My personal experience says it to be true.

All the reiki pratitioners that i have come into contact starting from my initiation to this date, were, more or less somewhat reclusive in nature.

I myself was an outgoing person before i took the initiation. Reiki started a process of attitudinal and perception changes which till date i have not been able to fully comprehend.

Have you taken reiki attunements recently?

Reiki attunements makes your body a conduit for passing powerful energy.

Each reiki session, whether for self healing or for healing others, generates a lot of heat energy. As you continue passing reiki without taking sufficient water day in and day out, slowly your body begins to dry up and toxins begin to accumulate. Left unattended, the accumulated toxin can lead to other physical problems like sinusitis, migraine and in some cases anxiety strokes.

This follows from reiki power meditation where you learn to charge yourself with creative and healing energies of reiki.

Step 1: Visualize your goal as vividly as possible. Create a picture of your goal as already having accomplished. Surround the image with the four reiki symbols.

Do not worry if your mind gets distracted now and then. Observe and acknowldge the distractions and let them go. Bring back your focus to your visualization.

This meditation combines the power of transcendental meditation with the healing energies of reiki.

This meditation can induce physical relaxation, mental clarity, clairvoyance and consciousness expansion. You can also use it to solve problems, achieve goals and improve all areas of your life.

You can do this meditation any time of the day, whenever you have time (though for better results you should stick to a schedule).

Just like you have to tune into a frequency to receive a radio or tv channel, reiki attunements are a way of tuning into the channel of reiki energy.

It is believed that reiki energy is there all around us, but you can access this energy only after you are attuned to receive it.

Reiki attunements allows you to become a reiki practitioner.

Attunement process involves opening up the chakras in you, so that you become a 'channel' to receive and transmit reiki.

I am sure that all of you have experieced the sense of relaxation, comfort and mobility of your joints after having a good massage. Often we ourself massage an area of our body, that is causing us discomfort.

Reiki and massage are two different healing modalities, both in intention and in practice.

Reiki is a spiritual healing system. Reiki is intended to affect the energy fields or 'auras' around the human body.

Massage therapy deals with only physical healing. It is more of a 'manipulative system' for the physical body and is not directed at the auras.

Doshas are the manifestations of the elemental forces in human body. Ayurveda says that there are three kinds of Doshas (Tridosha) - Vata, Pitta and Kapha, and the imbalance(Vikruti) of these Doshas (or Dosas) is the root cause of most of our physical and mental problems.

Dominance of a Dosha determines body type or "Prakriti" of an individual.

As with any popular healing system, variants of original reiki system have developed over time.

Most of these new systems derive directly from original Usui reiki system with some additional 'attunements' and 'symbols' thrown in.

Yet, there are some other esoteric 'reiki' systems which are claimed by their founders as the original reiki system and sometimes as even better than the original!

Presented below are some of these 'new reiki systems'.

What are the reiki symbols?

The Reiki symbols are the keys that open doors to a higher self.

When a reiki master/practitioner draws, thinks about or visualizes a symbol it will instantly connect to the energy it represents.

The first reiki symbol is Cho Ku Rei

(Choku Rei is pronounced as "Cho-Koo-Ray") or power symbol. This symbol represents the body. This symbol is used to amplify reiki energy.
