What Will Reiki Do, We have all been brought up to believe that it is better to give than receive and when we first receive Reiki we want to go out and heal the world. But what we must be aware of is that Reiki is for the self first and we are the ones that Reiki will help heal first and foremost. You will also find that when healing others you will grow in body, mind and spirit. If this is all you receive from Reiki then isn’t that a wonderful gift on its own.
What Reiki will do for you No matter what, Reiki will bring about change in your life that will result in growth.
Always remember that through our journey of life – “Enlightenment is the Goal, Healing is the Byproduct.” I feel our journey here on this planet is to become one with our spirit, become one with the God Source. In other words, become Christlike in every essence of the word. For does it not say in the bible that Jesus states “These miracles I do, ye shall do and more.” This is one of the things that Reiki gives us the skills to do. You are being awakened to ancient wisdom and knowledge that has been lost over the years of society seeking materialistic wealth and recognition. Listen to it, act upon the information that Reiki gives us and most important all learn and grow from your experiences.
Learn to look at life as a learning experience with many lessons on the way and learn to see these experiences as simply something we have to go through, not positive or negative, simply as a lesson to help us grow. And when it is over learn from your experience, ask yourself “what is this teaching me, what do I have to learn from this?” Mahatma Gandhi said, “When your a confronted by an opponent conquer him with love!” This is what Reiki is in its purest essence “Love Energy” which is the most powerful of all the energies in the universe.
There are no rights on wrongs to Reiki, use it as you see fit and always remember the rule of the universe “What you put out shall be returned” for the world we create around ourselves is simply a reflection of our true inner being. There are also no limitations as to what can be done by Reiki so please don’t put any on it yourself and always remember that Reiki will do something regardless of the size of the task.
In our personal growth, we often find ourselves in situations that require us to assist another person. 3 simple rule here will help our growth for the people that come to us for help are simply mirrors of ourselves in some way and if we can learn to identify this and recognize it for what it truly is that we are being presented with there will be no limits to our growth.
Rule 1 is to Look! In being an observer of the world all around us we are able to ask ourselves “What is that in me?, Do I need healing in that area?” Then trust your inner guiding voice or feeling for that is our inner wisdom and it contains all the answers to the universe. If only we listen.
Rule 2 is to Listen! To listen to ourselves, our bodies and others around us will always lead us to the right place at the right time. Listening is learning. Listening is healing.
Rule 3 is to Learn! When we learn to understand who we are and begin our own self-healing, we are in a better position to help others and open the doors to their own healing. When we are a Reiki channel it is important to remember “Heal the self first then heal others” for how can we help others when we do not apply the same things to ourselves.
In connection to this, I would like to share the story of Mahatma Gandhi who was asked by a lady to tell her son to stop eating sugar. Gandhi asked the woman to return in a fortnight with her son. When she returned 2 weeks later Gandhi looked at her son and said “It is best if you don’t eat sugar.” The woman looked at him puzzled and asked why he hadn’t just said that before?” Gandhi replied, “I could not ask of him what I had not done myself!”
