THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SPIRITUAL-TIBETAN REIKI

AND WESTERN STYLE REIKI

SPIRITUAL ~ TIBETAN REIKI TEACHES: The Ancient Oriental based energy balancing technique.

Earth energy (mental, emotional and physical) is honored but not called upon during this process.

Simple to learn and is not dependent on any prior knowledge or training.

Reiki training is taught by a Spiritual Master and the knowledge is transferred by a process called an Attunement (the receiving of Reiki Empowerment), during a class. First Level, 4 classes, brings most of the basic Spiritual Reiki information, with an Attunement that seals in about 30% of the full Reiki empowerment. Second Level, 1 class, the Distant or Absentee Balancing Process is taught, the three Spiritual power symbols are taught and the remaining 70% empowerment is given. The Third~Fourth Attunement, 1 class with 1 year follow-up classes, is that of Spiritual Reiki Master~Teacher, which gives the knowledge and ability to teach others.

How to step aside from physical, emotional and mental energy (or busy-ness) and trust Divine Spirit of Wholeness.

How to open and close the ‘energy field’ of another.

How we call the Reiki vibration to ourselves or forward /channel it through us (to another) by calling upon and working with Dr. Usui and The Ascended Masters. Our mind, will power, and emotions have no part in this process. It is strictly (spiritual) energy and cannot be directed or manipulated in any way. We are just “Servers for The Highest Vibration of Wholeness”. Spiritual Humility & Gratitude!

What chakras are, where they are, what their purpose is and how to keep them balanced.

How to clear and balance one’s own aura through breath, grounding or centering. Being “IN THE MOMENT” is the key…..not letting the mind and emotions get your attention.

WESTERN or AMERICAN STYLE REIKI TEACHES: A mental, emotional and physically based balancing technique.

This practioner uses ‘self-energy’, which is mental, emotional and physical to serve others. They do not step aside from these Earth energies because this is what is called upon and given to another. (If a Reiki Practioner is attuned to Divine Wholeness, thoughts and emotions are not called upon, we are conduits bringing Divine Wholeness.)

If a practioner is stressed, anxious, depressed , worried or angry…THAT IS WHAT IS GIVEN TO ANOTHER….PERSON OR ANIMAL!!!!!! Many of this style practioner feel drained or tired after working on another. They have depleted their own energy field.

If symbols are drawn, ‘personal’ mental energy is the power behind that process.

Level 1 and II are often taught in one weekend classes, because it is reading and understanding material (a mental process), NOT Spiritual understanding and training.

MORE FAQ'S

What is Reiki?

Reiki is a natural balancing method that uses the hands of a healer to channel energy to another person through chakras or energy centers. It has been practiced for thousands of years. It was reintroduced in the 1800's by Mikao Usui in Japan after many years of researching the healing ministries of great healers including Jesus and the Buddha.

Reiki (literal translation - Universal Energy), as taught by Dr. Usui has a simple set of procedures to follow. They were passed down to each of the Reiki Masters who follow his teachings, together with a simple set of five Reiki ideals or precepts for daily living.

What is Meant by "Balancing"?

Balancing is the realignment of energy, sometimes called chi or prana, in the energy field of the client. It may be the spiritual, mental, emotional or physical level...the client's Highest Level knows!

It is important to note that SPIRITUAL~TIBETAN REIKI energy is not a mind power. It is spiritual in nature, and therefore cannot be directed or manipulated in any way. Reiki goes to the cause of the problem to allow balancing. Reiki works on the assumption that each of us knows more about what is necessary for our healing than anybody else. Thus, Reiki is totally complementary to other forms of balancing and healing as well as medication being taken.

What are the benefits of Reiki?

Reiki has been found to have a calming effect on the body. It can restore balance to the body. It supports the body's natural ability to heal itself.

Spiritual Reiki practitioners are not using "their personal energy" per se, but tap into Divine Universal Energy and therefore cannot become depleted or run down. Nor do we take on the "energy or imbalance" of another, human or animal. The mind~emotions of the practitioner should remain neutral.

The Divine Energy flows to the Reiki practitioner and to the Highest Level of the client receiving the Reiki. The energy then flows down to the mental level, emotional level and finally the physical level, in Divine Time and Divine Order. During this process the whole being balances itself using their own innate knowledge.

Can Reiki cure disease?

Reiki is not intended to be a cure. It does however improve the body's natural ability to balance itself. It should be reinforced that Reiki is not intended to replace your physician or other health care providers. Reiki providers DO NOT DIAGNOSE OR PRESCRIBE MEDICINE.

Who can receive Reiki energy?

Reiki can be given to all people, as well as animals and plants. It is not associated with an organized religion, therefore, it is open to all.

Reiki is benefitial at any age! Animals take Reiki very easily. Plants love Reiki...you can even give Reiki to seeds before planting.

Your body only absorbs the healing energy it needs. Therefore, you cannot receive too much Reiki energy. There is no limit to the number of Reiki sessions you may have. A customized plan can be discussed after the initial session if you wish.

How often can I receive Reiki?
Who is qualified to perform Reiki?

Spiritual Reiki practitioners are trained and initiated by Mikao Usui teaching. This type (spiritual based) Reiki is often called Usui Reiki. There are however, other styles of Reiki (Western style, mental, emotional and physically based) is one.

Anyone who has a Level I, II, or III Reiki degree may give Reiki in-person; Level II and III individuals may also send Reiki remotely (distant healing). Only Spiritual Reiki Masters may give attunements to others to allow them the capability to give Reiki.
