Hello and welcome.

My name is Theresa Marie and this is my talk on Reiki,

The universal light force energy that is available to any and all of us.

Reiki is normally taught in levels or degrees,

First level,

Second level,

And third degree or a master level,

Is attained by performing attunements and undertaking more advanced assembling and methods.

There are several elements to learning and practicing Reiki.

That as long as you come from a place of love,

You can do no wrong.

You are beautiful just as you are and Reiki will flow with you,

Through you,

And for you to others.

Reiki is essentially a beautiful form of healing.

To properly explain Reiki,

Let's talk about energy.

Energy is at the core of everyone and everything.

Energy is all around us and it's an essential part of the universe.

It's a unifying element for the universe.

Unifying even within the scientific community who is now recognizing that there are fields of energy existing everywhere and surrounding us at all times.

With this knowledge in hand,

We now know everything must be energetically connected to everything else,

Including you and me.

We often talk about energy without even thinking about it.

Wow,

My kid has a lot of energy today or perhaps I'm feeling tired.

I don't feel like I have any energy at all.

We are intrinsically a part of the universal light force energy.

There is so much ebb and flow in us and through us each day.

We're up one day and down the next and it's because we're focusing on certain positive or negative aspects of our life that can constrict our ability to connect with our universal source.

Often pronounced Reiki in the West,

Reiki is comprised of two Japanese words,

REI meaning universal and KI which is the life force energy.

Reiki,

Universal life force energy,

Is a non-evasive healing technique where you channel the glorious energy of the universal life force through you and then to your focus,

Meaning through you and then back to yourself,

Out to someone else,

To an animal or even to an object.

This universal energy is not chaotic or happenstance,

It's intelligent.

Once you are able to channel it,

It goes to where you intended it and does what is necessary for the healing of the greatest good.

Our hands are integral tools for us too,

However,

They are not necessarily needed.

Reiki can be done with or without physical touch,

Stimulating our own or someone else's energy and our natural ability to heal.

Reiki can be performed by absolutely anybody.

It is inherently a part of who we are.

You might even wonder why do people need to get attuned?

You can perform Reiki on anyone regardless of where they are,

Including animals,

Plants,

Food,

And the environment.

Feeling the Reiki energy is based on personal experience.

Whether or not you can feel Reiki right now comes down to how aligned you are with your energy and with the universe.

It may or may not feel like anything and could take some time for you to actually experience.

It just depends on where you are in your own spiritual journey and how open-minded you are to the entire concept of universal energy.

This goes for both practitioners as well as recipients of Reiki,

Whether you're feeling it easily or not.

The first step to be able to feel Reiki is to simply be open to the process.

And what I mean by that is to not have to focus on the thought of,

Oh geez,

I can't feel anything or sitting in anticipation.

Instead,

Let's keep our mind and heart open,

Quiet and still.

The Reiki will come.

Relax and get comfortable in position,

Perhaps seated,

Placing both of your hands on their respective thighs,

Face up in the receiving mode.

You can visualize with your mind's eye.

You can see the energy of the universe pouring into your head.

It might look like you're sitting underneath a soft,

Glowing waterfall whose source is from the stars above.

That's the energy filling your body up with radiance.

You can look at your left hand and imagine bright rays of light coming out of it.

You can shift your eyes over to your right palm and see energy moving and dancing magically.

With your visualization,

You can complete your eye movement from your left to your right hand,

Simulating the movement of energy between the two.

Once you're ready,

Rub your hands together robustly for a few moments and now hold them apart just a few centimeters or inches as if you're holding the most beautiful ball of light.

You could feel like this invisible box or ball that you're holding is pushing light with your hands together or maybe a bit of a bounce or resistance away.

That's the Reiki energy.

You can now pull your hands slightly further apart,

Shifting them up or down or pushing them back in together,

Feeling the Reiki stretch and pull through your hands.

Once you've completed this little bit of energy play,

Go back to the original position of holding your hands a few centimeters or inches apart.

You should now be able to feel the energy compress.

Reiki can release emotions for all parties involved,

Both positive and negative,

Even in this early stage.

The key here is to feel it and then let it go.

Remember,

Reiki is a natural part of us.

It's only working for our highest and greatest good.

If you experience a Reiki releasing emotions during this exercise,

Allow it and give yourself grace.

It's important to note that you shouldn't use or transfer your own energy when performing Reiki.

This is where the visualization comes in and it's so extremely important.

It helps us focus channeling this universal light force energy through us as opposed to using our own energy.

The visualization connects you with Reiki,

Welcomes it into you so that you can then allow it to flow through you,

Through your body and then out through your hands.

Try using your own energy reserves and it will simply exhaust you.

So please learn with a professional to visualize and utilize the universal Reiki light force energy and thereby protecting your own.

In preparing for feeling this energy,

We sometimes need to learn to let go.

The outcomes of your healings might not always go the way you think they would.

Your purpose is to connect with the universal energy,

To show your intention and then let go so that it can flow through you and out toward the recipient which could also be yourself.

Let go of any expectations or outcomes that you may have for Reiki.

Trust that the universal energy is going directly where it's meant to go which may or may not be the same as your intention.

We can practice letting go this way.

I usually put my hands in prayer position with my eyes closed and sit for several moments to clear my mind.

You don't have to use the prayer hand position if you're not comfortable with that.

I then visualize myself or the recipient that this energy is intended for and say either in my mind or out loud one of these following intentions.

Please let this energy go just as it should or flow through me to resolve the energy for someone's name you can insert or please allow this energy to serve myself for my highest good or insert someone's name there.

There are five Reiki principles that we live our life by as Reiki masters.

The principles of Reiki are quite simple at first glance but to follow the principles and live your life by them is much harder than many think.

The following Reiki principles or precepts are taken directly from U.

C.

Sensei's Reiki Handbook.

Do not be angry.

Be grateful.

Do your work earnestly and with diligence.

Do not worry.

Be kind to every living thing and every evening you can join your hands in meditation and prayer and with your heart stating your mind and chant with your mouth the five Reiki principles.

I hope that this talk on Reiki has been beneficial to you and that you understand the natural cycle of Reiki's powers.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Namaste.
