Usui Sensei
said that Reiki is pure love.
Right now is a good time to think about love…
Here is a quote from Usui Sensei:
‘I existed as a being of Light, a being of Love and I came to teach about love and compassion.’
So what is love?
According to Usui Sensei, love is:
- wholeness
- wholeness is balance
- balance brings a state of wellbeing
- wellbeing is freedom from dis-ease
As Masters in our own right, we must all ‘walk forward in love and light’. Usui intended that we spread the love and light of Reiki through our hearts, our hands and our eyes.’
As a Reiki practitioner or master, your responsibility is to care for yourself first, to ensure that your energy channel for Reiki is clear (not blocked with negative vibrations of any kind). Then you can be the master of yourself. Someone that is proud to walk forward in love and light. Your Reiki healing then becomes the pure love that Usui Sensei meant it to be.
A lovely way to remind yourself each day to take care of yourself, is to state an affirmation such as the one below. This will help raise your vibration and keep you aligned with the pure energy of love and light. You can also meditate on the affirmation and find out where you might need to make changes to your life so that you are loving yourself first!
I love myself
I love myself
I love myself
more and more
each day
You can also meditate with the crystals Rose Quartz and Aventurine as they are both related to the heart chakra.
If you find that certain chakras might be blocked, you could also use the Chakra Cleanse and Balance mp3 meditation as a 21 day cleanse.
Take the next 21 days to focus on loving yourself and don’t forget to make notes in your Reiki journal and enjoy!
