Reiki and Tantric Magic’) NEW WEBSITE: www.ephesians-511.net AUGUST 2004, AUGUST 2009, MAY/OCTOBER 2012 R e i k i , a n d H o l i s t i c H e a l i n g WHAT IS REIKI? Pronounced as “ray-key”, REIKI is a Japanese word that means “Universal Life Force Energy”. It is a kind of ‘healing energy’ that was supposedly ‘rediscovered’ by a medical doctor named Mikao Usui in the 19th century. However, different schools of this ‘New Age’ technique have evolved, and, with them, several versions of its origin and development, differing in some details. Sterling Publishers of Delhi, in their New Age ‘New Dawn’ ‘All You Wanted to Know about…’ series of pocket-sized books on Alternative therapies, says this on Reiki which is “dedicated to the Lotus Feet of Bhagwan Sri Sathya Sai Baba” by Sumeet Sharma: “REIKI is a Japanese word comprising two parts –Rei and Ki, and these are Japanese Kangi characters. REI means universal spiritual wisdom or consciousness. The wisdom that comes directly from GOD or the HIGHER SELF. It is not only God-conscious but is also all-knowing. It understands each person completely, with the root cause of the person’s problems and difficulties, and knows how to heal them. KI means the LIFE FORCE, and this is referred to by the Chinese as the CHI, [and] by the Indians as PRANA… Anything that is alive has a life force circulating and surrounding it, but the life force departs when it dies. When the life force is high and free-flowing, one is less likely to get sick, and vice-versa. It animates the body and is also the primary energy of our emotions, thoughts and spiritual life. KI is present all around us and can be accumulated and guided by the mind. There is no doubt that Reiki energy is present everywhere. But one cannot learn Reiki healing by merely reading books, because one has to be initiated as a Reiki channel or healer by a Reiki Master. The attunement process is a sacred and secret one. It opens the psychic Chakras in the body, and establishes a spiritual link between the student/channel and the Reiki source.” ORIGIN AND HISTORY According to the International Center for Reiki Training [ICRT] web site at http://www.reiki.org/, the Usui System of Reiki is attributed to Mikao Usui or Usui Sensei [Sensei= Master]. “Usui was born August 15, 1865 in the village of Yago in the Yanagata district of Gifu prefecture, Japan. It is said that he entered a Tendai Buddhist school on or near Mt. Kurama ("Horse Saddle Mountain") at age four. He also studied kiko, the Japanese version of qigong**, which is a health and healing discipline based on the development and use of life energy. [**see earlier write-ups such as CONYBIO, Acupuncture, etc.] The young Usui found that these healing methods required the practitioner to build up and then deplete his own life energy when giving treatments. He wondered if it were possible to do healing without depleting one's own energy. He went on to study in Japan, China and Europe, and his curriculum included fortune telling. Usui was also a member of the Rei Jyutu Ka, a metaphysical group dedicated to developing psychic abilities. As a sensitive spiritualist, Usui Sensei [= Master] had spent much time meditating on the power spots on Mt. Kurama where he had received his early Buddhist training. So he decided to travel to this holy mountain, where he enrolled in Isyu Guo, a 21-day course sponsored by the Tendai Buddhist Temple located there, and during this training that the great Reiki energy entered his ‘crown chakra’. This greatly enhanced his healing abilities and he realized he had received a wonderful new gift - the ability to give healing to others without depleting his own energy!” Sumeet Sharma again: “Reiki is as old as mankind itself. It was however in use for a long time without any distinct identity. Information from clairvoyants like Michelle Griffith throws light on the origins and metaphysics of Reiki. According to Griffith, Reiki was originally brought to the earth by the GREAT BEINGS during the Lemurian times over 100,000 years ago. This was the first place where humans were incarnated on the earth. They had a GREAT BEING among them who revealed the secret of Reiki. Finally when Lemuria sank, the knowledge of Reiki was also lost. The Great Being also realised the problems emerging out of the negative Karma, viz. greed, lust, anger, jealousy and delusion. Reiki helped in overcoming these, and, being a perfect energy, establishing the connection with God. 1. NOTE: FOR INDEX, SEE PAGE 93 Reiki does not expect one to be spiritually inclined for it to work, because it is UNCONDITIONAL HEALING ENERGY. Reiki was again brought back to the earth by the GREAT BEING to the Atlantis city some 50,000 years ago… However, Atlantis also sank, and with it the treasure of Reiki energy. Some 7,000 years ago during the Egyptian civilization Reiki was brought back for the third time, and continues to remain with us even today… The clairvoyants of the New Age School of thought believe that Reiki is a contract between Mother Earth and God, in order to heal Mother earth and its denizens”. [New Agers believe in the lost continent theories, karmic debt, reincarnation, higher beings and spirit guides etc.] THE MODERN ‘RE-DISCOVERER’ OF REIKI Sumeet Sharma continues: “Dr. Mikao Usui was the principal of Doshisha Christian University in Kyoto, Japan… Once when he was asked by one of his students as to how Jesus Christ healed his followers, Dr. Usui could not give an answer… Ashamed, he resigned from his [job] and started his quest to discover how Christ had healed. He traveled to Chicago and studied there for 7 years and acquired a degree in theology, although he was unsuccessful in finding the answer to his question. He later traveled to India and Tibet, learnt Sanskrit, and finally studied the sacred Tibetan Lotus Sutras and found clues to the healing power of Jesus. He then returned to Japan and focused on Buddha as he was known to have performed the same miracles as Jesus. His journey finally led him to a Zen Monastery where he read the Sutras, writings and teachings of Buddha. On the advice of the monks, he took to meditation… “Fasting and meditating for 21 days atop a holy mountain near Kyoto… he received enlightenment when a golden light hit his forehead with the sacred Reiki symbols and he heard a divine voice… Dr. Usui ran down the hill in excitement and hurt his toe, and it started bleeding profusely. He placed his hands on the area of pain and the pain vanished in minutes… He went to the Zen monastery the following day, and on seeing a monk suffering from acute arthritic pain, he simply placed his hands on the area of discomfort, and the monk was relieved of the pain”. Usui was said to have originally desired to heal the masses, and first lived in the slums near Tokyo, performing seemingly miraculous healings on the poor without charge. Then, after a time, these same patients who had been healed returned to him, having lost their ‘healings’. He meditated on why this was so and how he could remedy the problem. He decided that they became ill again because “in any action of man, there should be an exchange of energy, thus Karmically releasing the other person from any debt that may take fruit in the future” [S. Sharma], and so he began to charge money for his services. However, Dr. Richard Blackwell who claims to have discovered and translated some of Usui’s own original notes in 1993, disagrees with the above version. According to him, Usui was neither a Christian nor the dean of a college. As a youth, Usui reportedly had a powerful vision. He then studied Shingon Buddhism which was founded in 7th century Japan by Shuichi and Kukai who themselves had been trained by Indian Buddhist Masters in China. Blackwell believes that Usui was a reincarnation of Kukai and in earlier life would have already mastered the practices of ‘The Tantra of the Lightning Flash which Heals the Body and Illumines the Mind’ known to Kukai. Since there was no living guru who knew the tantra, Usui began to practice all by himself and finally received empowerment. He poured water empowered by this tantra on his hands before healing. BEYOND USUI Dr. Usui continued to propagate Reiki throughout Japan till around 1926, and gathered 16 teachers, one of whom, Dr. Chujiro Hayashi, founded the first Reiki clinic in Tokyo. One of his students, Hawayo Takata, a Hawaiian widow was suffering from various ailments was healed through Reiki and succeeded Hayashi as Reiki grandmaster when he died in 1941. Before her death in 1980, she had created 22 Reiki Masters in the US and Canada. Today, Reiki is propagated world-wide by three major organisations: The Reiki Alliance founded in 1981 by Phyllis Furomoto, the grand-daughter of Takata, The International Association of Reiki [centered in the Czech Republic, Poland and Scotland], and The American International Reiki Association, founded in 1982 by Dr. Barbara Weber Ray [see below]. One of Reiki’s foremost proponents and author of several best-sellers on the therapy is Paula Horan [see below]. She has made several visits to India. According to Paula Horan, the Level III Reiki in use today is only the first of seven levels of tantric practice.

  • Reiki Energy Medicine: Enhancing the Healing Process by Alice Moore, RN, BS, Reiki Master Hartford Hospital Dept.Of Integrative Medicine, Hartford, CT
    Reiki Energy Medicine: Enhancing the Healing Process by Alice Moore, RN, BS, Reiki Master Hartford Hospital Dept.of Integrative Medicine, Hartford, CT With increasing frequency and confidence, we speak of Energy Medicine (also known as “energy work”) as if it was a new form of therapy for our patients’ ailments. Not so. Thousands of years ago ancient cultures understood intuitively what scientific research and practitioners world-wide are confirming today about the flow (or lack of flow) of energy in the body and, how the use of energy therapies can enhance the healing process. As well known medical surveys report approximately 50% of the American public using some form of complementary or alternative therapy, “energy work” is among the ten most frequently used. Research has shown that these therapies (often called “mind-body-spirit techniques”) can help decrease anxiety, diminish pain, strengthen the immune system, and accelerate healing, whether by simply inducing the “relaxation response” (and reversing the “stress response” and subsequent impacts on the body, illness, and disease) or, by more complex mechanisms. When patients choose these options, there is often a greater sense of participation in healing and restoration of health and, patient satisfaction is often increased in the process. It was with this understanding that Women’s Health Services at Hartford Hospital (in collaboration with Alice Moore, RN, BS, Reiki Master and Volunteer Services) began to integrate Reiki healing touch (one of the most well known forms of “energy work” ) on the inpatient gynecological surgical unit in 1997. Patients have been very pleased to be offered an option that is so relaxing and helps decrease their anxiety as well as their discomfort.

  • Buddha Energies Package Descriptions
    BUDDHA ENERGIES PACKAGE DESCRIPTIONS Blue Lotus Energy Healing Blue Lotus Energy Healing is a new energy channele by Ansara Moldave of PEI, Canada . There are two levels of BLEH and one symbol for each level. History of the Blue Lotus: The blue lotus (Nymphaea caerulea) belongs to the Nymphaeaceae (Water-Lily) family. Many ancient cultures considered the blue lotus to be of esteemed status. In Asia and in Africa, the blue lotus symbolized immortality in recognition of the plant's ability to survive and re-sprout after long droughts, and the seed's ability to remain viable for many years (Edwards, 1998). InChina it was regarded as a religious symbol, and a symbol of feminine beauty. Similarly in India it was compared with the human female form, and in their legends they believe that Brahma, their creator of the universe, sprang from a lotus-like blossom (Edwards, 1998). The Japanese saw a representation of purity and the juxtaposition of good and evil, and the Buddhist's have a prayer mentioning the lotus, "Omi! Mani padme hum!" which is interpreted as, "Oh!, the jewel in the lotus flower!" (Edwards, 1998). The Greeks also admired the blue lotus. They associated the flowers with the mythical nymphs and beautiful maidens thought to inhabit the forests and mountains (Edwards, 1998). Buddha Palm Ki Buddha Palm Ki healing technique is an advanced energy system that will activate and open the light of your palms and mind. There are 5 attunements that you will receive 3 days apart. All you need to do is schedule the first one and you will receive one every 3 days until all 5 are sent out, so they will take a total of 15 days to receive.

  • Evoking the Sacred: the Artist As Shaman
    Evoking the Sacred: The Artist as Shaman Dawn Whitehand BAVA (Hons) This exegesis is submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Arts Academy University of Ballarat PO Box 745 Camp Street, Ballarat, Victoria 3353 Australia Submitted in April 2009 The objects of [American] Indians are expressive and most decorative because they are alive, living in our experience of them. When the Indian potter collects clay, she asks the consent of the river-bed and sings its praises for having made something as beautiful clay. When she fires her pottery, to this day, she still offers songs to the fire so it will not discolor [sic] or burst her wares. And finally, when she paints her pottery, she imprints it with the images that give it life and power- because for an Indian, pottery is something significant, not just a utility but a ‘being’ for which there is as much of a natural order as there is for persons or foxes or trees.1 Jamake Highwater 1 Jamake Highwater, The Primal Mind: Vision and Reality in Indian America. (New York: Harper and Row, Publishers, Inc., 1981), 77-8. ii Abstract This thesis examines, via a feminist theoretical framework, the systems in existence that permit the ongoing exploitation of the environment; and the appropriateness of ceramics as a medium to reinvigorate dormant insights. I argue that the organic nuances expressed through clay; the earthy, phenomenological and historic ritual connotations of clay; and the tactile textured surfaces and undulating form, allows ceramics to conjure responses within the viewer that reinvigorates a sense of embedment in the Earth.

ABSTRACT Reiki is one of the complementary and alternative medicine modalities which have been accepted and appreciated, globally. Many evidence based studies have validated its role in cancer. Reiki can play a major role in changing the patient’s outlook towards life and increasing the patient’s ability as well as willingness to comply with physician’s instructions and adhere to treatment protocols. The goal of Reiki treatments is to strengthen the flow of energy through these blocked or disturbed pathways, thus decreasing pain and enhancing the body’s natural ability to fight illnesses and heal itself. It combats the nausea caused from chemotherapy. One of the major criticism is lack of scientific foundation. There has been effort to collaborate conventional and complementary therapies to improve the quality of future research.

  • How to Set up and Use a Reiki Crystal Healing Grid
    HOW TO SET UP AND USE A REIKI CRYSTAL HEALING GRID Crystal grids are another excellent tool to use. I strongly suggest that you research further into this topic if you are intending to use this method. Crystal Connection and Windows of Light, by Randal Baer are excellent for further research. There are two crystal grid structures that I have found that work excellent with Reiki: The Star of David, and Double Star of David. Both are used in the same way. The first is a layout of six perimeter crystals, the second has twelve. I typically use single terminated clear quartz for the perimeter stones. Both layouts also have a crystal, or a series of crystals located, in the middle of the layout. The terminated ends from the perimeter crystals are pointed in towards the center stone. Crystal spheres work the best in the center of the grid, though I have also used a double terminated or quartz cluster for the center crystal. These are very tricky however, and I would not recommend using them unless you work with someone who can see their energy and set it up for you. A charging crystal is also used, though I have found that when I am away for extended periods, I can use the distant healing technique to charge and empower the whole grid. Inside the grid, your goals or pictures (with affirmations) are placed. I keep a picture of myself, with several affirmations on the back, under the center crystal and place the others around it, within the field that is produced by the perimeter stones.

    Dionysian Semiotics: Myco-Dendrolatry and Other Shamanic Motifs in the Myths and Rituals of the Phrygian Mother by Daniel Attrell A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Arts in Ancient Mediterranean Cultures Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2013 © Daniel Attrell 2013 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract The administration of initiation rites by an ecstatic specialist, now known to western scholarship by the general designation of ‗shaman‘, has proven to be one of humanity‘s oldest, most widespread, and continuous magico-religious traditions. At the heart of their initiatory rituals lay an ordeal – a metaphysical journey - almost ubiquitously brought on by the effects of a life-changing hallucinogenic drug experience. To guide their initiates, these shaman worked with a repertoire of locally acquired instruments, costumes, dances, and ecstasy-inducing substances. Among past Mediterranean cultures, Semitic and Indo-European, these sorts of initiation rites were vital to society‘s spiritual well-being. It was, however, the mystery schools of antiquity – organizations founded upon conserving the secrets of plant-lore, astrology, theurgy and mystical philosophy – which satisfied the role of the shaman in Greco-Roman society. The rites they delivered to the common individual were a form of ritualized ecstasy and they provided an orderly context for religiously-oriented intoxication.

  • Radionics-In-Agriculture.Pdf
    Radionics In Agriculture by Steve Diver and George Kuepper May 1997 This article (slightly revised from the original) does a fair job of describing the routine applications of radionics to farming. It was written as a Current Topics publication for the ATTRA (Appropriate Technology Transfer for Rural Areas) Project. ATTRA is a USDA funded project whose purpose is the dissemination of information on sustainable agriculture. Visit ATTRA's Website at http://www.ATTRA.org. The use of radionic instruments for plant and animal diagnosis and treatment is gaining increased attention in alternative agriculture circles. While several commercial labs and consultants support this technology, little information is available through conventional channels like the Extension Service or land-grant colleges. Currently, radionics, and the related concepts of radiesthesia and homeopathy, are largely practitioner-based technologies. An exception is homeopathy, which receives some attention in mainstream medical journals. By contrast, all three are licensed, medical disciplines in the United Kingdom and several other European countries. Radionics is controversial because it is a metaphysical science. It is not recognized by mainstream agricultural science; thus, useful information is available only from select sources. Even within the alternative (sustainable, organic) agricultural communities, there is disagreement regarding its utility and validity. Yet, there are many reports of success among those who have given radionics a serious look; and the number of practitioners— farmers, gardeners, crop consultants, veterinarians— appears to be growing. The objective of this discussion is neither to persuade nor dissuade the reader regarding the validity of radionics. The purpose, rather, is to shed light on a poorly understood practice that is being adopted by a growing number of people within sustainable agriculture.
