Spring 2003
Welcome …
to the spring issue
of the Reiki News Magazine. We've continued to improve and have worked hard on
this issue.. This issue covers a wide range of topics which I hope will inspire,
instruct and motivate you in your use of Reiki. The articles included in this
issue were written by accomplished Reiki authors and teachers who are providing
you with some of their best experiences and thinking on the subject of Reiki.
Here is a list of the articles in this issue:
Reiki
of the Universe
by William
Lee Rand
The cover depicts the wonder, beauty and mystery of the Universe
we live in and its connection to the source of Reiki. Dr. Usui said that Reiki
comes from the spiritual power of the Universe and this article invites you to
contemplate the origin of Reiki as well as your own.
A
Tribute to Beth Gray
by Amy
Z. Rowland
Beth Gray was one of Takata's first masters. She was a wonderful
teacher and a powerful healer and it is with pleasure that we feature an article
honoring her and the teaching methods she used. Of special importance is the fact
that she taught a unique method of using one of the second degree symbols in a
way that gave access to the client's subconscious mind, thus allowing the practitioner
to discover the emotional cause of illness which could then be used to affect
a deeper level of healing. This is a very useful article and contains many examples
of how to teach and use Reiki effectively. Included is a special message from
Beth Gray.
Healing the Heart
by Walter
Lübeck
The heart is perhaps the most important organ in the physical body
and the heart chakra is likely the most important part of the energy body. Love
is the central theme of the heart and it is through love that we absorb and utilize
all the experiences of life in a healthy way. The article Healing the Heart
provides deeper understanding about the relationship between the physical heart
and the heart chakra and gives advice on how to use Reiki along with diet and
other methods to heal the heart.
Speaking Up About Reiki,
How to give a Reiki talk
by Diane
Shewmaker
Being able to give a professional Reiki talk is an valuable
skill that will help you promote your Reiki practice. This articlei provides a
very thorough description of everything you need to do to develop and present
a Reiki talk. This is a well written article and will be very helpful to anyone
wanting to speak about Reiki before a group.
The Attunement
Experience
by Penelope
Quest
The attunement process is the heart of Reiki training and understanding
its importance and how it works is necessary if we are to derive the greatest
use of this wonderful gift. In The Attunement Experience, insight into the spiritual
nature and energetic workings of the Reiki attunement process helps us appreciate
this important and necessary experience.
Harmony Between
All Reiki Groups
by William
Lee Rand
Harmony between all Reiki teachers and groups is needed if we
are to effectively provide the healing the planet so desperately needs. Not only
does this have value for the health of the Reiki community as a whole, but when
one is in this state of mind and takes action to promote harmony between oneself
and the other Reiki practitioners and teachers in ones area, ones own Reiki practice
will improve as well! This article provides examples and outlines the steps one
can take to heal difficulties and help you work cooperatively with the other Reiki
people in your area.
Adventures in Giving
by William
Lee Rand
Travel in India offers many possibilities for adventure and excitement.
With 5,000 years of history, a powerful spiritual heritage and a mix of Third
and First World cultures, there are always interesting and often exciting things
to see and be a part of.
India has a population of one billion people,
and about 400 million are middle class with an income comparable with that of
Western Europe. There is also a small upper class of very wealthy people, which
leaves over 500 million who are poor.
Begging is a national
pass time and knowing how to help the poor in a way that is both benefical and
safe sometimes requires insight and creativity. Join William as his intention
to help creates an unexpected challange for which Reiki provides a unique and
exciting solution.
The Movie Mystic
by Stephen
Simon
The films discussed are not "reviewed" in this column in the
traditional sense of that word; rather, we look at metaphysical messages in films,
both current and classic. A chakra rating is also given to indicate the level
of clarity the film portrays for each of the 7 levels of consciousness. Stephen
Simon has produced such films as Somewhere in Time and What Dreams May
Come.
Reiki Stories
These stories, sent in by our readers
give real life validation to the practice of Reiki. Many include people who had
serious illnesses and before and after medical tests that confirmed both the existence
of the condition and the healing. They demonstrate the miracle working power of
Reiki and inspire us to develop our skill and use our Reiki.
I sure you will find this issue exciting, entertaining and informative. Please
let me know how you like it and I am also very interested in any suggestions you
may have for our magazine.
As we improve our use of Reiki,
not only do we help others, we also make the world a better place to live. May
your divine purpose be fulfilled by the creative healing power of the Universe.
Love and peace to you and the world,
