Just say Hello….To the Other…
If you are working with energy, and if you treat another person with reiki, it is necessary and proper to work in a safe, sound and confidential way with the other.
The energetic system of another person is very private, so it needs our respect and attention when we are allowed and given access to it 😉 I think the best word we can use is: we ask for permission, to work in someones system.
>> If this accordance is NOT given, it is NOT allowed to give Reiki Treatment. Even if you think it might be a good idea to… <<<
Example: “A mother once asked If I could give her 13 year old daughter treatment for a broken arm, but please in a way that the daughter wouldn’t know.” This is unethical form the Reiki Perspective. So I answered her: it is only possible if the daughter gives permission.
So how do you find out, if some-one is ready on a Soul Level for treatment?
Yo know it the moment you now how to say ‘Hello’
Hello as a exercise.
Sit opposite the other person. Say the name, full or let the other say the name. Listen to it. Think / feel about how this person would like to be reached. Is this person a ‘Big Hug’ kind of person? Is it someone who loves music? So you can whistle or sing a song? Is the person more of the subtle kind, you send a beautiful postcard as a message? Can you just make a call: Ha! Hello?
Use your imagination and intuition. There is no right or wrong in these type of exercises. Wait until you clearly feel / see / taste etc that there’s a connection.
It is possible, that some-one is like in a Sleeping Beauty Mode. Give him or her the time to awaken. You are working in a field far beyond our four dimensions as known by physics 😉
Chakra’s & Reiki – what is the connection?
The chakra system and Reiki do have a very fertile cooperation. Reiki is a energy system and the Chakra’s give a wonderful opportunity to work on a symbolic, mental, physical and emotional level. The framework of chakra’s tells us how energy works on several levels in your mind and body. It helps you to understand your own psychological programming and conditioning. It is very helpful to crack patterns and manners you’ve gained by the years, which you maybe are ready to let go by now.
Self-realisation and chakra’s go together very well. Anodea Judith wrote a incredible precise, wonderful and wise handboek chakrapsychologie. This very sound book, talks about all energy systems and psychological insights of the last century. The Western and Eastern insights come together, and what is more: also the knowledge about the Mind, Soul and Psyche. It covers as well the development of the human – from small child to grown up. All sorted and explained by Chakra – really a wonderful – like an encyclopedia – book!
What I want you to know for here and now is this.
What is a chakra? >
A energetic centre where al memories and emotions are archived. This is not at random, the way it works is very organised. There are 7 Main-Chakra’s, very often shown as a rainbow coloured dotted system in/ on the body. In theory, it takes until you are about 35 years old, to grow and live them all to the max. Life is – oh happy us – full of surprises and challenges to make us suffer and experience on a soul level and so we will – even before we are 35.
It depends on your age, the circumstances and the surroundings where you are in, to experience life and FEEL. Are the emotions attached to these experiences Big? Small? Heavy? Undermining? Paralysing? Happy? Blissful?
These forming emotions are stored in your energetic chakrasystem. And they stay there, and if a experience was very painful, it is quite possible, you will avoid the same experience. And you will react differently as you did the first time.
After a while it is even possible that your mind will go in “I don’t want to feel this right now mode” goes. It means, it will block or make a feeling mental. We call this an emotional block. And you can find it in your chakra’s thats where they’re energetically stored.
It is possible, a experience has been so damaging, fearful or terrible, that it is even blocked as in a trauma: you keep and put it away – very far – so it will never hurt you again.
Dependent of the depth of the psychological trauma, your reaction will be influenced. It is possible you start to learn to avoid emotions, or you replace them with others, or you ‘mentalise’ them.
But: not only brains and minds are clever. So is the soul. If in your soul lies a capacity and a wish to learn a new experience on a emotional level, it will seek in life the opportunity to learn it. This is why very often patterns are visible in someones biography. Think of the french saying: ‘l’Histoire se repete’ – all possibilities for experience come by again untill it is learned…
So: Chakra’s are a wonderful way and make a wonderful system to understand on a emotional level what is happening when Reiki starts to heal and re-connect the Body, Mind and Soul. And these are also the three levels where Reiki is felt and will work.
Examples:
# In a session, you feel the diaphragm wants to give energy instead of feeling energy going in. You put out Energy, you release the Solar Plexus.
# During giving Reiki, I feel a dark, heavy energy on the Throat Chakra. I clean the Chakra, I open up this channel. What do I see: bank full of small children – inner children – smiling and loughing. And now its time they’re heard.
# In a session, I feel a disbalance in the Chakra system. The second, orange Chakra is way to far open in line with the others. I start massaging an putting it back in place. The alinement works.
The full and complete classic Reiki Treatement – Client is laying down on a massage table…
When you start to treat someone – I always keep this form. And I want you to learn it by heart and work in the same way.
- Be Clean. Go to the restroom, brush your teeth, wash your hands, make sure your fresh and fruity 😉
- Make your client very comfortable. Work with cushions and blankets, untill the other lays very very nice and comfy.
- Go behind the client, say energetically Hello and wait untill you may start. Then you ask: ‘May I receive for [Full Name Client] Reiki. ‘
- You start after approval energetically by touching very light and nice the hair on the head.
- Then you can start the actual treatment. Work in a steady, calm and rhythmical way.
- check in between if the client has received ‘enough’. You can use several visuals.
- Work up front, then let the client turn around, and then do the backside.
- If your treatment is ready, say Namaste, or a sound or word which expresses the same.
- Paint the aura. Use a big Zig-Zag – I will show it to you – and work precise and calm. You make the client come back in a calm way.
- Invite the Client Energetically to come back. It is nice to do so by touching the feet of the client.
- When you are ready, you drink a glas of pure water, and so your client does. Wash your hands again.
- Say thank you and make sure everything is handled carefully: payment ,new appointment etc.
