Executive summary about reiki usui By Tamara Baruhovich
Let's start by explaining what an attunement is. The word
attunement comes from "in tune" and this refers to manipulating the
energy to fine-tune or bring into balance the patient's spirit, emotions,
feelings, mental processes, and physical body to create synchrony within and
oneness with Life Force as a whole.
This procedure may also help in the opening and expanding of the
patient's innate psychic abilities. Some advocates of Reiki emphasize that it
assists in clearing the concerns that tend to clog the spiritual, mental,
emotional, and physical bodies which are the cause of turmoil and disease.
Moreover, the attunement process brings about the healing energies from the
Life Force Energy into the being.
Although Life Force Energy is around us at all times, not every
person can easily access and absorb it into their system because if the chakras
are out of balance, the blocks prevent the energy to be absorbed and utilized
properly.
During the course of the attunement process, all of the
metaphysical and universal laws as well as the Law of Similarity and the Law of
Correspondence are called for. The Law of Similarity states that if a person,
object, event or condition bears any resemblance or similarity -like color,
shape, action, etc.- to those of the patient, it can be used for healing
purposes as if it were the person or condition itself. And the Law of
Correspondence states that every component of a system retains its own
characteristics but also takes on the characteristics of the system as a whole,
much like a holographic image in which each piece is composed of the total sum
of its parts.
These concepts are widely used in distant healing, for example,
a photo of the patient is similar to and corresponds to the patient himself.
Reiki and Psychic Ability - Clearing the Misconception
The name psychic attunement is often utilized to describe the
process when a Reiki student or patient is being harmonized with Reiki Energy.
It's important to make clear that while Reiki may awaken psychic abilities in
the receiver, the Reiki Energy, the attunement itself or Reiki practice as a
whole is not in any way a psychic phenomena since the practitioner does not
make use of his mind's power in the treatment session. Simply put, Reiki is
often compared to ESP, telepathy, and mind reading, but it is something quite
different in concept and execution.
The term 'psychic' tends to be associated to horoscopes,
divination, future tellers, and even the obscure, but this association doesn't
reflect the truth. The word psychic comes from a Greek root that means
"the mind of the soul." It basically refers to the perception of
information without the use of the readily available and well known five
senses. In this sense, we are all psychic, even though some of us may have our
psychic sense more or less developed than others.
On the other hand, Reiki is the word used in describing the Life
Force Energy that encompasses every living creature. "Life force" may
exist through different terms and names in various cultures and countries but
the entire concept remains the same: it's the energy that encompasses all.
Thus, the practitioners of Reiki are not in any way psychic, so
to say. They are people who have gone through rigorous training in expanding
their knowledge about life and Life Force Energy in general. They have also
learned how the human physical body works from the physiological standpoint, as
well as how it responds to the energy around.
Therefore, even though people refer to Reiki treatment as Reiki
psychic attunement, it is important to understand that it does not fall under
the category called psychic phenomena. During an attunement session, the healer
senses the illness or pain when they feel warmth or vibration over one area of
the patient's body while they touch or pass their hands over it. Through the
attunement they can readily channel Life Force Energy to the ill area to aid in
the balance of energy of that particular region, organ or system.
This in turn brings about healing. All the energy channeling is
done just with the use of their bare hands, and no psychic phenomena takes
place.
