The Japanese word “Ki” refers to life force energy,
abundant throughout the universe. This is the force that animates our
bodies, maintains our health and literally keeps us alive. As human
beings, we are born with abundant Ki energy, have access to this energy
for personal use and have the potential to channel this energy to
promote healing in others. How blessed we are to have been given this
wonderful gift.
Why then do we sometimes get sick, age prematurely,
become depressed, etc. The teachings of
Reiki,
Digi-Ki, Acupuncture and
others tell us that this Ki (Japanese) or Chi (Chinese) energy becomes
blocked. Energy healing, in general, consists of various methods of
unblocking this energy so we may return to our normally healthy state.
There are, of course, many ways that this energy can become blocked.
There are also many testimonials of seemingly miraculous cures when this
Ki energy again returned to its naturally abundant flow.
We have also been blessed with something called
“Free Choice”. This is usually a good thing. The problems arise when we
consciously or unconsciously become out of harmony with the Universe and
its natural laws of how Ki energy operates. We can create blockages to
the abundant free flowing energy through attitude, body position, diet
or many other life choices. If we can maintain unobstructed Ki flow, we
will manifest mental, physical and spiritual health and harmony.
I am beginning a new series of classes this month
at the Mandala Center. In the Ki Development portion of this ongoing
class we will learn many methods to strengthen our Ki, not only by
learning to recognize common pitfalls to avoid blocking this Ki energy,
but also practical techniques to reinforce our experience of Ki in our
daily lives. Those who have experienced a Reiki session, usually
remember the sensation of heat emanating from the practitioners hands.
We will learn many other ways to feel or sense this Ki energy. We will
also learn and practice methods of testing to experience immediate
feedback on how Ki flow is effected by posture, attitude, mood, emotion,
and environment. In addition I will present several methods of breathing
exercise and meditation techniques designed to enhance Ki.
When we are in harmony with the Universe, we have
abundant life force energy or Ki flowing unrestricted through our being,
keeping us health and active. Harmony with the Universe is our natural
state, and through embracing four simple principles reflecting this
harmony, we can experience the tremendous power of Ki, and profoundly
expand our understanding and definition of this energy.
In the Ki Fingers portion of these classes we will
learn to extend Ki energy to ourselves and others to promote health and
well-being. During Reiki, Ki energy emanates from the hands or palms. In
Ki Fingers, Ki is extended from the fingertips, enabling tremendous power
and concentration of energy to reach deep into organs or tense muscle
tissues. We will learn simple scanning techniques for determining bodily
energy needs and application. We will practice giving and receiving Ki
through the simple processes of Ki Fingers. No attunement is necessary;
anyone of any age can access this energy and feel its effects in
minutes. Please refer to my article in the last issue of the Spiral for
further information on
Digi-Ki.
Whether you are an experienced Reiki Practitioner,
a Healer using other modalities, or curious beginner, you will find
abundant information and experience in these classes. Each session is
designed to be open in nature. You can begin at any time, and attend any
or all classes. Enjoy the peace, harmony and power of Ki meditation, and
Ki breathing. Experience the expansion of self as each group unites in
purpose. Enjoy the healing experience of a room full of Ki. |
