reiki?

[dtstiachi]

Hey yall

I was in class tonight and a "reiki" master was supposed to be in the class with us. Well, the only thing he ended up doing was getting the Grandmaster really ticked off at us because he was disrespectful. I was wondering what is "reiki" (not sure of spelling) and how is one a "master" of it? Thanks for the helpful comments

Here's a pretty decent link to explain. I simply googled it:

http://www.reiki.org/FAQ/WhatIsReiki.html

Sorry to hear your dojo had a bad experience. I have heard good things about reiki from my sensei, though I've not tried it.

Respectfully,

Sohan

reiki- universal energy

A japanese healing system of imposing the hands on the person to be healed.

in this system, the chakras of the body are attuned(or opened) so the Ki from the Universe can flow into the body and come out through the hand meridians.

The practitioner heals without having to use his own energy and can even heal himself.

this system cannot be learned on your own, it must be taught and attuned by a reiki master.

Sounds most interesting. I've heard about classess in my area (or somewhere near) maybe I should look into it more.

it is. It can also improve your internal martial arts practice. a friend of mine's son practices qi qong and he says it improved his perception of energy and how it flowed through him.

I myself havent started practicing, but I'm looking into it

Interesting. I guess my next step is to find a teacher. Thanks

That website had links to the instructors and the tours they go on in order to teach the class.

Sadlyi dont live near any of those presented there...

Yeah I've been curious about their training so I emailed them to see what options they have in different areas, etc and if they can't travel, do they have information to other instructors.

I have had two Reiki treatments. The first one made me feel very calm and relaxed, but not much more. The practitioner told me about some health problems that he saw which I already knew about, but I told him nothing prior to the treatment.

The second one was OK. I know there is something to Reiki, but I can't say more than that at this point.
