In May 2008 I stopped for a visit to the Reiki Ranch in Adna, Washington during their four-day Reiki Retreat.  I had several tasks and activities planned for this weekend, offering individual short sessions for those interested in a clairvoyant reading.

When I arrived I noticed a hummingbird in the tree above my car.  He chattered to me, and I smiled and gave thanks.  Then he flew to a branch closer to me, and chattered again.  “You have a job to do”, he said.  “Well, I’m sure at some point I will know what that will be”, I replied.

I gathered my papers and notebook from my car, and when I glanced down I noticed the clover growing in the grass.  Just a few days earlier I had found six four-leaf clovers during my walks.  I wondered if I would find another today.  The answer was “no, you have a job to do”.  Okay, I suppose now I should put some attention on what is asked of me. 

I focused on the property and the elemental energies.  The earth spoke out to me, telling me to shift my energy.  “Shift to what?” I asked.  I had a wonderful meditation a few days prior that I found to be newly enriching, but it came so easily that I did not give thought to its value.  But the earth spoke out to me, telling me to continue to use this new earth energy and bring it into the consciousness of the group attending the workshop. 

A few hours later I was sitting outside in a patio area, talking with attendee’s of the class, and something pulled my attention toward that same tree.  I saw many little birds flying around the area above my car, and from their erratic flight pattern I knew they were hummingbirds.  I had not seen so many together like this before.  Then they were gone.  “You have a job to do”, they said.  I promised to focus on the task given to me.

Do you find that your life is more difficult than normal? Your life manager (your subconscious mind) may be protecting you or blocking you because of a past life situation.

You may find that you were punished in a past life for healing or teaching spiritual principles. Many students are finding this to be true, and your past life karma can be cleared. It is especially easy to clear this with Laser Reiki and Cosmic Energetic Healing (Levels 4 and 5 of your Reiki training).

Others feared their power never realizing that it is a natural and spiritual birthright ability. Spiritual power is not supernatural—it is one of your natural abilities. Accept this!

Time Is Speeding Up!

Times have changed. In fact, time is speeding up! There is a worldwide need to train as many people as possible in Reiki. Even more practitioners are needed to bring this life-giving energy into the physical world. You have chosen an important time to begin working with Life force energies. The most exciting expansion of human consciousness that our world has ever experi-enced is happening right now. You will expand your energy as a Light Being and help lead others in the times to come.

The Internet and the Information Age is creating a fast-paced world that can be exciting and challenging. As time is speeding up, this cycle may be coming to an end and you will see an even larger split between the dark and the Light forces. Many people are experiencing higher levels of stress in daily life because of the actions of our government, other governments, terror-ists, germ warfare, inflation, the stock market, job lay-offs, unsafe investments, and bad behavior of corporate officers.

In order to cope with life today, more people need to learn and use Reiki. With the advent of the World Wide Web, information about Reiki is reaching a broader audience than ever before. Dozens of Internet sites have been posted offering to send and teach Reiki. The Inter-national Center for Reiki Training states: The purpose of our organization is to help everyone use Reiki more effectively to create balance and harmony in our lives. We live in what is perhaps the most interesting of times and there are now many more opportunities for personal and spiritual growth than ever before. By working together and allowing Reiki to guide us, we can improve the quality of life on the planet for everyone and enable global consciousness to move quickly to a new and higher level.

At one time becoming a First Degree Reiki practitioner required years of study. Becoming a Second Degree practitioner took even more years. The training for Reiki master was limited to only a handful of people who may have studied and worked a lifetime (or lifetimes) before reaching this level.

Reiki 1 training increases the flow of energy into an individual. Your ability to flow healing energy will increase up to 20% with each attunement to Reiki.

Down through history the normal flow of energy was closed down. Historically and genetically speaking, people who appeared to have special abilities during the ages of persecution were harmed in some way. Remember reading about the burning of witches? This knowledge that flowing a large current of Source Energy would be dangerous to your health because of the punishments received in ancient times may have caused the subconscious mind to close you down in this life. The tendency to protect you may also have been carried over from a past life experience or from your genetic line into your present life. There may be other reasons to explain why you may not be flowing the necessary energy to heal others. For example, your family does not approve or understand.

Your physical body is hard-wired to flow Source Energy just like a computer’s hard drive is wired to run Windows and other software programs. The Reiki attunements open your natural flow of energy again—most of you need to release those energy blockages. When you come into your bodies, you inherit a batch of genetic fears and feelings brought down from many generations. Plus, you bring along your own set of emotional handicaps from other lives.

Reiki is simply the laying-on-of-hands healing and is pronounced ray-key. Reiki energy healing is a spiritual healing technique which involves, but is not limited to, the laying on of hands. It was rediscovered in the late 1800s by Dr. Mikao Usui in Japan, and is thought to have originated thousands of years ago. A very simple, yet powerful healing art, you can use on yourself as well as on others. You can easily learn how to do it. Even children are inclined toward Reiki and use it to help them cope with the outside world. No previous knowledge or training is required to attend a Reiki Training workshop.

Reiki is derived from two Japanese words:

rei — meaning soul or spirit

ki — meaning life force energy

Reiki is easy to learn and use. Reiki is Universal energy that seems to have its own consciousness (it follows Universal Law), and is able to provide exactly what is needed on all levels. Traditionally, Reiki has been taught in three degrees or levels. A specific attunement for each degree of training is passed down from Reiki master to student.

To become a Reiki 1, Reiki 2, Reiki 3, or beyond, the student-practitioner receives an attunement from a Reiki master in person. (It is possible for a master to send the attunements over a distance to the student.) The teachings and attunements are passed down from master to student in a series of classes or workshops. (Check out our schedule of free in-person Reiki I Certification classes)

Reiki is a simple Universal (God Force) energy with healing techniques used by age-old masters. Respect the healing energy because it is coming directly from the Universal energy currents. Acknowledge the sacredness of learning this information. The attunements will enhance inborn abilities and enable students to pass Reiki energy along to others.

Reiki is beyond all our human divisions. It is neither cult, nor religion, nor belief system. Even though Reiki is not a religion, it is spiritual in nature and connects you to the Source Energy that most people call God or the Universe. Besides the obvious use in serious illness, Reiki actively promotes the healing process in many other ways. It acts not only on physical levels, but also addresses mental, emotional, psychological, genetic, and energetic imbalances. Reiki is entirely compatible with other therapies, healing modalities, and treat-ments. Many nurses and other health caregivers are adding Reiki to their skills.
