be a natural
human function. Everybody is able to tap into the universal source of
healing energy and well being and channel the healing energy for
themselves and for others.
Once the flow is established
through an attunement, you can immediately start giving energy to
yourself and others. Therefore channeling the energy is normal and
natural and not special and exceptional. It can be done throughout the
day without suffering any exhaustion and depletion. In fact with Reiki,
when you give energy you also receive it as it flows through you. You do
not become depleted or tired, but energized, invigorated and calm.
