3. What is Reiki?
It is Universal Life Force Energy. The word
Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei
which means “Universal" and Ki which is
"life force energy". So Reiki is actually
"spiritually guided life force energy."
Reiki is a form of spiritual practice, used as
a complementary therapy, proposed for the
treatment of physical, emotional, mental
and spiritual ailments.
4. Reiki is positive energy. It never causes harm to any
living thing!
I recommend Reiki for ongoing health maintenance; it
promotes strong health & prevents illness. You don't have
to be sick to benefit from Reiki.
Reiki is for everyone: it heals adults, elderly, babies (on
mother's stomach), toddlers, children, pets, plantations
and non living things like gadgets, equipments etc. In
short it is for anything & everything.
Reiki for pets? Yes, pets may be helped in recovery from
stress, separation anxiety, trauma, and illness. Treat your
pet with a dose of Distance Healing following doctor's
treatment.
Is Reiki Safe? For Whom is Reiki?
5. Dr. Mikao Usui developed Reiki in early 20th
century in Japan, where he said he received the
ability of ‘healing without energy depletion' after
three weeks of fasting and meditating on Mount
Kuriama. Practitioners use a technique similar to
the laying on of hands, which will channel "healing
energy". Practitioners state that energy flows
through their palms to bring about healing and that
the method can be used for self-treatment as well
as treatment of others.
6. Dr. Chujiro Hayashi is generally
considered the main disciple of Dr.
Mikao Usui and responsible for turning
Reiki into a medicinal practice.
Dr. Hayashi was a naval physician, and
employed Reiki to treat his patients.
Dr. Hayashi, stressed physical healing
and taught a more codified and simpler
set of Reiki techniques. Among Dr.
Hayashi's contributions was a set of
fixed hand positions to be used in the
course of a treatment; Dr. Usui often
preferred a more mystical means of
diagnosing the patient's problem.
7. Dr. Hayashi initiated and trained
Mrs. Hawayo Takata, who brought
Reiki to the USA.
Mrs. Hawayo Takata’s greatest
achievement is the transplanting of
this gentle spiritual Eastern healing
modality to the West. It stands as
her gift to humanity.
8. Mr.Haren Patel is a graduate in
Science with Micro-biology and
Post Graduate in Social Work.
He became Reiki Master in
September 2000. Since then, more
than 2,900 participants have
learned Reiki Level I, more than
1,800 participants have learned
Reiki Level II, more than 400
participants have learned Reiki
Level 3A and 24 participants have
become Reiki Master under his
guidance.
During the process of healing and
teaching Reiki innumerable
miraculous healings have
happened with many participants.

14. The levels of reiki
Thereare4 levelsof Reiki in theUsui System of Reiki
Reiki First Level – Reiki 1
(Reiki Basic Course)
Reiki Second Level – Reiki 2
(Reiki Advance Course)
Reiki Third Level – Reiki 3A
(Reiki Master Course Part I)
Reiki Master Level - Reiki 3B
(Reiki Master Course Part II)
15. First Level Reiki – Reiki 1
The first degree Reiki course teaches the basic theories and procedures of how
to work with Reiki energy. The channel through which Reiki energy passes to the
practitioner is said to be opened or widened through four "attunements" given to
the student by the teacher. Students learn hand placement positions on the
recipient's body that are thought to be most conducive to the healing process in
a whole body treatment. Having completed the first degree course, the
participant can treat himself and others with Reiki. The course duration is
typically two days, although this varies widely.
Details of Reiki Levels
Second Level Reiki – Reiki 2
In the second degree Reiki course, the student learns the use of three symbols
which are said to enhance the healing effect and allow for distance healing.
Another attunement is given which is said to further increase the capacity for
Reiki to flow through the student, as well as empowering the use of the symbols.
Having completed the second level, the student can treat people with Reiki
without being physically present with the recipient. The first degree is a
prerequisite for the second degree, which is usually taught over two days,
although this varies considerably.
16. Third Level Reiki or Advanced Training – Reiki 3A
Through the third degree, one more attunement is carried out and the student
learns a further master-level symbol. The first and second degrees are
prerequisites for the third degree. This level is usually taught over one to two
days.
Details of Reiki Levels
Master Level – Reiki 3B
Through the “Master Training", the student becomes a Reiki master. Having
completed the master training, the new Reiki master can attune other people to
Reiki and teach the three degrees of Reiki. The first, second and third degrees
are prerequisites for the master training. The duration of the master training is
usually around three to four days.
17. What is Aura?
In parapsychology, spirituality and New Age belief, an Aura is a
subtle field of luminous multicoloured radiation surrounding a
person or object as a cocoon or halo. An aura may be held to represent
or be composed of soul vibrations or chakras, and may reflect the
moods or thoughts of the person it surrounds.
Everything in the Universe seems to be just a vibration. Every atom,
every part of an atom, every electron, every elementary “particle”,
even our thoughts and consciousness are just vibrations. Hence, we
may define the Aura as a electro-photonic vibration response of an
object to some external excitation (such as an ambient light for
example). This definition is sufficient for the purpose of reading
Auras, providing that we can train ourselves to see the Aura vibration.
The most important property of the Aura seems to be the fact that it
contains INFORMATION about the object.
18. What is Aura? (cont’d……)
Aura around living (conscious) objects (people, plants ...) changes
with time, sometimes very quickly. Aura around non-living object
(stones, crystals, water...) is essentially fixed, but can be changed by
our conscious intent. Above facts have been observed by scientists in
Russia, who have been using Kirlian effect to study Auras for the last
50 years.
The Aura around humans is partly composed from EM
(electromagnetic) radiation, spanning from microwave, infrared (IR)
to UV light. The low frequency microwave and infrared part of the
spectrum (body heat) seems to be related to the low levels of the
functioning of our body (DNA structure, metabolism, circulation etc.)
whereas high frequency (UV part) is more related to our conscious
activity such as thinking, creativity, intentions, sense of humour and
emotions. Russian scientists, who seem to be about 3 decades ahead of
everyone else in Aura research, make experiments suggesting that our
DNA can be altered, by influencing its microwave Aura. The high
frequency UV part is very important and most interesting but largely
unexplored. And this part can be seen with naked eyes.

22. CHAKRAS
Chakra is a Sanskrit term meaning
wheel. There is a vast literature on
chakra models, philosophy and lore
that underpin many philosophical
systems and spiritual energetic
practices, religious observance and
personal discipline. Chakras
function and relate within the
systemic suite of the human body-
mind. The philosophical theories
and models of chakras as systemic
vortices of energy were identified
through the existential mystical
practice of yoga in Ancient India
where they were first codified.
23. How do Chakras Work?
A chakra is a center of activity that receives, assimilates, and expresses life
force energy. The word chakra literally translates as wheel or disk and refers to a
spinning sphere of bioenergetic activity emanating from the major nerve
ganglia branching forward from the spinal column. There are seven of these
wheels stacked in a column of energy that spans from the base of the spine to
the top of the head. There are also minor chakras in the hands, feet, fingertips,
and shoulders. Literally, any vortex of activity could be called a chakra. It is the
seven major chakras that correlate with basic states of consciousness.
Chakras are considered to be a nexus of metaphysical and/or biophysical
energy of the human body.
Chakra are often explained according to the protocols of evidence-based
medicine like accupuncture points. In some Eastern thought, chakras are
considered to be gradations of consciousness, and states of the soul, and
'proving' the existence of chakras is asking to 'prove' the existence of the
thought process. A mystic deals with these metaphysical concepts as a model
for their internal and external experience, and when talking about 'energy
centers', they are generally talking about subtle electromagnetic forces, which
connect to the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual bodies.
24. Flow of Energy into the Body from the Chakras
Incoming Primary Energy
25. Chakra Seven: Crown Chakra
Thought, Universal identity, oriented to self-knowledge
This is the crown chakra that relates to consciousness as pure awareness. It is our connection to the greater
world beyond, to a timeless, spaceless place of all-knowing. When developed, this chakra brings us knowledge,
wisdom, understanding, spiritual connection, and bliss.
Chakra Six: Brow Chakra
Light, Archetypal identity, oriented to self-reflection
This chakra is known as the brow chakra or third eye center. It is related to the act of seeing, both physically and
intuitively. As such it opens our psychic faculties and our understanding of archetypal levels. When healthy it
allows us to see clearly, in effect, letting us "see the big picture."
Chakra Five: Throat Chakra
Sound, Creative identity, oriented to self-expression
This is the chakra located in the throat and is thus related to communication and creativity. Here we experience
the world symbolically through vibration, such as the vibration of sound representing language.
Chakra Four: Heart Chakra
Air, Social identity, oriented to self-acceptance
This chakra is called the heart chakra and is the middle chakra in a system of seven. It is related to love and is
the integrator of opposites in the psyche: mind and body, male and female, persona and shadow, ego and unity.
A healthy fourth chakra allows us to love deeply, feel compassion, have a deep sense of peace and centeredness
Chakra Three: Solar Plexus Chakra
Fire, Ego identity, oriented to self-definition
This chakra is known as the power chakra, located in the solar plexus. It rules our personal power, will, and
autonomy, as well as our metabolism. When healthy, this chakra brings us energy, effectiveness, spontaneity,
and non-dominating power.
Chakra Two: Navel Chakra
Water, Emotional identity, oriented to self-gratification
The second chakra, located in the abdomen, lower back, and sexual organs, is related to the element water, and
to emotions and sexuality. It connects us to others through feeling, desire, sensation, and movement. Ideally
this chakra brings us fluidity and grace, depth of feeling, sexual fulfillment, and the ability to accept change.
Chakra One: Root Chakra
Earth, Physical identity, oriented to self-preservation
Located at the base of the spine, this chakra forms our foundation. It represents the element earth, and is
therefore related to our survival instincts, and to our sense of grounding and connection to our bodies and the
physical plane. Ideally this chakra brings us health, prosperity, security, and dynamic presence.
