Most reiki practitioners experience situations where their treatments can not have direct result or might re-occur over time. But legends say that Usui sensei heal kobe’s earthquake victims almost instantly.
Beside, Hayashi sensei, taught reiki to navy officers to be used as alternative treatment on the ship when lacking medicine. So, reiki treatment should be have direct result and almost instant, otherwise, it can not be used.
Then, how come we don’t perform like them?
When I confronted with this question, I can only think that may be we lacked exercise or spiritual training until I learned that reiki practical healing techniques are still in oral tradition back in japan.
There is two things that need to develop in reiki. First, the amount of energy, this can be done through meditation and breathing exercise using reiki. Second, a practitioner need to develop reiji, an energy sensitive hand and intuition.
To me, reiji is very important for practical uses. It helps us to detect the source of illnesses through hibiki-energy negative- emitted by the illnesses sources.
This hibiki, need to be discharged, to be taken out of the body and purified. With ability to detect and purying hibiki, you may experience an almost instant healing with reiki.
29/12/24, i need to update this, since that post was a decade ago, recently i learned about qigong from a taoist. I felt a great wall was being destroyed after learned qigong. There was a question in my head when giving a healing session, the patient seems reject the energy that i gave to them. My qigong master gave me an explanation, universal energy like Reiki need to be readjusted with colors to improve absorption. In addition, the general live style of the patient need to be realign with the healing process as the body need good material to rebuild the body and repel invaders. It is also important to connect with the patient’s subconsciousness and ask permission to do healing.
