What type of Reiki do you practice and how does it differ from others?
I have been trained in Usui and Karuna Reiki from the teachings at The International Center of Reiki Training.
I am a Usui Reki Master/Teacher and a level II Karuna Reiki Practitioner. Usui is Universal love and Karuna is Universal Compassion. I implement healing crystals
and essential oils in my healing sessions as well along with spiritual guidance cards.
I’m not sure how it differs from other healing practices as I have only have used the Reiki method for healing. I can only speak from what I’ve been told in my trainings
and research. Reiki is a gentle healing that does no harm to the client and the practitioner. Reiki knows what needs to be healed whether it is mental, emotional, physical or spiritual, past, present or future. I hear with some healing methods the practitioner can take on the client’s energies and it can be very draining and in some cases make them sick. At any rate I still call on the white light to grant me protection.
I think when you are an open channel for energy to flow through you can’t be too careful. I protect the space, the client and myself.
I would love to hear more about your spiritual guidance cards…..
I use my ‘Return of the Spirit Cards’ by Cheryl Lee Harnish. The messages are so beautiful and empowering and the images are amazing. They are images using
fractal art which is very powerful, in and of itself! If the client is open to discovering
a message from spirit, I will have them shuffle the cards and set an intention before
our session. I set the cards on their heart Chakra while I am administering Reiki,
when I am prompted I pick a card. I most commonly do a 3 card draw.
It is truly amazing; there is no doubt that there is something greater than we can imagine guiding us. The cards I have picked during these sessions reflect what
the client is dealing with and what they needed to hear at that time. They may
have something to overcome, accept, get rid of or just confiming they are on the
right path.It has made such a difference for my clients. They really get a sense
that they are not alone, their guides, teachers and angels are watching out and
guiding them.
It takes quieting the mind to be able to hear what spirit is speaking and trusting, not second guessing yourself, even if you don’t understand. I find understanding is the booby prize, it makes no difference. It is in what we don’t know, where the miracles happen.
