This is a loaded question. First, there are many kinds of 'Reiki' out there - and new ones being invented every day. The Reiki that was taught by Usui-San in the 1920's is very different from the Reiki that we have today. Reiki evolved from a spiritual/philosophical practice and has now become a hands on healing modality. \n\nOn Usui's own memorial inscription its states that 'anyone can access reiki because it begins within each of us.' In an interview in 1922, Usui went on to state that he 'received no special gift or empowerment.'\n\nThe attunements that Usui did were spiritual blessings or Recognition - denoting that the student had learned a certain body of knowledge that Usui was trying to convey (called Reiju). These Reiju did not confer the ability to access Reiki - practice and study by the student did.\n\nDr. Hayashi would change this attunement process into a vehicle that delivered the gift of reiki itself (called Denju). Lastly, Takata would change it again and bring it to the USA - as the Reiki gift itself.\n\nMost Reiki teachers today follow the Takata teachings and believe strongly in the attunement process to convey Reiki ability. \n\nIn order to be able to access 'Reiki' on your own, you would have to undergo extensive training in matters relating to the spirit and mind - the average person would not be able to achieve this - especially today. It is much easier just to receive modern attunements / empowerments.

If you are going to start your own business, you really need to put more of an emphasis on your written word.  It is unclear as to what you're asking.\n\nWhile I'm not a practitioner, I am also certified in Reiki and Bodywork.  Perhaps if you rephrase your question, I'll be able to help.

Mikao Usui's Reiki method spread widely. Correspondence courses over the Internet even offer distance training. To achieve a complete education in the "Usui method of Reiki Healing," three courses are necessary: the 1st degree course, the 2nd degree course, and the master course. The specific content of each of these courses varies widely from one teacher to another, depending on personal philosophies. A typical set of courses is something like the following:\n\nFirst Degree Reiki courses teach the basic theories of how to work with Reiki energy. The channel through which Reiki energy passes to the practitioner is said to be widened through an initiation by the teacher, permitting the Reiki energy be strong enough to effect healing. Students learn hand placement positions on the recipient's body that are thought to be most conducive to the healing process.\n\nIn the Second Degree Reiki course, a symbol for mental healing is taught, enabling students to purportedly treat even deeply ingrained problems like fears, depression, addictions, and the like. Students are instructed on how to direct Reiki energy to a certain point in time, to a specific person or place, or a specific issue. The issue can be something like an individual's particular health problem, or it can be a more abstract or general issue such as world peace. Practitioners say that this is possible using three symbols taught at the second initiation. The claim is that this skill allows the Reiki channel to be opened even wider.\n\nAs part of the master course, usually the Third Degree, students become a Reiki "master" through the third initiation; they learn how to initiate students and have the option of teaching Reiki courses themselves. The student learns a further "master" level symbol in this course as well as the method of attuning others. In some cases the third level is broken into smaller stages of attunements from the teacher; the attunements for the first, second, and third level may also be administered in stages. A teacher has completed practical training when told that he or she has the ability to attune others to all degrees and has been given the final fourth Reiki Master symbol that is used in attunements.

If you live in Seattle you are in luck, there is supposed to be an underground school somewhere over there. I think you're fascinated about it and want to learn more because you just say ninjutsu so widely. There are 19 main branches and 100's of sub categories. Go to wikipedia and learn more about them. When you find the one you want research it on Yahoo. If you have questions on the meditation aspect or some basic techniques email me.

There is Wicca.  You can start there and decide which path you want to take.  For the written word I would look for Scott Cunningham and Raymond Buckland.  Both are wonderful for descriptions and simple to more involved rituals.  With Mr. Cunningham I would start with the book "Wicca for the Solitary Practitioner", as for Mr. Buckland I would suggest "The Complete Book Of Witchcraft".  Another really good author is Starhawk and the book entitled "The Spiral Dance".\n\nAnd you can go from there.  You are correct that there are MANY different religions under the umbrella of Pagan.  You will discover which is right for you, it will just seem right.   If you are looking for an on-line study course I would suggest Circle of Stars.  It is a yahoo group with a bunch of wonderful people for teachers and mentors.  I wish you luck on your path and the brightest of blessings.   :)\n\nSo I'm not the only Pagan around...glad to see you all.  :)

I have been involved with Reiki for well over 10 years. I actively participate in Reiki healing circles and exchanges. I also offer Reiki treatments to others. \n\nDifferent people experience different things. Some people feel the practitioners hands get hot. Others feel the practitioners hands get cold. others feel vibration or movement where there is none. Some people are in-tune enough (for lack of a better word) to feel 'energy'. Others feel nothing at all.\n\nDifferent people come away from a Reiki session with different experiences. Some people come away feeling refreshed and relaxed, others come away feeling improvement over their ills (colds, aches, pains). Others fall asleep, some have visions or out of body experiences. Some people go through a type of mini-detox, where they get alittle sick while their body flushes out waste that the Reiki moves. \n\nI have worked with many that have had significant emotional release during a Reiki session. This happens when repressed emotions, thoughts, and feelings are brought to the surface to be faced again. This type of things isnt always pleasent but is part of the healing process. \n\nSome feel nothing at all.\n\nMost of the time, just like in meditation, the desire for results can cloud the results themselves - as can skepticism. Also, wanting to prove that Reiki does or does not work will also greatly effect the outcome. The client has to open themselves up to the potential for Reiki and just let it do its thing.

No, but if you were trying to learn without a teacher, you might look for a teacher first.

Reiki (ray-key) means "Universal Life Force Energy" and is a laying-on of hands healing technique thousand of years old. It is a Tibetan Buddhist practice that was rediscovered in the 1800's by Dr. Mikao Usui. Reiki is the natural healing energy that flows through all living things and sustains life. Reiki is passed on from master to student through initiations or attunements. A Reiki practitioner is simply a channal for the energy to flow through, allowing the person to heal themselves. Going from the hands of the practitioner into the body of whoever is willing to recieve the energy. \n\nReiki brings balance to the mind and body and helps with the physical, spiritual and emotional areas of our lives . Reiki is unlimited in quantity. It is self healing, brings harmony to ones life, balances the chakras and strengthens your overall well-being. Since Reiki balances and is cleansing and works on all levels, the effects of recieving Reiki vary widely. Ranging from an increase in energy levels to an outpouring of emotions to a total understanding of what ones life purpose is. It's very indivisual and is always good because Reiki can only be given with love and the greatest of intentions. Any other way will not work. Reiki is not a religion and does not affiliate with any doctrines. It does not interfere with modern medical treatments but rather speeds up the healing process, giving the indivisual the needed healing energy to recover. The benefits of Reiki are: \n\nSupports the body's natual healing ability\n\nStrengthens intuition\n\nPromotes relaxation\n\nTreats causes of illnesses\n\nRelieves pain \n\nMany more

Remember that Reiki is "Universal Life Energy". Whenever you share your compassion with the purpose of healing someone; Reiki works for the best outcome for Love to be expressed and realized. There is no danger in Loving someone so there no danger sharing Reiki with someone.

Learning the Art of Hypnosis is easy.  You are talking about a state that we visit naturally several times a day.  It is something that you already do.  What you are trying to learn is how to do it in a more formalized manner.  \n\nThere are several books, tapes and CDs.  Your local library probably has a few of these.  Most are pretty good.  Personally I like the books by Roy Hunter.  There are several schools.  Personally I think schools are the best if they give you supervised practice.\n\nWhat most folks do is learn self hypnosis first.  If you practice on yourself, transferring this skill so you can hypnotize others is not hard.  Learning self hypnosis is very easy.  There are several web sites and other media that can be used to help you learn.  A session with an experienced hypnotist can teach you as well.\n\nYou might check this link out.  It is the FAQ for alt.hypnosis, a long standing news group.  Personally, wouldn't visit the group but the FAQ have been developed over several years and will answer most questions.\n\nhttp://www.royhunter.com/hypnofaq.htm

Yes it does. Reiki will balance the chakras (energy centers) and with this energy balanced will help the patient get out of that depression, you have to be careful an actually know how to care of that patient, if there is depression there will be emotional baggage coming out so you will have to be ready to help that patient. if that patient is willing meditation will help as well. Good luck and god bless.

You are looking for someone who does both Reiki and therapy?\nHartford Family Institute has several therapists who I believe also do Reiki. Some of them take insurance. You'd have to call for specifics on each person.\nIf you're just looking for Reiki, I live in Wallingford which is about 20 miles from Hartford.

You could practice on your own but you will need an instructor to really correct things.  A good website is www.kendo-world.com You can find a lot of info there as well as some videos!

There are books yes. Well there is a place nearby where I live that sells martial arts supplies such as swords, dvds, books, weapons, training manuals, weapons kits, and so on. It wouldn't be wise to do it on your own, but you can. I have a friend that has developed styles from watching others, he is quite skilled at martial arts.\nwww.wle.com

tarot cards are a real tool for those who know how to use them. there is ALOT involved in the study of tarot... but i am not certain it's something you can study and learn... i think it is more of an intuitive thing powered by unseen entities.

Receiving an attunement (from a skilled Master, not just anyone on the internet who says "Pay me money and I'll attune you") involves a one to full days of training. While you can't really hurt someone with Reiki, you can bring their energy out of balance, so you really do need training on how to molve that energy through their system. \nFor example: If you move your hands from the top of the head down to the pelvis, that can depleat the engery of someone. If you move your hands in the opposite direction the energy increases. \n\nEnjoy your Reiki sessions for yourself, but if you want to do more with Energy healing, try Reiki or another modality. There are others than Reiki, like Pranic Healing (Master Cho), Energy Medicine (Dona Eden), and many more. Find the right modality for you before you choose to get training in one.
