THE HEART OF REIKI
The Reiki Principles - The Secret Method of Inviting Blessings:
The spiritual Medicine of Many Illnesses.
For today only anger not, worry not.
Be Grateful and humble
Do your work with appreciation.
Be kind to all.
In the morning and at night,
with hands held in prayer,
Think this in your mind,
chant this with your mouth,
The Usui Reiki Method
to change your mind and body for the better
~ Mikao Usui
The Reiki Principles are the heart of Reiki. The only real mastery, is self mastery. Usui taught that dedication to the principles and living them are essential. The real intent of the principles was to bring about enlightenment, peaceful living, kindness toward all, calm in your mind and in your life. The principles embody compassionate living. They embody the Buddhist principles of Karuna (compassion toward all beings) and Metta (loving kindness to all). Humility, gratitude, no-anger, not worry, and kindness. In healing ourself, living the principles, we find true mastery. Not mastery of Reiki, but mastery of ourselves.
Anger, Worry, Rudeness and other ego-based behaviors and feelings make it hard to connect and be with this Universal source of love, light and harmony. They also keep one asleep, unaware of the greater spiritual purpose and awakening.
The Usui Reiki System was designed to connect you to and synchronize you with the Universal Source of love, light and harmony, until you realize that you are and always were it. The system is a healing method of transcending. ...
The principles were to be said morning and at night, with hands held in the Gassho position. Likewise, they are said before meditation and before Hatsurei ho (an empowerment and meditation technique). Thinking them throughout the day helps as well. When you integrate these simple things into your life and being, you may find that they will be there when you begin to anger, worry or are unkind to others. In this manner you learn to see the conditionings in yourself, why you do these things and heal yourself. Many find that if you say them often ... that you become mindful of being just that.
Do your work with appreciation refers to working steadfastly on yourself. Working with diligence and effort to see those things that are not held in you and to release the conditions that cause you suffering.
Some may wonder what is meant by "anger not, worry not." This does not mean do not be angry, or do not worry, but something radically different. The principles are from the Meiji Emeror, and have been part of the Buddhist tradition. Anger is an attachment, a demand that we, others or world conditions not be as they *are*, but our wants, desires and conditionings think they need or should be. Your focus determines your reality; where your awareness is, there you are. If your awareness is on anger not, you might begin to see (afterward a happening and your reaction at first, during a happening while you react later, and eventually before your reaction occurs) the conditionings you use to create this anger in yourself. At this point, you can indeed anger not because you see the ego and conditionings that create anger in the first place, and are free to respond to the situation as it *is*, rather than react to what you wanted it to be.

Your focus determines your reality. Where awareness is, there you are. Be mindful of the principals.

Levels of Reiki ~
In current practice in America and Japan, Reiki is taught in levels, and through attunement by a Reiki Master. There are three levels that are generally used. ... [This varies between practitioners and master/teachers.]
Level 1 ~
Reiki Level 1 (called Sho Den in Japan) is taught to those that wish to learn to use the Reiki Energy. The class is taught by a Reiki Master trained to pass the attunements and teach Reiki. There are various attunements for conferring the Reiki energy on a student. Traditional Usui Healing Systems use four attunements. Depending on the school of Reiki one takes classes in, a Reiki I class material generally includes the hand positions used when doing Reiki on self and others, the Reiki principles and the history of Reiki. You then receive the attunement. Reiki I is taught by some to heal on the physical level. Some schools also add information on the effect of the energy on the organs and indications of illness and how to treat them. Some schools teach that Reiki I heals on the physical level.
* * *
Level 2 ~
Reiki Level II (called Oku Den in Japan) teaches the three Reiki Symbols and the student is given another attunement. Some conceptualize Reiki Level II as being a deepening of the Reiki experience and a greater commitment to Reiki. Reiki Level II is thought to heal on the emotional level, while others believe that Reiki always heals on all levels. The Power Symbol, Mental/Emotional Healing Symbot and the Distance Symbol are taught. Their meanings and applications are taught. . . .
* * *
Level 3 ~
Master Level - Third Level Reiki (called Shinpi Den in Japan) is the Master Level of Reiki. Reiki Level III is taught by some to heal on the spiritual level. The Usui Master symbol is taught. The Usui Master Symbol completes the other three symbols taught at Level II. Some traditions require a great commitment on the part of the tudent, and there is a bond forged between student and master. Masters are taught how to initiate others into Reiki using the attunement process. Level III generally includes the Usual Master Symbol (empowerment symbol) and its meaning and application. . . .

REIKI LESSON OF THE DAY

BOYSEN REIKAN HO
Boysen Reikan Ho is a technique somewhat similar to the scanning and beaming practices taught in some 'western' lineage Reiki styles. Boysen is concerned with the 'energetic sensation' perceived at areas of dis-harmony or dis-ease.
Whenever there is dis-ease, dis-harmony or dis-order in a person's energetic makeup (whether or not the individual is aware of it) there will always be an accompanying 'energetic sensation,' referred to as hibiki (reasonance) - providing one is aware of what to look for - and providing one has developed the necessary sensitivity skills to perceive it.
Thus, it is theoretically possible to identify and treat such imbalances before the physical syptoms of the dis-order even have a chance to manifest.
And at the other end of the spectrum, it is possible to determine whether or not the patient is really 'cured,' as, even when the outward symptoms of a dis-order have been alleviated, the continued presence of hibiki would indicate the likelihood of a dis-order reoccurring in the future.
In an ideal world - it is said that a seasoned practitioner can infer from the hibiki the cause, current status, and amount of treatment required to heal the dis-ease.
But Byosen is not a diagnostic technique per se, rather it is a method of locating and treating the source of illness.
The precise nature of the sensations picked up by the practitioner may be: pulsing, heat, coolness, flatness, numbness, pain, 'prickliness,' tingling 'pulling,' etc. To complicate matters somewhat, hibiki sensations, while commonly experienced at the topical site of the person's disease, may actually be experienced in a different area of the body entirely.
For example, a dis-harmony in the stomach may produce hibiki in the forehead, respiratory problems might be indicated by hibiki on the backs of the hands, etc.
For this reason, in order to use Byosen effectively, many people suggest that the practitioner have at least a basic grounding in some form of meridian-based disagnostic treatment theory, as expounded by various practices of TJM/TCM (Traditional Japanese/Chinese Medicine).
Formal Byosen Ho begins with the pracitioner performing gassho and praying/intending that the Reiki phenomenon will flow freely through them for the healing and wellness of the client. Then, beginning at the head and working down the body, the practitioner slowly starts to scan with their hands, searching out the energetic sensations indicative of areas in need of Reiki treatment.
SOME HIBIKI AND THEIR COMMON SIGNIFICANCE
[Note: the intensity of the stimulus perceived can often relfect the severity/depth of the problem].
Attraction generally signifies a need for treatment at the area of pull.
Repulsion indicates a probably long-standing blockage or inhibition of energy flow - something which may take a considerable amount of treatment to alleviate.
Pain often indicates an excess or buildup of energy in the given area (due to blockage, etc.). Sharp pain is sometimes considered to be a sign that the 'pressure' in the given area is causing a negative effect elsewhere in the system.
Tingling frequently signifies areas of inflammation.
Heat sensations in the therapist's hands are indicative of reiki being 'drawn' by the client.
Coldness signifies a deficit of energy in the area (or at least a suppression of energy) due to blockage, etc.
Flux/flow indicates a positive, balanced state, which will nonetheless still benefit from receiving treatment.
