Reiki Healing is a
Spiritual Healing Technique
You Already Have

Reiki healing is the Japanese name for a pre-historic method the human being has always used to heal itself, laying on of hands. It could be said that the technique is among the first ways people had of demonstrating their humanity.

Rei, which means universal and healing and ki, which means energy and force, is the largest generic movement of energy healing in the U.S. This movement is discussed in greater length in the second book in the SWG series, The Spiritual Warrior's Guide to Reiki Medicine. Reiki as we know it today originated with Zen Buddhist Mikao Usui of Japan. Ever seeking enlightenment and especially interested in healing mind-body-spirit, he fasted for 21 days on a mountain and on his return realized he had healing powers.

When I became attuned to this technique, I immediately had access to emotions I didn't know I had. My 21-day fast was not a fast to prevent eating food, it was a fast was to forego attending meetings. This was very hard to do. The emotions that poured out of me were unhappiness, anger, dissatisfaction, and astonishment that I could feel in such vivid color. See my brochure for the emotional and other benefits of the reiki healing technique; use this form to request a copy.

I performed reiki on myself every day for the first year. I kept hearing some voice saying, "Liar, Liar, LIAR," which had me walking around thinking, Who is lying? Was I lying? Where's the lie? Why is that a lie?

My mind and heart obviously opened as a result of my initiation into the practice. What had intellectually served me before in my interactions with friends, family and groups to which I belonged, no longer served me. I was forced to feel everything that was going on, rather than sit back and analyze it and be reactive. My heightened senses made me more proactive about choices I needed to make. One was to tell my mate I was not happy. The courage required to do this was unimaginable before, and now I saw a falsehood in who I was being that did not please me. I became able to summon the voice to say what I felt.

Still, the gentleness of reiki allowed my ex-husband and me to amicably separate. He was initiated too, and this prompted him to realize he needed to move out. We are now both remarried to new lifemates and we are a huge happy clan, even as we work out some kinks (no, not that way! LOL). I mean with the children and blended families.

There are thousands of types of spiritual healing energy emanating from Usui's naming it about 100 years ago. Since the 1950s-70s, Americans started creating their own forms because of what the reiki healing work brought up for them. The man who founded the Seichem/SKHM form, Patrick Zeigler, is now doing All Love-type reiki healing, as I point out on another page. My friend Frances Fuller took her training in the modality and evolved it into the Rainbow Healing System in Bangkok and Bali, described on the Color page. I hold this technique as the power gained in bodily prostration transported to another person. In salah, the Muslim prayer, one prostrates one's head to the ground, and the mark on the top of the forehead indicates that a Muslim practices fervently. It is the spirit of this total submission to God that I carry into my practice of reiki.

I was given Seichem Reiki in addition to Usui. This means I also do chakra balancing and other energy work that ever expanding knowledge I am gaining of these spheres of life (the dynamic unseen).

As the driver of the HealMobile, it is a pleasure and honor to present Reiki III as of this writing. This means you can get the benefit of a complete reiki session at your home or at ours (New Jersey/New York area). After we take the next step of training that enables us to teach this ancient practice, it's likely that reiki healing classes will be offered. Again, use this form to inquire about an appointment, or click the calendar button on our Young Living Essential Oils website to suggest an appointment date that way.

Until such time as we meet, do read up on reiki and energy healing. Use your hands and your focused mindfulness to increase peace, decrease pain, and accelerate healing for you and your family.
