Reiki is conditioned energy, soul force, and spiritual power. It originates from the highest dimension. It is the vibration of love, harmony, and healing and it fills the universe as pure light. When everything else is taken away, Reiki is the universal design and blue print that maps and reorganizes. Reiki was discovered by Mikao Usui Sensei on Mount Kurama in Japan where he received a big Reiki Attunement from the Universe after 21 of meditation and fasting.
The path and practice of Reiki is a practice of awareness, and of moment to moment reflection of what’s here now. It is the practice of filling yourself with pure love, harmony and healing and transmitting it in its pure form. It is the practice of Bodhi and of enlightenment. Within this practice, we honour the Divine Essence of Spirit of the Universe and the lack of separation of ourselves from others, our local community, our global network. It is the practice of becoming one with the Universe and resonating with that which has always been.
According to Usui Sensei, the purpose of life is to achieve deep peace of mind and find true happiness. As long as you value status or transitory phenomena such as property, personal satisfaction or achievements, you will remain in a state of imbalance and will not enjoy peace of mind. Usui Sensei taught that we can become one with the Universe through personal enlightenment.
By following Usui Sensei’s teachings, one can advance towards Daianshin (Anshin Ritumei), the state of inner peace in which you do joyfully that which you must do. Gendai Reiki Ho aims to replace suffering with inner peace and happiness.
We follow the Gendai Reiki system that flows from Usui through to Doi Sensei. The lineage of Reiki is very important to us and why we have chosen to follow the Gendai Reiki lineage as we feel it maintains Usui Sensei's original intentions and integrity.
Reiki is a practice that requires consistency and softness, allowing integration into all the fields of life. Therefore the levels truly cannot be rushed. Traditionally in Japan, acceptance to the next level was dependant on how much the student was actually becoming Reiki and secondary on the healing ability. It is not a process that can be rushed or viewed as another modality to quickly obtain. The classes are gateways and openings that launch another layer of anchoring deep into the life. Time is needed after each class to integrate the opening, keep it open with self purification, self treatment and meditation and allow the lessons to unfold as it takes hold.
Please note that students of Gendai Reiki Ryoho at The Rock Store must take classes in order.
Students transferring from other lineages will have to start at Level 1 to be familiar with the texture of the Gendai Practice, receive the attunements and learn the techniques.
The classes are divided into levels, the first being Shodan, level one, where the first attunement is given; The attunement being the gateway to resonating with the vibration of reiki. This attunement to the vibration of Reiki will stay with you for life and no hard training is required to start healing. In Level 1, we focus on self purification techniques and develop a meditation practice to resonate with Reiki Ho. You will learn the 12 basic hand techniques and self purification exercises to strenthen the resonance with Reiki and ultimately the core of your being.
The extent to which we can receive this vibration depends upon our “receiving system”. Reiki resonates with highest human consciousness. Our level of consciousness which determines how clear our channel of reiki is, will determine the extent of our healing ability.
There are four levels in Gendai Reiki Ryoho unlike the three levels of the Western Shiki tradition of Reiki. Gendai Reiki Ho was introduced in Japan by Doi Sensei, in direct lineage of Usui Sensei as they were intended to be, as not only a healing practice of Teate Ho ( the laying on of hands), but as a path to Satori (enlightenment).
