After our individual tree meditations the Reiki students gathered around the cherry tree with Taylore and I for a group meditation, blessing, and healing for this tree.  The tree was in a weakened state, and had lost a large branch over the winter that was not producing leaves in the new spring growth.

We joined hands, and I began the prayer:

Great Spirit and Great Mother Earth, we thank you for the space in which to gather on this day.  We offer ourselves as a conduit for your energies, and ask to be guided into the space that will bring us into harmony with your design for our world at this time.

We accept the offerings of Great Mother Earth, as we allow the energy she provides to us to flow up to and through our feet, up through our legs, through our body and along our arms right to our fingertips.  The energy flows through us and along the chain we have created.  Notice how the energy flows from us to others, and at the same time the energy flows through the fingertips of others to and through us.

We ask for blessings and healing for this cherry tree.  The leaves reach out to Great Spirit and accept the gifts from Great Spirit of the sun and the warmth, offering these as energy for the tree as it flows through and into the earth.  The earth offers her nutrients and water, flowing these energies through the tree as an offering to Great Spirit.  The tree offers itself as a conduit, but it takes the tree to connect the earth and the cosmos, and bring about this exchange.

So is it with each person here today. They serve as a conduit for these earth and cosmic energies, and serve with humility.  Yet each acts in a very important role, for it is only through the individual bringing consciousness to the flow of these energies that the cosmic and earth energies are brought together.  Each person here plays a part in creating a powerful alliance, in bringing forth the dreams of the universe in our worldly environment.

Amen.

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.

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.
