Comments on: Reiki Hands or Reiki Meditation? http://reikihelp.com/blog/2009/02/reiki-hands-or-reiki-meditation/ Helping you help yourself and the world Wed, 16 Nov 2011 21:30:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Pamir http://reikihelp.com/blog/2009/02/reiki-hands-or-reiki-meditation/comment-page-1/#comment-2484 Pamir Wed, 11 Feb 2009 12:43:28 +0000 http://reikihelp.com/blog/?p=101#comment-2484 Hi Lola: The meditation you linked to is NOT one of Usui Sensei's Reiki Meditations. There are specific meditation methods that Usui taught. I detailed some of the fallacies found in global Reiki on this subject in my latest post <a href="http://reikihelp.com/blog/2009/02/modern-reiki/" rel="nofollow">Modern Reiki</a>. It's best to learn the techniques that are inherent to a teaching. Hands-on Reiki is invaluable. It's truly a gift for this world. Not really sure why anyone would not practice it, but there's a context around this. Reiki is the only teaching that I know which has this option, while being solidly based in the primary method of spiritual practice: Meditation. But this isn't any meditation. It's meditation based on a timeless understanding of Ki. What you may be going through with hands-on Reiki is that if you've only received the teachings of Reiki as an energy healing art, without its meditative grounding, the value of hands-on may become stale to you or the mind minimizes it. You may want to also take a gander at <a href="http://reikihelp.com/blog/2009/02/practical-tips-for-the-reiki-practitioner/" rel="nofollow">Practical tips for the Reiki practitioner</a>.

I'm curious to find out more about the Usui meditations, I just did a quick Google search and found http://usui-reiki.org/Silent%20Meditation.htm, which I may give a go. I love meditating, it happens very naturally for me and I miss it when I don't do it. This used to be the case for self-healing too but not anymore. The only areas I still self-heal are my solar plexus, throat and heart chakras, as this seems to be where my blocks manifest but not in a full body healing kind of way. I think it's important to be clear of blocks and respect my energy taking the time to keep it clear, but not through self-healing anymore. I'm gonna sit with this for a bit I think and see what happens. Thanks Pamir. In love, light and abundance x x x Lola Mmm some food for thought there.
