Animal Reiki

Leave a reply

Do you know Reiki can be beneficial for your beloved pets?

Reiki, non-harmful and non-invasive energy, can be a great alternative therapy for animals. (read more about REIKI >>> What is REIKI?

Animals are very sensitive to energy and usually naturally receptive to Reiki energy. They tend to gravitate towards it and enjoy the gentle healing energy that Reiki provides.

My Animal Reiki teacher, Olivia LaBarre said “Animals are already natural Reiki masters.” They have strong sense and connections with Reiki (The Universal Life Force Energy) and full of the energy of pure Love, and can heal themselves quickly in many cases. However, even though they can do a lot by themselves, they appreciate the energy and support of Reiki.

It is also true that pets are experiencing more stress these days and have some health issues. Reiki can benefit those pets, as well as their owners if they need it.

Animal Reiki can be done directly with care, but also can be done remotely. Since they are super sensitive to the energy, sometimes approaching them remotely could be non-invasive and even better way. Also because of their sensitivity, the session typically last 15-20 min, or 30 min. at most, and the treatment can be repeated if needed.

Healing Crisis

Leave a reply

In any energy healing modality, usually people experience deep relaxations, stress relief, and some improvements of the issues they have. Reiki and other energy healing modalities work non-invasively, and affect positively to your Body-Mind in all levels.

However, after a session or attunement, you may temporary experience symptoms called “Healing Crisis” or “Cleansing Reaction.” It happens when a great deal of purification and cleansing takes place when you work with energy as part of the healing process.

In Healing Crisis, you may feel the old symptoms returned, or get worse, because of the suppressed conditions come to the surface to be released.

The symptoms includes cold or flue like symptoms, fatigue, muscle and joint pain, headache, coughing, nausea, insomnia, diarrhea or constipation, etc.

Also in healing process, uncomfortable emotions and thought patterns come to the surface from unconscious to conscious level, and you may experience some disturbances in emotional and mental states.

It may cause some symptoms such as strong emotional reactions, anxiety, depression, and mood swings.

If the issues are chronic and held in you long time, you may experience Healing Crisis heavily when you release a great amount of energy blocks. However, it is very common and usually not to worry or concern.

All of these symptoms are present because of the detoxification and purification in all level, physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Best is to simply allow yourself to observe and experience the changes and acknowledge the old patterns, and let them pass through you. Trust all is happening because it is ready to heal, and accept change and new patterns to come.

What to do in Healing Crisis?

  • Be Gentle with Yourself : Take a good care of yourself. Rest well and sleep well. Eat good food (hopefully something easy to digest, clean and healthy). If you need to be alone, or need to be someone you love and trust, honor that part of yourself. Do not judge.
  • Meditate : Consciously process your energy shifts, including belief systems that is no longer serving you and emotional reactions will help your healing process. Meditation will help you to stay focus in the present moment, and help you to be calm and be peace in your healing.
  • Drink Water : Water helps your cells function and detoxification, and also to ground yourself.
  • Take a Big Breath : Taking a big breath couple of times, and focus on deep breathing for a while. It will calm your nervous system and help to process emotions through diaphragm.
  • Ground Yourself : Do some grounding. Earthing is a great way to ground yourself. Take a walk in nature, do easy movements, take bath, anything to relax and bring you back to now and peace.
  • Surrender : Trust you Body-Mind, and healing is happening for you. Let go and surrender to the release of the symptoms

The symptoms usually last for couple of days and subside naturally. Occasionally, it could last for some weeks in some cases. If the symptoms last too long or worsens, and/or cause you concerns, please seek medical advice.

What is IET?

Leave a reply

IET® (Integrated Energy Therapy®) is considered to be “the next generation” hands-on therapy. IET is developed by the Center of Being in Woodstock, New York, by Steven J. Thayer, working with angelic energy field.

IET is known as “get the issues out of tissues.” It is a safe, yet powerful modality to release suppressed feelings and energy blocks from cellular memory, re-configuring our 12 stand DNA. It is nurturing way to release emotions, old ideas and beliefs, and traumas in physical, emotional, mental, and karmic level.

It is also kwon as “release trauma without drama.” You don’t need to remember and go through your painful experiences of the past, in order to release emotions and energy blockages.

Practitioner uses the Cellular Memory Map, to address specific areas of the body where the energy of emotions is stored, and empowers the body with new energy imprints.

IET can also help you to discover and live your soul missions.

  • Basic Level IET Sessions: focus on clearing physical and emotional energy blockages from the cellular memory and leave in your body positive energy imprints.
  •  Intermediate Level IET Sessions: in addition to clearing the cellular memory, The Intermediate Level Session also focus on clearing physical, emotional, mental and karmic energy imprints from your human energy field and leave in your body and energy field positive energy imprints.
  • Advanced Level IET Sessions: in addition to clearing your cellular memory and your human energy field, the Advanced Level Session can help you to discover and live your soul’s mission.

The IET Mission is to “Heal the world one-heart-at-a-time”.

IET can provide a wonderful complement to other holistic techniques such as Reiki. While IET is a perfect energy therapy by itself, it is very powerful to integrate IET into sessions based on other holistic modalities as well as integrate the techniques of other holistic modalities into IET sessions.

JIKIDEN REIKI（直傳靈氣）

Leave a reply

Reiki was found by Mikao Usui in 1922 in Japan. Today, Reiki is widely practiced all over the world. However, when we say Reiki in general, we are referring to Reiki with western influence. When Reiki started to spread in the West, many Reiki masters added western healing techniques and concepts, modified the practice along the lines. JIKIDEN REIKI（直傳靈氣）is the original Japanese form of Reiki. JIKIDEN means “directly handed down” from the founder Mikao Usui. JIKIDEN REIKI is a practice passed on an original form of Reiki which taught by Mikao Usui and his direct student Dr. Chujiro Hayashi.

Hawayo Takata, Japanese-American in Hawaii, was the one who brought Reiki to the West in 1937. When Mrs. Takata visited Japan, she was very ill and met Dr. Hayashi in his Reiki clinic in Tokyo. Mrs. Takata recovered from her sever illness with Reiki, amazed and decided to practice Reiki and bring it to the West. She was trained by Dr. Hayashi and became a Reiki master in 1938. She opened the clinic in Hawaii, and practiced and taught Reiki, trained 22 Reiki masters. This initiated Reiki to spread worldwide, and also since late 1980s, Western Reiki have been imported back into Japan.

For a long time, people believed original Reiki was died in Japan. However, in 1990s, western Reiki practitioners who went to Japan to search the origin of Reiki, found Chiyoko Yamaguchi who learned Reiki from Dr. Chujiro Hayashi. By requests of Western Reiki practitioners to preserve the original form, Chiyoko and her son Tadao, decided to teach and named it JIKIDEN REIKI in order to differentiate from the western influenced practices.

Western Reiki approach includes auras and chakras to balance the energy field of a recipient. JIKIDEN REIKI is a simple hands on healing primarily focus on physical body. It is a very simple, but very powerful tool that can address physical conditions, and help to increase the natural ability to heal. Practitioner can detect Byosen（病腺）physical problems by sensation of the hands, and release them with Reiki. It can also address mental healing and increase inner peace and harmony.

All Reiki forms are originated from Japanese original Reiki by Mikao Usui. Western Reiki is modified by masters, but still based on Usui’s teachings, and it has its own beauty too. We acknowledge and respect amazing Usui’s teachings and philosophy, but also respect all the masters who developed their own ways, spread the Reiki all over the world, and helped many people.

Distance Healing

Leave a reply

Distance (remote) healing is a form of healing energy sent from a practitioner and received by a recipient across time and space. By intending to connect and send energy to the recipient, the practitioner does not need to be physically present.

Everything is made up of energy. The energy field does not have definite boundary line. It affects, merges, connects each other. If we really think about that, it literally means everything is connected to everything.

We know now this is a reality in quantum theory. There are no particles, and energy is the basis of the material reality. Nothing is solid. It’s all energy and vibrations. It also reveals that distance between objects is illusion. Even though we think we experience distance and things are separated from us, quantum physics suggests that they are actually not separated. Separation is merely the perception of our limited belief.

In the observer effect theory in quantum physics, we can see the mere observation of a phenomenon changes that phenomenon. The famous quantum mechanics experiment is called the “double-slit experiment.” This experiment revealed how the observer’s mind, consciousness, affected matters or phenomenon. This can explain how the practitioner’s consciousness can affect the state of the receiver in the case of distance healing.

Also some theories argue that time is not fixed and linear. The Block Universe Theory explains the entire universe is containing all past, present, and future events at any time and at any place. In other words, everything happening simultaneously. Everything is happening now. There is no past and future as we think of. Only the present moment. This might explain how Reiki can affects beyond time.

If you are not familiar with quantum theory, here are some fun YouTube clips of Dr. Quantum!

Proof of Mind Over Matter – The Double Slit Experiment – Physics, Dr. Quantum

Quantum theory also suggests the possibility of the parallel world and multiverse. Recently NASA announced that they might find the evidence to support parallel universe (April article in New Scientist). This is not about distance healing, but it may explain how healing happens. If you change your frequency by energy healing, then you simply go to the another parallel world that healing is already occurred. Of course, none of us knows yet if the parallel world exist, but it is very fun to think in that way!

The science is catching up more and more about our energy fields, minds, and consciousness. There are many scientific research on Reiki and other healing modalities, too. I will share more in the future 😉

How does REIKI work?

1 Reply

The practitioner is the conduit between the recipient and Reiki : Universal Life Force Energy, and guides the energy to the recipient’s body and energy field. Reiki flows where the energy is stagnant, blocked, and unbalanced, and by raising the energy vibrations, it will help to restore the balance and increase natural ability to heal.

We are all born with Universal Life Force Energy, Intelligence, our ability to heal ourselves (please read What is REIKI? for more). But over the course of our lives, we accumulate negative energy patterns physically, emotionally, mentally, and sometimes spiritually, too. Those patterns causes disruption in our well-beings.

Our Mind-Body knows where the healings are needed. But it becomes hard when the energy field or flow is disrupted too much or too long.

By trusting the recipient’s Mind-Body’s intelligence and Reiki energy, the practitioner sense subtle energy fields, and use intuition and guidance to see where the energy is needed, allow the energy flow to restore the balance.

A typical session takes 45 min. to 1 hour. The recipient always fully clothed, preferably lie down on massage table. The practitioner may or may not touch the recipient, but use the hands to generate the energy flow.

Reiki means Universal Life Force Energy. REI / 靈 means ‘universal life” or ‘spirit’ and KI / 氣 means ‘energy’. It is also called ‘Chi’ ‘Ki’ ‘Prana’ or sometimes consciousness in other practices. It is the intelligence which makes all living things. it is Universal Love, and Life itself.

When a conception happens, a cell starts to divide. Each cell keeps multiplying, but at some point, cells find purpose to become bones, muscles, organs, etc. This intelligence makes cells into our amazing bodies.

When you get a cut, it gets healed without you really thinking or knowing how. Your body starts healing by itself. Other examples are your hair and finger nails keep growing, your body eliminate what is not need, you get fever to fight the virus in your body, etc. Your body orchestrates to maintain your balance constantly, and we are all born with this amazing intelligence and healing power within us.

Of course, the same is true for all living things on our planet. Reiki refers to this energy all around us and within us.

As a healing modality, Reiki practice is to connect you to this intelligence to heal and restore the balance of our body-mind energy fields. Reiki practitioner is a channel between a recipient and Universal Life Force Energy, allowing the energy to flow where the healing is needed.

Reiki is deeply relaxing, gentle, and empowering way to promote wellbeing in all level. It can work on not only physical, but also emotional, mental, and spiritual level, and helps restore the one’s natural ability to heal holistically.

Reiki originated in Japan, found by Mikao Usui in 1922. During his spiritual training in Mt. Kurama, he experienced a spiritual awakening which gave him a powerful healing ability. He developed the healing technique called ‘Shin shin kai zen Usui Reiki ryoho /心身改善臼井靈氣療法 (Usui Reiki healing practice for mind and body) which gained popularity in Japan. Usui also taught this technique and Reiki has been passed down from Masters to Masters. Now Reiki is widespread throughout the world.
