POWER OF MIND, REIKI

On Reiki:- During my career in Air Force I had the opportunity to meet Group Captain Navjot  in 2002, at Air Force Station New Delhi. I was impressed by the knowledge, he had on Reiki. Reiki is a  technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.  In fact he showed us few examples of how ailments like pain, cough and cold could be cured by Reiki practically. Of all the places, We had met as officers conducting a Court Martial. We had time to discuss on Reiki and I had the opportunity to learn Reiki. He could know the urge in me and gave me time to get attenuated. I even took my wife, son and daughter and got them attenuated to 1st degree of Reikii. My wife and children did not continue yet I attained masters degree of Reiki and started practicing on Friends and relatives successfully. (Attenuation is a process in Reiki where in one is able to give Reikii to other personnel as well guide them in healing). The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei which means "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power" and Ki which is "life force energy". So Reiki is actually "spiritually guided life force energy."

A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and well being. Many have reported miraculous results.

Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. It has been effective in helping virtually every known illness and malady and always creates a beneficial effect. It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.

An amazingly simple technique to learn, the ability to use Reiki is not taught in the usual sense, but is transferred to the student during a Reiki class. This ability is passed on during an "attunement" given by a Reiki master and allows the student to tap into an unlimited supply of "life force energy" to improve one's health and enhance the quality of life.

 Its use is not dependent on one's intellectual capacity or spiritual development and therefore is available to everyone. It has been successfully taught to thousands of people of all ages and backgrounds.

While Reiki is spiritual in nature, it is not a religion. It has no dogma, and there is nothing you must believe in order to learn and use Reiki. In fact, Reiki is not dependent on belief at all and will work whether you believe in it or not. Because Reiki comes from God, many people find that using Reiki puts them more in touch with the experience of their religion rather than having only an intellectual concept of it.

While Reiki is not a religion, it is still important to live and act in a way that promotes harmony with others. Mikao Usui, the founder of the Reiki system of natural healing, recommended that one practice certain simple ethical ideals to promote peace and harmony, which are nearly universal across all cultures.

To cut it short, I thought over and concluded that that there is an immense power in Belief. Reiki embraces healing through power of cosmic rays. It has wide range of teaching. one is that never give Reiki to anyone unless the person asks for it. The other one is that even the enemy of a person, is praiseworthy as he is useful in the progress of that person, as he makes him prosperous through challenges and confrontation. As a result there is a constant growth. Reiki believes in prosperity of all mankind. There is a prayer for all beings on earth to live happily. I found an immense growth in all aspects of life, after I learned Reiki. A person receiving Reiki also has to be thankful and sincerely reciprocate by showing gratitude.

I can firmly assert that I have gained a lot from Reiki. It is a good healing agent as well as a motivator.
