Ra says it over and over again, that the most a healer can do is give an entity the opportunity to heal itself. When you talk to Reiki healers, they'll tell you they can unblock chakras, etc. It seems like this method is similar to the "working from yellow ray" healer that Ra talks about, where they force their will on the individual, and its temporary. What are your thoughts?
I have a direct Initiatory Usui Reiki lineage (back to Mikao Usui- 1800's) (I was initiated in 1994).
(NB: Usui (re)discovered "Reiki".)
The Japanese "reiki" is commonly written as レイキ in katakana syllabary. It compounds the words rei (霊: "spirit, miraculous, divine") and ki (気; qi: "gas, vital energy, breath of life, consciousness").
I'm not a "Reiki healer" I'm a channel - a conduit, for 'Life-force Energy' to
with permission enter into another energy field.
(Usui) Reiki is a transmission of Qi/Chi/Hara to
Quote:"give an entity the opportunity to heal itself"
This is
the foundation upon which it's based.
I'm facilitating a connection; I'm NOT "a healer" or "
the" healer - I'm a conduit for that Energy which (ever since initiation) 24/7 comes through my crown chakra; fills me up (thereby offering healing energy to ourselves first, ie: "healer heal thyself") then exiting my palm chakras into the person I place my palms onto.
(NB: and
only if that person's energy field chooses to accept the Reiki)
(people rarely reject it - but if they do I receive a feeling to immediately lift my hands off them.)
Psychic impressions/information
can come through according to the Reiki channel's already existing (and Reiki-enhanced) abilities - but that's an application/augmentation of a modality separate to actual Reiki.
But from my experience - (Usui) Reiki
already is achieving that unblocking (if the 'energetic conversation' Reiki was having with the recipient agreed to that).
So there's no need for me to use other modalities because (Usui) Reiki interacts/interfaces on such a deep and comprehensive level that other modalities are mostly redundant.
But there could be an instance that part of the needed experience would be for me to 'receive the information' that I should describe to the person that they have a chakra blockage
and then ask if they give permission for that to be removed.... but usually
it would already have been removed or
left alone (as the blockage might still be serving an important function for the person)
without any dialogue.
I find Reiki a very quiet, still, experience. I don't know 'why' or 'how' I
know to move from one area of the body to another - or why a whole 'treatment' might be spent on only one area.
My lineage is:
Mikao Usui --> Chujiro Hayashi --> Hawayo Takata --> Rev Beth Grey --> Beverly Bultitude --> Me (1994)
There are countless people who identify as Reiki channels/'practitioners' - who have no idea who Usui was - or can't trace their lineage of initiation back to him; and countless people have learnt highly 'modified' forms or leave out main steps when they channel 'Reiki'.
Many still provide energy healing connections
that are very useful. Many - not.
(Usui) Reiki has gone from a strictly guarded, oral transmission only, initiation; passed down from master to master with defined protocols, symbols and precepts; to many modified forms/variations/combinations with other modalities, beliefs etc; and some of those are questionable (weakened, ineffective, egoistic).
Strictly speaking - once it's modified in any form from the
original 'Usui Reiki' it
should lose the name 'Reiki'. For clarity.
Chakra assessment isn't part of what I learnt from my Usui Reiki master for first or second degree (I'm initiated fully - but didn't take the third initiation which would enable me to initiate others with permanent Reiki energy).
I can sense, and work with chakras but doing that is not "Usui Reiki" (though my metaphysical capacities opened up big time after initiation ie: telepathy etc).
So, if I was 'directed' to unblock a chakra while channelling Reiki into someone I'd 'ask Reiki' if I needed to ask the persons
permission first.
For your situation; I'd ask for permission (either verbally or telepathically) to do such an un-blockage/modification. To
not do that, just going ahead and then mentioning it either while doing it or afterwards - does suggest ego/control; to
Quote:"force their will on the individual, and its temporary"
I get the sense you feel you had no agency in the experience? - and that's
directly the opposite of Reiki.
I'm
the conduit between Universal Life force and 'you'... therein is the 'conversation' - it's
not about 'me'. It's complete STO.
My Usui Reiki Master described it like we are a 'pipe' - a tube to take Reiki into our crown chakras - fill up us - then spill over into others.
Additionally - that blockage may have been serving you very well at that point - so permission is required. You get to choose - not me.
So, many people say they are Reiki channels
when they aren't doing original traditional 'pure' (Usui) Reiki.
(NB: I'm
not criticising modifications; I'm saying that the modification itself means the form of original "Reiki" has been altered
so it should be given another name.)
As I've trained in a Japanese martial art - I have a strong understanding of the protocol of Japanese culture, and spirituality.
Usui Reiki was
never intended to be modified or combined with other metaphysical forms.
If you've been initiated into
the direct original lineage it's a very exacting, strict, secretive spiritual process; and if you know other modalities or have your own energetic/psychic skills as a 'practitioner' you must make sure you explain that - not just say "this is Reiki".
Permission is an inbuilt precept of Usui Reiki. Without verbal (or from the Higher Mind - if sending over distance) permission, it simply can not flow from me to the recipient.
I'm unsure about what you experienced.
This article is an interesting discussion related to your OP.
https://www.sbs.com.au/topics/life/healt...ring-reiki
NB: Disclaimer - I'm
not criticising any replies to this page.
The experiences described here seem to have
much validity and worth from what I read. I just wouldn't say they are (Usui) Reiki; (and I don't think the OP experienced (Usui) Reiki.)
Overall the point is
very important. We can only offer - not coerce, force, impose or 'do' someone's healing for them.
(That blockage and hook are back where
you want them to be; serving their original possibly useful purpose.)
If you were having a session of Reiki
through me 'It' would have conversed
directly with your internal 'All That Is' and together 'You'd' have got unblocked if you wished - with no need for me to say a word.
Because one of the main principles is - it's not 'about' me.
