Lovely descriptions there sunflower and I can relate to all of them.....

what is Reiki to me?...gosh, so many things but ultimately, Reiki to me is Divine Love~~~
To me Reiki is:
A catalyst for realising our true nature,opening up to that deep spiritual essence that resides in all of us.
A tool for self discovery, self transformation, spiritual awakening and awareness.
An incredible healing gift which works on all levels of being. Which can transpire in a very light and subtle way or impact in a very deep and powerful way.
A beautiful state of being which makes us feel whole, happy, peaceful, connected, expanded and at one with all that is right and good in the world.
A soft warm feeling of pure Divine Love.......when filled up with this energy every cell in my being vibrates with that expression of Love.
A state of being which helps keep us centred and calm in a sometimes manic and crazy world.
A strange and beautiful energy which can help us transcend physical boundaries and limitations, yet at the same time keep us fully anchored as a human being in a physical world.
A very real and wonderful spiritual path Mikao Usui helped simplify in order to help humanity discover their connection to Divinity....without the limited dogmatic frills of man made religion.
An extremely simple yet profoundly powerful tool for direct spiritual experience.
Some people spend their whole life searching for direct spiritual experience....Mikao Usui helped develop a system where anyone and everyone can have that experience... regardles of faith, colour, creed ...
Reiki is a spiritual path which unites all peoples and offers the opportunity to see that at our deepest level of being we are all united in the Heart of the Divine.
Reiki helps us 'keep it real'....we can no longer get away with actions and words that do not resonate with our true nature... Reiki strips away the many external and self-made layers and masks we hide behind..It can be a bit raw and painful on occasion to strip off a new layer which we were convinced was 'our true self'.but once we get over the initial shock of losing another security blanket....our new and shiney self underneath starts to feel quite liberated.
Reiki makes us shine a big bright light into the deepest darkest areas of our personality..we may not always like what we are faced with..but with each aspect of our personality we face and peel back...the closer we get to the 'real' us.
Reiki is a blessing in every sense of the word.
When I offer Reiki in a treatment scenario to another person.....I feel truly blessed....it feels like I enter into the most beautiful sacred space......that sense of Oneness and Pure Love that flows and fills, is the most incredible experience. Everytime I lay a my hands on another to offer healing, it is me that is healed.....for that opportunity I am truly grateful. My heart expands and I often feel moved to tears, its just so beautiful~~~
Reiki is a state of being I have to foster more....the last couple of years I have been wrapped up in the physical world, caught up in the day to day running of family life...the whispers of my soul have been drowned out by the demands of family affairs...work..paying the bills....etc,etc, etc. But now family life is all good, that quietness has enabled me to hear the whispers of my soul again...*sighs* it feels great!
