Reiki is a Japanese form of healing that is becoming
increasingly popular worldwide. Reiki is a Japanese word
representing Universal Life Force, the energy around us and
within us. It is an hands-on healing method based on the
transference of vital energy. Reiki is a complete system of
healing that transforms and heals the body and mind.
Utilizing the methods within the Reiki system, the Reiki
practitioner transfers healing energy via the hands to
another. Reiki operates under the notion that we are all
connected to god and are all part of god. The healing power
is in us all. You will be familiar with this concept if you
have read "Conversations with God" by Neale Donald Walsch.

Reiki History

Reiki is believed to have begun in Tibet several thousand
years ago. Spiritualists in the Orient studied energies and
developed a system of sounds and symbols for universal
healing energies. Various healing systems, which crossed
many different cultures, emerged from this single root
system. Unfortunately, the original source itself was
forgotten. Dr. Mikao Usui, a Japanese Christian educator in
Kyoto, Japan, rediscovered the root system in the mid- to
late 1800s. He began an extensive twenty-one-year study of
the healing phenomena of history's greatest spiritual
leaders. He also studied ancient sutras (Buddhist teachings
written in Sanskrit). He discovered ancient sounds and
symbols that are linked directly to the human body and
nervous system which activate the universal life energy for
healing. Usui then underwent a metaphysical experience and
became empowered to use these sounds and symbols to heal. He
called this form of healing Reiki and taught it throughout
Japan until his death around 1893. The tradition was passed
through several grandmasters of reiki such as Dr. Chujiro
Hyashi, Hawayo Takata, and Phyllis Lei Furumoto.

The marvellous thing about Reiki is that anyone can learn it
and it can be used for self-treatment as well as helping
others. Some people have extraordinary experiences just
being attuned to Reiki and others find that the benefits of
being attuned are felt later when their intuition becomes
sharpened and they experience greater clarity and improved
well-being.

Recently I was excited to obtain a copy of "Radical Reiki
Radical Life" by CT Conroy and JA Conroy. The first thing
that amazed me about the book was the amount of information
it contained. The book goes in depth on the history of Reiki
and the way it has evolved to the present. From the
beginning it puts you in the frame of thinking to be
acceptable to it's following teachings. The book grabs you
by the hand and walks you through a step by step self
attunement initiation. You are taught how to construct the
Reiki Symbols and how to put them to use, and in turn use
the whole process to heal others.

There are also some bonus items that you get with the "Radical Reiki Radical Life"
course. The first item is a 62 page booklet on Lucid Dreaming,
what is Lucid Dreaming you ask? Lucid Dreaming is dreaming
while you know that you are dreaming, and when you know you
are dreaming within a dream you can also alter the dream course.
The next bonus item that you will receive is "Shine with the Aura of Success".
An Aura is an energy field that emanates from the surface of
a person or an object. Everything in the universe is made of
energy and is in a constant vibration, and all things that
are made up of energy are technically living. The bonus
booklet explains how to get in tune with your aura and how
to use them to have an edge up in life.

"Radical Reiki Radical Life" by CT Conroy and JA Conroy is a must read for anyone who has
wanted to create an easier path in life for themselves and have
the ability to help others along their spiritual journey. The trio of
books are chock full of information, and will start the reader on a
amazing spiritual journey. I personally enjoyed the books
immensely and highly recommend them.
