The Reiki Philosophy: Ki
Ki is understood to be the energy behind everything that is:
plants, animals, humans, air, rocks, water, sunlight, earth, and so on. Within
the Reiki philosophy, everything is believed to have its own kind of ki. While
ki is the basis of everything that we experience in life, it obviously
manifests in many varied and spectacular ways.
The Reiki Philosophy: Rei
Reiki is itself a specific type of ki. A fusion of two Japanese
concepts, Reiki is ki that
has been guided by rei. Rei is understood to be the higher
consciousness or higher mind. It is compassionate and intelligent, free of
negativity and filled with everything worthwhile and good. In modern English,
some might refer to the Japanese rei with
more familiarity as God, Holy Spirit, or God Consciousness.
The Reiki Philosophy: Reiki
As a Higher Energy that is believed to emanate directly from our
very Source, Reiki has an intelligence of its own and needs no guidance from
the Reiki practitioner. Though the word tends to hold some negative
connotations, it could be said that a good Reiki practitioner acts as a channel for the healing wisdom of Reiki
Energy.
The Reiki philosophy has most adequately described Reiki as
"the primal energy of the universe
being guided by the highest wisdom of the universe."
As an intelligent and benevolent force, it is absolutely
impossible for Reiki to be diluted by any form of negativity. It remains completely
unaffected by our conscious thinking mind. According to the Reiki philosophy,
it can literally only create
good. This is what makes Reiki such a powerful healing modality.
The Reiki Philosophy: Reiki is For Everyone
The power of Reiki is the power of a benevolent universe, the
very essence of our Source. As such, it can be learned and applied by anyone
who wishes to put it to use for his or her own benefit and for the benefit of
others.
It has traditionally been understood that Reiki can only be
introduced to an individual through a personal attunement by a certified Reiki
Master, but understanding Reiki to be what it is means that this powerful
healing energy is fully accessible to any who wish to experience it.
The decision to receive certified training as a Reiki
practitioner has traditionally been a very costly one, exclusive to those who
could afford it. Recognizing how this contradicts the Reiki philosophy,
however, and capitalizing on the advent of the internet and newer technology, a
pioneering few have determined to offer certified Reiki training for a fraction
of its traditional cost, making it an easy investment for the aspiring
practitioner.
Since this has been only a very preliminary introduction to The
Reiki Philosophy [http://healingintentionblog.com/the-essence-of-reiki-home-study-course-learn-from-home],
you may conclude that you'd like to know more. The
best way to learn Reiki is to experience it for yourself at minimum expense.
