Reiki and the Human Energy System
Welcome
…
to the third edition of our magazine. We've continued to improve and
have worked hard on this issue. In fact the magazine has expanded by 50 percent
to include 60 pages and over 35 pages of articles! All written by accomplished
Reiki authors and teachers who are providing you with some of their best experiences
and thinking on the subject of Reiki.
One of the areas of
interest that often comes up in Reiki classes and in the emails I receive involves
the human energy system (HES). People want to know what it is, why it is important,
and most of all, what role it plays in the practice of Reiki. Questions about
this topic come up a lot, but there doesn't seem to be much information available.
One reason is that the original hand positions taught in the West involve placing
the hands on the body and not in the aura. This was fostered by Mrs. Takata, who
didn't include information in her classes about the chakras or the aura or how
to treat them with Reiki. The same is true in Japan; with the exception of byosen
scanning, not much attention is given to the aura and chakras there, either.
This
is puzzling as Reiki, being a subtle energy, works directly on and through the
HES. The value of this cannot be overstated, as the HES forms the very basis of
our health and creates the foundation of our consciousness. A good understanding
of this important, but little-mentioned, aspect of Reiki healing can greatly enhance
your use of Reiki. At the same time, it can also increase your comprehension of
life itself.
Here is a list of the articles in the winter
issue:

important subject.
Detecting, Sensing and Seeing the Aura
and Chakras
by Penelope
Quest
One of the best ways to understand the human energy system is by
experiencing it. And if one is to become skilled in using Reiki to healing the
HES, one must develop the ability to sense it. Penelope shows how anyone can become
aware of the aura and charkas by using some simple techniques. This is a must
for those wanting to work with the HES.

Human Energy Field

Oschman, Ph.D.
Dr. Oschman is an expert on the scientific understanding
of hands-on healing and the existence of the human energy field. He presents information
about energy medicine in a way that is easy to understand. The clarity and depth
of his perspective helps us view healing in a whole new light. This article is
a must for anyone wanting a logical and scientific explanation of Reiki and is
an excellent reference for those wanting to take Reiki into hospitals or clinics.
Soul Level Chakras and the Peace Breath

Shanti Gaia
Laurelle sheds light on the charkas above and below the physical
body and shows how to heal and develop them. This is a wonderful article that
helps us connect to the deeper levels of our being and awaken to a more profound
level of awareness.
Reiki and Fertility

Hall
This is a wonderful story about a couple who were both infertile
and how Reiki helped them conceive and give birth to a child. Mari treated them
from before conception, through pregnancy and at the time of delivery. She provides
important details of the treatment including ways Reiki was used to help on both
psychological and physical levels. This is a great article for anyone interested
in this important topic.
Reiki Stories
These stories,
sent in by our readers give real life validation to the practice of Reiki. Many
include people who had serious illnesses and before and after medical tests that
confirmed both the existence of the condition and the healing. They demonstrate
the miracle working power of Reiki and inspire us to develop our skill and use
our Reiki.
I invite you to take the time to read and study
the material offered here and to experiment with it. As we improve our use of
Reiki, not only do we help others, we also make the world a better place to live.
May you be blessed by the love and healing that flows through you to others.
