It brings up an interesting point. At what age should a child be initiated into Reiki. Certain protocols should be adhered to within Reiki, imo, this is easy for adults to do. If children are unable to grasp the validity or importance of protocals, should this have a bearing on whether a child should be initiated into something spiritual. Not saying this in association with your decision, it's just generally came up in my mind again.
I agree, this will be a good topic to discuss!
Yeah i understand your motivation, . BTW, did you check out in the QT manual about what i said regarding accessing ULE, and the techniques that need to be done in order for the practitioner not to fall ill?
Actually I am eager to get to that. Sorry, I haven't yet.... :-(
It's toward the start, centering around 'resonance & entrainment'. Qigong is similar.
I hear qigong this, qigong that! Now I am very curious to know what Qigong is about!! How come a lot cool RMs are into martial arts and similar practices these days??? atleast 48%, that I have come across seem to be involved in one of those! ( don't ask How I came up with that number )
Just because we access ULE in those disciplines, does not mean we don't have to follow certain parameters. This is where Reiki differs, as in technique. Question is, why? hehe.
That's nice to know. I also want to know what those are and I need to be reminded and reading the QT will refresh it.
Are you saying with Reiki you DON'T follow any parameters?
Reason why i picked up on the not using symbols thing you said, is cause it's widespread that Reiki folks at level 1 don't use symbols, or need them. Thing is, they do use symbols, and they do need them (they just don't need to know anything bout them). The symbols are active, in use, everytime you experience Reiki, or set it in motion for another. Why would we even initiate in level with them if they didn't? Some are also active, in use, at other times, aside from formal treatments/spiritual practices. The symbols are the reason why we can access our divinity.
Reiki 1 don't need to worry about knowing or learning or using symbols. The symbols work 'behind the scenes' and I am sure they are being used, again not with any kind of knowledge or acknowledgement from the practitioner him/herself but that's about it. Reiki 1 can facilitate healing without all that awareness.
Else, why would an exceptionally learned, spiritual man like Usui sensei not simply teach breathing techniques to access ULE? The breath has long been the primary vehicle to access ULE, and the most easiest.
Wow, Now that's very interesting!!!!!
Breathing techniques are used to access ULE? really? How? where? what?
What did I miss? Os Is is the QT you are talking about??
However, Usui sensei, in his wisdom, picked 4 symbols, for specific reasons. Through his spiritual experience on Kurama Yama, he has indirectly empowered us all to access the purest, most excellant aspect of ourselves. Our divinity. And this is because of the symbols, snd what they do.
If Usui gave us the complete perfect package, then why are people adding to it??
why different versions and branch - offs and more symbols??? I am not challenging, just wondering?
Let's say i wasn't initated into anything Reiki like. Let's say i had just done a QT workshop. Now, i can access ULE no probs, cause of the QT training. How does it automatically follow, that i can do some hand movements, pick some interested shapes & phrases, and empower others to do expereince what i can, but without using the breath, simply by placing hands instead? It doesn't follow, .
Yeah , with QT, it is not passed down through attunements and each will have to learn to do it on their own.
With Reiki you can 'attune' people and they can start ASAP.
Hmmmm.... ...You got Me!!
My point being, having the ability to access ULE, which is relatively easy to access, is not the same as accessing our divinity and expereincing Reiki.
TRUE, I agree!
different training, different processes, and the consensus is different expereinces. Reiki usually being labelled much more spiritual, than say QT, or Qigong. I know it differs from my pranayama also. . This is because of the symbols. And their spirituality. So, the symbols are vital to level 1, unless one wants to go up a mountian for 21 days, hehe.
Dude, That's very convincing...nice set of arguements! ..but I never fought you about symbols. I still strongly believe that Reiki 1 peeps can facilitate healing without a care in the world and that's all a little kid would need for a long time until he/she is ready to kick it up a notch.
