Reiki and Energy

The energy issue directs the world. Industry is dependent on energy. People are too. We need energy to grow and progress, and therefore we have to keep taking it from our environment. Since absolutely everything that exists is just some form of energy, we can say that energy is all we have. This is why we must be responsible for our own energy; we must look after it and constantly replenish it with new and fresh quantities.

Reiki is energy transformation. It is transforming high-frequency energy into the one that we need, that helps us in overcoming obstacles and facilitates our learning process. The name Reiki is Japanese in origin and it contains the word energy (KI). This indicates the main idea of Reiki practicing: increasing the energy flow, either for healing purposes or for the strengthening of the organism, or for transformational work with the purpose of personal development . Increased working potential and decreased need for sleep are often the first of many durable effects that are felt already after several months of Reiki practicing.
One of the forms of Reiki usage is treating other persons. It is characteristic of Reiki treatments that the person who treats becomes a mere channel for transferring energy. This is why both sides profit from a treatment: before the energy comes to the treatment receiver, it goes through the energetic system of the treatment giver. It is an obvious conclusion that the treatment giver increases his or her energetic level in the first place.

Exercise : SENDING ENERGY OVER A DISTANCE
Reiki energy can be sent to other persons remotely. This person can be either several meters or several hundred kilometers away. The distance does not matter. What matters is that you know the personal data about the person (name, surname, current location) and the power of your imagination , i.e. your ability to form a precise picture of the person you are sending energy to.
It is commonly practiced to ask the person for the permission to send the energy, or even better – to do this exercise when the person asks you for it. If we cannot contact the person, and we consider that the energy would be useful to him or her, then we ask the divine energy for permission.
After the introductory ten minutes or so, with the hands in the starting position over your chest and breathing calmly and easily, we visualize the third, the second and the first symbol in this specific order, saying their respective mantras three times each. We put our hands in front of us, as if we were holding a big ball.
We visualize the picture of the person that we are sending the energy to, and we verbally ask the divine energy to have the energy sent to the person in question through us. We declare our decision that we wish to be energy transmitters and we ask that energy be transmitted in the quantity and with the intensity that are currently the most useful to this person.
After a certain time, you will feel the urge to raise your hands. This is the sign that the energy flow has become stable and that it can gradually be increased. At this point, we slowly raise our hands at the head height.
While doing this exercise , one needs to be more careful than usually. If we only ask to send the energy without asking for the limitation of the quantity and the intensity, we could put the recipient in a quite awkward position. The energy might flow exceptionally strongly, and this can cause different side effects in the recipient (nausea, nervousness, vomiting).
Sending the energy can take either a few minutes or a whole hour. It is advisable to draw all the three symbols several times more during the exercise , in order to stay aware of the whole process. Although we are only transmitters, our role in the sending is not a passive one. If our channel closes, the energy stops flowing.

Exercise : SENDING ENERGY TO ONESELF IN THE FUTURE
In Reiki, time and distance are not relevant, so that energy can be sent into the future, either to oneself or to someone else, for a probable upcoming situation (e.g. an important business meeting). The situation from the previous exercise is repeated – it is your visualization abilities that matter. It is necessary to precisely visualize yourself or the recipient in the actual situation for which we are sending the energy.
After the introductory ten minutes or so, with the hands in the starting position and breathing calmly and easily, we draw (visualize) the third, the second and the first symbol in this specific order, saying their respective mantras three times each. We visualize the picture of ourselves in the actual situation, and we verbally ask the divine energy that the energy we that need for this situation be sent to us. We declare our decision to receive the energy, and we ask for the energy to be transmitted in the quantity and with the intensity that will be the most useful to us.
A separate variant of this exercise is sending the energy to oneself for a certain period. This way, we can program a continuous energy flow for the whole day in the morning. We can also program a whole day protection, but we must make sure not to overdo it, so that the protection does not prevent us from learning and going through the experiences that are necessary for us.
