This is a follow-up post to What Reiki Training Classes Can Do You For You.

The shining light of Reiki

The shining light of Reiki

Because even with the countless benefits of taking an in-person or online Reiki class, you should know that there are some things that won’t be solved solely by taking the course and receiving the attunement.

Now, we are not saying not to take a Reiki class. Quite the contrary! The whole world should be attuned to Reiki. However, we have seen a phenomenon recently with healing modalities such as Reiki where people love the feeling of feeling good, but deny and suppress any bad feelings as being “not of the light”.

Love your shadow with Reiki

Reiki classes will shine light on your shadow

This can become dangerous, as literally everyone has negative feelings and beliefs that could stand to be healed. And it makes sense why we do this, too, because who in their right minds wants to feel bad?

However, covering up negative beliefs and ignoring them with healing modalities like Reiki will never heal those wounds. In order to truly heal, we must uncover them and deal with them so they can truly get better.

Taking a Reiki class and receiving an attunement will give you the opportunity to look at your issues. The intelligent Reiki energy will stir up those emotions. However, it is still up to you to look at them and see them for what they truly are. Emotions caused by beliefs about yourself and the world around you that you formed when you were a child.

Since our rational mind doesn’t really form until we reach the age of 7, a lot of the beliefs you hold were created before you had the ability to reason. Therefore, you assumed that everything that happened was your fault, or that the world was a certain way because of your experiences.

Therefore, you should never blame yourself for holding these beliefs. You are doing the best you can. We all are.

At the same time, however, you are being given a gift when your issues move from your subconscious mind to your conscious mind. Deal with them, and your life will be so much better for it. You’ll see.

So, remember, while Reiki training classes are life-changing and life-affirming and all that jazz, there is one thing they cannot do: heal you of their own accord. Reiki classes and training programs can assist you in the process, but only you can heal yourself. So why not do it?

What Reiki Training Classes Can Do For You

Take a Reiki training class, and one thing is for sure; your life will never be the same again. There is virtually no way you can get a Reiki attunement from a Reiki master and not be changed for the better by it. You may not feel better at the time, or you may initially feel worse as the Reiki brings up all the painful emotions, experiences and beliefs about yourself you have been so strongly pushing down (as do we all), but rest assured your cellular makeup will be changed all right. And you will be a stronger, healthier and more fully-functioning human being thanks to the Reiki.

your mind on Reiki

Your mind on Reiki

Here are a few things Reiki training courses can do for you:
  1. Teach you how to relax by giving you a tool to use on yourself when you feel anxious
  2. Help further your spiritual growth on this planet as you are able to see more clearly your reason for incarnating at this time.
  3. Reiki classes can jumpstart your psychic abilities as they open up your channels to higher wisdom and consciousness that may have been closed before.
  4. Your Reiki training will bring up your ‘stuff’ so you can feel those painful emotions and let them go so you don’t have to deal with them again.

What to do when your ‘stuff’ comes up from a Reiki class

Reiki- much more than a band aid

Reiki - much more than a band aid

Yes, your stuff will come up. It is coming up for a reason, though, so you can heal it and let it go from your physical body.

You see, the saying that “time heals all wounds” is not entirely true in our book. While the strength and force of the pain does diminish over time as we go through the grieving process of the loss of whatever wounded us, the emotions that we don’t process from the wound get stored in our body and can remain there indefinitely.

These emotions being lodged in our bodies doesn’t come without consequences, however. Emotions that we don’t process get tucked away and cause physical illness, sometimes ten, twenty years down the road.

That is why the best way to ensure true body health for yourself is to feel your emotions as they arise. This is what children do, and once the feeling passes they go on about their business as if nothing was wrong.

How to feel your emotions as they arise

Feeling your emotions sounds easier said than done, doesn’t it? We live in a society where we’ve been taught to deny how we feel, to be strong no matter what and act like everything is okay even when we don’t necessarily feel that way.

But with practice, feeling your feelings becomes easier. Let’s say you feel bad when something happens. Unless it is a life crisis that everyone deals with such as death of a loved one or loss of a relationship, your reason for feeling bad probably has more to with your beliefs around the situation than the truth of what is going on.

So a great way to help yourself stay with the feelings is to recognize that you feel this way because of false beliefs you adopted as a child. These beliefs are not true or real, even if the emotions they cause surely feel that way!

Also, have compassion for yourself for feeling the way you do. It makes perfect sense, especially given these false beliefs you adopted when you were growing up and didn’t know any better. Compassion for yourself is really the key.

Break free with a Reiki class

Reiki classes help you break free from false beliefs about yourself

So, in a nutshell, Reiki classes and training programs can do a great deal in improving your mental and physical health, allowing you to live more fully in the truth of the beautiful person that you are. Not too shabby for a healing art, eh?

Reiki and Pendulums FAQ

Reiki pendulum

Oh pendulum, how did you get to be so wise?

Just in case your questions about using pendulums during your Reiki sessions or treatments wasn’t covered in our previous articles, here are some additional frequently asked questions:

Are pendulums accurate?

Depends. They can be entirely spot-on eerily accurate, or completely inaccurate. This depends not on the pendulum, as it has the potential to deliver the correct answer each and every time, but rather on your mind and emotions and whether you can get them out of the way.  Receiving an accurate answer from your pendulum during Reiki sessions requires you to be completely and fully present in the here and now.

How can I trust that my pendulum is giving me accurate information during Reiki treatments?

The bottom line is this. While you can (and should!) use pendulums in your Reiki sessions for guidance and support, you cannot make a wrong decision with Reiki really. To play Devil’s advocate, let’s say you asked the pendulum if you should move to the client’s head during the Reiki session or stay at her feet. The pendulum says, “Yes”, meaning stay at her feet, when in reality you ‘should’ move to her head.

trust your intuition in ReikiThe Reiki healing energy is no dummy! It will still travel to her head if that’s where she needs it most. So never fear that your Reiki pendulum is giving you the wrong answer. Rather, have fun using your pendulum! You may find that you ask it a question, and before your pendulum answers you already know the answer. Go with your gut, not the pendulum. Maybe your pendulum is testing you to see if you trust your intuition!

 

Does each pendulum have an ‘owner’, per se?

Well, your pendulum does use your energy and your vibrations to provide you with answers and insight. Therefore, you shouldn’t let other people handle your pendulum, since they might send their vibrations into it and ‘confuse’ it, so to speak. If someone does touch your pendulum, just be sure to use the ‘safe clearing’ symbol if you know it, and then power your Reiki pendulum up again with the Reiki power symbol. Your pendulum should be just fine!

Can pendulums predict the future?

No, not really. Your pendulum is giving you answers for the present moment. Pendulums are not really a tool that can be used in predicting the future. That’s what a skilled psychic is for!

So be grateful for the answers, but remember to be flexible. And luckily, the only moment you should be thinking about is the present one anyway. What else do you have really?  The past has already been determined and anything can happen at any time in the future.

I’m confused. When I use my Reiki pendulum, am I getting messages from Spirit, my Higher Self or my subconscious?

pendulums tap into your subconsciousUnfortunately, there is no easy answer to this question. Basically, you are getting information that your subconscious believes to be true. That being said, Spirit and your Higher Self can speak to you through your subconscious.

But if you use your Reiki pendulum in the traditional way of asking it questions, generally the responses you receive will be from your subconscious. It is the dominant force in your emotions, after all!

Now if you want to receive answers from your Higher Self, you can make statements to your pendulum during Reiki sessions such as, “My Higher Self knows _____ to be true.” You can also use the Reiki symbol that calls in your Higher Self if you know it.

Even if you don’t know the symbol, you can invite your Higher Self to be with you while you use the pendulum and during the Reiki treatment by saying something to the effect of, “I invite my Higher Self to be here now.”  All the Reiki Master teachers here call in our Higher Selves before we teach Reiki training classes, give Reiki attunements or give Reiki treatments. We highly recommend you do too!

Reiki Healing Energy FAQ

Reiki Healing Energy FAQ

Reiki Healing Energy

What is Reiki Healing Energy?

Reiki is ‘Universal Life Force Energy’ that comes through a Reiki practitioner attuned to the Reiki energy.  The Reiki healing energy flows from the Universe, through the Reiki practitioner and to the person, situation or object they are sending Reiki to. Everything is energy, and Reiki energy just so happens to be a form of energy that is directed by Spirit to heal.

How does the Reiki energy work?

Essentially, the Reiki energy goes where Spirit directs it to go. This very smart and always beneficial energy heals at a cellular and atomic level. It literally changes things by breaking up stagnant energy, adding in positive energy if needed, and creating space for healing to take place.  We also go into further detail in the article “How Does Reiki Healing Energy Work?”

What is the difference between Reiki healing energy and other types of energywork?

Dr. Usui ‘discovered’ the Reiki energy and put a name to it in Japan in 1904. We put ‘discovered’ in parenthesis because we believe the energy has been around as long as we have.  Probably longer! But we love Dr. Usui for creating a specific modality and allowing people to pass down the ability to send Reiki energy specifically.

Although other forms of energywork are spiritually-directed as well, Reiki healing energy contains a number of symbols that each have their own energy. These symbols can be used for specific purposes, such as to heal karma, to strengthen relationships or to quiet a person’s mind.

What can I use Reiki healing energy for?

This is where we redirect you to the article ‘How to Use Your Reiki Healing Training’.  But let us just say that we use it all day, every day. Even the words you are reading now have been imbued with Reiki healing energy!

How can I use the Reiki healing energy?

People can transmit and send Reiki healing energy once they are attuned to it. An attunement is the process by which a Reiki master passes down the ability to send Reiki energy to a student. Once the Reiki student receives the attunement, he or she can then get to work using the Reiki healing energy.

There are different levels of Reiki. Though each Reiki master has the discretion how they want to organize their classes or attunements, they are generally broken down into Reiki I, Reiki II, and a Reiki Master Level attunement. You can get attuned online or in person.

Can healing Reiki energy create harm?

No. The beautiful Reiki healing energy is always, we repeat always, will only work for the highest good of all concerned. Now, you may not feel that the Reiki is working for your highest good if you cry when receiving it or feel bad, but trust us, it is.  Crying is a release, and the Reiki has allowed you to get that negative energy out of your body, to be replaced with an energy of your choice. So choose a positive one, eh?

What color is associated with Reiki healing energy?

Reiki is often associated with purple energy, which also just so happens to be the color of the Divine and Spirit. Makes sense. We like it, we like it.

How To Use Your Reiki Healing Training

Reiki Healing Training

 

Ways to Use Your Reiki Healing Training

The possibilities are virtually endless when it comes to using your Reiki healing training. You can use it to heal yourself, others, situations… etc. Let us count the ways…

1.      Use your Reiki healing training to heal yourself

Now, surely you learned that you can use your Reiki healing training to heal yourself. You are usually the first person you will practice your Reiki on! Who better? But remember, not only can you use your Reiki healing training to help you with any emotional, mental or physical suffering you are currently experiencing, you can also send Reiki to your past and future selves.  Time does not exist in the mind of Reiki. Hopefully someday soon it will cease to exist in ours as well? Maybe then we as a people will finally attain some peace of mind. But we digress…

2.      Use your Reiki healing therapy to heal others

Now by ‘others’, we mean other people (both alive and no longer with us),  animals, countries and this beautiful planet of ours. Animals in particular tend to enjoy Reiki healing energy very much. They don’t have the barriers and blockages to the energy that we people often do.

You can also send Reiki to people who have passed over and to entire an entire people of a country in need. And the Mother is also an entity in and of herself, going through the same transitions people are. So send her some love if you ever get the hankering! She sure needs it.

3.      Power up your food with healing Reiki energy

Since food contains energy, send your food some powerful healing Reiki energy before you eat it, why don’t you. You can put your hands over your meals in typical Reiki hand fashion, or you can hold the sides of your plate or dish if you want to be more discrete. Another option is to hold your hands under the table facing up and imbue your food with Reiki healing energy from below. Personally, we at Reiki Training Classes .org find that our favorite way to power up our food with Reiki is to hold one hand above the dish and the other below. You can literally feel the energy moving between your hands!

4.      Use Your Reiki Healing Training to Clear Rooms

At the Reiki Master Level, we teach our students that they have a responsibility to share the healing Reiki energy with the world. But even if you are not a Reiki Master (yet), you can still bring positivity to everything around you. Let’s say you have jury duty, and are stuck in a courthouse, a notorious place for negative and stagnant energy. You can power up the room with the Reiki power symbol, or merely send Reiki love and light to each and every room and person in the courthouse. You can clear the negativity from a post office, from your job, a supermarket, your car and home. Anywhere you are, you can turn your Reiki on.

5.      Turn Your Reiki Healing Training Into Your Profession

Now, we didn’t say it would be easy. Although most things worth having aren’t. Turning your Reiki healing training into a career will require persistence, determination and for you to be proactive. But you can do it. More and more hospitals are allowing Reiki Masters into surgical procedures and patient rooms. People are finally realizing the power of Reiki and that it really works.  Hey, we could’ve told you that…

So what are you waiting for? Get on out there and put your Reiki healing training to some good use!

How Does Reiki Healing Energy Work?

 How Reiki Healing Energy Works

Reiki Healing Energy

Reiki, or ‘spiritually-directed life force energy’, is an extremely powerful healing therapy and modality. So how does Reiki healing energy work? Well, we are alive because of the ‘ki’, or energy that flows inside us. That life-force energy literally moves through every cell and pathway of our bodies. (And we’re talking all your bodies, including  your spiritual body, your emotional body, your mental body… We are a Reiki website, after all!)

Since we are powerful beings who can co-create the experiences we have in our lives along with the Divine Spirit, Source, God/Goddess, what have you, we have the ability to change how this ki flows within us.  The vast majority of people do this unconsciously, and do not realize they are co-creating their lives along with Spirit. They don’t see that we can all block the ki running through our body by thinking negative thoughts, which then turn into negative emotions.  Since these negative emotions are energy, as is everything, they can get lodged in the body and cause suffering, disease and illness.

The Intelligence of Reiki Healing Energy

Reiki healing therapy allows the spiritually-directed life force energy to flow through the body. The healing Reiki energy is extremely intelligent, and does what it needs to do. Sometimes it will charge up the body with positive energy, other times it will help to break up any stagnant or blocked energies.  Whatever it clears away, it then fills with its loving energy.

Benefits of Reiki Healing Therapy

  • Detoxifying the body
  • Balancing one’s energy
  • Removing energetic blockages

How the Reiki Healing Energy Works

Since the Reiki healing energy is so wise, it knows where it needs to go to do its magic, be it to clear blockages, balance your systems or conduct some other type of healing. The Reiki practitioner doesn’t have to specify where the Reiki energy should go; it knows what to do! However, the Reiki practitioner and/or the recipient can still set an intention about where they would like the Reiki healing energy to go.

Say, for example, that a client comes in with a broken heart. You just finished your Reiki training class, and know that you want to focus on your client’s heart. You can stand at her heart, you can even do heart-healing symbols over it, but ultimately the Reiki healing energy will decide where to go. It may understand that it can best heal by moving to the client’s head and clearing their negative thoughts, giving them peace and relaxation to help their healing.

Reiki healing energy works because it is energy that is specifically directed by Spirit. And Spirit is pretty wise. We think you want it in your corner. So, while it is beneficial to set an intention for the Reiki energy, try to complete your sessions without expectations of what will happen. Reiki energy only works for the highest good of all concerned, so you will not have to worry about ‘doing’ something wrong. Truly, the Reiki healing energy is doing all the work anyway.

How Reiki Healing Courses Help You Heal Yourself

Heal Yourself with Reiki Healing Classes

Reiki Healing Classes

Chances are, you became interested in Reiki healing courses and classes because you’re a natural healer. That is what you came here to do. You want to help other people recognize the perfection that already exists within them.

However, an additional benefit to taking Reiki healing courses is that you will learn how to heal yourself in the process! Because, for better or worse, most healers are attracted to the profession because they have some healing of their own to do. Ever heard of the Wounded Healer? Perhaps by learning to heal yourself, you will have more compassion for your clients and can better know how to guide them and help them heal themselves.

But don’t feel bad if you have healing to do, every one of us here at Reiki Training Classes .org was (or is) in the same position. Guilty as charged! See it as an opportunity, a chance to better your life and do something you love (helping others) at the same time!

Here are a few ways Reiki healing courses can help you heal yourself:

1. You will work on others in your Reiki healing class

“Yes… but how does this help me heal myself?” you may be asking. Well, a common phrase abounds in the hallways of Reiki Training Classes .org. It is, “Give a treatment, get a treatment.” Since the Reiki energy is flowing through you, it will naturally help clear you out and heal you in the process. Pretty cool, huh? Yep, that intelligent healing Reiki energy definitely knows what it’s doing.

2. You will get attuned in your Reiki healing course

The Reiki attunements students receive in their Reiki healing courses always affect them differently. Some students feel energized and overwhelmingly happy, whereas others may want to race home and go to sleep or start to cry. Regardless of your reaction, each Reiki attunement you receive in your Reiki healing class will facilitate your own healing. Stuff will be brought to the surface for you to heal, process and then let go of. Though it isn’t a fun process (trust us, we know), once you let go of stagnant energy that no longer serves you, you will feel like a new person. Whatever processing you go through during your Reiki healing class or as a result of the attunement is worth it. And it, too, will pass. It will.

3. You will learn new symbols in your Reiki healing classes

Though the Reiki symbols vary according to the type of Reiki the Reiki healing class focuses on, you will inevitably learn different symbols for different purposes. For example, in the in-person Reiki training course we teach here in sunny Southern California, we teach the distance healing symbol in our level two Reiki healing class. We also teach the karma clearing symbol, which allows students to put the two symbols together and heal karma from their past that they probably weren’t aware of.

We encourage our students to get creative with the Reiki energy and use the symbols to heal themselves. After all, the best healers are those who have taken the time to heal themselves. Though you can separate yourself from your healing work, and Reiki energy can never be used for harm, you still want to be healed. Why not? You deserve it. Besides, you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you played a critical role in your healing process.

The ways that Reiki healing classes and courses can help you heal yourself are limitless. But we will leave the number at three. For one, three is the number of  creativity, and two, we want you to stop reading this article and start learning Reiki so you can heal yourself. Take good care now…
