Re: Reiki

Dear Sacredstar,

Thanks a lot for the links. They'll definetely keep me busy for a while. I have a question in my mind for quite some time now and I might ask you about it if I cannot find the answer in those links.

Best regards,

Re: Reiki

Hello Ryuuko,

The info I have about Barbara Rhei was from an old class of mine. I still have my notebook, but it seems my teacher didn't gave us a complete information on the subject. Maybe she tought we didn't need it as the purpose of the class was to teach us radiesthezie. That was 10 years ago. I also met tow persons, one who was practicing Reiki and the other one who attained level one only. The second one was not aloud to do level two and that was not because he didn't want to learn.

You are right, I should speak about levels and not degrees. Sorry, it's been a while since I didn't give a thought on the subject. So it's not easy to find my words in this domain.

About choosing the path. Well, not everbody want do learn and practice Reiki, for example. In fact, you may find people who think that's only rubbish. As a student in Reiki, you have chosen this path in life. I've personally chosen the radiesthezie and not Reiki.

Now about the money issue. You are a student and Sacredstar is a Reiki Master Teacher. If a candidate presents himself to learn Reiki, but in his mind has only the idea of gaining a lot of money from it and not helping the others, is this candidate accepted or not as a student ?

Dear Alexa,

Thank you for your post. If I may ask, what's radiesthezie?

Thank you also for your explanations--the point about choosing a path is well taken. Although everybody has the potential to become a Reiki practitioner, not everybody chooses to do so, and I very much respect that. We need different people in differents areas of life.

That's fine Alexa, we're all here to learn. Please don't be sorry for that.

I'm not a Reiki master yet, but would like to one day. As a Reiki Master herself, perhaps SacredStar will correct me here, but if I follow my intuition with this, I would not accept a student that has money as his or her primary motive for Reiki. Reiki is all about helping others and not about making a profit.

As for the Reiki master denying further access into the study of Reiki, I believe it's up to the Reiki Master to discern whether the student is ready for the next attunement. The student may feel ready, but perhaps he or she has not completed enough homework, or simply does not have a fuller understanding of Reiki. Here's a comparison: it's like completing grade 3 math class without having fully understood the principle of addition. It would make grade 4 math exponentially harder. Hawayo Takata, the Reiki Master who brought Reiki from Japan to the United States, required students to wait at least a year before the second and third attunements. And so perhaps your friend was "denied" the level two attunement because of the reasons mentioned above.

Well Reiki is not a straight line like a path for some it is a simple and wonderful stepping stone on to something else. Reiki itself is just one of the many tools I have in my tool box, the more the merrier as a metaphysician.
Reiki developed me so for instance I am now able to use Reiki to remote viewing and working with the energy system, mind, body and spirit remotely, to the extent that I have been able to do soul retrieval and past life healing remotely. Also access the cause of disease that doctors were unable to locate or diagnose.

I would never turn anyone down for a Reiki first level unless they had a serious mental health problem e.g. severe schizoprehnia. The reason being that level one can help everyone to heal the self (and is a gift from GOD) and also heal the relationship with money. Reiki opens the heart centre and people find it very difficult not to live in their hearts of truth and integrity. Those that are motivated by money are rare indeed, in the 4 years that I have been teaching, I have only had 2 people ask me what they could expect to earn as a practitioner or teacher. These people change while in training and those that are motivated by money rarely make the grade! Dr Usui sees all!

Do I give level two on demand, no I do not. I assess the people on level one.
Some I have asked to postpone and some do not qualify by fulfilling the criteria. My standards are stringent as my name is carried with their work and I need to know that practitioners are confident, coming from pure intent of the heart, compassionate, sensitive and efficient amongst other things.
50% of the level 2's that I teach qualify. I ask for a minimum of 8-12 weeks before level II and a year from qualification of level II before students consider level III. They have to learn to drive the car before they can teach others to drive.

Blessings in Abundance

I think that makes a lot of sense. Level 1 does open up the heart chakra, and often money matters (associated with the root chakra) are quickly dissolved as people are operating at a higher frequency through the heart chakra.

Re: Reiki

It is a sad fact that people think that Reiki Practitioners and teachers make a lot of money, I have only met one Reiki Master Teacher who made double figures and he had to close the business due to debt. People do not appreciate the hours of support that is always unpaid and the administration involved in providing a good service.

Many people have an issue with money, some accussing others of making it and others not being able to charge for their time. Both have issues with money that need healing. Money is an energy and like all energy it is how we deal with that energy that really counts. Those that have contempt for money usually have create their own reality for everything is GOD.

So if we have contempt for anything we also have contempt for GOD for all is energy.

My philosophy is that the more I have the more I can give. I got to a point in my career when my guides told me that my apprenticeship was over, and now it was time to be Robin Hood, so those that can afford to pay do so, and there are many people that I serve globally that do not pay anything for the help that is provided. But it is rare for people to make donations for help given, once their situations improve. Sadly there are more takers then givers in this world, but I pray this will change with the power of Reiki.

Onwards and upwards

As per wikipedia's definition "the radiesthesia is a phenomenon similar to dowsing that is used for medical diagnosis. It uses a pendulum, suspended above a patient. The nature of the swinging and direction of rotation, would indicate the person's ailment".

In reality there are several instruments used as rods and antennas, electronic dowsing devices, rods nut trees, metal wands in a V or L form, Turenne's ruler, etc.

As per the definition given by my professor, "the radiesthesia is the phenomenon through which an alive system receptions from the energetic and informational ocean a kind of infoenergetic signal, searched before in a pre-established mode and when this signal is discovered reacts in a physical movement or a specific sensation, which alouds to the conscient to recognize that signal".

There are levels like in Reiki, 5 as per my knolwedge. Level one is a basic one: searching of objects, water, minerals, deposits, etc. Level 2: the investigation and perception of an alive system, the diagnose of a disease, anomalies, physical bio-fields, etc. Level 3 : methods of work : the amplification of a biofield, the reduction of an anomaly, compatibility, techniques of infoenergetic recovering etc. Level 4. Crystalographie, pyramidologie, telepathie. Level 5. Infoenergetique, internal pyramidology.

In theory, every person can learn it. In practise, only those with good hearts are taken as students. The most important thing is to realize you are only the instrument or the chanel of God and not the healer.

I asked you about the money. A radiesthesist do the same as a Reiki practitioner for his services. But all those who presented themselves for a level one class with the idea in mind of finding some tresaures or getting rich in process, were sent home since the beginning. This kind of person is not aloud to do even the first class into a level one. This is not like a Marketing class where you pay and you can study. You need a kind of profil and real interest to help the others.

Dear Alexa

"You need a kind of profil and real interest to help the others."

Ah and there is the difference level one of Reiki is about healing self, because if one does not heal the self one cannot be a clear channel for the energy to heal anyone else.

Love beyond measure

Re: Reiki

Dear Sacredstar,

The healing self applies in radiesthesie, too. That's why I have asked you about the respiratory exercices. Or may be I should name them as purificatory and concentration practice.

The real difference can be in beliefs. I don't know if this applies everywhere in the world where you can take a radiesthesie class, but there where I've taken it from, there are Christians.

Regards,

Alexa

Re: Reiki

Dear Alexa

I must admit I have not heard of this method you speak of here in the UK or in Australia. Although one of our students does teach dowsing, I will have to ask him if he as heard of it.

The breathing method in Reiki is called

Joshin Kokyuu~Ho
Translated means 'the breathing method for cleansing the spirit'

being love

Re: Reiki

Dear Alexa

I checked with the dowsing teacher and he said he as seen your therapy advertised here in a dowsing magazine and was thankful for your information.

Love beyond measure

Thumbs up Re: Reiki

Hi there. Just stumbled accross this forum and noticed the Reiki questions. If you would like to receive Reiki healing right NOW simply visit my website, (details in profile) be open to receiving the healing and you will feel it. In order for one to be healed, they must be open to the healing and be prepared to allow the changes to take place and also be the change.

When you give your body the right conditions, it can and will heal itself.
