Re: How Do I make Reiki Healing Permenant?

Hi Uly,

I can share some thoughts on how
to make your reiki healing better.

All healing is self-healing. The
reiki practitioner holds the healing
vibration much as a tuner, or as
another example, if you pluck a string
on a violin, all the other strings
will begin to vibrate with it. As
a reiki practitioner, you are like
that string vibrating in a healing
vibration. Holding that intent for
the others you are helping to
facilitate brings their vibration
into a healing place.

The reiki practitioner does not do the
healing. So, if the healee has issues
which prevent them from reaching out
of their comfort zone to shift to
that healing vibration, very often,
they are unable or unwilling to
sustain it. Many are invested in the
role they are playing, or the payoff,
often sympathy they are getting. There
are many nuances and complex "bodies"
which are involved...physical, emotional,
and spiritual. To bring these into
alignment often takes a synergy and
unified effort between the healer and
the healee. Healer is a misnomer so-to-
speak since once again, I reiterate that
essentially, all healing is self-healing,
even in allopathic medicine. If the
body is willing, it will accept the
herbs or energy and use it to heal
itself.

So, what are your options as a healer??
It can be difficult to approach this
relationship with a healee and help
bring it into their awareness that they
are responsible for their own healing.
Very often people have expectations of
others. If they pay you, they really have
expectations. If they receive energy
for nothing, they also often have another
set of expectations. I always did my
own practice on donations which allowed
those who I felt I could help to decide
the value of our work together on their
own. I also interviewed potential healees
and explained my philosophy and there
were many people who expected me to
"heal" them and if we were unable to
reach an understanding, I had no problem
telling them that I was probably not
the person who could help them.

Overseas, in the big Reiki clinics, a
patient must make a thirty day commitment.
It generally takes that long to facilitate
the kind of shift it takes to nudge someone
gently or phenomenally out of their old
comfort zone. It can be very frightening
also to leave a vibration which has taken
years to become ingrained and so while your
work was effective short-term, it is best
followed by reinforcement like stroking a
piano key until a person becomes familiar
with what that healing vibration sounds
or feels like. People also have varying
reactions to reiki and some are warm and
fuzzy and some release anger and stronger
emotions, very much like a healing reaction
you might get from herbs and cleansing. If
they are strong enough to work through it,
the potential is great for healing. If they
are in fear and emotionally invested, they
will scurry back into the habits and mindset
which provided the medium for (dis)ease in
the first place.

This is not to say that there needs to
always be that level of understanding
since work with situations or animals
or children or people who are so sick
they are in and out of their body often
are unable to even discuss these aspects.
It is to say that very often it is the
healee's ego and expectations that are
limiting. I love working with animals
since there is no ego involvement and
so often they are as sponges and very
receptive.

Another aspect to be aware of, is that
some people are good at accepting their
healing and will virtually soak it up and
experience dramatic and long term healing.
Others are so resistant that it feels like
putting a child to bed kicking and screaming.
If there is a relationship and understanding
between the healer and the healee, then these
issues can often be cleared through awareness
of the process and ownership by the healee.

I used to work on a healer once who would
only come to me once every three months
for another "dose" since she really did
have a strong awareness but she was also
stubborn and her body railed and angered
during her work. So, after a treatment,
she would stomp around and self-reflect
for days all of the issues she realized
she would have to release to heal. It was
like peeling an onion and when she was
ready for the next layer, I would see her
again.

As a healer, I am effective because I am
not in any ego space and totally grok to
the understanding that I am merely holding
the note/space for the person. Also, in giving,
you receive so a good barometer of how
your own growth and process of becoming
a better healer will be reflected in how
you feel after a treatment. If you are
wiped and exhausted, you are still in your
own expectations and ego may be getting in
the way. If you feel blessed and in a mind
of gratitude for the privilege of helping
someone do their healing work, you will
feel peaceful and a lightness of being.
This takes time to develop and it was not
always easy in the beginning for me to
remain focused. If I found myself thinking
what I needed to do after the session, I
knew I was blowing it and not being the
best I could be. Still, I like the work
because ultimately, it has brought out
the best in me. It is a process and over
time you become more sensitive and very
often you will be somewhere, anywhere,
and see a situation or a person and be
able to send energy to them to use and
this is a good way to work on becoming
that "clear" channel of highest intention.

Do not be discouraged. Practice will bring
with it many rewards. Do not focus on those
who suggest or blame you for their issues
or unwillingness to let go of their sickness.
There will be many that this is the path
they choose. For those you are able to help,
be grateful for you have helped someone to
do what they could not do for themselves.
Likewise, I find it difficult to work on
myself for many of the same reasons I have
been speaking too. I react very well to
others who send energy or who lay their
hands on me. I achieve so much healing
especially when I "allow" others to help
me and release my fear of change. It helps
me align my own intent with my highest good.

I would suggest reading as much about
how others are using Reiki to facilitate
others and themselves. There is so much
info online now to help raise your own
vibration and intent. There are also
versions of the Reiki Principles online.
Find one you resonate with a print out
a copy to hang on a wall where you can
see it constantly. This also will be as
a seed/inspiration to bring you into your
own healing and clarity.

The Five Reiki Principles

BY DR.MIKAO USUI

I - Just for today, I will not be angry.

Anger at others or oneself or at the whole world, creates serious blockages in one's energy. It is the most complex inner enemy.

Reiki is an excellent tool to remove anger blockages which have accumulated in the body over years, but it cannot remove the residue of current anger which occurs daily.

Letting go of anger. brings Peace into the Mind.

II - Just for today, I will not worry.

While anger deals with past and present events, worry deals with future ones. Although worry is not always a negative phenomena, endless worries may fill one's head, and each one bores a small hole in one's body and soul. While anger requires a focused Reiki treatment to remove obstacles, worry requires the energy to be spread throughout the entire body.

Letting go of worry, brings healing into the Body.

III - Just for today, I will be grateful.

Be grateful from your heart inward. Inner intention is the important element in this principle. Simple things as thanks, forgiveness, smile, good words, gratitude can improve others life and make them happy.

Being thankful brings Joy into the Spirit.

IV - Just for today, I will do my work honestly.

Support yourself and your family respectably, without harming others. Earn a respectable living, live a life of honor.

Working Honestly brings Abundance into the Soul.

V- Just for today, I will be kind to every living thing.

Honor your parents, honor your teachers, honor your elders.

Being Kind brings Love into the Will.
