Hi All,

I’m a Reiki master/teacher.
I started up a Reiki share group in Osaka, Japan. If you live in Kansai area or are planning to visit there, please join us to exchange and share information with us.
Also our monthly distant meditation is open for everybody to participate from everywhere in the world.
I’m hoping this could be an opportunity to connect people on the earth and make this world better.

Love & Light
Yuko

Hi, dear Yuko, and thank you so much for your nice introduction!
Your invitation to share the monthly meditation altogether is so good and wonderful; I also would like to ask you if you can also share your knowledge an experience with the ReikiPath members either - we would be thrilled to find out more knowledge from you.

Namaste,
Mona

Dear Yuko,
Thanks for your quick response.
Please announce the date for your distant meditation.
Could you share your experiences and update information from Mt. Kurama.
I shall be ready to receive energy Sept. 28th.
Namaste.

Hello everybody!

I would like to explain a little about the distant meditation in my Reiki group here.
Basically when I announce it, members who like to participate RSVP “Yes” on our event page. Please see the link to see how it looks like. http://reiki.meetup.com/538/
In our last distant new moon meditation, I send an instruction below to members.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The new moon is the birthing cycle of the moon's various phases. The new moon phase is an optimal time for planning and seeding your intentions. When it comes to setting goals or planning ahead for your future, it is a good time to get started during the new moon.

Things I suggest you to do before you start the meditation;
1. Cleanse your room with sage smudging or burning some incense.
2. Put some meditation music to listen to.
3. Write down a list of your desires on a paper. (Make positive statement! A statement such as “I WILL BE RICH ONE DAY has the word-power to keep a person in poverty because the focus is that richness will come later. Later never comes, as we are always living in NOW. An example of a positive prosperity affirmation would read like this “I AM RICH” or “TODAY I AM PROSPEROUS.”) Write down “Thank you” in the end of the list to show your gratitude.

At 10:00am;
Center your being and calm yourself in whatever way is appropriate for you. Take some deep cleansing breaths and start meditating. That’s it! It’s simple and easy.

For Reiki Practitioners above Level2;
Please check our meetup calendar in advance and write down the names of participants of the event on a piece of paper. When meditation starts, send reiki energy using 3 Reiki symbols.

For Non-Reiki Practitioners and Reiki Practitioners Level1;
You do not have to be present to receive the benefits of a Reiki treatment. You can be anywhere, doing anything and still be given the treatment.
While you meditate, some of the Reiki practitioners send energy to the participants.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is how I organized the meditation. I’m happy to hear from you if you have any suggestion or concerns.
You can be a member of this meetup group or you can email me through my profile in this forum to join our next distant meditation.

Dear Yuko,
Thanks for the explanation.
Please announce the date of next distant meditation. Certainly we would like to join you.
We would like to understand Jiko Jyoka Ho, Ken Yoku, Ketsueki Koukan Ho.
What's difference between Gendai Reiki and Western Reiki?
Namaste

Sai Ram, Yuko and thank you very much for the explanations.

Dear Yuko, please learn me more about the technique Ketsueki Koukan Ho (blood cleansing) from “Traditional Japanese Reiki” that Dr. Usui originally used  and that is pretty powerful. I kindly ask you this because I am interested to learn this technique from you and to apply it - I feel this is so usefully!

Thanking to you in advance for your kindness I remain
With Endless love and light,
Mona


Here is a little bit about what I learned from my Japanese Master.
My Reiki master learned Reiki from both Japanese master (Gendai Reiki) and American master (Western Reiki).  The style of Reiki I got attuned from my master is basically “Gendai Reiki” but she taught me some techniques from western Reiki such as “Reiki Box”. She also added some knowledge of aromatherapy and crystals in Reiki. We do use the symbols. She recommended to perform Hatsuri Ho once or twice a day. We always perform Jiko Jyoka Ho (self-cleansing) before we have healing session and Ken Yoku (Dry Bathing) in the end ( also always wash hands with running water) to disconnect ourselves from clients' energy.
She mentioned the technique Ketsueki Koukan Ho (a blood cleansing) from “Traditional Japanese Reiki” that Dr. Usui originally used is pretty powerful. I would like to get into more about Traditional Reiki in a future.

Jiko Jyoka Ho,(Self Cleansing)

Jiko Jyoka Ho is effective to perform before you have a healing session.
1. Close your eyes in standing position.
2. Both elbows are put right and left with the palms down in front of your chest.
3. Both hands are pressing down towards your feet while quietly exhaling. Feel all negative energy goes to ground.
4. With your palms still down, inhale from your nose as you move up your hands to your head. Then move the palms up and receive energy from the universe.
5. Exhale as you move your palms down towards your head slowly. Trace your aura by your palms from head to face, chest, hip. Imagine your body is filled by Reiki.
6. Repeat 4 and 5 as many as you like.

Ketsueki Koukan Ho (blood cleansing)

Ketsueki Koukan Ho is not just laying of hands. It involves moving hands along the spine. In some of the countries, using this technique could be restricted by law or state regulation concerning massage. If you are treating clients in a business setting, please be advised to contact your local massage board for specific information unless you are licensed as a massage therapist.

This treatment is effective at the end of your Reiki session
The client should be lying on their stomach with no cloths or one layer on his/her upper body.
Please make sure not to give pressure on spine.

Hanshin Koketsu ho (Half body blood cleansing)
1. Place your hand on back of your clients neck with thumb on one side of second cervical vertebra and the index finger on the other side. Draw first symbol (Chok Ray) with the fingers and press lightly for about 30 seconds.
2. Make "V" with your index finger and middle finger. Take deep cleansing breath and feel Reiki energy between the fingers.
3. Place the index finger on one side of second cervical vertebra and the middle finger on the other side. Stroke down the fingers firmly (but no to hard) from neck to the base of the spine. (quickly in the end)
4. Repeat 3 for 20 times.
5. After the 20th stroke, place your thumb on one side of the base of the spine and the index finger on the other side. Draw first symbol (Chok Ray) with the fingers and press lightly for about 30 seconds.
6. Place both hands at the top of the spine with one hand on either side. Stroke down outward from center to the sides of the body. Do this going down about 5 times until the entire spine is treated from top to bottom.

Zenshin Koketsu ho(Full body blood cleansing)
After Hanshin Koketsu ho, you can continue to do this for full body blood cleansing.
1. Stroke down outside of right thigh and calf then inside. Repeat it 3 times.
2. Stroke down outside of left thigh and calf then inside. Repeat it 3 times.
3. Grip right ankle by your dominant hand and place the other hand on the root of foot. Then pull the leg
4. Grip left ankle by your dominant hand and place the other hand on the root of foot. Then pull the leg
5. Tap upper body and lower body lightly several times.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Yuko for giving us a gold mine of latest information about traditional and western reiki.
Namaste

Hello Reiki friends!

It's much easier if you have somebody to demonstrate the techniques I have written on this board before.
I hope I could give you some idea at least...

I have been to Mt. Kurama for a couple of times this year. The energy there is soooo powerful.
Every time I go there, I have amazing time.
I have uploaded some pictures. Please visit http://reiki.meetup.com/538/photos/.
