What Reiki Is to Me
Reiki is... universal life force energy. Well so... then Reiki is or
can be anything that lives. Reiki is and has been many things to me over
the 5ish years I've been a Master/Teacher in Seichim and Reiki. Some of
them have passed through my life like a gentle shower. Some have raged
and stormed. Some have just been there in a comfortable way.
Since Reiki is universal, which implies that it is in everything, I have
come to believe that Reiki is or can be anything depending on how we use
the energy. If one wants it to be a way to get a lot of money, it can
certainly be that. If one wants it to be a religion, it can be used as
a basis for spirituality. It can be a way to help out one's family much
like tucking them in with a blanket or giving first aid. It can be a way
to help someone heal his or herself from a calamitous illness. It can
be a way to honor oneself and others. It can be turned into an ossified
educational system that dictates the way people must behave. It can be
a gentle free-flowing way of helping people learn how to be themselves
fully. It can be an amazing little tool kit to get better radio reception
or to fix a broken gizmo on a car. It can bring one to one's knees by
giving one more healing than they think they can handle. I've seen Reiki
do all these things.
Knowing all this, then I see that Reiki is simply the infinite energy
we can create our lives, or our dramas, with. It's helpful to me, though,
to remember that whether it appears we're using the energy to create a
drama or a life of value, that we all are doing the best we can at the
time, and evolving and growing with the energy at our own rate. Maybe
if nothing else, Reiki, to me, has been, and will continue to be, a teacher
of non-judgement. It's still working on me. :)
