Reiki,
an Instrument for the Return to our Spiritual Divinity
In the courses of Reiki that I teach I explain in very simplistic
terms about how we move away from our spiritual truth and divinity
with our emotions and our thoughts. These emotions and thoughts
are considered to be either responding in to life or reacting
out of it. They are our Yes's and No's to the circumstances life
has brought to us. We create our reality with our minds. So actually
we bring these life circumstances to ourselves to help us wake
up and to come back into our spiritual center. Reiki energy also
helps us to return to our spiritual center point and to the experience
of the resulting peace when we have essentially come back home
in ourselves.
This movement away from our spiritual center also
defines our ego. Our reactions and responses in life actually
define who we are. Our ego is the part of us that constantly creates
us being separate from all others. In our first movement away
from our spiritual center, we then start the process of self-
definition and begin the journey away from our spiritual source.
Because all people are in this same process we may start to experience
problems because our truth may not necessarily be their truth.
All individual beings are on their own journey of the self. We
often times become very fixed in our belief and will defend our
truth at all costs. This is also the reason for hatred, prejudice
and yes, even war.
I was one of the people who have received many calls to wake
up in her life in order to move me away from the pattern of reaction
that I had in place. This pattern was my truth as I created it.
This truth was not coming from the center of my spiritual essence
rather the place or foundation I had built MY truth on which was
away from it. My thoughts and emotions helped me to construct
all my very good reasons for not trusting people or life to fully
support and respect me; after all I did not respect or value myself.
For a moment let us think of ourselves like a bottle. When we
are born our bottle is filled with spiritual essence or light.
As we move away from our spiritual center to establish our new
truth we move away from the light. Our reactions are denser energy
than light so they fall to the bottom of our bottle like sediment.
The more reaction we have means the more sediment fills our bottle.
It could be said we are in a process of being in the darkness
of our reactions.
Our eternal search for the light, to be in the light of who we
are is one of remembering we are light and not separated from
each other. This "moment" of remembering can occur in
several ways in our church, a life transforming moment, or during
an initiation to the Reiki energy. These are just some of those
ways to wake up to our divinity, our spiritual truth. We are re
introduced to light or unconditional love. This is a spiritual
moment. Light, which has a much finer vibration, comes into our
bottle and reaches the sediment we have stored there. It brings
this up to the top to wash over, making more room in our bottle
for the light to remain. In this awakening moment we are in our
light and the spiritual truth of who we are. This experience helps
to strengthen us to continue the return home.
I see our life's journey as this. We come from the light, we
move away from it and then search for it again. Only we usually
end up searching for it in other people and places. I am reminded
of a story of the angels who were in charge of hiding our light.
One angel said I know where we will put it. We will place it on
the highest mountaintop that will make it hard to find. One of
the other angels said, NO, that will be too easy, we should put
it in the deepest part of the sea, that will make it harder to
find. Then the last angel said. I have given this much thought
and knowing humans as I do, I would suggest we simply put it inside
their hearts, they will never look there.
Loving through the compassionate heart we find what we have longed
search for, ourselves. In the center is love and in the center
is Reiki.
