Today is Pentecost. I was surprised when attending Church today, I had no idea it was today! I was delighted and in awe to hear that today was pentecost and upon entering the Church saw the flaming red colors and the flames of the Holy Spirit decorating the entire church. The reason I was so delighted and excited is because yesterday in the midst of my art show I felt my hands "heat up" and I have not felt this in a very long time. I immediately said to myself "this is reiki," but because I have been struggling with identifying the title of reiki I also thought "holy spirit" Today I know that it being the eve of Pentecost yesterday this sensation was the Holy Spirit. This brings up the subject of Reiki, or perhaps i should say the title of reiki. Being a reiki master and seeing amazing results from my clients i had never questioned reiki. As of recently I began to question reiki. But I believe I am only questioning the title of reiki and the association of other new age practices with reiki. I know that anything organized by humans has a corrupt nature. We humans always seem to have a way of organizing corruption! If it is human there is room for error. The system of reiki has much room for error. Because it is a system. Because it is organized. Because it has been hijacked by the new age movement. These are the reason reiki has room for error. But the most important reason reiki becomes corrupted and misused is beauce Jesus Christ/the holy spirit has been quietly removed from this system of healing. Is it necessary to make a "system" out of healing? To me healing is a gift from God /the Holy Spirit. We humans often forget we are more than these bodies. We are made of energy. We can see this energy, measure it. So could it be that there is more to this than simply "judging" reiki and other healing practices? God is so vast, so amazing, so incredible, can we fit God in any "box" or "system". I say No. We cannot. But we also need to be aware we can do nothing without Jesus Christ. So I am approaching "reiki" in a different manner. Its difficult to explain my heart here but on this journey i'm on I will continue to post my thoughts here.
We humans have a great challenge. We are to recognize God within everyone and everything but at the same time we are to know God is above all things while being in all things! But at some moments I know this. Other moments my ego grows and I think I am divine because I am human. But no, my future "divine" nature will only be because of God/Jesus/Holy Spirit. We are all children and creations of God so because we are part of God we see the spark of divinity. But we will never "be" God. Maybe this is where the danger can creep in with reiki. We need to always know that all healing is from God and only through God can this healing occur. We can ask for this healing and it may not be there at that exact moment. Because God's time is not our time. So some days I am led to believe reiki is a counterfeit. Healing and hot hands are also signs of the holy spirit. So my question today is this: do we need "attunements" to receive these powerful hot healing hands? Are there different ways to be "attuned" and when Mikao Usui received the symbols and began his system of reiki was this the holy spirit or a counterfeit? I would love to hear your ideas. In the meantime, I will continue on knowing God has blessed me with healing energy and I will try to heal anyone in need. But I will do this healing in the name of Jesus Christ. Have a blessed day. :)
