What is Rei Ki?

Reiki, in effect, is the application of divine source healing energy through the placement of the practitioners hands over the recipients body. It is a form of hands-on healing.

The word Reiki is a Kanji idiogram (above) that comprises two words "Rei" and "Ki".

While many authors have interpreted the word "Rei" differently, the interpretations all follow the theme of "God Consciousness" or "Universal Life Force". To most aptly describe the word "Rei" and the concepts behind this word, many Reiki accept that "Rei" stands for "Spirit Taking Breath".

The word "Ki" refers to the energy that runs through everyone and is necessary to exist. The word "Ki" is the same as the Chinese "Chi", Hawaiian "Mana" or Sanskrit "Prana". Ki can only be fully understood by those who experience it. Once you have experienced the flow of "Ki" through your body, you will have a much more subjective understanding of what it is.

In summary, receiving Reiki means that you receive the benefits of universal life force energy from the divine source from whom all love, light and creation emanate. To be Reiki means that you are open to and experienced at conducting the love, light and energy of the universal consciousness.

In it's most basic form, the word chakra is Sanskrit for wheel or disk and signifies one of seven basic energy centers in the body. Each of these centers correlates to major nerve ganglia branching forth from the spinal column. In addition the chakras also correlate to levels of consciousness, archetypal elements, developmental stages of life, colors, sounds, body functions, and much, much more. This is just a basic description and obviously would be explained more deeply in studies. Below is a brief description of each chakra.


Chakra Seven:

Thought, Universal identity, oriented to self-knowledge
This is the crown chakra that relates to consciousness as pure awareness. It is our connection to the greater world beyond, to a timeless, spaceless place of all-knowing. When developed, this chakra brings us knowledge, wisdom, understanding, spiritual connection, and bliss.


Chakra Six:

Light, Archetypal identity, oriented to self-reflection
This chakra is known as the brow chakra or third eye center. It is related to the act of seeing, both physically and intuitively. As such it opens our psychic faculties and our understanding of archetypal levels. When healthy it allows us to see clearly, in effect, letting us "see the big picture."


Chakra Five:

Sound, Creative identity, oriented to self-expression
This is the chakra located in the throat and is thus related to communication and creativity. Here we experience the world symbolically through vibration, such as the vibration of sound representing language.


Chakra Four:

Air, Social identity, oriented to self-acceptance

This chakra is called the heart chakra and is the middle chakra in a system of seven. It is related to love and is the integrator of opposites in the psyche: mind and body, male and female, persona and shadow, ego and unity. A healthy fourth chakra allows us to love deeply, feel compassion, have a deep sense of peace and centeredness.


Chakra Three:

Fire, Ego identity, oriented to self-definition
This chakra is known as the power chakra, located in the solar plexus. It rules our personal power, will, and autonomy, as well as our metabolism. When healthy, this chakra brings us energy, effectiveness, spontaneity, and non-dominating power.


Chakra Two:

Water, Emotional identity, oriented to self-gratification
The second chakra, located in the abdomen, lower back, and sexual organs, is related to the element water, and to emotions and sexuality. It connects us to others through feeling, desire, sensation, and movement. Ideally this chakra brings us fluidity and grace, depth of feeling, sexual fulfillment, and the ability to accept change.


Chakra One:

Earth, Physical identity, oriented to self-preservation

Located at the base of the spine, this chakra forms our foundation. It represents the element earth, and is therefore related to our survival instincts, and to our sense of grounding and connection to our bodies and the physical plane. Ideally this chakra brings us health, prosperity, security, and dynamic presence.

Today is the day!

Today is the day I decide to drop old friends that treat me like crap. I don't need friends in my life that treat me that way. It is odd though. I find myself clinging on to a start of a new frienship. Now I'm just going to let it die. I don't want to invest time, money, energy, and love into a frienship when I know that I'll be treated the same way. I should have dumped the idiot when I found out they my 2 best friends slept together on MY COUCH. They both knew better. They deserve each other. That doesn't mean though that I'm going to loose my composer and yell. My New Years Eve date dumped me and when out alone. This was the same person that slept with my best friend. I sure know how to pick them.
Enough is enough. Now I'm going to walk over their and get my keys and end it once and for all.
The only good news that I have is that I chanted for 20 minutes the Hari om tat sat jai guru datta mantra and then sat in meditation. YAY. I did something for myself for a change.
Yesterday I went out for a walk and ate supper and then went to Joseph. He is a tree that I named and gave Reiki attunements to. He is very healing. I went there last night to practice a grounding technique that I learned to no avail. While I was standing beside him light surrounded me from the tree. It was amazing. It's good to know that I have done something right and that even though my mistakes are many, I have done some things right and have made a lasting impression for the better on someone's life.
I am angry and don't know how to let go of the pain that people have caused me. I ask God to take away the anger, but it only leaves for awhile. Anyone out there no how to release the pain and grief that people cause write me please. I'm working on it but am no good and now I'm getting bitter. I don't want my dreams to die but that is what is happening.
