Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to Psychic Teachers. I'm your host, Samantha
Speaker 1: fay Dev is on vacation, but she'll be back with
Speaker 1: us soon. Today we're going to dive into reiki. A
Speaker 1: lot of you have emailed throughout the years and asked
Speaker 1: me to do a show just on reiki, what it is,
Speaker 1: how we can use it, and how it can help
Speaker 1: expand and enhance our life. I had no idea what
Speaker 1: reiki was back in two thousand and five. I had
Speaker 1: never even heard of it. And then one Saturday afternoon,
Speaker 1: I was visiting a metaphysical show looking for crystals when
Speaker 1: a woman came up to me and said, my guides
Speaker 1: have a message. Can I pass it on to you?
Speaker 1: And I said, of course, please share. I remember she
Speaker 1: smiled and said, you're a healer. To keep saying the
Speaker 1: word reiki, well, I thought she was trying to sell
Speaker 1: me some magical crystal or some healing water, but she
Speaker 1: just laughed and said, no, I'm here selling jewelry. Sometimes
Speaker 1: I get messages and pass them on. I think you're
Speaker 1: supposed to look into reiki check it out. When I
Speaker 1: returned home, I did just that, and I learned that
Speaker 1: reiki is a Japanese word, which means universal light, and
Speaker 1: that it's a form of hands on healing. It's a
Speaker 1: twenty five hundred year old healing technique that was rediscovered,
Speaker 1: like doctor Issuey. The next day, my family and I
Speaker 1: went to Barnes and Noble after church, and I remember
Speaker 1: I found a magazine on reiki and picked out a
Speaker 1: few books so I could learn some more. I read
Speaker 1: that a reiki attumant connects you with universal life force
Speaker 1: energy and activates your ability to heal. When you use reiki,
Speaker 1: you're not using your own energy, You're simply allowing the
Speaker 1: universal life force to flow through you. I discovered that
Speaker 1: reiki quote heals the cause and eliminates the effects. This
Speaker 1: intrigued me, even though it seemed like a tall order.
Speaker 1: How could put in your hands on someone do all that?
Speaker 1: So then I began searching for a teacher. There was
Speaker 1: an instructor teaching a class the following month, but she
Speaker 1: was almost three hours away. Later that week, I wandered
Speaker 1: into our local metaphysical store looking for Blue lay Sagat.
Speaker 1: The owner recognized me because I'd started coming in fairly frequently,
Speaker 1: because well, you know, I just started diving into crystals
Speaker 1: as well, and was becoming kind of addicted to shopping
Speaker 1: for these stones. We chatted as she rang up my
Speaker 1: order and I asked her if she knew anyone who
Speaker 1: taught reiki, and she said, yeah, me, I have a
Speaker 1: class starting next weekend. I was shocked. I said, you do.
Speaker 1: I've been googling and searching and couldn't find any local classes.
Speaker 1: Annie just smiled and said, yeah, I'm not so great
Speaker 1: with advertising. I prefer my students to find me. I
Speaker 1: signed up for the reiki class and was so excited
Speaker 1: and nervous for the weekend to hurry up and get here.
Speaker 1: There were six of us in that class. All of
Speaker 1: us were brand new beginners, which put me at ease
Speaker 1: right away. Annie taught us that reiki last forever. Once
Speaker 1: a tuned, you're always attuned. She said. It's healing energy.
Speaker 1: Can be used on plants, animals, children, yourself, crystals, memories,
Speaker 1: even past events. I loved that she called reiki a
Speaker 1: first aid kit in your hands. She would always say
Speaker 1: hands on, reiki on, hands off, Reiki off. I loved
Speaker 1: the idea that once we were attuned, we had this
Speaker 1: extra connection to the other side, to the universal flow.
Speaker 1: Of healing energy. I was super intrigued. I remember she
Speaker 1: began the class by telling us what reiki was not.
Speaker 1: She said, it is not a belief system, it is
Speaker 1: not a religion, it's not hypnosis, and it's not psychic healing.
Speaker 1: She said reiki is heart center and called it meditation
Speaker 1: and action. So as I just mentioned, reiki last forever.
Speaker 1: Once a tuned, the energy is with you and within
Speaker 1: you forever. But like anything, you have to use it
Speaker 1: in order for it to work. Reiki is like radio waves.
Speaker 1: It's always there, but you have to turn it on,
Speaker 1: tune into it, and tap into it. Reiki always works.
Speaker 1: An example I like to give my reiki students is
Speaker 1: to picture a road littered with potholes. If you gave
Speaker 1: that old road reiki, the energy would pour over the
Speaker 1: road and just fill in the potholes. It's intentional energy.
Speaker 1: It always knows where to go and what to do.
Speaker 1: And in this way, reiki kind of reminds me of mediumship.
Speaker 1: I'm at my best when I remove myself from the
Speaker 1: reading and just act like a delivery driver, allowing the
Speaker 1: messages to flow through me. It's the same with reiki.
Speaker 1: Someone might come in for a reiki treatment looking to
Speaker 1: heal shoulder pain, only to walk out feeling as though
Speaker 1: they released a painful childhood memory. Reiki always works, and
Speaker 1: it works in ways that we don't always control. And
Speaker 1: I think that's the beautiful thing about it. When you
Speaker 1: are a tune to reiki and you start to pass
Speaker 1: it on, you don't really know how or who or
Speaker 1: in what ways it's going to help. You're simply the conduit.
Speaker 1: I like to call reiki the Roto, ruter, or Dreno
Speaker 1: of healing modalities because it works to cleanse and remove
Speaker 1: energy blocks. Reiki is a fantastic tool for any energy
Speaker 1: worker or healer because it protects the healer from taking
Speaker 1: on the client's stuff. So, if you work in the
Speaker 1: medical field, a chiropractor, acupuncturist, if you are a massage therapist,
Speaker 1: any type of healing modality, learning and becoming a tuned
Speaker 1: to reiki is a great additional add on to your
Speaker 1: practice because it protects you from taking on the client's energy.
Speaker 1: It helps reduce stress, it brings more balance into your life,
Speaker 1: and it helps to cleanse the chakra system. So in
Speaker 1: that class, after learning what reiki was and was not,
Speaker 1: our teacher Annie Miller told us the legend of doctor Usui,
Speaker 1: who's credited with rediscovering reiki. Many reki practitioners have said,
Speaker 1: this story I'm about to tell you is just that
Speaker 1: a legend, a myth, a story. But I think we
Speaker 1: can always learn from stories, so I'm going to share
Speaker 1: it with you, just as I learned it. Doctor Usui
Speaker 1: was working at a Christian school in Kyoto, Japan. He
Speaker 1: enjoyed teaching the children, but one thing bothered him. He
Speaker 1: couldn't understand how Jesus performed the healings in the Bible stories.
Speaker 1: He was a really smart man, and he wanted to
Speaker 1: understand exactly what he was teaching these children. So he
Speaker 1: set off to discover an answer to this age old mystery. First,
Speaker 1: he taught himself Sanskrit. You know, like you do, you
Speaker 1: just take a leave of absence from your job and
Speaker 1: you learn an ancient languge which clearly he was a
Speaker 1: pretty smart guer. So he learned Sanskrit, and he begins
Speaker 1: to learn the Sanskrit sutras or holy writings to find
Speaker 1: a precise formula for healing. But he didn't know how
Speaker 1: to activate these healing formulas to make them work. Doctor
Speaker 1: Issue was growing frustrated. Eventually, he took twenty one stones
Speaker 1: and traveled up Mount Karama by himself to meditate alone.
Speaker 1: He sat on top of that mountain for twenty one days, fasting, meditating,
Speaker 1: and praying. Each morning he'd wake up, say a prayer,
Speaker 1: read a sutra, and toss the stone off the mountain
Speaker 1: to help him mark the passing days. On the last morning,
Speaker 1: after nothing had happened for those three weeks of fasting
Speaker 1: and meditating and praying, doctor Issue called out, my Father,
Speaker 1: my God, I pray you will show me the light.
Speaker 1: Suddenly he saw a beam of light. As he stood
Speaker 1: up to stare at this light, he saw it was
Speaker 1: coming closer to him. His first instinct was to run
Speaker 1: from it, but then he thought of all he'd done
Speaker 1: to prepare for this very moment, so he stood gravely
Speaker 1: and faced the light. Suddenly, this beam of light hid
Speaker 1: him in his forehead, knocking him down. He saw millions
Speaker 1: of bubbles in every color. Each bubble explained a sutrac
Speaker 1: to him. Doctor USOUI understood healing energy now and how
Speaker 1: it worked. He was overjoyed and began clamoring quickly down
Speaker 1: the mountain. He was surprised that, even though he'd been
Speaker 1: atop this mountain for twenty one days, he wasn't weak
Speaker 1: or tired. As he hurried down the mountain, he stubbed
Speaker 1: his toe on a rock and cut it open. He
Speaker 1: placed his hands on his throbbing toe and was surprised
Speaker 1: to see the bleeding stopped and the pain went away.
Speaker 1: As he finished his descent down the mountain, he met
Speaker 1: a young woman with the toothache and placed his hands
Speaker 1: on her jaw. Instantly the toothache disappeared. She was so
Speaker 1: grateful that she invited him inside her family's home to
Speaker 1: eat a meal. Doctor Usui was ravished and thrilled to
Speaker 1: discover he could eat a hearty meal after such a
Speaker 1: long fast without any ill effects. Soon word went around
Speaker 1: the small village and doctor Usui was called upon to
Speaker 1: heal the bishop's arthritis. He was so filled with gratitude
Speaker 1: and joy over his newfound healing abilities that he rushed
Speaker 1: to the area of town where the beggars lived. Most
Speaker 1: of these people were forced to beg because of a
Speaker 1: physical ailment. As doctor Usui worked to heal all of
Speaker 1: their ills, he felt such delight knowing they could now
Speaker 1: work and wouldn't have to beg again. He spent seven
Speaker 1: years traveling around healing people. However, when he returned to
Speaker 1: this beggar area a while later, he was shocked to
Speaker 1: see the same beggars living there. When he asked, why
Speaker 1: are you still here? I healed you, most of them said, well,
Speaker 1: it was just easier to stay here. This taught doctor
Speaker 1: Usui that one must want to be healed and feel
Speaker 1: that same sense of gratitude in order for the healing
Speaker 1: to truly work. Doctor Usui he began teaching others how
Speaker 1: to do reiki. In his lifetime, he had tuned eighteen masters.
Speaker 1: Two of his closest students were doctor Hayashi, who had
Speaker 1: tuned sixteen masters, and missus Takata, who's credited with bringing
Speaker 1: reiki to the West. She had tuned twenty two masters.
Speaker 1: Doctor Yusui also taught us about the Reiki principles, which says,
Speaker 1: just for today, I will give thanks for my many blessings,
Speaker 1: just for today. I will not worry. Just for today,
Speaker 1: I will not be angry. Just for today, I will
Speaker 1: do my work honestly. Just for today, I will be
Speaker 1: kind to my neighbor and every living thing I love
Speaker 1: those statements for all the obvious reasons, but also because
Speaker 1: each one starts with just for today, which reminds us
Speaker 1: to be gentle with ourselves. And this is really how
Speaker 1: reiki works. It's such a gentle form of energy healing.
Speaker 1: If you feel off one day or disconnected from this
Speaker 1: universal life, worse energy, no worries, you can always come
Speaker 1: back to center just for today. When you were attuned
Speaker 1: in a Reiki one class, you are fully certified and
Speaker 1: able to do reiki on yourself, others, animals, and plants
Speaker 1: for the rest of your life. After my first reiki Atuman,
Speaker 1: Annie advised us to go home and do reiki on
Speaker 1: ourselves every day for twenty one days. We were taught
Speaker 1: the specific hand positions, as longtime listeners know. It was
Speaker 1: this practice of meditating each night with reiki for twenty
Speaker 1: one days that truly opened my intuition. By the second week,
Speaker 1: I was starting to see my dear friend George, who
Speaker 1: passed away from colon cancer when he was just twenty seven.
Speaker 1: He started telling me things that I was able to
Speaker 1: validate after the meditation. It also greatly enhanced my dreams,
Speaker 1: and I began having many precognitive dream experiences. Learning reiki
Speaker 1: truly changed my life. In that first Reiki one class,
Speaker 1: one of my classmates was pregnant, and I remember thinking, Wow,
Speaker 1: I wish I had known about reiki when I was
Speaker 1: pregnant with my two girls. Six months later, I was
Speaker 1: pregnant with Chloe, and one of the first things I
Speaker 1: thought about was getting my second Reiki attainment. It was
Speaker 1: so happy that I'd be able to pass on reiki
Speaker 1: in utero to my little Chloe. In Reiki two, you
Speaker 1: learn how to perform distant healing. Reiki two intensifies Reiki
Speaker 1: one and is where you learn about the main reiki symbols.
Speaker 1: At the time I learned Reiki two, I was also
Speaker 1: taking into development classes and attending reiki shares. For any
Speaker 1: listeners who are looking to learn reiki, I think it's
Speaker 1: really important that you experience a session or two or
Speaker 1: three for yourself first. You can always check out your
Speaker 1: local Unity church. Many offer weekly reiki shares or healing sessions.
Speaker 1: You can also go to reiki dot org and search
Speaker 1: for a practitioner. A reiki circle is a wonderful experience
Speaker 1: because it involves reiki practitioners sharing this healing energy with
Speaker 1: one another. When I would participate in a reiki circle,
Speaker 1: one of us would lie down on a massage table
Speaker 1: while everyone else would gather around. We would each take
Speaker 1: a different reiki hand position and begin sending healing energy
Speaker 1: or just allowing the reiki energy to flow through us
Speaker 1: to the person on the table. It's a really good
Speaker 1: experience because you learn from one another, and you're able
Speaker 1: to both give and receive reiki. One of the things
Speaker 1: that shocked me when I started learning reiki was how
Speaker 1: my hands would heat up. Throughout my life, I've had
Speaker 1: cold hands. I was always cold. I had to keep
Speaker 1: an extra sweater in the car at all times because
Speaker 1: I'd get cold in the store or in a restaurant.
Speaker 1: But after receiving reiki, this stopped. Suddenly my hands would
Speaker 1: heat up, often of their own accord. I soon learned
Speaker 1: through experience that my hands would heat up when I
Speaker 1: was around someone who needed healing energy. The first time
Speaker 1: this occurred, I was at a neighborhood barbecue. I had
Speaker 1: just started doing reiki about two or three months before this,
Speaker 1: and We're all just standing around this backyard, eating and talking,
Speaker 1: when all of a sudden, my hands heat up. I
Speaker 1: looked around and my attention focused on one of my neighbors.
Speaker 1: I walked over to talk to him, and he said,
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry I'm being quiet, but I have the
Speaker 1: worst headache. I don't know what came over me, because
Speaker 1: this whole reiki and intuitive thing was very new to me,
Speaker 1: and I was super shy and quiet about it. But
Speaker 1: then out of my mouth tumbled, I'm a Reikie practitioner.
Speaker 1: Can I put my hands on your shoulder and send
Speaker 1: you healing energy? This was a really level headed guy
Speaker 1: who was interested in sports and science. Luckily, his wife
Speaker 1: was standing next to him and she said, oh, that
Speaker 1: would be wonderful, and she encouraged him to give it
Speaker 1: a try. So I stood on one of the deck
Speaker 1: stairs because he was a lot taller than I was,
Speaker 1: and I placed my heated up hands on his shoulders.
Speaker 1: It was really awkward. I didn't know what to do
Speaker 1: or say. I wasn't confident that anything would happen. I
Speaker 1: remember thinking, what if I'm just standing here in front
Speaker 1: of all my neighbors with my hands awkwardly on his
Speaker 1: shoulders and nothing happens. I visualized light flowing through me,
Speaker 1: out of my hands and into his shoulders. After about
Speaker 1: five minutes, he said, wait, what, what the heck? I
Speaker 1: feel something. I feel this heating sensation in my neck.
Speaker 1: I nodded as though I expected this, and I said, yes,
Speaker 1: that's the reiki energy. But inside I was like, holy cow,
Speaker 1: it's working. I kept my hands on his shoulders for
Speaker 1: about fifteen more minutes, and then gently removed them. He
Speaker 1: and his wife found me about thirty minutes later, and
Speaker 1: he said, I don't know what the heck that was,
Speaker 1: but my headache is gone, like completely gone. Thank you.
Speaker 1: This encouraged me to share reiki with others, and soon
Speaker 1: my confidence grew. I found that almost every reiki practitioner
Speaker 1: I met experienced this heating up of the hands. Sometimes
Speaker 1: my hands will heat up, but the client will say
Speaker 1: she feels a cooling sensation. This too, I learned, as normal, again,
Speaker 1: we just show up for the reiki and let it
Speaker 1: do its thing. After this, I started using reiki to
Speaker 1: clear my crystals to help my plants grow. I would
Speaker 1: I still do this. I draw the reiki symbols into
Speaker 1: the bath water when I take my weekly salt bath.
Speaker 1: I would draw the symbols over all of the food
Speaker 1: I prepare for my family. And so that the food
Speaker 1: they eat is charged with reiki. I'll get into more
Speaker 1: specifics of what you can do with reiki, but I
Speaker 1: just remember this time with so much joy because it
Speaker 1: was such a discovery for me, and I hope for
Speaker 1: anyone hoping to learn more about reiki you experience that
Speaker 1: same sense of awe and wonder at what reiki can
Speaker 1: do for us when we open ourselves up to this
Speaker 1: universal life force energy. Before we discuss what happens in
Speaker 1: reiki two, let's take a brief break. Hey guys. In April,
Speaker 1: I'm teaching the Be your Own Psychic class that will
Speaker 1: start Wednesdays in April on April eighth, from seven to
Speaker 1: eight thirty pm Easter. In this jam packed interactive course,
Speaker 1: you'll learn how to work with your chakras to awaken
Speaker 1: and strengthen your intuition. You're partnered up with someone new
Speaker 1: from class each week to practice all of the exercises
Speaker 1: in the course. Some of the topics covered include working
Speaker 1: with guys and angels, how to start doing readings, finding
Speaker 1: your community, working with your clayers, and using psychic tools.
Speaker 1: The four week class includes lots of handouts, three guided
Speaker 1: MP three meditations, and class recordings. Just go to Samantha
Speaker 1: Fay dot com and click the upcoming events tab. Hope
Speaker 1: to see you there. Okay, let's get back to the
Speaker 1: show and dive into the specifics of learning reiki. Reiki
Speaker 1: works through the use of sacred symbols. There are many symbols,
Speaker 1: but for today we're going to focus on the main three.
Speaker 1: The empowerment symbol, the emotionally healing symbol, and the distant
Speaker 1: healing symbol. Reiki symbols act as keys, doors to healing,
Speaker 1: greater awareness, and universal energy. Each symbol is a Sanskrit
Speaker 1: derived Japanese form. Reiki is typically taught in three sometimes
Speaker 1: four sessions, and Reiki one your attuned to the symbols
Speaker 1: and learn how to use reiki on yourself and others.
Speaker 1: In Reiki two, you learn the symbols and how to
Speaker 1: send reiki through distant healing. The final level of reiki,
Speaker 1: which is often taught in two parts and is not
Speaker 1: a requirement for being a reiki practitioner, is to become
Speaker 1: a reiki master. Here you learn additional reiki symbols and
Speaker 1: are taught how to pass on the atumins and teach reiki.
Speaker 1: There are other levels, such as Holy Fire reiki and
Speaker 1: Karuna reiki. It's believed that when you're attuned to reiki,
Speaker 1: you're connected to the lineage of the reiki masters who've
Speaker 1: attuned your teachers. The attumin is like a sacred contract
Speaker 1: between you, the teachers, and the universal life force. If
Speaker 1: you're looking to learn reiki and you're trying to find
Speaker 1: a reiki master teacher, make sure you ask them about
Speaker 1: their lineage. They should be able to easily trace it
Speaker 1: back to doctor Usui. For example, I received my Reiki
Speaker 1: master's degree from Glorias Spackman. She was attuned by William
Speaker 1: Rand who was attuned by Bethel Page and several others,
Speaker 1: and Bethel was attuned by Missus Dakata, who was trained
Speaker 1: by doctor Usui. For my Reiki one and two degrees,
Speaker 1: I was taught by Annie Miller, who was attuned by
Speaker 1: Libby Barnett, who received her degree from Beth Gray, who
Speaker 1: was attuned by Missus Dakata, which again brings us back
Speaker 1: to doctor Usui. So make sure when you're looking for
Speaker 1: a teacher that you know they have the right attunement lineage,
Speaker 1: so that you're not just learning from someone who may
Speaker 1: have just picked it up from a book. You want
Speaker 1: to make sure it's an actual reiki master teacher. When
Speaker 1: I was learning reiki back in two thousand and five,
Speaker 1: I was taught that you never share the reiki symbols.
Speaker 1: In fact, my teacher just showed us the symbols. She
Speaker 1: showed us the pictures and we were able to draw
Speaker 1: them in our notes, but that was it. She said
Speaker 1: they should never be shared with people who weren't attuned
Speaker 1: to reiki. In the last decade, this has changed significantly.
Speaker 1: At first, this kind of disturbed me because I liked
Speaker 1: the idea of keeping things sacred. I remember Annie teaching
Speaker 1: us that if you were in a class to take reiki,
Speaker 1: it meant it was part of your fate, It was
Speaker 1: part of your soul play and your destiny. That all
Speaker 1: reiki students find the right reiki teacher for them, and
Speaker 1: that you become part of this almost like this secret family.
Speaker 1: And so I liked the idea of keeping these symbols
Speaker 1: just among reiki people. But now I see the honesty
Speaker 1: and purity and sharing reiki with everyone. So with that
Speaker 1: being said, let's discuss the symbols. Choklu ray is the
Speaker 1: empowerment symbol. It significantly increases you energy. Annie taught us
Speaker 1: that if we all, say, for example, walk around with
Speaker 1: a fifty watt light bulb over your head, using the
Speaker 1: chokuray enhances its light to a five hundred watt light bulb.
Speaker 1: Choku ray means by divine decree and I have the key.
Speaker 1: You use the chokua to increase the power of reiki energy.
Speaker 1: It helps draw more energy to you and helps focus it.
Speaker 1: You also want to draw the symbol once and say
Speaker 1: the words chokua three times, Chokura, chokuray, chokuray. You can
Speaker 1: use the chokurray to clear negative energy for spiritual protection,
Speaker 1: to help bless your food and water, to encourage healthy
Speaker 1: plant growth, to clear energy in a hospital or sickroom,
Speaker 1: to enhance manifesting. You start and end reiki sessions with
Speaker 1: the choku ray because it empowers the sessions and at
Speaker 1: the end helps to seal it. The choku ray symbol
Speaker 1: reminds us that we are all divine creatures living together
Speaker 1: in a sacred space. It works to set your intentions.
Speaker 1: It's an invitation to the light force energy. You can
Speaker 1: use the empowerment symbol to seal your aura of energy
Speaker 1: leaks and to charge a room before doing any healing
Speaker 1: or meditative work. You can also draw it, say it
Speaker 1: three times, and then walk through it to surround your
Speaker 1: aura in a protective shield. So this is something I
Speaker 1: do each morning. I will draw the Choku ray starting
Speaker 1: above my head and bringing that symbol all the way
Speaker 1: down to the floor and then doing the spirals in
Speaker 1: front of my torso, and then I walk through it
Speaker 1: and say it three times. You can draw it around
Speaker 1: your car to protect yourself while driving. One thing I
Speaker 1: love to do is draw it over each of my
Speaker 1: chakras and tap it in three times as I repeat
Speaker 1: the word chokuay to awaken, cleanse, and balance my energy centers.
Speaker 1: You can draw the Choku ray over your hands, tapping
Speaker 1: it in three times in each palm. Before working on clients,
Speaker 1: draw the choke U ray with your finger and tap
Speaker 1: it into the four walls of your bedroom to ensure
Speaker 1: good night's sleep or to cleanse any room in your
Speaker 1: house of negative energy. You can draw the chokeuray on
Speaker 1: your glass of water and say this water makes me
Speaker 1: healthy and whole. The second symbol is called the say Haki.
Speaker 1: It's the mental and emotional symbol. It means keys to
Speaker 1: the universe. I was always taught that you say this
Speaker 1: phrase as a question, say haki, say haki, say haki,
Speaker 1: because this symbol is asking we know that you know,
Speaker 1: so won't you tell us? It's an invitation to open up,
Speaker 1: because it's like a hotline to the universe. By using
Speaker 1: the say haki, you're inviting yourselves to open up and
Speaker 1: talk to you. It's an excellent symbol for clearing the mind,
Speaker 1: focusing thoughts, and aiding psychic protection. It also works to
Speaker 1: balance energy and heal trauma stored in the body. By
Speaker 1: clearing emotional blocks, it helps the line in the chakras
Speaker 1: and restores peace and harmony. You always want to use
Speaker 1: the sa haiki with the chokura, So for example, state
Speaker 1: your intention, draw the sa haiki, say it three times,
Speaker 1: then draw the choke cura and say it three times personally.
Speaker 1: And this is not what I was taught, but I
Speaker 1: don't know. For some reason, I usually treat these two
Speaker 1: symbols like an oreo cookie, so I'll sandwich the sa
Speaker 1: haiki between the chokura. But that's just my preference. Working
Speaker 1: with the emotional symbol helps you leave emotional baggage in
Speaker 1: your rear view mirror. It helps break bad habits and
Speaker 1: old negative thought patterns. For example, if you want to
Speaker 1: heal an addiction, write your name and the unwanted habit
Speaker 1: on a piece of paper. Draw this symbol, then the
Speaker 1: choke cure, and hold the paper between your hands for
Speaker 1: twenty minutes while visualizing this addictive habit, leaving your energy.
Speaker 1: The saheki works to balance the left and right side
Speaker 1: of the brain. It's also wonderful to use when trying
Speaker 1: to heal sadness, anger, worry, and fear. When working with
Speaker 1: the symbol, you always want to finish by saying everything
Speaker 1: is for the highest healing good. The third symbol you'll
Speaker 1: learn in Reiki two is the Hanchhazaishin. It's the distant
Speaker 1: healing symbol. It means I behold and bestow the truth
Speaker 1: of truths. It works to help us tap into pure consciousness.
Speaker 1: You can use this hanchazashen to send healing energy from
Speaker 1: a distance. If you have a friend who's not feeling well,
Speaker 1: you can envision them or hold a photo of them,
Speaker 1: draw the symbols over the photo and proceed with a
Speaker 1: reiki session. You can also use the symbol to send
Speaker 1: reiki energy to a painful past memory, or or to
Speaker 1: send positive energy to a future event. Let's say you
Speaker 1: have a job interview coming up. You can charge that
Speaker 1: event with positive energy by working with the distant healing symbol.
Speaker 1: Or if you're working to heal your inner child, use
Speaker 1: the hanchasation and focus on the healing, not the pain
Speaker 1: or sadness. You can also use the distant healing symbol
Speaker 1: to help cross over earth bounce. When you use this
Speaker 1: symbol to send reiki love to your higher power, guides
Speaker 1: and angels, it comes back to you one hundred times.
Speaker 1: The distant healing symbol works remotely because we are all one.
Speaker 1: So think about the fact that reiki means universal life
Speaker 1: force energy, universal meaning unity union. So every time you
Speaker 1: use reiki and you employ the distant healing symbol, you
Speaker 1: are reminding yourself that we are all connected. We are
Speaker 1: all one. There is no time, there is no space
Speaker 1: or distance, It's all now. When sending distant healing energy,
Speaker 1: you can cup your hands around an imaginary fish bowl
Speaker 1: on your lap, or some people use reiki bears, or
Speaker 1: you can use any teddy bear or anything that you
Speaker 1: want to use. I ended up making a little chakra angel,
Speaker 1: and that's what I use when I'm sending distant healing energy.
Speaker 1: Whenever you do reiki on yourself or anyone, whether in
Speaker 1: person or distant, you always want to keep your fingers together.
Speaker 1: Separated fingers work against concentrating the reiki energy. You should
Speaker 1: know the person's name and or their location, and of
Speaker 1: course you should receive permission to perform the healing. Picture
Speaker 1: the person in the fish bowl between your hands, or
Speaker 1: you can just write their name on a piece of
Speaker 1: paper and tape it to the reiki bear that you're
Speaker 1: working with. State your intent. For example, you could say,
Speaker 1: it is my intention to send healing energy to Jane
Speaker 1: Doe in Fairfax, Virginia. Then you draw the distant healing
Speaker 1: symbol and say it three times. Then you draw the
Speaker 1: chokuray and say it three times. Then you draw the
Speaker 1: sa haiki and repeat say haiki three times. Finally, you
Speaker 1: draw the chokuray once more and repeat it three times.
Speaker 1: Focus sending healing energy and love to this person for
Speaker 1: at least ten to twenty minutes. When you're finished, you
Speaker 1: can say something like may her situation be infused with
Speaker 1: reiki for her highest healing good when my hands released,
Speaker 1: Please keep sending her reiki energy for as long as
Speaker 1: she needs it. Thank you. You can also use the
Speaker 1: distant symbol for help manifesting goals. Write down your goal
Speaker 1: on an index card or piece of paper and draw
Speaker 1: the symbols over it and raky this card for twenty
Speaker 1: minutes a day while visualizing your goal coming to fruition.
Speaker 1: You can also create a crystal grid for sending healing energy.
Speaker 1: Take a photo of the person or situation, or just
Speaker 1: write the person's name down or the situation that you're
Speaker 1: trying to send healing to place this in the center
Speaker 1: of your grid. Charge your crystals with reiki, draw the
Speaker 1: absence symbol and say it three times. You can also
Speaker 1: add the other symbols to intend that the crystals absorb
Speaker 1: your reiki energy and surround them around the photo or picture.
Speaker 1: You can use one crystal for this and simply place
Speaker 1: it atop the photo, or you can surround the photo
Speaker 1: with eight crystals. Eight is a number of power, so
Speaker 1: that's what I tend to use. But again, this is
Speaker 1: about intention, so you can do what feels right for you.
Speaker 1: Before we talk about ways that you can use reiki
Speaker 1: and your daily life. We're going to take our last
Speaker 1: break stay with us.

Speaker 2: will teach you great crafts. So register on my website
Speaker 2: deboen dot com. And finally, please subscribe to my substack.
Speaker 2: The subscribe button is at the bottom of the homepage
Speaker 2: of my website and my substack is truly the best
Speaker 2: way to keep up with my dates at all my offerings.
Speaker 2: So I look forward to working with you. Thanks so much, everybody.
Speaker 1: There are so many different ways that you can start
Speaker 1: to incorporate reiki into your own life. It's a wonderful
Speaker 1: way to enhance your meditation practice, to facilitate your spiritual awakening,
Speaker 1: to reach out and connect with like minded people to
Speaker 1: encourage your own inner universal light force energy to come forward.
Speaker 1: When you start to work with reiki intentionally on a
Speaker 1: daily basis, it really does remind you that we're all connected,
Speaker 1: that everything is energy, and that we always have access
Speaker 1: to help, guidance and support. If you're going to start
Speaker 1: learning reiki, I would recommend that, as I said, you
Speaker 1: get a reiki session for yourself at least a couple
Speaker 1: of times from different reiki practitioners so you know what
Speaker 1: it feels like. You could also reach out to a
Speaker 1: reki practitioner and ask for them to send you distant
Speaker 1: healing energy so you can experience that as well. And
Speaker 1: then I would invite you to explore research, ask questions
Speaker 1: around different reiki teachers, ask them if they have students
Speaker 1: you can talk with from the past, or just make
Speaker 1: sure you like them, trust them, feel good with their energy.
Speaker 1: A lot of people are teaching reiki online right now,
Speaker 1: and so that is something you could do as well,
Speaker 1: or you could find a local reiki practitioner. In Reiki one,
Speaker 1: you have most reiki one classes are taught in one
Speaker 1: day sessions, and after that simple, wonderful one day session,
Speaker 1: you will have everything within you needed to work with
Speaker 1: reiki energy. However, I do strongly encourage people to move
Speaker 1: on to reiki two because I find that it really
Speaker 1: deepens and enhances the practice. A lot of teachers will
Speaker 1: teach reiki one in two in the same weekend, and
Speaker 1: I think that's actually a really good idea. I've met
Speaker 1: too many people that have gotten reiki one and didn't
Speaker 1: really feel a lot from it, and they just kind
Speaker 1: of walked away from reiki. And I've met so many
Speaker 1: others who got their reiki one into fairly quickly together,
Speaker 1: either in the same weekend or within a month of
Speaker 1: each other or a couple of months. Those people tend
Speaker 1: to stick with reiki and stay with it. There's something
Speaker 1: about learning those sacred symbols and starting to employ them
Speaker 1: in your daily life that really deepens and enriches the
Speaker 1: reiki experience. I don't think anyone or everyone has to
Speaker 1: move on to the reiki three and the Reiki masters
Speaker 1: and the karuna reiki and the whole all the other reikis.
Speaker 1: I think that's only for people who are specifically called
Speaker 1: to do that. Who really feel a calling to teach
Speaker 1: reiki and pass on the attunemants. If you don't have
Speaker 1: that calling, no worries. Reiki one and two is really
Speaker 1: all you need. It is really cool to learn and
Speaker 1: progress your development with reiki through Reiki three, the Reiki master,
Speaker 1: the karuna reiki. Because you learned so many other amazing
Speaker 1: reiki symbols, you learn the gift of being able to
Speaker 1: pass on the attune means you learn all sorts of
Speaker 1: other really cool techniques and skills and ways to enhance
Speaker 1: your healing sessions with people. So if you love reiki,
Speaker 1: I do think you should keep learning and moving and
Speaker 1: growing and exploring. But if you're just kind of interested
Speaker 1: and curious, I would really recommend that you check out
Speaker 1: a Reiki one and two class. So that's a little
Speaker 1: introduction into reiki. One of the things that I really
Speaker 1: love about this healing modality is there are no special
Speaker 1: tools required. You don't need to spend years and years
Speaker 1: in school. You don't have to take a test and
Speaker 1: be certified and pass it. You can do reiki anytime, anywhere.
Speaker 1: It's always within you. Hands on reiki on if you
Speaker 1: go to reiki dot org. You can click on Reiki's
Speaker 1: Stories and read through so many short but really amazing,
Speaker 1: wonderful testimonies about the healing effects reiki has had on
Speaker 1: so many people. There's one story of a dog who
Speaker 1: needed surgery, is going to be out of dollars, but
Speaker 1: then a reiki practitioner sent this little dog distant healing reiki,
Speaker 1: and the dog healed never needed the surgery. You can
Speaker 1: read stories of health conditions improving, emotional issues being released,
Speaker 1: and even stories of spirit releasement and ghost clearings through reiki.
Speaker 1: There's in the Reiki magazine, they always will post a
Speaker 1: couple of little stories, or people will write into the editor.
Speaker 1: I'd say at least three times a year someone will
Speaker 1: write in that they were driving, they were lost, and
Speaker 1: their phone ran out of a battery and they didn't
Speaker 1: have their GPS, so they rekied their phone and it
Speaker 1: was suddenly charged. I have to say I've read that
Speaker 1: so many times that a few times I have actually
Speaker 1: like let my phone go dead so I could see
Speaker 1: if this would work. It has not worked for me.
Speaker 1: I don't know if my reiki doesn't have enough mojo,
Speaker 1: or if Apple just doesn't like my Reiki editor. Yet many, many, many,
Speaker 1: many people report that they have charged their phones with reiki,
Speaker 1: which I think is really cool. I just wish I
Speaker 1: could do it. If you're interested in learning more about reiki,
Speaker 1: I would definitely recommend you check out the reiki dot
Speaker 1: org site, which is created and run by William Brand.
Speaker 1: You can also check out books like the original Reiki
Speaker 1: Handbook of Doctor Usui. I also really like Essential Reiki
Speaker 1: by Diane Steing, Reiki Healing for Beginners by David Flippy,
Speaker 1: and Self Healing with Reiki by Penelope Quest. So that's
Speaker 1: it for this week. I wish you all a wonderful,
Speaker 1: happy week. Be the light for yourself and others. Take
Speaker 1: care of everyone. Thank you for listening to Psychic Teachers, your
