In addition, Reiki has proven very effective in lowering blood pressure, reducing, managing and/or eliminating pain, calming anxiety, eliminating toxins, promoting relaxation and aiding with all concerns directly related to the nervous system. It is also very helpful for treating post-traumatic stress disorder. Darlene has been a Reiki Practitioner for over 10 years, assisting and training numerous clients. She has worked with a number of cancer patients, and she has found that Reiki is a wonderful tool for not only elevating the side effects brought on by traditional medical  treatments, but some reiki practitioners have even been able to cure themselves and/or others by offering this treatment.  There is now documented evidence, that tumors have been able to shrink and disappear, by using Reiki regularly through both traditional and distant healing techniques, leaving know trace of cancer in the body, baffling traditional medical doctors!

Energy work can never harm and will never interfere with your medical treatment. These deep healing vibrational frequencies will also break through old patterns, expand awareness, illuminate choices, and bring about deeper intuition. It will allow more space in your energetic field to be filled with light, in order to be able to attract more of what you want and allow you to clearly see what no longer serves you. It creates more space for you to become aware of the peace, joy, stillness and inner light that you already possess in your natural state of being.

Reiki has a very unique history.  Although the Reiki energy itself goes back over 2500 years, as evidenced in Sanskrit Sutras, and the writings of Tibetan Monks and Enlightened Masters, the history of Reiki as taught today is much more modern.  Evidence of Reiki from before World War II remained in Japan and has been rediscovered to the rest of the world very recently. 

 Reiki is a Japanese word meaning "Universal Life-Force-Energy".  Reiki is a system for channeling that energy to someone for the purpose of healing.  It was discovered by Dr. Usui in the late 1800's.  He was born about 1865, and there are two accounts of his discovery of Reiki; one being that he was Buddhist Monk and after a 28-year quest, he journeyed to Mount Kurama.  The other account is that he was a teacher or perhaps Dean of a Christian school in Kyoto, Japan.

   Additional Information about Reiki as shared by the Chopra Center:

Dr. Usui?s Reiki philosophy is simple and realistic, and includes the Precepts, or kotodamas, which invoke the energy of words. Here?s why the Precepts are relevant today and how you can bring them into your life.

Dr. Usui founded the system of Reiki in 1922, after seeking to share mind and body wellness. The system is founded on five foundational premises:

Hands-on-healing

Meditation

Attunements

Mantras and symbols

Practicing mindfulness through the Reiki Precepts

Although Reiki is often known as the magical channeling of energy through hands, it is seldomly known for its practical philosophy. The Precepts of Reiki are kotodamas, or sacred words that carry energy. It is said that by repeating the Precepts, you not only create intentions, but you invoke the spirit of those words.

The Precepts of Reiki

The following are the Precepts of Reiki.

Just for today, I will not worry.

Just for today, I will not be angry.

Just for today, I will be grateful.

Just for today, I will do my work honestly.

Just for today, I will be kind to every living thing.

Whether you practice Reiki or not, the Precepts offer simple teachings that can guide your day. By reciting them in meditation, or contemplating their meaning, you can ground the mind, align with higher frequencies, and live with more meaning.

Here are some ways in which the Precepts can transform your mind away from anxiety, boredom, or worry.

Helps You Stay Present

The phrase ?Just for today? reminds you to take each challenge one day, or even one moment, at a time. It suggests that you release the guilt, fear, and anger around the past and future so that you can truly experience what is right in front of you. Staying in the moment allows you to fully process life as it?s happening. You also begin to reap the gratitude, fulfillment, and joy of today, without wishing for better.

Anchors the Mind

The Precepts give your mind a framework to work with. It creates boundaries that guide you in managing your projections. As you recite the Precepts, they remind you of the ways in which you are blocking your own peace. They help you take inventory of the thoughts and feelings that weigh you down so that you begin to release them. The Precepts don?t place harsh expectations of forever transcending your worries, anger, and fear, but rather suggest that you momentarily restore the mind. This makes the Precepts approachable and pragmatic for the 21st century.

Experience Transcendence

The Reiki Principles, also known as gokai, help you shift from lower vibrational emotions, which cause stagnation and disease, to higher vibrational emotions. They remind you of the choice you have in releasing the old. You are not bound to the emotions that you experience but rather can shift your lens. While contemplating how things can be better, you can also be grateful. While acknowledging the hurts of the past, you may also choose to release the worry and anger.

Live with Intentionality

You create guiding posts for your beliefs, feelings, and actions as you recite the Precepts. They steer your day and the way you interact with the world. As you engage with Reiki philosophy, you commit yourself to live from a balanced mind and heart. Although you may not always be free of worry and anger, and hold compassion, diligence, and gratitude, you may notice that you are living with more purpose.

How to Bring the Reiki Precepts into Everyday

The purpose of the Precepts is not to invalidate the feelings that you?re experiencing, nor is it to bypass the challenges that are arising for you. Their purpose is to help you experience peace in the midst of chaos.

Here are some ways to bring the Reiki Precepts into your self-care routine:

1. Check-In with Your Mind and Heart Several Times throughout the Day

Ask yourself, ?Am I in the present moment? How am I feeling?? It?s important to remain nonjudgmental and compassionate with yourself as you practice this exercise. There is no right or wrong way of feeling. The goal is not to always feel positive but rather to become aware of what you?re feeling.

2. Start the Day by Reciting the Reiki Precepts

You may print the Reiki Precepts, and repeat them in English or Japanese. Allow yourself to feel the vibration of the words. Notice if they impact your breath, or body in any way. You may feel your breath deepen, muscles and joints relax, or heart soften.

3. Contemplate the Meaning of One Precept at a Time

For example, you may take one week to seek the meaning of ?Just for today, I will do my work honestly.? Ask yourself, ?How can I be more diligent? Am I speaking my truth? Do I live in my authenticity? What areas of my life need transparency??

When working with any philosophy, it?s essential that you develop your own meaning and relationship with what?s passed down to you. This will make engaging with the Precepts more personable. 

4. Make Your Actions Mirror Your New Beliefs

You can make your practice tangible by gifting a compliment or putting away work when the ego tells you that you have more to accomplish. Endless actions throughout the day can demonstrate compassion, gratitude, surrender, forgiveness, and honesty.

You may have an authentic and vulnerable conversation that you?ve been putting off. You may give your body the attention and love that it needs by taking a nap. Allow your actions to mirror the new beliefs that you?re establishing.

When the Precepts are practiced daily, in both seemingly significant and insignificant ways, you build your ability to release anger and worry. Your ability to exercise gratitude, authenticity, and kindness will strengthen as you check in with your mind and heart, recite the Precepts, contemplate their meaning, and let them influence your patterns. Dr. Usui?s Reiki philosophy is simple and realistic enough to direct your mindset and behavior.
