Beginner Reiki

[Divine Consciousness]

I did try reiki only in numbers.

[Divine Consciousness]

My crude try is while attaining breathe meditation I remember God. This meditation starts with pray to heal person or solve his/her problem.
You know very little is achieved coz I am not master in reiki.

If you are a healer no training is needed, as you start to open your heart it will then start to flow naturally out of you. In The Blossoming Lotus (Tantra) it is said that True Powers flow from and open and receptive Heart. Note that the Heart and the Anahata is two separate things. The Heart is known as the Hrit Chakra:

Hrit (heart) chakra or Hridaya (he who dwells in the heart) is also known as ananda kanda (root or blub of bliss).

In my teachings there are no chakras (no wheels that makes the world turn around), so in The Blossoming Lotus you would know the Heart as the Hrit Lotus, and the goal as with all Lotuses is to make it blossom. So my advise is to start exploring your heart and what it desires, maybe try different forms of healing on yourself to see what resonates

I joined a yahoo reiki group years ago and they offer self study and discussion groups and free attunements to level 1 and 2. I felt the energies they've described during the first attunement. It worked for me but I haven't kept on with the studies because I think hands on study would be better suited for me. YouTube videos are helpful as well. The yahoo reiki group even offer attunements for pets. My 16 year old cat Milo was attuned as well. If you do search for the yahoo reiki group, make sure you are following the methods from the teachings Dr. Mikao Usui, founder of the Usui System of Reiki.

I have attunement videos done by a very renowned Master who trained with the kauhunas in hawia.
In this video he is in arizona out in the rocks and has a very large crystal which he uses with a symbol to transcend time and space to administer level 1,2 and 3 in different videos. This is how i was first attuned and it worked. I used the level one video about three times in a couple months and amazed my husband and parents in law all three masters with the energy.
The man who did this is amazing and I am sure you could find these videos on youtube, If not perhaps i could post them or something.

Each to their own in individuality devoted to God.... Make it your own ritual, from the heart.
