REIKI AND SEICHEM

On 23rd August I was given the privilege of receiving Reiki/Seichem level 1 "energy attunements by Reiki Master Jana Rajnoch. Then on 17th September was initiated into Level 2.

You might well be asking what is Reiki/Seichem or have heard of it, but unsure as to what it does? Well I will try to explain and supply you with some understanding of these ancient arts of channelling of life force energy.

Reiki originated in Tibet and was rediscovered in the nineteenth century by Dr. Mikao Usui, or Usui Sensei as he is called by his students in Japan, is the founder of the Usui System of Reiki. He was born August 15, 1865 in the village of Yago in the Yamagata district of Gifu prefecture, Japan. Usui Sensei had an avid interest in learning and worked hard at his studies. He traveled to Europe and China to further his education. His curriculum included medicine, psychology, and religion. It is thought that he was from a wealthy family, as in Japan only the wealthy could afford to send their children to school. Eventually he became the secretary to Pei Gotoushin, head of the department of health and welfare who later became the Mayor of Tokyo. The connections Usui Sensei made at this job helped him to become a successful businessman.

In 1914 Usui's personal and business life was failing. As a sensitive spiritualist, Usui Sensei had previously spent much time meditating at power spots on Mt. Kurama. So he decided to travel to this holy mountain, where he enrolled in Isyu Guo, a twenty-one-day training course. We do not know for certain what he was required to do during this training, but it is likely that fasting, meditation, chanting and prayers were part of the practice. In addition, we know there is a small waterfall on Mt. Kurama where even today people go to meditate. This meditation involves standing under the waterfall and allowing the waters to strike and flow over the top of the head, a practice which is said to activate the crown chakra. Japanese Reiki Masters think that Usui Sensei may have used this meditation as part of his practice. In any case, it was during the Isyu Guo 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!

REI pronounced "ray"= Cosmic, or Universal Energy: and

KI pronounced "Key" = Life Force, Light or Chi (as in Tai Chi)

Reiki "ray-key" is a natural healing method allowing life force energy to be absorbed into the body to promote self healing. Universal Spirit of Life, or Universal Life Energy is the energy of life that we received at birth and flows through us. Stresses and tensions of daily living, together with our thought patterns, combine to create blocks and imbalances to the flow of energy. These blocks are reflected in the body and manifest as physical, emotional or mental problems or disease. Reiki can assist in relieving pain, bring clarity and focus of the mind, enable greater insight into problems or questions that are being experienced and frees the client to move on in their life.

Important to note that Reiki does not heal - it empowers the client to take the next step in their growth and development, their highest soul purpose. This is usually to redress energy imbalances and activate natural repair mechanisms, So the client HEALS THEMSELVES.

Practitioners are channels of Life Energy and cannot influence where it goes or to what purpose it is used (the giving of Reiki MUST BE unconditional). The practitioner can tap into the energy supply, trusting that it will go to where healing must take place for the benefit of the client.

The energy used for healing ourselves and for channelling to others so that they can heal themselves is the energy of UNCONDITIONAL LOVE which is the highest energy available to us.

Reiki helps meet the needs of the individual and society to be in balance and harmony.

WHAT IS SEICHEM

Seichem (saysheem) comes from the Egyptian word Sekhem (saykime) which translated into English means "the Power of Powers." Seichem is the four-fold combination of Reiki.

The Earth, Water, Fire and Air elements. It is widely believed that the origins of Seichem are the same as Reiki, rediscovered in the Sanskrit texts and scriptures by Dr Usui. It was rediscovered in the early 1980's by an American Reiki Master/Teacher Patrick Zeigler.

Seichem originally came from Egypt. It was translated and transcribed from hieroglyphs by the Shin Yon Buddhists of that time and taken back to Japan and India.
