You Are Reiki
I’m currently attending a course with Author, Frans Stiene and it’s serving as a profound reminder that Reiki isn’t something we do, it’s what we all are, without exception.
I teach my students that the word ‘Reiki’ isn’t simply the name of a Japanese energy therapy, it’s part of the Japanese language and means ‘Universal Light’ or ‘Universal Energy’. So no one created this. Mikao Usui gifted us with a method to direct this flow of energy for healing and for this, I am truly grateful because it changed my life, but it’s important to understand that Reiki energy is in everything that exists in this world.
Every part of us is this Reiki light - it’s who we are. The challenges we’ve faced, the labels we’ve adopted and our negative thinking, can often hide the Universal flame burning within us, leading many of us to seek this light externally. We look outwards to find solutions to our problems or we comfortably rest in the blaming of others for our negative experiences.
As a healing modality, Reiki invites us to embark on a journey back to ourselves. To help us do this, we’re encouraged to include several daily practices:
Recite the Reiki principles
Meditation
Hara Breathing
Act with kindness to self and others
Give Reiki to ourselves
These daily practices will fuel our own fire, brighten our light and remind us that we are not separate from the Universe or anything contained within it. Everything is energetically entangled, so in any moment, we can choose to feel our internal power more intensely and be that Universal light.
Through our intentional practices, this beautiful, God energy, begins to expand within us. Our reiki light is naturally healing; it naturally regulates anger, dissipates worry and wards off illnesses. How? Anything vibrating at a frequency that is lower than divine light, cannot remain in its lower form of energy. It has to transcend or move away.
When we remember who we are, we step into flow. Rather than having to control or struggle against life’s perceived torrents, we can be gently carried along the stream of life as it enhances our health and happiness.
With love and light
