Reiki 1 is perhaps the most important level of Reiki that there is . Why? Because it is the re-connection process, in teaching you that you are a channel to the uncondional love and light from the Universe. Reiki 1 needs to be thorough in its teaching menthods to teach you how to relax, meditate, visualize, empower yourself and most importantly, heal yourself.
This is not going to be achieved over night. Reiki is not only a form of healing. it is much more than that, it is a path. I will give you a couple of examples to back up my views. I have been teaching Reiki for 10 years. In that time I have kept various case studies of various students who have either worked or not worked upon themselves.
You obviously would be taught that attuning to Reiki 1, your level of consciousness raises a vibration. Therefore giving healing to yourself assists in working with the new vibration and harmonizing the self.
Here is a case study.
On this particular course there were two students. One woman in her mid 40s who had already taken a Reiki 1 course, but felt that she did not get a good experience. (She was not taught to give herself healing in the 21 days).
So on this occaision she took a refresher course. Many of the techniques and practises taught on our workshop were not familar with her, which brings questions to the fore of what Masters and Teachers actually teach on courses.
The second student was an art teacher in a local comprehensive school. She had a creative block and needed to access her sense of creativity so she could teach fulfillingly. Other than that it was a friends illness of Cancer that brought her to the door of Reiki. She wanted to help her.
The workshop brought many mirrors and facets to the surface. Often self healing can bring up the feelings of fight or flight syndrome.
Reiki 1 teaches you to put yourself first. If I use the example of a plane crashing. The pilot tells us to put the mask on ourselves so we are in a position to help others. This is exactly the same. We have to be well within in order to be ready to help others. Reiki 1 teaches you to do something for yourself.
After the course the two students entered into the 21 day cleansing period. Here we ask students to keep a diary for 21 days detailing their self healing, meditations and thoughts and experiences. Within 21 days 90% of students change their life in a more positive direction.
They returned after the 21 days.
**The person who had done the refresher course had not changed.
why?
Because she did not work on herself
She was able to give healing to others, but not to herself.
She commented that she did not feel she deserved to give herself the healing.
**Mikao usui had brought in the 5 reiki principles after he realised that the beggers were returning to the beggers camp where he was working giving healing to the sick. The five reiki principles assisted in giving them self acceptance, and a realization that they deserved.
In our teachings we now ensure that we heal the students thoughts. Using the 5 reiki principles as a template we are able to heal the students individual thoughts assisting in a positive life change.
The second student , the art teacher, gave herself healing everyday and wrote a diary.
Her life changed considerably and enjoyed the sense of peace she found within when giving herself self healing treatments. Her comments were "Ive come home to me"
She found inspiration and created and exhibition of her works.
She found that she was able to work with students better and also projected out her dream of running her own retreat teaching art. On her personal life her life changed considerably for the better. She was able to say the word NO.
Interestingly many students who enter onto our workshops and courses, are PEOPLE PLEASERS. They put everyone elses needs before themselves-WHY?
This is often deriving from a need to be wanted, needed, loved or accepted.
This is why Reiki 1 is so important.
SELF HEALING IN THE 21 DAYS IS PARAMOUNT
