Before you attend a class:
Please bring a journal to the class. Something nice and new – that you like writing in if you wish to signify a new beginning with a new journal. Reiki works in such a wonderful but gentle way that although it changes your life a day at a time, it’s a great idea to chart your progress and to begin with the class. Please also bring a bottle of water- it’s important to stay well hydrated throughout the day.
Fruit, herbal teas and fresh water will be available throughout the day. As energies shift, we tend to be really hungry – and thirsty!
In the original Reiki ideals, Dr. Usui says that Reiki is “The secret art of inviting happiness” and “The miraculous medicine of all diseases”. It is known as a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It was discovered by Dr. Mikao Usui in the early 1900’s. Reiki combines Rei or Spiritual Wisdom with Ki or Life Energy – with some amazing results. Reiki can never cause harm. It never depletes your energy. Anyone can learn it. And once you have been attuned, whether you choose to use it or not, it will be with you for the rest of your life.
Reiki is not taught in the way other healing techniques are taught. The ability is transferred to the student by the Reiki Master during a placement process. During the placement, the Rei or God Consciousness makes adjustments in the student’s chakras and energy pathways and links the student to the Reiki source. A placement is very powerful energetically, and from the moment you sign up for this class, your energy will start to shift and move toward this higher frequency. Sometimes, when this happens, the shift can be uncomfortable and we can even become physically ill prior to the class as the body begins to shift and shed illness and energy that it no longer needs so it can move to the higher, healing frequency. Please do your best to get to that first class anyway. You will find that the illness is short lived. And the Reiki class and placement experience are well worth it!
You can do a few things to help the placement go “deeper” into your consciousness if you wish. This is not necessary – but does facilitate a more powerful placement if you choose to observe the guidelines. Take 2-3 days prior to the class as a technology free time if possible. Refrain from computer and TV use and do not listen to the news or read the newspaper. If you can, eat whole foods and eliminate caffeine and alcohol too. And if you really want to detox prior to the weekend, Mrs. Takata (who brought Reiki to North America) has a juice blend she mixes up and drinks – with one 2” beet, 1 Tbsp watercress, 2 stalks of celery, 1 med. Carrot and 2 cups purified or spring water. If you have Reiki already – you can send Reiki into this mixture prior to chopping it at high speed in a blender. If not, send love and kind thoughts into the mixture. This blend is supposed to purify the blood and detoxify the liver, gallbladder and lungs – but caution should be used with it as it is a powerful detoxifier. My Reiki Master, William Lee Rand recommends drinking small amounts and waiting for an hour or more to see how your body responds to it. I drink this mixture occasionally – and it is powerful. I can generally only drink about 1/3 of the mixture per day.
I look forward to sharing the gift of Reiki with you!
