Consciousness, the Real Force

Consciousness is the symptom of the spirit soul. The soul is ‘conscious’. The vedic term for defining soul is ‘sat’ (eternal existence ), ‘cit’ (fully conscious), and ananda (full of pleasure). This consciousness pervades our whole existence, namely physic and psychic.

Utilizing the interaction of the material modes of nature, the consciousness forces the mechanism of the subtle and gross bodies to work, via the medium of the life-airs, pranas. 

Reiki - Universal, Cosmic and individual 

The creation consists of unlimited divine energies of God. Many of these energies are revealed through scripture - the Vedas - and through visionaries - drashtas. These are generally classified in three categories. Awareness, Energy and Conduction.

Reiki is one such universal energy, with aspects of all these categories. In the Tibetan ancient books, it is defined as Universal Life Force. It is greatest vibration of life energy easily available to a human being. Having a divine source, this energy does not exclude anything. It enables us to establish contact with the powerhouse of live impulses in our world, thus manifesting the oneness aspect between the Souls (another category of energy of God), Creation, and God. The basis for connection with this force is love.

All human problems are ultimately due to the illusory ‘separation’ from God, and the physical disorders due to the subsequent ‘separation’ from the creation.

Due to the separation from God, the living entity, to fill up the cavity of ‘loneliness’, inflates it is consciousness through false identity by independently trying to be the lord and master of everything that is perceived. This results in ‘fear’ of security. To ensure security, many seek temporary partnerships and resort to materialistic plan making. They try to find love and affection through power and position. In doing so, they always have to compete and safeguard selfish interests because every other person is trying to encroach there attempts for ‘peace and pleasure through prosperity’. This throws them far away from experiencing love.

Some others think (or are made to think) that they have to expiate the ‘sin’ to become fit for love and make God the order ‘supplier’, once more! They never succeed, because the seeds of their wrong behavior keep sprouting despite performing a million religious rituals.

Real spiritual practices can help one to transcend material activities. It will convey to them that they do have an identity which is constitutional, which has always been there through good, bad and ugly situations of existence. There are such processes and supportive methods.

Reiki is one such supportive method. The universal level of Reiki is the awareness, strength and conduction, combined into a Universal Life Force energy, made available to any one interested, through the wonderful organized system, by the founder-visionary, Dr. Usui. The world should ever be thankful to that Great Grand Master.

The world is the transformation of the energies of God in many levels of manifestation. The physical manifestation - consisting of cosmic mind, intelligence and false identify, are eight separated lower energies, whereas the spirit souls are higher but marginal energy. Being marginal, the spirit soul can either pose its consciousness on the Divine Pleasure Potency of God (hladini sakti), or on the lower separated material energy.

When the soul poses its consciousness on the lower material energy, there is a great endeavor to survive as the fittest, and to exploit the resources of the material manifestation. The more the trail for this exploitation, the more the involvement in its complexities. After a futile attempt to ‘enjoy’ there breaks out an ‘absolute’ conviction for ‘rejection’ of all enjoyments.

In both cases, either in exploitation or in rejection one is dealing with the manifested world wrongly. The proper way to deal is to only take what is needed and in a mood of love understand that the rest is someone else’s share. The cosmic level Reiki brings this awareness to the channel. It brings one in perceivable touch with the principles of Universal Love in dealing with the cosmic manifestation.

On the individual level, Reiki helps one to raise the life-force energy in them to its full functioning capacity. Even destiny starts helping by reducing the effects of karma to minor blows of ailments/accidents. In the place of fear, joy takes over. It is hard to even believe that something so simple in practice can evolve an entirely harmonious out look of life. The opening of the chakras effect a rapid detoxification process and allows the life-force to work in full swing. Relaxation results in higher vitality and wholesome revival of resistance. 

Healing - Self, Group, and Distant 

Once the chakras are opened up by the Master, the channel can daily practice self healing, placing of the hands in prescribed positions on different areas of the body, and drive Reiki heat in. The technique of whole-body healing can also be tried. In each position one can Reiki for 10 minutes.

Among family members and friends ‘group therapy’ can be practiced, Even if all the members do not have any particular disease, this can be done. In fact, It is more merrier to experience group healing.

After the second attunement, one can treat a person in absence too. If there is no strong relationship, and one is not able to concentrate without a physical presence, a photograph can be used. 

Disease - Destiny, Prevention, and Cure 

All diseases are results of improper behavior either in the present or past lives. The reactions of previous karma manifests in various levels of anomalies due to which the body is not able to use the life-force fully. This situation is called sickness. Depending upon the gravity of these anomalies there can be the requirement of different time periods for cure. For ascertaining this, one can refer to the Astrological science.

Having developed proper awareness of oneself, world and the source of all through the theory section of the Reikiseminar, one can from that time try to correct the behavior for now and the future. This ensures prevention.
