Gassho Meditation
Gassho is the first part part of the complete Hatsurei-ho meditation. It is perfect for when you begin learning to meditate.  Gassho is also perfect as a start and end point to other meditation exercises.

Gassho means ‘hands coming together’

Sit with your hands together in the traditional prayer position and focus on breathing, slowly, in and out.  As you take each breath in, visualise the Reiki energy entering through the top of your head and filling your entire body.

As you let each  each breath out, visualise Reiki energy emitting from every part of your body. Visualise the Reiki energy continuing out into infinity.

This is an easy meditation to learn but extremely effective. When learning you can practice this as much or as many times as you like. Once perfected you can use this meditation to begin the more complex excercises where you can simply use the Gassho meditation until you feel you ready to move onto the next stage

Reiki is a style of holistic therapy that uses the idea of universal energy flow with the conglomeration of seven chakras. The human body contains seven energy centres, these are the chakras.  Reiki practitioners believe that there is a focal point in the human body and it is the channelling of universal life energy, known as Ki, through these points that defines the Reiki therapies.

Maikao Usui The The Father Of Moden Reiki

From Where Does Reiki Derive?

The techniques and practices of Reiki healing have been around and understood for hundreds of years but the true modern Japanese Master of Reiki is Mikao Usui who, aaround 1890, redefined Reiki by incorporating the basic techniques and symbols into the Reiki we know today. Master Maiko Usui found attunement (awakening) on a mountain meditation. This attunement is the process by which Reiki practitioners progress through the three levels of learning and enlightenment.

The Key principles of Reiki

The main purpose of Reiki is to enable healing at the emotional and spiritual levels. Reiki also enables physical healing. Not as an instant ‘magical’ cure but as a steady progression of improvement. As a non-intrusive healing therapy it is completely compatible with modern medicine and often used in conjunction with other mainstream healing and not as an alternative. Reiki enables practitioners to focus the flow of the universal life energy.

The universal Life Energy Ki

Reiki practitioners believe that “Ki” flows throughout the whole universe, and the practice of Reiki connects that energy through the human body. The concept of the universal energy Ki (or Chi) is a well accepted idea in many other healing arts, marshal arts and even religions.

The Art Of Healing

The art of self-healing can be practiced by Reiki practitioners by placing their hand in specified position. This increases the energy in their own bodies. The healing of others is done by the placing of hands on the person receiving the healing treatment. It is also possible to heal animals using Reiki

AS well as one to one, Reiki healing can be performed by a group of healers, all placing hands on the subject.  Another form of healing known as ‘distance healing’ can also be performed whereby the use of visualisation and symbology enables the Reiki healer to channel energies through subjects that can be in another location or even another country
