Reiki for Children

Reiki for Children

There are no contraindications in dealing with children in transmitting them Reiki (especially if they are very small). It is only necessary to listen to your heart and your instincts and trying to catch all the signals that children send to us.

Children have an energy still very pure and strong and accordingly treatments can be shorter, if the children are very young are sufficient even a few minutes.

Never force a child to undergo a Reiki treatment when you do not want and do not extend beyond the necessary treatment when he gives evidence of having received sufficient Reiki energy: Children are much more sensitive than adults and perceive with clarity when the treatment is enough.

• For infants and children up to 3 years 5 minutes of treatment are more than enough. 
• From 3 to 5 years may be enough 10 minutes. 
• From 5 to 10 years could fit 10 to 20 minutes. 
• After 10 years you can further prolong the Reiki treatment. After 14-16 years old boys you can do one minute and a half to position (half the time compared to adult) or 2 minutes per view. 
• Towards the 16-18 years you run the Reiki complete with classical times.

As regards the possibility to introduce children to the Reiki there are drawbacks: you could become Reiki channel at any age.

In any case, a Reiki teacher should, in good conscience, be a person who begins making choices in personal autonomy, who has knowledge enough to accommodate the path of Reiki.

To start Reiki on minors, of course the parents have to agree. So it is advisable, as a reference, waiting until the child is at least 12-14 years old, as he could show a sincere conviction, in getting the first REIKI level.

Self-treatment REIKI

Self-treatment REIKI

In the practice of Reiki, self-treatment is a wonderful practice that we do for ourselves, and it is an extremely  important moment . It is  essential to have received the harmonies of the first level in order to deal with Reiki. It 's also important  not only for treating other people, but dedicating treatment to cleanse ourselves and our channels.

There is a time when we dedicate ourselves to send love, light, energy healing, balance of our energy system and It is often recommended in the evening, in bed, before falling asleep. But it can be done at any time of the day, the important thing is for us is to take this half hour, unplug the phones, not to be disturbed. We can sit on a chair, on a couch or the floor, or we can also treat lying down.

It is very impressive and helps for the purpose  to accompany the self-treatment with relaxing music, Reiki music, or the sounds of nature, or instruments as sweet as the harp. We can also turn on a stick flavored with sandalwood, or incense, Indian spiritual, and possibly light a white candle to give to our most sacred moment.

It starts with the centering of the heart for those who want to, but is not mandatory, however Reiki works just endorse your hands. Here your hands start to heat up and the operator is channeling Reiki, which is precisely the energy of love. Expect in this position about three minutes.

At this point we put both hands with the fingers together to avoid wasting energy, on the top of the head. We remain in this position possibly with eyes closed for three minutes. Then pulling a hand at a time, we pass our hands over our eyes, you right hand on your right, the other on the left. We take three minutes also here . After we bring the hands behind the head on the neck and slightly above for three minutes.

Then put both hands on the throat, always moving one hand at time. Always three minutes. After we pass to the heart putting the two hands close and parallel between them. Again we remain three minutes. Then we go down and pass the stomach  placing your hands parallel and close together and we still three minutes. We go down again and put pur hands on our stomach in the same way. Always three minutes. 

Shifting a hand at a time, let your right hand on your right goin, and the left hand on the left  groin and we wait three minutes. When we finish, we thank the Reiki energy, and there we rub our hands to close the contact. If you feel your palms are still very hot, wash your hands under running water.

A Reiki operator, at any level, should never neglect the self-care,  because, as in all disciplines, in order to heal others, first of all, we have also take care of ourselves. Constantly practicing the Reiki self-treatment, is detoxifying and is also a good practice of purification.

During the period of self-treatment , drink pure water, tea and herbal teas, and use salt  for bathing in water, to assist the process of purification and detoxification.

Interview with Mikao Usui

Interview with Mikao Usui

Mikao Usui responded for real to the following questions, but the date and the name of the interviewer are not known. According to the date mentioned in the text, the interview should had occurred  between 1922 and 1926, the year Mikao Usui left the body.

Question: What is the 'Usui Reiki Ryoho?

Answer: We have received with gratitude the principles prescribed by the Emperor Meiji and live abiding by them. In order to follow the spiritual path, humanity has to live according to these principles. This means that we have learn to improve our body, our feelings and our thoughts with constant practice. In this way first of all, as we heal the spirit, consequently we will restore the body. When our mind is on the healthy path of honesty and seriousness, the body finds itself the full health. Since the body and mind are one thing, we can all live in peace and joy. We heal ourselves diseases others too, intensifying and increasing our happiness and that one  of others. This is the aim of Usui Reiki Ryoho

Question: The Usui Reiki Ryoho is based on a form of psychotherapy, self-suggestion, hypnosis or other therapies notes? Is  It a therapy already known but under another name?

Answer: It is not similar to the forms of therapy that he described. After many years of hard training, I met a spiritual secret that is used to rid the body and mind.

Question: Reiki is a psycho-spiritual healing method?

Answer: It is pretty accurate, we can call it that way, but we can also call it physical therapy, since the energy and the light radiating from all parts of the body of the person allow the treatment. The energy and the light are radiating from the eyes, mouth, and from the hands of those who give the treatment, and he/she may, at the same time, fix his/her eyes on the afflicted parts, blow and gently massage. Toothache, headache, stomach pain, swelling in the chest, neuralgia, bruises, cuts, burns, etc.. heal easily, while chronic diseases are not so easy to treat but also a single treatment of a chronic illness shows a positive effect. I wonder how this phenomenon can be explained by medical science. The reality is increasingly affecting the theory, when you see the results, you will agree with me. Even those who do not want to believe can not deny the  reality.

Question: Have we to believe in 'Usui Reiki Ryoho healing to occur?

Answer: No, because the Reiki Ryoho is different from other methods of psychic healing. Consent and faith are not needed, because the Reiki does not work through suggestion. It makes no difference whether a person is incredulous, skeptical or biased. For example it also works with children and people who are seriously injured and unconscious. Out of ten people, perhaps one will trust to the first treatment. Already after the first treatment the majority of people feel the effects and benefits and they will increase their confidence.

Question: What diseases can be cured with the Usui Reiki Ryoho

Answer: Any disease origining from mental or physical disease.

Question: Does Usui Reiki Ryoho heal  only illness?

Answer: No, not only diseases of the body, but also bad habits and psychological ailments such as despair, weakness of character, lack of courage, the difficulty in making decisions and nervousness. With Reiki energy, our spirit finds its divine part or his Buddhahood, and we can develop the ability to treat other human beings, our brothers. In this way we make happy, healthy and serene both ourselves and others.

Question: How does  Usui Reiki Ryoho heal?

Answer: No one has started this method. I did not make efforts to obtain extraordinary powers of healing. While I fasted, I came in contact with an intense energy and, in some mysterious way, I was inspired. For a set of coincidences it became clear that I had been given the spiritual art of healing. Although, even if I m the founder of this method, is difficult for me to explain it in more details. Doctors and researchers are moving  passionate researches in this field, but so far it has been difficult to reach a conclusion that is based on medical science. There will come a time when the Reiki meet science.

Question: Does The Usui Reiki Ryoho use medicines or special tools? If so, are there any side effects?

Answer: They do not use medicines or instruments. We use only the look, the breath, the caress, the light taps and the touch of the hands. That 's what heals diseases.

Question: In order to practice the Usui Reiki Ryoho is it necessary to have medical knowledge?

Answer: The Reiki Ryoho is a spiritual method that goes beyond medical science and therefore does not rely on it. When we look, we blow it, we touch or caress the diseased body part, we get the desired result. For example, touching the head when we want to treat the brain, abdomen when we want to treat the abdomen and eyes to eyes. You do not get bitter medicine, or using the moxa or moxibustion but it heals quickly and easily. So this spiritual method is an original creation.

Question: How do physicians consider Reiki?

Answer: The scientific authorities are very honest in judging the Usui Reiki Ryoho. Recently some famous European doctors took a critical stand against the administration (indiscriminate) medicine. Dr. Sen Nagai of Teikoku Medical University said: "We doctors know how to diagnose a disease, save it and understand it empirically, but we do not know where it comes from or how to treat it." Dr. Kondo said: "It 's arrogant to say that medicine has made tremendous progress when modern medicine neglects the spiritual balance (the patient). It' s a great disadvantage." Dr. Sakae Hara said: "It ' s insolence treating the human being, who has a spiritual wisdom, like an animal. Believe that in the future we will have a great revolution in the field of therapy." Some doctors and pharmacists understand this problem and start asking to be initiated into Reiki.

Question: What do you think about the government?

Answer: On February 6, the eleventh year of the Taisho period (1922), Congressman Teiji Matsushita did, at the meeting of the shareholders' meeting of the Federal Parliament, the following question: "What is the government's position on therapists currently practicing psychotherapy and spiritual therapy without a title? "
Mr. Ushio the government commissioner said: "Ten years ago, hypnosis and other similar forms of therapy were judged inadequate treatment but today, after long researches, are applied effectively in psychiatry. It 's hard to want to solve everything about being, with human medicine. To heal diseases physicians follow certain ways, which are based on the principles of medicine. The use of hands and electrotherapy to combat the disease are not part of the methods of medical school. " That's why the Usui Reiki Ryoho is not subject to laws regarding the right medical health or those involving acupuncture, shiatsu or moxa.

Question: In this therapy, are the skills of spiritual healing given only to those who are spiritually developed at birth? I do not think this can be learned. What do you think?

Answer: All living beings have received the gift of the spiritual ability to heal. The same thing can be applied to plants, animals, fish and insects, but humans, representing the culmination of creation, have received a greater power. Usui Reiki Ryoho appeared in the world to make this capability available and accessible to all.

Question: Anyone can be initiate to Usui Reiki Ryoho?

Answer: Of course you. Men and women, old and young, doctors and uneducated people who live according to the moral principles can learn in a short time.  I initiated more than a thousand people and not even one of these has failed to achieve the desired result. Everyone, even those who have just learned Shoden (the first level), are already able to heal diseases. If we think about it, it is rather strange to learn in such a short time to heal disease, although this is for the human being the hardest thing. I am myself amazed and this is the characteristic of our method of spiritual healing, we can learn something so difficult so much easier.

Question: With the Usui Reiki Ryoho you can heal others. And what about yourself? Can  someone  heal also his/her-own illnesses?

Answer: If we could not  heal our diseases, our body and our mind, how cannot we heal others'?

Question: What should I do to learn Okuden (the second level)?

Answer: The Okuden consists of a number of lessons to apply: I Hatsurei, tap, stroke, put pressure with your hands, healing on distance, heal customs etc.. Before you learn Shoden and then when you have achieved good results, the correct behavior, honesty and morality and you will be thrilled with the Reiki, then you will be ready to receive initiation into Okuden.

Question: In the Reiki Ryoho is there any other teaching after Okuden?

Answer: There is still the Shinpiden, the highest level, namely the fourth, ie the degree in which we can send Reiki and teach others.
