Introduction to Reiki: A Way of Life

Reiki has been a transformative, powerful healing tool for me. The mysteries in life are endless. There is so much to learn and discover. As human beings we can get stuck in the struggles of everyday life. The mundane can wear us down. However, as spiritual beings having a human experience we can look at life from a different perspective. We can learn to live a life of expectedness, as opposed to a life of apprehension or negativity. I have come to believe truly that what we think about creates our life. We are pulled towards our destinies through circumstances and synchronicities. Our job is to pay attention and take action when the timing feels right to us intuitively.

Reiki helps us all become clear channels of energy and light. The main focus of Reiki helps us become aware of and heal the imbalances in ourselves and our lives. One of the greatest challenges for a Reiki practitioner is to learn to view the world with compassion, clarity, and without judgment. It is my belief that when a person takes their Reiki One class they are taking the first step on a very long, joyful path. Instant enlightenment is not part of most of our paths. It is vital for our complete health to nurture and heal the multidimensional parts of ourselves.

The path of Reiki can help all of us do that. Reiki calls us to be authentic, whole human beings filled with integrity, love and light. Living life with integrity in all areas is vital for our total health. The laws of spirit never call for us to be dishonest, judgmental or harmful to another being. as Reiki practitioners we need to realize that every thought we have, and every action we take impacts the entire planet. We must learn to focus our attention and “Be Here Now”. Rituals like meditation, Reiki, and prayer empower us to experience the life we seek. This life does hold challenges and heartache, but it also has unbelievable beauty everywhere.

It is important to start thinking of yourself as an energy being along with your physical body. It is my belief that a Reiki practitioner’s path includes learning to develop peacefulness, unconditional love, gratitude, compassion, and happiness through an act of intention. I believe we live in a friendly, loving, Divine Universe. I also believe that we receive communication from this loving Universe all the time in the form of signs and symbols. Everything is connected. Carl Jung coined the term “synchronicity” to describe meaningful coincidences that conventional notions of time and causality cannot explain. In this book we explore synchronicity as part of the Reiki path. we are on the threshold of a revolution in consciousness and healing. We are all multidimensional, multisensory beings connected to each other at many levels. Travel with me along the winding, curvy road of mystics, saints, and sages.
