Speed up with reiki
I decided to write the Reiki Principles to suit the Brighton Reiki way — in other words, make them more friendly and specific instead of a bit vague and remote. So how does this sound?:
Brighton Reiki affirmations:
Just for today, I let go of anger.
Just for today, I let go of worry.
Just for today, I give thanks for all the good things happening in my life.
Just for today, I respect myself and others in all that I do.
Just for today, I am kind to myself and others.
I’m not a great stickler for “rules” when it comes to reiki. Usui was a pioneer, a great healer and teacher who revived the ancient art of healing in Japan. He also tailored his methods for individuals. Hayashi Takaka also repackaged the healing ideals to suit the American market.I don’t believe any of this diluted or changed the essence of the healing teachings. Even calling it “Rei-Ki” is a short hand for this particular form of healing. If Takata hadn’t adapted the reiki teachings, they would never have survived and thrived in the West at all.
Hands-on healing is universal and individual at the same time. Every culture has a form of hands on healing, all very similar to rei-ki, but mixed in with the traditions of those people. So really there is no point in worrying about what is “right” or “wrong” when it comes to reiki. The essence is still the same and still works on the highest levels.
As healers, we have to remember that we are just the channel for the healing or the attunement. We are not in control of the outcome, whether it is a positive experience or if the recipient says they “feel nothing”. We have no idea what the outcome will be in future, how the healing will affect them and what changes will occur in their lives. So why get caught up in our own ego, about how “good” or “bad” we are “at healing”? People often say to me,“You DO reiki, don’t you?” Well, I don’t DO it — I teach and give reiki — but really I am just setting the scene for the universal energy to come into the space and help the person who wants to receive it.
It really is out of my control. Whether I am giving reiki to a new born baby or giving attunements to a group I have to take myself out of the equation. I am the facilitator and just helping the person receive the healing they have already committed to receiving when they made the appointment.
People who receive reiki healing or attunements don’t need convincing. They experience for themselves the wonderful enhancements that occur, when they allow the reiki into their lives. The world is moving at such an accelerated pace that reiki can only help speed up your life to match.
