Self-healing with Usui Reiki

SELF HEALING WITH USUI REIKI

Dr Usui had a vision that Reiki would spread throughout humanity to heal the planet and indeed since the 80’s it has spread rapidly and nowadays is practised in most countries throughout the world. Healing makes us whole again and a touch from Reiki hands breaks down barriers and makes a person to person connection facilitating healing transformation. Reiki promotes greater spiritual awareness and the ability to transcend the mundane and consequently, by reaching out to others, spreading love and light the Reiki practitioner builds ethereal bridges creating a ripple effect throughout humanity to restore equilibrium.

Nevertheless, healing begins with you and as a practitioner it is important not to neglect your own self-healing. We are all connected to the Divine yet it is very easy to feel isolated and separated from the whole. Things often go wrong in our lives. We may become ill, lose our job; lose our partner…These things happen to us all but slipping into negativity only compounds our feelings of isolation. Nothing is more certain in life than change and while we are feeling unhappy, sad, depressed or ill today it is guaranteed that by tomorrow our feelings will be different and by practising self-healing we are connecting with our inner awareness, our inner core, our connection with the Divine, all that is. In fact, without self-healing it is difficult to reach out to others with a pure heart and therefore requires a commitment on the part of the Reiki practitioner for this practice.

To heal others the Reiki practitioner only has to trust that healing will take place. There is nothing to be done. The Reiki healer is just a channel for the Reiki energy and by eliminating the ego you are allowing the energy to flow freely through you. Healing is not a mental exercise. It cannot be understood with the intellect therefore you need to discard logic and just accept it. All healing comes from God and according to the mystic Osho, if you understand the mechanics of healing you not only help the recipient to become whole again you also empower him by making him aware of the source of healing so that he/she is prevented for becoming ill again in the future.

As a Reiki channel the Reiki flows through you, rather than from you, into every living thing and this includes you. Therefore by practising regular self-healing and connecting with Divine intelligence you can heal your past, present and future. With Reiki time has no meaning and all time is now. Remember healing begins with you...
