NEW REIKI BOOK
However, there is one new book that we feel is worth recommending to
experienced students of the practice. This is entitled "Modern Reiki Method for
Healing" and is by Hiroshi Doi, a Japanese Master who has received training in
"Western style" Reiki, and then subsequently received training from Mrs Kimiko
Koyama, who was a President of the Usui Reiki Ryoho Society which was founded
by Dr. Usui himself. The book contains much information that is unique to
Japanese spiritual practice and culture, as well as useful historical
information about Reiki. It is a must for the serious student of Reiki.
The book has recently been translated from the Japanese into English language,
and is currently only available from the Canadian publishers. Fraser Journal
Publishing, and is priced at US$16.95 or Canadian$21.95 plus postage and
packing, so local cost depends on our current exchange rate. Contact Mari
Miyasaka, c/- Fraser Journal Publishing, British Columbia, Canada, on Fax
604-9398780 or e-mail mari@yahho.com for orders and cost.
USEFUL BOOK:
MASTERY IN REIKI
She says: "Reiki Master' is not a job title to me, it is a life title. I hold a
level of healing and energy in my body and spirit which is carried into all
that I am. It is a quality of being rather than doing. Being a Reiki Master is
being a steward and a teacher of a system of healing which is simple, powerful
and effective. One can be a Reiki Master and come from any country, class
system, belief, or ideology...Reiki Mastery is the practice of learning the
spaciousness to hold people with reverence, healing, and compassion in their
growth, calling, or whatever brings them to our classes or Reiki tables. Some
consider being a Reiki Master as a duty, a charge, or as offering a gift of
service to one's community. It is a lifelong commitment."
We endorse these comments, and for us it is also our primary vocational
commitment.
FOR THOSE WHO WORK IN THE 'MAINSTREAM' MEDICAL FIELD
If so, do you struggle with talking about your practice in Reiki because you
may be thought of as 'slightly off the planet' or as a 'new-ager'?
Do you wish you had a more scientific name for what you do? Do you have a
problem with suggesting a practice with a foreign name?
Then take note of an American medical doctor who practises Reiki. When a
patient displays symptoms that he thinks may respond to Reiki, he asks his
patients to consider a "non-traditional bio-energetic system of stress relief".
That description would go down well with those with a more conventional
outlook, and it sounds better than a Valium!
THE DAILY SELF TREATMENT
In every class, we teach the self-treatment routine as the most significant and
important part of each class, for Reiki is first and foremost for ourselves to
further our ongoing healing processes on all levels - physical, emotional,
mental and spiritual; anyone who says that they don't need some healing is -
frankly - kidding themselves!!!
So it is interesting for us to find that many students, in wanting to rush out
and heal the world, forget about caring for themselves on a daily basis. Takata
said "Reiki is first for you!"
Remember to spare ten or fifteen minutes for yourself each day; it is not a
huge commitment! After all - you are number one!
