Creating a higher order through our lower parts

Reiki

Reiki means "Universal Life Force" in Japanese.

This life force can be used for healing, whether it be physical, mental, or emotional. A Reiki practitioner acts as a conduit for this energy. There are no secrets, only study and hands-on practice. Everyone can learn Reiki.

There are a couple of schools of thought around Reiki, the more traditional method known as Usui Reiki, and the newer Universal Reiki, a method perhaps more accesible to the west. TempleWhore loves any kind of Reiki, but as a group we practice Universal Reiki, a method available and understandable by anyone who would like to learn, and heal. There are many forms of energy work, and Reiki is simply one of them. It is a method of non-attached healing.

To practice Reiki is simple:

  1. Touch someone near you, placing your palms down on their skin
  2. Clear your mind, clear your body, clear your spirit, ground yourself, and let the healing energy of the universe pour thru your hands.
  3. Don't try to "heal" the person you are working on, let what is already existent and healing come into you, and out of you, into them.
    Divine healing and strength is there for the asking. What is Divine in you will greet what is Divine in them.
  4. Your hands will warm as this energy flows, and the skin of the person you are healing will heat up too. It's lovely.
  5. Move about gently. Touch over their heart, (and hey, touch your own heart too), their solar plexus, maybe their foot... Feel how the energy is different? Chakras talk. And they talk loudly if they are not full of trancey flow. Lack of flow can result in pain.
  6. Energy moves throughout the body differently, sometimes open, sometimes blocked. Reiki heals these blockages and takes away
    physical, mental, and spiritual cramping. And remember, as you heal with Reiki, it heals you as it flows through your system.
  7. Love the one you're with. Work through heart-centered actions. Play. Dance. Heal. Namaste.

The following images show the hand positions for healing yourself, and others. TempleWhore has come up with a special Reiki treatment that works down the chakras, and ends in a back rub! We recommend it to any tired soul.

For Reiki treatments, you may place the hands directly on the body, or directly above the body, on the subtle plane. Whatever feels most right to you. Try and leave your mind free of thought and worry, and just allow the energy flow. Heal and be healed. Love and be loved. Kick your day gently into a higher order.
