The Importance Of Treating Both Cause And Effect One of Takata’s guiding principles, which she emphasized repeatedly, was to treat both cause and effect. “If you treat only the affected area of the body, you may alleviate symptoms temporarily, but permanent healing will not take place unless you treat the cause”. – John Harvey Gray Takata’s training and experience had taught her that the cause of a condition is often centred, not in the affected area of the body, but elsewhere.

Create the right atmosphere Creating the right atmosphere in which to give Reiki does help to enhance the experience. Ideally, when you are giving someone else a Reiki treatment you should have a quiet, comfortable and soothing environment in a designated room or area and find somewhere you will not be disturbed.  You might want to make the experience special by having a candle burning there, and playing appropriate music to suit the mood.  Some people like to burn incense or use essential oils, but it’s probably best to make sure that your client actually likes the smell of the fra ..read more

How To Give A Reiki Treatment Reiki Protocol This is a Reiki protocol that is useful and helpful at the start; however it is best that you develop your own way and your own protocol.

What Are The Five Principles Of Reiki Healing? There are several different versions of the Reiki principles, Five Precepts or Reiki Ideals as they are also known. All of the versions are valid and none is better than any other. When you are attuned to Reiki and thus become a channel for Reiki, it does affect every thought, feeling, every choice, every action and thus every moment of our lives. When Usui originally began to formulate and then teach Reiki, he realised that what he was working with was and is more than just another healing technique. Thus, he asked his students to live by the Re ..read more

Being A Reiki Master Being a Reiki Master is of course more than just three days training. In reality, it is the work of a lifetime, rather than just the attainment of a title. The title of being a Reiki Master is more indicative of the fact that you have now made a commitment to bring Reiki into the world and that you are ready to try and integrate Reiki into more (or all) aspects of your life.  Whilst there are obvious benefits to being a Reiki person in terms of the inherent healing abilities both for yourself and others, in some ways the real challenge is how to integrate Reiki into ..read more

The Basis For All Touch Healing Techniques “The act of laying hands on the human or animal body to comfort and relieve pain is as old as instinct. When experiencing pain, the first thing most people do is to put their hands on it. When a child falls and scrapes her knee, she wants her mother to touch it (or kiss it) and make it better. A mother’s instinct when a child is feverish or ill directs her to place her hands on the baby’s forehead. Human touch conveys warmth, serenity, and healing. It also conveys caring and love. When an animal is in pain, a dog or cat’s first instinct is to lick th ..read more

His goal was to reach an enlightened state of deep, abiding, inner peace called An-Shin Ritus-mei (pronounced “on sheen dit sue may”) in which he would understand and be guided to achieve his life purpose. At midnight, on the 21st day of his retreat, “a powerful light suddenly entered his mind through the top of his head and he felt as if he had been struck by lightning; this caused him to f ..read more
