CHAPTER 1
The Evolution of Reiki
Reiki is considered by many to be the world’s most popular formof energy healing, and its origins can be traced to a Japanesemystic named Mikao Usui, who lived from 1865 to 1926. Thereare many stories about Mikao Usui, some referring to him as aChristian minister and others referring to him as a Buddhistmonk. However, what I find important in all the stories abouthim is that he was a man who surrendered his ego, his life, andhis spiritual process to the Divine, often using the time-honoredmethod of fasting and prayer on his quest to rediscover theancient spiritual healing abilities mentioned in sacred scriptures.Through this deep level of surrender, Usui was able to access thisamazingly healing energy he called Reiki, a term which translatesfrom Japanese as Universal Life Force.
Reiki was brought to the United States shortly before WorldWar Two by a Japanese-American Reiki master named HawayoTakata. Takata taught twenty-two Reiki masters over the courseof her life, and Reiki has grown exponentially ever since. Today,Reiki can be found in some of the world’s more progressivehospitals, and continues to evolve as an energy healing systemwith many branches, schools and varied ways of teaching. Thereare members of the Reiki Alliance who stay very close to theReiki teachings brought to America by Takata. There is theInternational Center for Reiki Training in Michigan, founded byWilliam Rand, a teacher who has done a great deal of work tomake Reiki more accessible to the general public. One can alsofind many independent Reiki teachers who are not aligned withany particular school, but who offer their wisdom with an openheart and lead workshops in their communities to continuespreading this sacred light.
Reiki has changed my own life in amazing ways. As one whounderwent a very difficult childhood and spent the first twentyyears of my life extremely shy and depressed, Reiki has helpedme transform and move beyond my own childhood trauma tosuch a degree that my life is now very celebratory, filled withabundance and love. I have taught Reiki to thousands ofstudents, and I often receive e-mails and messages from peoplearound the world who repeatedly confirm the miracle that Reikihas to offer: an energy healing form that is an embodiment ofDivine grace, which can at times guide people out of the mosttroubled circumstances. These circumstances can sometimes bean issue related to physical health, but often can just as likely beabout transforming a troubled relationship, overcomingdepression, discovering one’s life calling, creating harmony atwork, and so forth.
I do not claim to know everything there is to know aboutReiki. For it is a vast field with many amazing teachers. One thingI do know from my own experience with Reiki is that eventhough it is an elegant and beautiful system of energy healing, itcan also at times intimidate those who need it most. This intimidationseems to come from several areas with respect to Reikitraining. Some students forget the many hand positions and theirsequencing as often taught during Reiki first degree training, andthus refrain from actually using Reiki on themselves or othersafter their training. Others may go on to second degree Reikitraining, but then cannot fully remember the Reiki symbols, someof which can be quite complex to learn. Others get confusedabout techniques for sending a Reiki treatment at a distance.Then there are those who are dedicated Reiki practitioners whomake it all the way through Reiki Master training, who thennever teach Reiki to even one student because they are too intimidatedby the Reiki initiation process. Reiki is amazing, and hasthe capacity to benefit each of us, and all of humanity. Yet it canonly reach the greatest numbers if it is accessible and userfriendly to all.
I must confess that, even though I have a reputation forwanting to make Reiki more democratic and more readilyavailable to people, I was probably too arrogant in my own Reikiteachings for many years. If a student couldn’t learn the handpositions, I considered them lazy. If a second degree studentdidn’t fully know the Reiki symbols, I thought they were not atruly dedicated student. If I met a Reiki Master who never taughtothers because they were intimidated by the process, I was oftena little dismissive and labeled them in my mind as somehowincompetent. Instead of seeing them with compassion andacknowledging that the road to healing and grace can be difficultenough without the added burden of feeling like a failed teacherof a complex system. Even though as a Reiki Master author I wasoften considered on the cutting edge of my field, I must admitthat in many ways I had yet to fully know the deepest teachingof Reiki: which is that Reiki is a gift from the Divine to allhumanity, not something anyone should have to learn tricks toperform. We are not circus animals and Reiki should not beconsidered a kind of reward or prize only to be made availableto those who have the best memory, or who are the least intimidated.
I have the greatest reverence for the Reiki system as it istaught traditionally. I enjoy using the sacred Reiki symbols andgiving treatments that require me to access the sequence of manyReiki hand positions. I love seeing when a student can draw thesymbols without my assistance. I feel great when seeing a roomof students all gently flowing this fabulous energy from theirhands, and all feeling confident in their ability to offer a Reikitreatment. Yet I know that this complexity which has evolvedaround Reiki is not the heart of Reiki itself. The heart of Reiki issimply an energetic embodiment of Divine grace, and that issomething which should be available to all, not simply thosewho are the most adept at learning.
Since my first exposure to Reiki I have known that Reiki isevolving. It is not a stagnant system as some might teach it to be,but is one which dances with our consciousness as we grow inour capacity to understand the universe and the Divine. Thisknowing has been with me since my first day of being initiatedinto Reiki, and has given me the gift of seeing things that arepossible within the Reiki system which may not be considered aspossible by others. I often talk to my Reiki guides and ask to beshown new symbols and new techniques. I test what I am shown,often demanding for repeated results to confirm a techniqueworks before I pass it on as a teaching to my students. When Iwas finishing the final chapters of my previous Reiki book, Reikifor Spiritual Healing (Crossing Press, 2009), I asked my guides ifthere was anything new to Reiki that could add to the process ofspiritual awakening, since the theme of using Reiki for spiritualawakening was the core teaching of the book. When I asked thisquestion, sitting at my computer in my office, I felt an opening inmy heart. The opening was huge and filled with Reiki light, andfelt to me like it was coming directly from the spirit of the lateMikao Usui, who is the founding teacher of Reiki. This ball ofReiki light opened my heart so dramatically, that I then asked itto send Reiki energy out to energetically bathe all readers whowould eventually read Reiki for Spiritual Healing at the time oftheir reading the book. Even though the energy transmissions,which are sent to all who read Reiki for Spiritual Healing, werecoming from this ball of Reiki light, I was told by my guides thatmy understanding of this ball of Reiki light was still far toolimited to actually teach it to others. So, I left out any mention ofit in that book, waiting until the time was right and my understandingdeep enough to make the teachings worthy.
I have since been experimenting with this ball of Reiki lightfor several years, and see that not only is it a higher and moreintense vibration of Reiki energy than most Reiki symbols canaccess, but that it is an actual energy crystal made of Reiki light,imbued with Divine intelligence, guided and overseen by thespirit of Mikao Usui. I call this Reiki energy crystal Mikao Usui’sReiki Crystal of Awakening.
At first I was unaware that this crystal held the ability to unifythe entire Reiki system into one level of teaching. I simply knewthe crystal was powerful and offered immense healing capacity.I taught a few students, mostly during workshops I offered atOmega Institute titled Reiki & the Magic of Awakening. Studentsseemed to love the energy and healing that this new Reiki tooloffered, and yet I as the teacher was still missing a big part ofwhat this crystal was about. It has only been very recently, afterOctober of 2011 when I taught a Reiki Master workshop atOmega Institute, that I began to see the immense capacity of thatthis Reiki crystal offers. Although the workshop in October 2011was a traditional Reiki Master training, during many of themeditations held that week I often saw and felt the presence ofMother Mary, who is one of my strongest Reiki guides. The spiritof Mother Mary informed me that another book on Reiki wasgoing to be downloaded to me in the near future, and that is thebook you now hold in your hands.
Should you decide to read onwards through the followingchapters you will be empowered to this new Reiki crystal, whichis a crystal of Divine Reiki light imbued with Divine intelligence.It has the capacity to send Reiki at a distance, offer Reiki empowermentsto others, and even focus Reiki during a treatment tospecific systems within the body, such as the nervous system orcirculatory system. It simplifies Reiki in such a profound waythat anyone can learn it, and can use it effectively. I am notsaying that there is no longer any reason to be trained in thevarious levels of Reiki, or to abandon the system of powerfulReiki symbols. However, I am saying that there is now a muchsimpler road to get to those same healing destinations, while stillusing the energy of Reiki in a form which is more powerful thanmany of the more cumbersome and complicated techniques ofthe past.
I hope you will step forward with me on this journey, onewhich holds the promise of making Reiki available to all, even tothose who are impatient, those who are self-critical, those whomight have a hard time learning the complexities of Reikisymbols and hand positions, but who are no less deserving of thisenergetic form of Divine grace called Reiki.
CHAPTER 2
Mikao Usui’s Reiki Crystal of Awakening
Mikao Usui’s Reiki Crystal of Awakening is the most advancedReiki tool I have ever experienced or known. It works from aplace of Divine grace and is guided by Divine intelligence. Yetbecause it is imbued with this deep sense of Divine grace, it isfull of grace, or in other words graceful. It is elegant and serenein all of its functions. Mikao Usui’s Reiki Crystal of Awakening isan energetic embodiment of all Reiki teachings, all Reiki possibilities,all Reiki lineages. It is all inclusive of all Reiki symbols, andevolves with human consciousness so that as new Reiki possibilitiesemerge, they are made immediately available through thisamazing crystal.
How this crystal works is also amazingly simple: it runs byintention. If you intend the crystal to send Reiki to your stomach,it will. If you intend it to send Reiki to your liver, it will sendReiki to your liver. If you ask for it to send a treatment for aspecific period of minutes, it will send Reiki for that specificamount of time. All that is required of the practitioner is toclearly focus their intention and ask the Reiki crystal to performthe requested function.
This crystal can also perform more than one function simultaneously,such as sending Reiki to your nervous system while alsosending Reiki to an issue in your past that might be the cause ofa specific nervous disorder. Or sending Reiki to your digestivesystem while also sending Reiki to a meal you had earlier in theday which may be the cause of an upset stomach. The crystal isliterally programmed by your own thoughts or vocal command,and guided by Divine intelligence, so that no harm can comefrom using the crystal.
If you are someone who is already a trained Reiki practitionerwho enjoys sending Reiki treatments to others, or even a Reikinovice, you can now use this crystal to send Reiki treatments tonumerous people simultaneously, again by simply intending it tohappen. Other things you can do with the crystal includeprogramming an entire treatment for yourself, setting theintention of the specific areas of the body where the Reiki energywill flow, how long for each area, while also including anyspecific sequence of how the energy might flow. Then once youhave set that intention you simply relax and enjoy the treatment.
All of this may seem far too radical for those who have beentrained in Reiki, who are used to having to incorporate the Reikisymbols and specific hand positions in order to attain certainresults. Yet this new Reiki crystal is truly a gift from the Divine,an expression of Reiki as Divine grace, which does not requireour wisdom, our intellect, or any expertise to be welcomed by itscapacity to heal and change our lives. Once you have beenempowered with this Reiki crystal you can use the practicesessions in order to fully understand how easily this new Reikisystem works.
The empowerment, which is made available in the followingchapter, will create an energetic Reiki crystal located in the areanear the front of the middle of your chest, a few inches in front ofyour sternum. For those who are familiar with the Indian systemof seven chakras of the human energy body, this Reiki crystal willexist in the area in front of the heart chakra. However, if you areunfamiliar with the chakra system, it is not necessary for you tohave any understanding of that energy system in order to useMikao Usui’s Reiki Crystal of Awakening. Simply know that onceempowered you will have an energetic crystal made of DivineReiki light, about the size of a golf ball, existing a few inches infront of the middle of your chest. You will most likely not be ableto feel the presence of this Reiki crystal, except for when you areusing it.
The way I like to think of this Reiki crystal is as a computerchip that is part of a Divine Reiki computer, capable of sendingReiki to any place at any point in time and space. Once you inputyour intention into this computer, through your visualization,your words, or through thought, then the Reiki crystal activatesReiki to flow as you intended it. It is very easy, very simple, onceyou become familiar with the process. And for those who alsoprefer the human touch aspect of Reiki, as it has been taught forgenerations in traditional first degree Reiki training, you willalso have the ability to use the Reiki crystal to make Reiki flowdirectly out of your hands. For those who are already trained asReiki Masters, you will find that the Reiki crystal can alsoperform functions previously unheard of in the Reiki system,which will be more thoroughly explained in later chapters.Mikao Usui’s Reiki Crystal of Awakening offers somethingpositive for all, regardless of your level of previous Reiki trainingor other energy healing experience.
The following chapter holds the ability to radically changeyour life for the better, should you decide to embrace theenergetic empowerment which will give you your own personalversion of Mikao Usui’s Reiki Crystal of Awakening. In myprevious Reiki books I suggested a specific number of hours onemight offer as community service as their energy exchange forthe Reiki initiations offered in those books, such as offering Reikito the sick or elderly, or sending Reiki to help heal the Earth. Yetdo to the unique and profound nature of Mikao Usui’s ReikiCrystal of Awakening, and that it is truly an energetic embodimentof Divine grace, my guidance tells me that no energyexchange is required for those Reiki students, new or experienced,who wish to be initiated to this new form of Reiki. It, likegrace, is truly a gift from the Divine, bestowed on any who wishto receive it. However, should you wish to give thanks to theDivine by offering some form of spiritual service to yourcommunity in return, that is also acceptable and honorable. Thatservice can be in the form of volunteering time for a worthycause, giving money to charity, or offering your new Reiki skillsfor several hours to those who need it free of charge. Please knowthis energy exchange is not required and should only happen ifyou truly feel moved to offer it, not from any false sense of obligation.
