Why Reiki Healing?  

NOTE:  I am now teaching for the Om-Reiki Centre in Melbourne

I was a Pellowah practitioner and trainer before I entered the field of Reiki. Many people ask me why I would choose to do both. My answer is: “Why not?” Together they are probably the best tools for empowerment you could ever have in your toolkit. I have studied Reiki Mastership from two different teachers and this has enabled me to gain a wider understanding of the system.

Both Reiki (which means “universal energy”) and Pellowah (which means “radical shift in consciousness”) call in the Divine Source energy. This energy, however, seems to be transmitted in slightly different ways. Pellowah is very recent, having been channelled to Kachina Ma’an, herself a Reiki Master of 20 years' standing, in 2003 and as such is said to have been developed in a time of higher frequency energy. Kachina is the only person who teaches Pellowah Master teacher/trainer level.

Reiki, probably the most well-known of all the energy healing systems, was channelled to Mikao Usui in Japan in the 1920s as a spiritual practice. It has undergone a number of incarnations in its 90 year history. However, with research, it is still possible to come close to what Reiki was originally meant to be. Many people do not quite understand the “spiritual” nature of Reiki and most courses by-pass the “spiritual practice of Reiki” in preference to the “hands on healing” effect it has.   But the true power of Reiki comes from “living it”. By that I mean practising it every day through meditation, chanting, focussing on symbols, giving self-Reiki treatments, learning how to centre yourself … and so very much more.  

The Reiki courses I teach will emphasise the “five pillars” that Usui taught:

• Reiki attunements

• Reiki meditations

• Hands on Healing

• Mantras and symbols

• Reiki precepts

This leads to a richer Reiki experience and enables you to channel this energy in a clearer way.   A 21 day e-course will be included as a follow-on practice for both Level 1 and Level 2 Reiki courses. And of course I will always be available for your questions.

BUT REIKI IS NOT JUST ABOUT LEARNING IT … YOU CAN COME ALONG FOR A HEALING SESSION.   And a number of people do come for regular “tune-ups”. As human beings, we take in a certain amount of energy from the universe naturally every day. But with the stress and worry of daily life, much of this energy is syphoned off and we become tired and run-down. Energy blockages can also occur.  A Reiki treatment (and Pellowah as well) enables you to access a source of extra energy via the hands of the practitioner. Hey … how good is that?
