FREE International Center For Reiki Training Home Page Reiki Retreat 2002 by William Lee Rand We have a fantastic Reiki retreat planned this year! It will be held over Labor Day weekend, August 30 to September 2. This year it will be at the Iroquois Springs Retreat Center in the Catskill mountains near Newburgh, NY. Based on past attendance, we are expecting 200 Reiki people or more. The retreat is open to anyone with Reiki One training or higher. All schools and lineages are welcome. People from across the US as well as many from other parts of the world will be attending. The retreat is a great place to make new Reiki friends and to share Reiki stories and info and to exchange Reiki treatments. In fact, we will have a special club house set up just for Reiki treatments where you can go at anytime or during scheduled events to give and receive Reiki. We also have a great list of presenters including: Hyakuten Inamoto, a Japanese Reiki master from Kyoto who will be sharing insights about his pure Japanese lineage, Mari Hall, a well known Reiki author and teacher, myself, Michael Baird, Laurelle Gaia and many others. Of special interest will be the work of Ulla Suokko, a talented flautist and Reiki master who will be exploring the healing possibilities of music. She will also be giving live accompaniment to some of the guided meditations. The retreat is filling up fast, so if you want to insure your space, I suggest you sign up as soon as possible!

Have you ever wondered how many give treatments, or how many are teaching. Would you like to find out? The new Reiki survey that was recently placed on our web site is revealing facts about the Reiki community that had only been guessed at before. The survey has been taken by over 4600 people so far! It covers such basic info as gender, age, and level of Reiki taken and there are also questions about charging money, Japanese Reiki Techniques, the value of other schools and lineages and many other interesting questions. By taking the survey, you will be able to see the results right away and keep coming back to check them as often as you want. As the number of people who take the survey grow the stats will continue to become more and more representative of the Reiki community as a whole. Some of the more interesting stats are: Of those who have Reiki, 30% have professional Reiki practices and charge money for Reiki sessions, 33% are full Reiki masters and 22% are teaching Reiki classes professionally.

Dr. Usui wrote a Reiki manual that he gave to all his students. This manual has been preserved and in fact is still in use in Japan. It contains many Reiki techniques that unfortunately were not taught by Mrs. Takata and therefore, only recently have reached the West. It is through the research of Arjava Petter, Chetna Kobiyashi and others that these techniques began reaching the us in the West around 1997. There were nine basic techniques in his manual and I have added them to the Reiki manual I use - Reiki, The Healing Touch. These original Reiki techniques are now being called the Japanese Reiki Techniques. One of the interesting facts about how Dr. Usui practiced and taught Reiki is that he used more than just his hands to give Reiki treatments. In his manual, he shows how to use the eyes and the breath. On a recent trip to Japan, I was told by Mrs. Yamaguchi that during times of great need such as after the Great Kanto earthquake, Dr. Usui was known to treat up to six people at a time using both feet, both hands, his eyes, breath and various chakras. In the August, 2001 issue of this newsletter, I described how to use the eyes to send Reiki. This technique is called Gyoshi Ho. Now I would like to share Dr. Usui's method of using the breath which is called Koki-Ho. 1. First find an area on the client that needs extra Reiki. This could be an area where the life force is blocked, or where there is pain or a diseased condition. You can do this by simply asking the client where they need Reiki, or you may find an area by using Byosen scanning, Reiki-Ho (Japanese Reiki Techniques) or some other method of inner sensing. 2. Then breath in using a belly breath. Draw your breath all the way down to the deep belly or Tanden power point which is by the navel. 3. Hold your breath a moment and using your tongue, draw a power symbol or any other symbol(s) you are guided to use on the top of your mouth. (If you have only Reiki I, skip this part.) 4. Then with your mouth a few inches above the area in need, vigorously breathe into this area, contracting the belly and breathing out completely. 5. As you breath out, imagine you are breathing Reiki and the symbol(s) into the area in need. 6. Do this several times if you feel the need. 7. Then follow with hands on Reiki over or around the area in need. All the basic Japanese Reiki Technique are included in my Reiki manual, Reiki, The Healing Touch. This manual is used by over 4000 Reiki masters as their class manual. To learn more about the Japanese Reiki Techniques

During the wait before my visit, my brother informed his doctor that his sister was coming to give him a new pancreas. His doctor thought he was crazy and decided to put him on medication for denial of his terminal illness. I was angry and wanted to see his doctor and ask him when did he become God/Goddess/Mother/Father/Mystic Laws/Universe that he knew exactly when someone was going to live or die. On Thanksgiving, November 22, 2001 I arrived at the hospital where my brother was staying. I explained Reiki to him, the hand positions, and what I would do during the attunement. I knew it was important to attune him to Reiki I before his first Reiki session because within a month he went from giving up on life to wanting to live… and he believed I was going to help him. I let him know that it was not me, and that I am the conduit/vessel for the healing energy from the Universe that is passing through me to him that would be doing the healing. As soon as the attunement was over, my brother told me he felt something circle his body and he knew he would be all right. I gave him instructions where to lay his hands for direct healing to his pancreas, when to take his juices, teas, and herbs (I also use herbs and essential oils to help people heal themselves naturally, so I bought a lot of natural products, such as Noni juice, grape seed extract, and herbal teas for his daily regimen), and most importantly to say the affirmations or write daily, 'I am in perfect health' and "My body is now free from all dis-eases.' The next day, I went back to the hospital to give Tex a Reiki session. I asked him how he was doing and he said great, the previous night was the first time he experienced no pain in months. On Thursday, December 20, 2001, my sister called me from California because my mother couldn't reach me to tell me about my brother Tex. He had a check up with his doctor that Thursday morning. My brother's doctor told him that his pancreatic cancer was in a state of remission and that he doesn't know what his sister [me] had him doing but keep doing it, even though he [the doctor] didn't believe in that mumble jumble. I was so elated with this news. I thanked the Universe and told everyone I knew. Now, I have people in my family calling and asking when am I going to heal them. I tell them it's not me, it's the healing energy of the Universe. Sincerely, Bianca Reiki Heals Injured Hip Reiki Heals Hearing To read all 20 Reiki stories, Our web site now offers free downloads
