Reiki
Hypnotherapy and Reiki have similar roots. Around the time Dr. Makao Usui re-discovered Reiki from 2500 year old Tibetan Sanskrits (see article below), Dr. Franz Mesmer (the father of hypnosis) was successfully using similar energetic healing methods. These methods are referred to as Mesmerism or Magnetism. Even though most Mesmerists enjoyed greater successes than hypnotists, scientists denied the energy aspects, and eventually the terms Mesmerism and hypnotism became synominous. Reiki is an excellent means of reviving this healing art. Michael Bennett is an attuned Reiki Master and offers training, attunements, and treatments in Reiki. His services are available by contacting us here at Bennett / Stellar University. Reiki I & II training is included in Bennett / Stellar University's Neuro-Linguistic Hypnotherapy™ training program. Usui Reiki: Usui Reiki (RAY Kee) is a hands-on healing art. It is the transference of the universal life energy (Ki or light energy) through an attuned Reiki practitioner to a person needing to regain health or well being. A Reiki practitioner must be attuned to the Ki energy by a Reiki Master. The attunement process involves training in the history and proper use of Reiki, along with a traditional ceremony conducted by the Reiki Master to pass on the Ki energy to their student. Some spiritual healers have associated this attunement to the healing energy with the awakening of the Holy Spirit in Jesus's disciples, when he passed on to them the ability to heal the sick. John 20: 21 and 22, "Again Jesus said, 'Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.' And with that he breathed on them and said, 'Receive the Holy Spirit'." There are three levels of Reiki attunements:
Reiki 1, Reiki 2 and Reiki Master. Reiki 1 and 2 are practitioner
levels and Reiki Master is an instructor level. The Reiki Master
is intrusted with the passing on and upholding the Reiki lineage.
It has been said that while Dr. Usui was teaching a class in the Christian faith, a student challenged him, questioning him for evidence of the miracles of hands-on healing. Dr. Usui's inability to provide the student of such proof led him on a quest to find the hard evidence of miraculous healings that permeated not only Christian but also Buddhist traditions as well. He searched the Christian ministries and
found little information on how to do spiritual healing. He searched
ancient Chinese mysteries and found no answer there either. Dr.
Usui did find some answers from the ancient Sanskrit provided
by the Buddhist Sutras--promising information describing various
words and symbols. However, to prove the existence of hands-on
healing, he himself must be able to perform it, and he could not.
Dr. Usui, with his newly found information, journeyed to the top of the holy mountain of Kuiyama. It is here he would meditate and gain consciousness and understanding of the ancient scrolls. On the holy mountain he decided to fast and meditate for 21 days. To make a calendar, he gathered 21 stones, and with the passing of each day Dr. Usui would throw away one stone. On the 21st day, just before dawn, he threw away his last stone. Looking after the stone he had just thrown, he noticed a small bright light on the horizon rapidly closing and heading directly toward him. As the light hurled toward him, his fears urged him to run, yet something else encouraged him to stay. The light struck him unconscious, hitting him in the forehead. While unconscious, Dr. Usui saw the symbols of which we now know as Reiki, each one floating in a brilliantly colored bubble before him, golden and glowing. Then a great white light entered through his brow, and he heard the words 'remember, remember, remember'. Later, 'Yes, I remember', would be the first words Dr. Usui would say when regaining consciousness. In this way Dr. Usui, now Master Usui, gained the understanding of the symbols, mantras, and attunement process of Reiki. He himself became attuned through this experience and brought back this wisdom for others. Master Usui knew his searching was complete and that he would continue his life as a great hands-on healer, with the first three miracles of Reiki. These were: Dr. Usui was strong and vital the morning of his attunement, after fasting for so many days; he stubbed his toe on the way down the mountain and stopped the bleeding and pain by placing his hands on the injury; he healed the infected tooth of the man's daughter who first gave him food after leaving the mountain. Reiki is an example of the wonderful gifts that our Creator is willing to share with all of us. History is full of the miraculous, yet only a handful of people have seemed devoted and truly willing to accept this special form of love. Luke 11:13: "If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!" Recommended
