CHAPTER ONE

What is Psychic Reiki?

Psychic Reiki is the culminating work of my three previous books about Reiki, plus some new techniques, combined into one elegant and user-friendly energy healing system. As with traditional Reiki, this system acknowledges Mikao Usui as the founder of Reiki, and its practitioners access the Divine Life-Force energy known as Reiki for wellbeing and spiritual development. Yet this system differs from traditional Reiki in that there are no symbols or hand positions, since the practitioner learns to communicate with and direct the energy of Reiki telepathically.

Reiki is the worlds most popular form of energy healing. Originally discovered by Mikao Usui, a Japanese mystic who lived from 1865 to 1926, Reiki is now flourishing around the world as a method of self care and wellbeing. It is even getting some recognition in Western medical circles, and is used as a form of palliative care in more progressive hospitals. Often, Reiki is translated from Japanese into English as meaning Universal Life-Force Energy, and yet the Japanese kanji can also be translated to mean Divine Life-Force Energy. I prefer the later translation, as it reflects the idea that Reiki does not really come from any person, or human, or even the collective field of life-force energy, but from a higher source that exists on the spiritual planes. As human channels for this energy, we can interpret it and create structures for understanding it, yet the energy itself is from the Divine, and thus not limited by our human structures or human interpretation. Reiki, as Divine Life-Force Energy, is an expression of Divine consciousness, and therefore always works for the highest good.

Reiki is most commonly taught as either a three- or four-degree system. Those teachers who teach it as a four-degree system essentially break the traditional third degree into two parts, but the essential teachings are the same whether one learns it as a three- or four-degree system.

First-degree Reiki empowers a student with an initiation from a Reiki master that is commonly called an attunement. This attunement involves the Reiki master putting sacred Reiki symbols into the students crown chakra at the top of the head, as well as into the students hands. Once activated to the energy of Reiki through the attunement, the student is then taught hand positions for doing a Reiki session on themself as well as Reiki hand positions for doing a session on another person. At this level, the student is usually not taught any of the Reiki symbols.

Second-degree Reiki training involves the student receiving another attunement from a Reiki master, and then learning three of the sacred Reiki symbols. One symbol makes the energy flow stronger. Another symbol focuses the energy for mental and emotional wellness. A third symbol is learned that allows a Reiki healer to send Reiki through time and space.

The third degree of Reiki, as I learned it, is the Master level, and it involves yet another attunement from a Reiki master, who then teaches three more Reiki symbols to the student. The student then learns how to initiate others to Reiki using these sacred Reiki symbols. Since some of these symbols also increase the ability of the Reiki student as a practitioner, some teachers separate the third degree into two parts. The first part serves to enhance ones skills as a practitioner and the second part is teacher training. Yet, as mentioned earlier, the teachings are essentially the same whether one learns Reiki as a three- or four-degree system. I have dear friends who are Reiki masters who learned it as a four-degree system and we respect each others different styles, knowing the core teaching is still the same.

Reiki is a form of Divine light, and as a form of Divine light it is not limited by our human structures for accessing and interpreting it. I teach traditional Reiki workshops at one of the worlds premier holistic retreat centers, Omega Institute, and have a great reverence for the Reiki symbols, the lineage, and the integrity of a system that has evolved now for almost a century to become the most popular form of energy healing in the world. Yet I am also open to there being more than what I know about Reiki and more than what I was taught by those who initiated me into Reiki. I know that these symbols and structures, as beautiful as they are, are simply human ways of accessing something far greater than our ability to totally comprehend. In 2007, I had a profound mystical experience while traveling in Laos that involved a visitation from the spirit of Mikao Usui, the person all Reiki lineages credit as the one who discovered Reiki. During that mystical experience I was given a ball of white light from Mikao Usui that went directly into my heart chakra. At the time, I simply thought that ball of white light contained information about Reiki, and during the weeks after that experience I became aware of information that became the bulk of my book Reiki for Spiritual Healing (Crossing Press, 2009). Eventually, after several years, I came to the awareness that that ball of white light included a new tool in the evolution of Reiki that I call Mikao Usuis Reiki Crystal of Awakening.

Mikao Usuis Reiki Crystal of Awakening, which was first introduced to the general public through my book New Reiki Software for Divine Living (Ayni Books, 2013), is an energetic crystal made out of the light of Reiki. It holds Divine consciousness, information about Reiki, the ability to flow any energy from any Reiki symbol or any Reiki lineage, and can be psychically activated simply with a persons thoughts, though one can also use their voice. After writing New Reiki Software for Divine Living, I thought I had written everything about Reiki that I was supposed to write. I thought I had nothing new left to say on the subject of Reiki. Yet in the past six months I have been getting more information from my guides that there is more about Mikao Usuis Reiki Crystal of Awakening than I fully understood. Also, I have been shown that when combined with techniques from my first two Reiki books, an elegant healing system that is easy to access and also quite powerful is offered. The work of the following chapters offers these new Reiki possibilities as a unique Reiki system that I call Psychic Reiki.

Psychic Reiki has one primary toolMikao Usuis Reiki Crystal of Awakeningwhich, for the sake of brevity, I will refer to as the Reiki crystal from this point forward. Since this Reiki crystal can be activated simply though telepathic communication with it, the term psychic seems best suited to describe this new system of Reiki. This system of Reiki has no hand positions, no use of the traditional Reiki symbols, and no hierarchy of degrees that exists in traditional Reiki, such that anyone empowered to it can also initiate others to Psychic Reiki. Yet the energy Psychic Reiki draws from is still the same vibration of Reiki as traditional Reiki. Psychic Reiki simply accesses Reiki Divine Life-Force Energy in a way that fits more with the egalitarian evolution into an Aquarian Age. In other words, it is a new structure, a new human container for Reiki, though the energy of Reiki itself remains as pure and as Divine as it has always been.
