Reiki Attunement


Reiki Attunement

At birth you already had negativities and blockages within your energy channels and chakras because you were not pure. As you grow older, you accumulate more negativities and blockages as a result of the negative emotions you created and which were not cleansed. In Reiki, you will receive something called attunement, a process in which the Reiki master helps you to cleanse and open:

Reiki is easy to learn. Reiki is not learned in the normal sense. It is awakened within you through a Process of Attunement or Initiation. The central focus of each Level or Degree - involves a special energetic transfer technique whereby the Reiki Teacher (Master) essentially ‘re-patterns’ the student’s etheric field and subtle energy centers.

It does not require any conditions to be fulfilled so that a student may learn Reiki, just a sincere desire to help themselves and others by using Reiki. Belief in a religious system is not required to learn Reiki. It helps to be an active participant in the learning process. Reiki is passed on to a student when a Reiki Master transmits energy to the student through a series of attunements, also known as initiations.


An attunement is the process by which the Reiki Master passes on to the student the ability to channel Reiki energy or Universal energy. During this process your aura is cleared of any blocks so that the healing energies may flow through you. A change in the energy field around you (aura) occurs that opens, clears and connects you to the ability to use the Universal Energy. An attunement is permanent, it does not wear off and you can never lose it. After the attunement, whether you use the energy or not, you can channel Reiki Energy all your life.


Attunements allow people to open to use energies much faster than is possible without them. Attunements are not exclusive to Reiki, they are used in many other energy work systems. Your hands are healing hands after the attunement, use them gently with love and wisdom to heal yourself and the world.


There are many different methods for passing on attunements. This is natural because one can never teach exactly as one has been taught. There is no right or wrong method of initiation. Reiki is the same whichever way it is passed on, only the process is different. Each Master/Teacher of Reiki acts as a tool of the Divine and is respected as such.



  • Your crown chakra, the entry gate for the universal energy
  • Your palm chakras, the exit gates for the energy that allow you to channel energy to yourself or to others.
  • The whole sushumna so that the universe energy can flow throughout your whole body and all of your important internal organs.
  • All of the chakra knots along your sushumna enabling the energy to flow freely along your sushumna and into your chakras for cleansing.
  • Your heart chakra so that you will be connected more to your heart as the heart is the key to receive divine blessing. This allows you to channel the energy only by intention.
  • The energy channel between your sushumna and your palms so that the energy can flow out properly.
  • The connection to the earth energy so that you stay grounded while advancing spiritually.

    Reiki OM-Shakti


    Reiki OM-Shakti

    Reiki OM-SHAKTI is not about how to become a healer. On the contrary, in Reiki OM-SHAKTI you learn and realize that the best healer is always the Divine Source. In Reiki OM-SHAKTI you learn that the blessing of the Divine Source is the mightiest power. If you can just let this blessing work on you and through you, you will gain unlimited benefits. By having this understanding in energy channeling, you will then be able to let the blessing of the Divine Source help you in everything you need, not only in your daily life but also for your spiritual growth. In Reiki OM-SHAKTI, you will not simply hear or read about this, but as you work with your heart, you will have a chance to allow Divine Source to work through you. The heart is the only part of you that can really be connected to the Divine Source, receive the blessing of Divine Source and let the blessing of Divine Source work on you.

    So, although Reiki OM-SHAKTI is an energy channeling technique, the essence of Reiki OM-SHAKTI is not energy channeling. Reiki OM-SHAKTI is about:
    • Understanding more of the blessing of the Divine Source
    • Understanding more about your heart, as the heart is the key to your connection to the Divine Source
    • Being connected to your heart and being in your heart to be able to be connected to the Divine Source and to feel peace, calmness, joy and happiness in your daily life as heart is the key to attain this
    • Connected to your True Self in preparation for the real spiritual journey, as the real spiritual journey is about your True Self getting closer to the Divine Source (Source of the True Self)
    By practicing Reiki OM-SHAKTI not only can you expect to be healthier, able to channel energy to heal yourself and others, to have more peace,calmness, happiness and joy in your daily life, but also to progress spiritually by the way of the heart. First, you can be connected better to your heart. Then, you will be able to be within your heart in your daily life and achieve real understanding from the heart about the Divine Source and the blessing of the Divine Source. This enables you to receive the blessing of the Divine Source as the mightiest power to help you to progress unlimited.


     

                                            Before Attunement              After Attunement


    In the two Kirlian photos above of a person's fingertips before and after the attunement, you can clearly see the differences. The energy around the person who has received the first degree attunement becomes thicker and improves in quality (brighter). Thus, not only will the practitioner be energetic by having more vital energy, but will also tend to be healthier as the protective layer is much thicker and stronger.


    If you consider yourself to be someone who:
    • Wants to be healthier.
    • Wants to have more peace, calmness, happiness and joy in your daily life.
    • Wants to be able to channel energy to heal yourself and/or others.
    • Wants to be closer to the Divine Source by connecting your heart.
    • Wants to progress spiritually.

    You can gain many benefits from Reiki OM-SHAKTI.
    Reiki OM-SHAKTI consists of Japanese and Tibetan words. You already know that Reiki consists of two Japanese words that mean vital energy from the universe. OM-SHAKTI is a Tibetan word which means inner fire and refers to the Kundalini. If you have read some advanced yoga books, then you have certainly read about Kundalini. Kundalini is a natural power within every human that normally lies dormant. You need this special energy to advance spiritually and attain higher achievements in your spiritual development (Please read the Kundalini section for more information about Kundalini). So, Reiki OM-SHAKTI actually deals with both Reiki (universal energy) and OM-SHAKTI (Kundalini energy), giving you as a practitioner the chance to grow very rapidly with the synergy of these two powerful energies.



    An important step for spiritual growth is cleansing. If you are only using the universal energy for cleansing, the energy will cleanse from the top down as divine energy starts flowing into your body from the crown chakra. However, as you still have blockages, there will be less and less universal energy that can reach the lower part of your body. It will take years before the universal energy can do a complete cleansing on the lowest chakra, the base chakra. On the other hand, if you are only relying on the Kundalini energy, as the center of the Kundalini energy is your perineum, located between your rectum and your sexual organ at the level of your lowest major chakra, the cleansing will occur from the bottom up. And similar to what happens in the cleansing with universal energy, it will take many years before the Kundalini energy can do a complete cleansing on the crown chakra. However, working with Reiki OM-SHAKTI, these two very powerful energies will work in synergy giving you the simultaneous and thorough cleansing and all of your main chakras. Thus, you can get all of your main chakras cleansed in a very short time compared to using only universal energy or Kundalini energy.


    The attunement of Reiki OM-SHAKTI is also very special as it connects you to Divine energy, the earth core, and your heart. The attunement also opens your heart chakra, the knots of all of your chakras on your sushumna, and your whole sushumna from the crown chakra all the way to your base chakra. Your energy channel and your palm chakras are also opened to enable you to channel energy.

    What is Reiki?



    What is Reiki?

    “Every existence has healing power. Plants, trees, animals, fish and insects, but especially a human as the lord of creation has remarkable power”... Usui sensei.

    Reiki means “universal life force energy”. It is a Japanese word pronounced “ray-key”. Reiki means universal (rei) – life force energy (ki). The Reiki System is an ancient system of energy healing, simple and powerful. Reiki has elements based on Asian health and spiritual practices. The peoples of the eastern part of the world are more familiar with energy work for health benefits and to attain higher levels of spirituality. This life force energy is known by many names – prana, mana, chi, ki, cosmic pulse, etc.
    Rather than acting solely on a physical level, Reiki is holistic in its effect - eliciting a healing response on the entire spectrum of ones being - physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. Anyone can learn to use the Reiki Healing System, it needs no qualifications for eligibility, only the will to learn.
    The levels of our being are the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. Life force flows within the physical and nourishes the organs and cells of the body. When this life force is disrupted, it causes the functions in one or more organs to lessen drastically thereby preventing them from functioning at their optimum levels. This life force is affected by thoughts and emotions. It becomes disrupted when we accept negative thoughts and emotions about ourselves. These negative thoughts and emotions cause a disruption in the flow of life force. And when the body, mind and soul become imbalanced, illness happens.
    Imbalances can be caused from many situations occurring in our lives, such as emotional trauma, lack of nutrition, high stress lifestyle, negative thoughts like fear, worry, anger, doubt, anxiety, suppressed emotions, lack of love for yourself or others.
    If we are to be truly well, our entire being has to be in harmony and balance. Without the intention to be well and the will to do something about it we cannot become well. Reiki empowers us to become whole in all ways. When you have Reiki, you are never again helpless. You become responsible for yourself and your life. Reiki empowers you to take charge of your life, health and complete well-being.

    Treatments can help to heal every kind of physical problem such as sports injuries, back problems and serious illness or disease. Reiki can also be used to heal stress, aid weight loss or gain,depression, PMS and all forms of emotional distress. Reiki treatments can help you cope during times of upheaval and change. Reiki is simple enough to use as a way to revitalize yourself and boost your energy levels, or to improve your health and well-being.

    Reiki complements other forms of treatment such as allopathy and alternative medicine. It can be used while you are on medication with medicines such as Allopathy, Ayurveda, Homeopathy, etc. Reiki treatments complement any other kind of treatment or therapy, in both people and animals. Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive hands-on form of healing which can never harm and always benefits those who receive it. Treatments generally last around an hour.
    Reiki is not something magical. The basic principle on how Reiki energy heals is very similar to how healing works in acupuncture. We know that every living being has energy within and around the body to be alive. This energy is called Chi (vital energy) and it is vital for the physical body to exist. The physical body usually has problems because the energy does not flow properly. By stimulating the energy to flow properly as it is supposed to, the natural ability of the body to heal itself will be able to function again, and the physical body will recover. Reiki healing is able not only to stimulate the energy to flow properly but also to cleanse the energy within and around the body to speed up the healing process. In the Kirlian photos(*) below, you can see the energy around the fingertip of a patient before and after Reiki healing.
                   Before healing
    The bright outer layer which normally acts as a protective layer (aura) is gone fading and has a lot of negativity
             After healing
             The energy is cleaner and the aura
              is intact again
    (*) Kirlian photos are not simulation photos. The Kirlian camera has been used as radiology equipment.
    Reiki is not based on any religion. Belief in a spiritual or religious system is not required for the effective practice of Reiki. It is universal energy that anyone can learn to channel to heal themselves or others.
    I live in Mumbai, India. I conduct in-person Reiki Training and Healing and also do Distance Attunements and Healing. I teach Reiki I, II, III, Master Level IV and  Usui Grand Master Reiki Levels V and VI. I do Intuitive Readings, Chakra Clearing and Balancing, Dowsing, Energy Clearing of homes, work-places. I am a Clairvoyant and offer Spiritual Guidance.
    " It is not associated with any visible material being.", Takata sensei, "It's an unseen spiritual power that radiates vibration and lifts one into harmony. This power is incomprehensible to man, yet every single living being is receiving its blessings..."

    BASIC TECHNIQUE FOR OPENING CHAKRAS


    BASIC TECHNIQUE FOR OPENING CHAKRAS

    There are many, many ways to meditate. Most schools of meditation and self-healing suggest that in order to gain the most benefits from these self-improvement techniques is to work with the body's chakras.

    What is a chakra? A chakra is an energy point or energy center (called a vortex). Each vortex regulates certain portions of the body. When these vortexes are out of sync the body reflects this by becoming ill or decayed.

    The method of meditation I find works best for myself and for the people. You can take this method and adapt it to your own needs and special requirements, but I find it to be the easiest and least complex.

    Each chakra is "seen" to be represented by a different color. I will also include the color of each.

    First let us go over the 7 chakras:

    Crown of the head - white

    Forehead-third eye - purple

    Throat - azure or sky blue

    Heart - either green or pink

    Navel - yellow, like warm sunshine

    Below navel, between navel and groin - orange

    Groin area - crimson red

    Extremeties (hands and feet) - white

    Opening and working with chakras takes a bit of practice. But is is worth the effort. Believe me on this! When you are ready to open the chakras, select a location where you can either sit or lie down comfortably and where you will not be interrupted for at least an hour. Wear comfortable clothing - not pajamas! (You'll fool your body into thinking you're going to sleep!) 


    Begin by breathing regularly and evenly. Take several deep breaths. Begin by relaxing your toes, your ankles, your legs. Relax your hips, your shoulders, your neck. Relax your arms and your hands. This is the time that your body will start the twinge-tingle dance (as I call it) It'll twinge and tingle and itch. Try to ignore this. This is just your body's way of telling you it's not used to relaxing. Soon enough it will become accustomed to it.

    Now is the time that you will use your visualization skills. Imagine that your are a fountain of light or a waterfall. See how the water or the light starts at the top of your head and covers your chest and eventually covers your whole body. See how you become a living ball of light. This should be the first and only exercise you attempt. Do not be disappointed if this image does not come immediately. Ideally you should practice this for about one week.

    Once you have pretty much gotten the waterfall effect down, you are ready for the next step.

    Perform your relaxation technique. This time you will follow up the fountain/waterfall exercise by opening up your chakras.

    Begin at the top/crown of your head. See a white light that emanates from this area. Spin downward and toward your forehead, where your third eye is. See it's purple light rotate and bloom much like a flower. Continue downward to the throat chakra, where a beautiful azure blue blooms and spins. Go now to your heart chakra. Here you may see either a green light or a warm pink ball. Either way, see how it glows and spins. You should notice how all the colors are now merging, almost into a rainbow effect. Move down to your navel, where a bright yellow glow will spin and join the other colors. Below the navel, above the groin, find your next chakra, a warm orange. It spins and blooms. Finally the last chakra, at the groin area, a deep crimson red. See it glow, spin and join the other colors. Your fingers and toes will glow a white light. They too will join the rainbow effect.

    When you are finished and are ready to close your chakras, imagine a large zipper the length of your body. You must close the zipper in order to close the chakras. Never leave the chakras open. Take several deep breaths and open your eyes.

    Check how you feel. Do you feel energized or tired? Did you have problems visualizing the colors and the fountain of light? If you did, not to worry. You might need a little more practice. However, if you consistently fail in visualizing or are falling asleep during the meditation, check for possible causes. Are you meditating when you are very tired? Is the lighting too harsh? (use soft lighting, candlelight is excellent) Use soft music, classics or "new age" like Enya or Enigma. Are you being interrupted? Is there a lot of noise out on the street? If your problem is visualizing, don't despair. Every person who learned meditation experienced this. Practice.

    Once you have mastered this technique, you will find it is an excellent technique that can be combined with magickal workings.

    I'd like to share a personal tidbit, which I have used for years and tell everybody I know:

    If you are ill, head cold, chest cold, sore throat, fever, tooth ache, etc, open the affected chakra. (if you are suffering from a head cold, open that chakra) Imagine a black ball floating upward from your feet to the "sick" area. Let the black ball sit over the affected chakra while it draws out the illness. You will see that the color of the chakra may be off or even spotted with black dots. This black ball will serve as a vaccumm or sweeper to eliminate these spots. You can see as the ball works the color of the chrakra begins returning to normal. Try it!

    Self Healing


    Self Healing


    No doctor, no drug, no object has ever truly healed anyone. They can only assist if they act in harmony with the Laws of Nature.


    Our mind body system is designed to HEAL ITSELF. All we need to do is to REMOVE OBSTACLES from the body and from the mind. This can be accomplished with or without the help of others.

    If you cut your finger with a sharp object, the wound HEALS ITSELF and if the damage is not extensive, the repair job is SO perfect, that after a few weeks you cannot even remember which finger was hurt. Even the fingerprints are reconstructed.


    Of course self-healing is not limited to scratches and bruises. Exactly the same self-healing processes occur ALL THE TIME in ALL POSSIBLE organs of the body.


    Even if we abuse our body, it tries to heal itself, unless the damage is extensive and we continue doing mistakes for years. Severe illnesses are largely result of our complete ignorance on both: the physical level (diet, poisoning, lifestyle) as well as on the mental level (bad mental hygiene and discipline, wrong understanding of purpose of life). Pain and suffering are just signals to our conscious mind that we have to CHANGE our ways. When we do, in the right direction, we "miraculously" recover. When we follow the flock, and resist Nature, we suffer. This is the law of Nature.


    The mind-body system has almost unlimited self repair capabilities, but most of people deny themselves any access to them.


    The biggest mistake you can make is to ACCEPT someone's "advice" that your condition is incurable. If you accept such an advice, your fear effectively SABOTAGES the self-healing process, which is under complete control of your consciousness on all levels, including the subconscious functioning of your body and mind. Fear blocks any logic, dramatically reducing your own self healing ability.


    There is nothing the Universe to be afraid of, except our own ignorance and its consequences. Unfortunately most people doubt everyone and everything, except their own ignorance.

    How to See Auras?


    How to See Auras?

    Before we get into teaching you how to see auras, let's start by getting a good working definition of what an aura actually is.

    The definition of auras varies depending on who you ask. Some believe the aura does not exist, while others believe auras are almost a window into a person’s soul or heart. Many might say that unless you know how to see auras, it really does not matter what other people think they look like, but that is not 100% true, because many people that cannot physically see auras with their eyes, can feel the colours within an aura as it touches their body.

    So if you are have problems learning to see auras, trying learning how to feel colours instead.

    From the American Heritage Dictionary:
    A distinctive but intangible quality that seems to surround a person or thing; atmosphere

    From the Free Dictionary:
    In parapsychology, an emanation surrounding the human body, particularly the head. The aura is said to be visible to clairvoyants and other similarly psychic individuals. It is believed to be the prototype of the halo.

    The aura has been described as a misty light, shot with colours that change according to mood and circumstances. The term is more often used figuratively.

    But those are just definitions. What are we actually seeing when we see an aura? Most agree there are at least two distinct parts to an aura. Both are emanations of the electronic energy our body runs off of, but part of it is from the electricity used by our bodies, and the other part is from the electricity used by our brains.

    The body part of the auras electronic field is what allows those sensitive to the energies to be able know where illness or injury resides in the body while the brain portion is what allows those sensitive to the energies to know our emotions, creativity, intentions, etc., etc.

    What does an aura look like?

    An aura is an emanation of energy and is usually seen as a "glow" of energy extending out from the body. The intensity can vary from barely visible to brightly coloured and can extend outward from the body anywhere from a couple of inches up to a foot or more. This however is just the visible part. Many believe that our auras allow us to stay connected to all the other energies around us and that various psychic signals are picked up via the aura and sent to the brain to be processed as the sights and sounds we psychically receive.

    An aura can range from almost pure white to virtually any colour you can imagine. Sometimes an aura will be a solid colour, but more often than not, there are spots, swirls, or slashes of other colours within the main colour of the aura.

    The main concentration of colour tends to be around the head and shoulders and often this is the first place a beginner is able to see an aura. However, the entire body is surrounded by an aura and with time you can learn to see all of it.

    Why so much Variations in Auras?

    Remember what I said about auras being an emanation of energy? Different people have different energy levels so of course there would be variations in the size of their auras, but it goes beyond just a person’s normal energy level. Sickness can change a person’s energy level and aura. Being excited can make a change. Almost any emotion can change the strength and/or colour of an aura.

    Some people believe that when we have advanced far enough in our evolution, we will be able to know and understand the mood someone is in and whether or not a person is lying, just by looking at their aura. On the surface, that sounds like a wonderful thing, but is it really? Do you truly want everyone to know every time you tell a little white lie? But that is another story for another time.

    To Look or Not to Look

    Without going into a lot of detail on how the eye works, an over simplistic description follows.

    When we look at an object, we use a specific portion of the retina. Over time that main portion of the retina becomes damaged from all the various sources of light that we look at on a regular basis. This is why younger people tend to more easily see auras than older persons, because their retinas are not as damaged.

    Plus, in time our eyes become trained to see in specific ways. We expect to see all the normal everyday things we see on a regular basis and our vision is not adjusted to see anything else. Again, as we get older, this becomes more set making it harder to learn, but not impossible.

    For those reasons, in most people it is best to use your Peripheral vision to look at an object to see it's aura. But notice I said for "most" people, it is best for some, not all. Like everything else in life, everyone is different, so only you can determine if it is better to use your normal vision or your peripheral vision.

    I suggest you try it according to the following instructions. If after several tries, you have not learned how to see auras, try adjusting where in your frame of vision the object is at.

    Most people can see anything that is within the field of vision that is roughly between point a and point b in the picture below. Some people can see a little beyond those two points and others cannot see that far, but unless a person suffers with some sort of eye problems, this is a reasonable estimate.

     

    When we look at something with our normal vision, we usually move our heads so the object we are looking at is directly between our eyes, in the center of our field of vision because this is where we have the best view of the object.

    The part of our vision starting directly to the left or right of center, and moving all the way to the furthers point at a or b is called the peripheral vision and for most people the further away from absolute center we go, the worse our vision becomes.

    But saying the worse our vision becomes is not a completely true statement. It is true when we are speaking of looking at solid objects in our normal world. But an aura is not a solid object, it is a collection of energy and we humans cannot see energy with our normal way of looking.

    Yet our bodies are designed to be able to see this energy. To do so requires you to look at a person or object, not with the main part of your vision (see c in the photo) but with our peripheral vision.

    To do this, put the object in the c position in front of you, looking straight at it. Then keep your eyes looking straight out from your head and turn your head slightly to one side till the object is in one of the many d positions.


    Anywhere between (a and c) and (c and b) is a d position. There are an unlimited number of d positions. Keep your eyes focused straight out in front of you. You will still be able to see the object in your peripheral vision and it is within these positions you will begin to learn how to see auras.

    Try not to start and do not allow your vision to look directly at the object or person. Relax your eyes and if need be, allow them to unfocused. Soon you will start to see movement or colour around the object/person. Just keep your eyes relaxed and prevent your vision from focusing on the object/person and when you find the right combination of all of the above, you will see an aura.


    Tips on how to see auras

    When you are just beginning to learn how to see auras, it is best to try with a person simply because their auric field tends to be stronger than an object. It is also best to have the person stand in front of a solid white wall if possible. This helps make the auric field show up easier than if it was showing over a coloured background.

    That is it for this lesson on how to see auras. I hope you have enjoyed the lesson and remember to practice often because practice makes perfect.

    Grounding and Centering Meditation


    Grounding and Centering Meditation


    This is a quick grounding meditation. You should practice this to balance your energy, release anxiety, or any time you feel like screaming.

    Sit peacefully and relax. Let the ground or chair support you. Let your muscles go. You don't have to exert any effort to sit there. Take in an easy, deep breath...and let it out your mouth, parting your lips slightly as you exhale. 

    Let your arms feel heavy, pulling down your shoulders. Breathe... Let that heavy feeling flow down your torso and legs, so you feel heavy and relaxed all the way down to your feet on the ground.

    Now picture and feel roots growing from your feet down into the ground. Just like a tree's roots...going down into the layers of cool dirt...growing around rocks...traveling further and further down into the earth. Let the roots grow as deeply as you wish.

    Now feel the healing, rhythmic energy of the earth itself flowing up through your roots...slowly traveling up...through your roots, up to your feet and quickly filling your entire body. Feel this positive, grounded, earth energy throughout your being. Take in a deep, cleansing breath... and release.

    When you are ready, open your eyes and know that this grounded energy will remain with you throughout your day.

    Enjoy!!!
