Where can I find out more about Reiki? General Warning ==================== What is the newsgroup alt.healing.reiki (AHR)? AHR is a newsgroup for the discussion of Reiki and Reiki related topics. As with most alt hierarchy newsgroups a lot of the threads are off-topic and this is not frowned upon in AHR, indeed it is often welcomed. However, most advertising is strongly discouraged, neither does this group carry binaries. It often helps if one has a sense of humour in AHR. Despite the fact that it is a global community, most of whose participants have never seen each other face to face, there is most always a friendly, family feeling to this newsgroup. Abbreviations common in AHR. There are, of course, many abbreviations used in AHR which are common to Usenet and the Internet and I don't propose to detail these here unless there is call for them. The most common AHR specific acronyms are "ROTW" and "OTW" which stand for "(Reiki) On The Way" and tend to follow a request for Reiki. R1 = Reiki I (using Roman numerals) = Reiki level one R2 = Reiki II R3 = Reiki III RM = Reiki Master, which is synonymous with R3 in most instances. RMT = Reiki Master Teacher, which in many schools is synonymous with RM and R3. CKR, DKM, HSZSN, SHK are all acronyms for various Reiki symbols. SKHM (pronounced like "SEK-hem") is not so much an abbreviation as a name for another system of healing often found in association with Reiki. It is a divergent school of what was once and still is called Seichim. What is Reiki? Reiki is a natural healing modality generally, but not exclusively, involving the manual (hand) contact by the practitioner on the recipient. The term Reiki also refers to the energy transferred by this process. The process of Reiki is likened unto "laying on of hands" and "spiritual healing" and "therapeutic touch" and as such is widely considered to be a metaphysical phoenomenon. It is said to be beneficial for the body and/or mind and/or spirit. Where does it come from? The history of Reiki will be briefly discussed elsewhere in this FAQ under the question "Who was Mikao Usui?" As for where the Reiki energy itself comes from is indeterminate and a matter for speculation. For those who profess belief in a deity it is said to come from that deity (e.g., God/dess, Wakan Tanka, the Great Maker) some say it is a background energy field that the Reiki practitioner taps into, others that it is channelled through them by "spirit guides". Reiki flows through the practitioner but is neither generated by the practitioner nor depletes the Reiki practitioners own energy supplies. (The source of Reiki makes for an interesting epistemological and ontological argument, since the source is widely regarded as metaphysical, hence, beyond science and so unable to be proved except by speculative methodology.) What does Reiki do? Purportedly Reiki can help alleviate suffering whether it be of a physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, &c. nature. This is to say, Reiki can heal you. However, this statement does not constitute a guarantee or a promise that you will be relieved of any ailment whatsoever with either a single or multiple Reiki treatments. The nature of Reiki is such that it could have no obvious effects upon you whatsoever. An underlying principle of Reiki is that it can do no harm and cannot be used for any nefarious purpose. How do I get Reiki? To get Reiki either means to receive a series of Reiki treatments (series here could mean only a single session) or to learn to practise Reiki. To receive Reiki treatments, locate a Reiki practitioner in your area and arrange a session. To learn to practise Reiki a series of attunements from a Reiki Master is required. Requests for Reiki to be sent. Reiki can work at a distance and it is not uncommon for posts to appear in this newsgroup which request Reiki to be sent. It is the practise of many in AHR that in order to send they need to know the name and location (generally meaning city and country) of a person before sending Reiki. Also, it is considered ethical to either request Reiki only for yourself or to have the permission of the person you are asking for. Obviously, there are few who object to parents asking for their children, people asking for their pets, or requests for people who are unable to themselves respond (such as when comatose). Also, a number of people in AHR maintain healing lists. Rather than include such details here, I would recommend posting to the group to find out particulars. The acronym PLANK may help you in your requests: Permission Location Ailment Name Kindness You smegs, I posted a request but no one answered. Really? What you should write is, "Dear friends, I posted a request for Reiki but have seen no replies yet." Remember that this is Usenet. People might send Reiki without sending a reply post, or people might not read your request for several days due to propagation delays, or they might never see it. A lack of any reply is not indicative of us being rude. This is the prime reason I include a K for Kindness in PLANK. You'll catch more flies with honey than you will with vinegar. (Why you'd want to be catching flies in the first place is anyone's guess.) Also, we are not under any obligation to send Reiki simply because you post a request. I do not know of anyone here who exists solely to read and post in AHR, we have lives outside of Usenet. You may feel desperate, but that is no reason to be rude because you don't see any posted replies. Capiche? What is a Reiki attunement? This is the process whereby the RM passes on to the initiate the ability to channel the Reiki energy. Without such an attunement whatever healing modality is practised is not Reiki. Normally an attunement comes with instruction in the various techniques involved in practising Reiki. However, nowadays this need not be the case, especially with reputed "distance attunements". I'm told I've been attuned, but I don't feel I can do Reiki. As a RM I'm competent in the attunement process. Assuming I don't screw that up (and I never have), when I go to pass an attunement to you, you are attuned. If you are attuned, you can do Reiki. You can doubt it all you wish, but the attunement has taken place. Further, the attunement never wears off. Once you are attuned you are attuned for life; there are no such things as a "temporary attunement". Many people post to AHR with this or similar doubts and if you wish for more clarification, you have only to post on it. What are Reiki levels? There are three (or more) levels of training in Reiki, each level requiring an attunement/set of attunements. A level is simply a degree of initiation, that delineates the techniques and symbols taught. As one progresses through the levels there can be a distinct and noticeable difference in the effects/sensations of both the practitioner and the patient. There is little substance to the claim that a level III practitioner will provide better treatments than a level I practitioner. Reiki I is Reiki level one, the first level. Reiki II is Reiki level two. Reiki Master is the third level. (It might also be referred to as Reiki III.) In traditional schools this is the highest level. At this level one is taught how to and is permitted to pass on attunements. In four-level systems, the R3 level is split into a Reiki Master level, and a Reiki Teacher or Reiki Master/Teacher level. One is attuned to the energy atlevel III but one is not permitted to pass attunements until being accredited as being of the fourth level. It has been said this splitting of R3 into two levels of its own is done for no readily apparent reason other than to make money, though one person has informed me his Reiki Master has split the level to allow one to "integrate" Reiki before teaching it. Other divergent systems may have seven or more levels. What is a Reiki Master (RM)? A RM is one who has been attuned to the R3 level and who is permitted to pass on attunments. (As noted, in some Reiki systems there is a Master level distinct from the Teacher or Master/Teacher level.) It doesn't mean anything more than this. Being a RM is not a sign or guarantee of a person's moral fibre, upstanding behaviour, or any form of emotional or spiritual development, and it does not confer with it temporal authority. Reiki Masters are as human as the next person (providing the next person is also a human). What is a Reiki system? How many systems are there? There are more systems than I care to enumerate and they are sometimes little more than a chance for one-up-man-ship by saying "mine is better". They all are based on the same Reiki energy (since there is only one Reiki energy). They differ in the name (which is often trademarked), in the symbols used, in the attunement process (both of these normally being jealously guarded secrets) and in the details such as the hand positions used in treatments. All systems ultimately derive from the system originally introduced by Mikao Usui. I wouldn't consider them to be improvements on the original, only different, sometimes actually detracting through the inclusion of needless ritual and elaboration. "What Reiki is not" has a little to say on ritual. Who was Mikao Usui? Mikao Usui was a Japanese gentleman who is said to have searched long and hard for the method of healing used by the Buddha Gautama. After twenty-one days of fasting on a sacred Buddhist mountain he became suddenly aware of Reiki. He went on to practise Reiki and initiate people into the Reiki system. All genuine Reiki practitioners can directly trace their lineage (of attunement) to Mikao Usui. There are those who claim to practise Reiki without attunements by a Reiki Master (or without a living Reiki Master), to those people I can only ask what it is like to be a living prophet. In other words, I don't believe they are practising Reiki. What can I post to alt.healing.reiki? As noted, we're pretty relaxed about such matters. For the most part we do keep the posts on-topic, which means the post should be about Reiki in someway. Such topics could include: Requests for Reiki, for yourself or others. Advice on how to send distant Reiki. Articles on Reiki in the news media. Location of Reiki practitioners or teachers. Questions about the ethics of sending Reiki to people who haven't given permission (comments about which I might include in this FAQ at a later date). Stories about how wonderful Reiki appeared to be one time in your experience. Advertising of Reiki classes. How would I go about giving Reiki for ? Other subjects covered in Reiki tend to include medicine, religion, spirituality, philosophy, meditation, spiritual healing, herbalism, crystals, and a good deal of humour (which does not mean spam AHR with jokes you've received via e-mail). A lot of the time these posts may actually be "Reiki and ". There are newsgroups for these other subjects and posts which don't include Reiki should be posted only to those newsgroups. What oughtn't I to post in AHR? Anything that isn't directly related to Reiki. Especially not advertising of a non-Reiki nature. We'll probably ignore it unless we want to make fun of something. Since many of us are very intelligent people, we don't need to see the same article posted more than once a fortnight *at most*, especially as the article will probably still be our newsservers. In other words, refrain from posting advertisements and/or spam to AHR. Also, do not post binary files. This is not a binary newsgroup. Posting binaries may annoy your Internet provider. Also, a lot of the contributors here in AHR are learned and eloquent people. We tend to be tolerant people though sometimes an attempt to show off one's impressive knowledge in any subject area may well only show the extent of the one's ignorance. With any luck, one would learn something. Though it's a courtesy that isn't always followed, it is nice to put a [OT] tag at the start of your subject line if you're posting "off-topic" (ie, not about Reiki). What are the Reiki symbols? The Reiki symbols are pictorial/written symbols that are used in the attunement processes and in the healing processes. They are said to be based upon or even identical with written symbols used in certain Buddhist practices. There are those who consider the symbols to be secret and who will not pass them on except to students of the appropriate levels. There are others who term them "sacred" and who will let others see them without being attuned. Many of these people cite that seeing the symbols confers no advantage if one does not know how to use them, and they can do no harm anyway. The sacred/secret debate arises from time to time in AHR. I do not propose to give specific details about individual symbols as they will be made available to you if you are attuned. What Reiki is not. Over the years many things have crept into Reiki that were not there originally. Many are of questionable or even negative value, but may be taught by some as being an essential part of Reiki practise. The following are not a part of Reiki: Crystals, spirit guides, prayers to gods/goddesses, attunements in the nude, segregation of attunement practises based on gender (only different levels have slightly differing attunement processes), chanting, lighting candles, what is erroneously called "psychic surgery" (more accurately termed etheric release), magickal ritual, aura cleansing, and others. This next quote (punctuation amended for my gratification) sums up nicely some misconceptions about Reiki: "I can always tell who has read Stein's book when they come to my Reiki I classes. They are the ones who think that Reiki is about Tibetan Buddhist Space Alien Wiccans, who insert crystals in their vaginas for Christ." Also, Reiki is not massage. Whilst it may and generally does involve physical contact between practitioner and recipient, it is not a practice based on physical manipulation of the body. It is rare for practitioners to move their hands whilst in contact with the recipients body. I will also add here that Reiki is not a substitute for qualified medical assistance. As mentioned at the start of this FAQ, seek professional medical advice on medical matters. What is Seichim and where did it come from? That's a big can of worms, and I don't feel like opening it now, but I'm reserving space for it. Suffice it to say that Seichim is, as mentioned, a system of healing and is often found in conjunction with Reiki. For instance, I am a Reiki and Seichim Master, as was the person who attuned me to both. Reiki and money. There are two schools of thought on charging money for Reiki: "yes" and "no". To further explore this subject, there are those, who like myself, have never charged for Reiki, either for sessions or for attunements. In my case, it's not because I would never dream of it (though I don't recall dreaming of it, however, I have had some interesting dreams of late) but because it's something I do in my free time when I'm not working and while the money would be nice, I would feel I had to set up a special little space for paying clients. Other people are inclined to invoke the magickal "energy for energy" principle and say that money is but a form of energy, though there are other forms of energy that can be used to repay the Reiki practitioner. Others claim that if one does not pay for Reiki that one doesn't value it, citing the venerable Takata saying that Reiki needs to be valued and "Westerners" tend to value money. Some feel it would be a travesty to charge money (or anything) for Reiki and accordingly give sessions and attunements for free. Many from all the above say that it would be wrong to turn away someone who didn't have money with which to pay for Reiki sessions. As someone who holds to the doctrine of karma/reincarnation/grace, I would tend to argue that I don't know that in giving Reiki I am not repaying someone to whom I already myself indebted. I have further argued that healing comes from within, so when sending Reiki I'm not actually doing anything beneficial for anyone else, since they must heal themselves but are instead relying on me, but may actually be interfering with their spiritual growth. To which there is a counterargument that all are manifestations (or, All is a manifestation) of the divine so there is no "me" and "them". Reiki ethics. Charging for Reiki is an ethical choice that has been already covered. Whilst there are many things I can include in this section I choose to focus on this for now: Permission. The following was posted to AHR, Tuesday, 5 December, 2000, under the subject "Re: Permissions": Let's be realistic. How can you ask a person's higher self, if you can't talk to your own yet. And *if* you can talk to your own higher self, then you will have no questions to ask. We live in an age, where communication is possible. There are phones, letters, e-mail and a bus to the other side of town. Of course you can't talk to a baby or a person in coma. In those cases sending Reiki unasked will be *your* responsibility and *your* karma. In any other case ask, or leave it be and don't let your esoteric-eager-ego get the better of you. I have yet to meet the person, whose "higher self" didn't say, "Why yes of course, you dear and angelic person........" when the client in question sat right in front of them and said: "Thank you, but no thank you." The first thing a Reiki Practitioner must acquire is RESPECT for a client. A "no" is a "no". And if you don't have the guts to ask and receive an honest "yes" or a "no", then you have no business being a Reiki Practitioner except to treat yourself. Even if a person thinks, he knows, what is best for another, still doesn't give him the right to interfere. And woe to person who gives me the "should I let my baby play with guns?" routine, grrrrrrrrrr......... we are talking of Reiki Ethics, nothing else. Since Reiki is a hands-on technique, my instructors have taught me that I should ask permission to touch my recipient before actually doing so, though in asking for a Reiki session this permission is implied. However, it would be grossly improper and unethical for one to be touched on certain areas of one's body. Naturally, permissible areas of contact vary from culture to culture so a certain cultural sensitivity is required. I may, at a later date, call in question the ethics of people who call non-Reiki things Reiki, and those who insist that Reiki attunements must be done in the nude or they're not effective (absolute rubbish!) but I'm hoping you, the reader, will have picked up on that elsewhere. Where can I find out more about Reiki? Read a book on Reiki, visit a website, talk with someone who knows about Reiki, or from the newsgroup alt.healing.reiki. Currently no one has forwarded me any URL pointers they wish to have included so a websearch is in order if you should wish to find a Reiki site.
