Recently, spiritual practices aimed at self-knowledge, self-improvement and even healing yourself and your loved ones are gaining more and more popularity. We will consider one of the most popular traditions today.
Life Energy
Reiki is a kind of work with energy by attracting it from the depths of the Universe. This tradition, which came to us from Japan and is firmly rooted in our country due to its effectiveness. People interacting with Reiki not only get to know themselves and the world better, they learn to see and feel much more than others. And the ability to heal with hands, which, in fact, is the main purpose of Reiki, allows you to achieve amazing results in case of injuries or illnesses of the practitioner himself or his relatives. Is it possible to learn Reiki on your own?
Seminars or homeschooling?
In almost every major city you can find seminars that teach interaction with Reiki. 1 stage of initiation and training (payment requirements usually do not differ from each other in cities and countries)is to open the channel through which the student will receive Reiki energy.
Training allows you to learn basic skills - fill yourself with Reiki energy, heal yourself and other people, as well as animals with the help of your palms. At the same time, the master tells the history of Reiki, the basic principles of work, conducts initiation and teaches how to meditate correctly. The first step costs $150 on average. The training lasts for several days. For many people, the first stage is usually sufficient for self-practice. Masters claim that their students have enough basic knowledge, which they can then use to independently increase their knowledge and capabilities.
Is it possible to learn Reiki on your own at home? It is real, but it requires a great desire to learn and practice Reiki. Some sites also offer paid tutorial videos to help you navigate the flow of information.
Studying reiki at home has some benefits, but energy work always carries some risk unless accompanied by guidance from an experienced reiki master. Therefore, carefully study everything you need to know about Reiki before you start practicing.
Alas, you will not be able to fully master the art of working with Reiki, because initiation is impossible when learning Reiki on your own.
The term "reiki"
To better understand this tradition, consider the meaning of the word "reiki". It is interpreted in different ways, as it has several meanings. First of all, thisthe designation of life energy "rei" and "ki". Also, the term is applicable to the naming of universal energy and God and the process of restoring he alth with the help of hands.
Working with Reiki allows you to set up the body to accept the energy of the most subtle plan. This is the unity of the soul and body, allowing you to know your own "I".
Does Reiki help with serious illnesses?
Chinese experts have long argued that all our diseases arise due to a violation of the flow of vital energy. The practice of this tradition will allow you to fill the body with energy, learn how to manage it. Many people do heal their illnesses with Reiki, but for this you need to find the root of the problem yourself.
Where to start?
Are you determined to practice Reiki? How to start learning on your own in this case, while you do not know? Start with awareness. Look inside yourself, understand what ingrained problems are haunting you and why. Analyze your life and your actions, this will help you find the origins of many of your own problems. Want to change yourself and your life.
Read the necessary literature. Knowledgeable people advise several authors:
- Diana Stein. Among her books are "Practical Guide …", several cycles of "Basics of Reiki".
- Liya Sokolova.
- W alter Lubeck "The Spirit of Reiki". The book is based on the writings of famous Reiki masters.
- Liza Kashlinskaya.
The books by these authors will help you better understand the Reiki system.
Energy Cleansing
In addition, you need tofeel your own energy. Go deep into yourself, listen to yourself. But before that, it is recommended to clean your own biofield with the help of the so-called energy shower. The soul consists in cleansing the subtle bodies with the fire of a candle. The thing is that our chakras are clogged with clots of negative energy that prevent them from functioning normally. To fully tune in to the reiki, clear your biofield of these clots. You can do an energy shower every day - after a busy day and communication with unpleasant people. Cleansing will allow you to remove negative programs and improve your own well-being.
Don't forget to do Reiki meditations.
Reiki Meditation
Meditation is one of the most successful methods of knowing your own "I", finding harmony between you and the outside world. Before you start working with reiki, you need to feel them. Invoke the Reiki energy sincerely and with feeling. During meditation, the back should be straight, hands folded in a prayer gesture, and feet tightly connected. This will allow you to close your own energy. It's best to lean your back against a wall or a chair to keep your spine upright but still relaxed. Feel the energy flowing through your body, warm, bright, filled with gratitude and joy.
Meditative technique
Next - a few recommendations from Reiki masters. Homeschooling is primarily about meditation.
- Meditate in the same place inthe same time. Do this daily.
- Start with three minutes of meditation, gradually increasing to half an hour.
- Keep a diary to record your own emotions and feelings during each meditation.
During meditation, nothing should interfere with you. Relax, take a deep breath and plunge into a blissful state of inactivity - the cosmos will show you everything you need to know. In the meantime, don't forget to be grateful. Sincerely thank your spiritual teachers, higher beings who will come to your call. Remember that when you send gratitude to the Universe, you receive much more in return in your sincerity than you give.
Reiki meditation can help you deal with difficult issues in life. During meditation, ask your higher self a question that interests you by invoking reiki. The answer to the question may not come immediately. Such responses come in many ways - in the form of pictures during meditation, some of which will have to be deciphered, or a sudden understanding of what to do.
And of course, don't forget the principles of this tradition as you study.
Principles
Continue learning Reiki. The Reiki Principles are five rules, or rather instructions, that have been translated from Japanese and have several interpretations. You can choose the ones that are closest to you. It is extremely important to repeat these rules just before the session. You don't even have to say them out loud, the main thing is to feel every word, let it through you.
- Don't be angry today.
- Don't worry today.
- Be grateful today.
- Work on yourself today.
- Be kind today.
Try to follow these principles constantly, and you will see how much easier and brighter your soul has become. After all, before you can heal others, you need to heal yourself. Very soon you will not even need to make an effort to follow these instructions - Reiki will open you to harmony and calmness that do not allow unpleasant emotions.
Reiki techniques and exercises
And now the most important thing! Exercises that will allow you to call and feel the energy flowing in your body. To do this, you will need exercises for awareness of the first level of Reiki.
Reiki Awareness
We'll look at a few exercises below, but before that, consider a few rules.
- Exercise is best done in the morning, immediately after waking up when the brain is in an altered state, and before going to bed.
- Exercise on an empty stomach.
- The duration of the exercises reaches half an hour, because in this case it all depends on when exactly you achieve the desired result. Which one exactly? You will definitely feel it.
- Preferably weak, dim lighting and the absence of any extraneous noise. Your thoughts should float freely and easily, so you should not be distracted by external factors.
- Don't let your thoughts get in the way. If they "floated" in a different direction, start everythingfirst.
- Do each exercise for about half an hour.
Exercise 1. It is basic in any meditative practice. It is also important when learning Reiki on your own. So, sit comfortably in a chair and call: "Reiki!". Take a deep breath in with the thought “I am breathing in reiki” and then exhale with the thought “I am breathing out reiki”. At the same time, do not pause between inhalation and exhalation, each of which should be accompanied by the corresponding words. Mentally, you can draw out words. The main thing is not to watch your breathing, keep it involuntary and free. When the thought forms disappear by themselves, leaving a feeling of how the energy is distributed throughout the body, the result is achieved. The duration of the exercise is about 20 minutes.
Exercise 2. The next exercise is done in a horizontal position. You need to enter the relaxed state achieved in the first exercise and gradually relax each part of the body. Better to start on the right side. For example, first relax your right toes, then switch to your left. Move on to hands. Gradually rise to the head. Release tension from the neck, chest, back, pelvic area, mentally relax the heart, brain, nerves and tendons. When you feel warmth and heaviness in that part of the body to which your attention is directed, the result is achieved. To achieve a sustainable result, it is better to practice the exercise for at least two weeks.
For the subsequent practice, which allows you to develop your Reiki abilities, you will need to work with a master. A full-fledged Reiki training on your own is impossible without the help of a specialist. There are other exercises aimed at working with the energy inside your own body. Check out the provided descriptions of breathing and relaxation exercises by choosing the option you like.
What is Reiki Initiation?
What is the difference between training and initiation? Reiki initiation must be done with a master. Attunement consists in opening the channel, that is, initiation into Reiki. Remember that the choice of a master in this case is an extremely responsible matter, since a person with impure thoughts is able to “attach” an energy entity to your channel, which will feed on your energy. The scheme for conducting Reiki initiation varies from master to master, so there is no specific technique.
Initiation is about synchronizing the brainwaves of the master with the student. That is, you are given a certain program that allows you to interact with the energy of the Universe. Attunement allows you to increase the energy reserve, as well as enhance intuition and give other psychic abilities.
Conclusion
Is it really possible to learn Reiki on your own? You can learn basic skills, but you won't be able to reach a high level. However, if you have the potential, homeschooling may well be enough to achieve the result you need.
