ABOUT REIKI
Reiki is an ancient Japanese science of healing. It involves the use of REI means universal light & KI means life force energy governing all functions in universe. This helps you heal all kinds of problem by touch or thought. This is just a complimentary aid to medicine that one can use with REJU i.e. attunement or initiation. Without initiation one cannot use it effectively. Those who try to practice this just by reading a book may get only a part of the healing effect that will be initiated with their own energy, not the universal life force. Reiki has 10 levels. Out of this, Reiki healing is taught in 4 levels. After this, there are 4 levels of Reiki teacher, 1 level of Reiki Grand Master and 1 level of Reiki Great Grand master. This literature of Reiki 1 will give you the basic idea of Reiki and as you get attuned, you can heal yourself as well as others by touch. You can even heal some objects and things and places by touch if you try that too. We have heard of some spiritually developed people doing such things earlier, but I am sure you must never have believed those stories to be true. Now, as you get attuned into Reiki, you will realise that even you can do this. Naturally you will know that this works. In Reiki 2, you will learn to heal people and places and things and events that are not there in front of you! Also from Reiki 3 onwards, you will be able to know where the problem is when a person complains of ailment. In Reiki 4, you will know about basic anatomy as it is very much necessary to heal the physical body of a person. Also, you will learn many different ways to detect the problem area and heal it. Once you master all these 4 levels, if you feel that you wish to learn how to attune and teach this wonderful method to others, you may learn further 6 levels that will make you a Reiki teacher, a Reiki grandmaster and a Reiki great grand master. Of course, learning teachers levels is never so easy like learning this first level of Reiki, as in these levels, a very deep cleansing of the inner self happens and once this is done, you are taught the methods of teaching as well as attuning at various levels. Anyways, let us now start with the basic introduction to Reiki and move further with the speed you choose. Here in the first level, we learn how Reiki originated, and what must be our mindset while healing with Reiki, and how we can heal by touch.

INTRODUCTION
REI-Universal KI-Life Force
Reiki is the universal life force that exists everywhere. We experience its presence at all the times. Different people call it by different names & know it in different forms. This energy runs the whole universe. It is LOVE OF GOD ALIVE! It is just there irrespective of recognition or imagination as sun, moon & air that are present everywhere. IT IS ABOVE ALL RELIGIONS! Our body systems are designed to have an access to this force. This is the reason why whenever we have any pain, we automatically place our hand over the paining area. Our body mechanism is designed to heal by placing the hand over the ailing area, just as the systems of animals are designed to heal their ailing area by licking it continuously! Due to our ignorance, we are not able to establish this access. Due to disuse, many people also lose this ability to establish connection with this energy. This is why though simple to use, many cannot use this energy in their daily routine. To regain this wonderful power we need to undergo a complete training and have the connection to this power restored during this training by a simple procedure known as attunement that is given as a part of Reiki training. This is where the Reiki teacher comes into picture. A Reiki teacher re-establishes the contact of the student with the universal life force by way of a process known as attunement or initiation. This process lets you access this universal life force and even transmit it to others for healing. As one is attuned, one may have some unique experiences. These vary from person to person. But that does not make this science objective and imaginary. The Reiki attunement enables you to heal not to initiate. But Reiki healer finds the transformed life!

HISTORY OF REIKI
Reiki-1
He was often accompanied by Buddhist monks/nuns and also until about eighteen months before he died his teachings were given only to Buddhist and Shinto followers. He made no provision for his teachings to be continued after his death. He had expected others to come along who would surpass his own capabilities, this did not happen. Curiously Dr. Usui never used the term Reiki for his healing. The term 'Reiki' may have been introduced by Hayashi or the Gakkai. The name used by Usui's students is 'Usui Do or 'Usui Teate'. Hayashis disciples from U.S.A spread the name Reiki. The popular story about the origin of Reiki is, Dr. Usui believed in answering all questions of his disciples. One disciple asked about the method involved in the touch healing used in Christian faith healing. He did not have the answer. He said he will find out. He went on searching for it. He searched through Japan & china. On finding nothing satisfactory there, he came to India, studied Sanskrit, & some scripts. Then he went to Tibet to study more Buddhist scripts. Here he found SADDHARMA-PUNDARIKA SUTRAS (the book on charkas or Body-Lotuses) called Lotus Sutras by the Reiki people. Then he meditated on the mountain Kurama in Kyoto, got enlightenment and got Reiki. Kurama is also a very special place for Martial Arts; it is the abode of the Tengu who impart the secrets of Budo to worthy warriors. Morihei Usheiba, founder of Aikido often took students to the mystical Shojobo Valley to train. Despite what the memorial states it was not usual for this sort of meditation to have been taken on Kurama. However it is recorded that this occurred, but it was very late in his life and long after he had started teaching. In the records, no special event is recorded. In traditional western Reiki a great deal of importance is put on the Kurama story, however, this is not true and not referred to by his students. No evidence is known of his ever being taught in any way by Christian teachers / ministers. He never had any medical training and was never referred to as 'doctor'. This information comes from 'living' students of Mikao Usui some of them are also his relatives. In 1923 shortly before noon on 1st. September, an earthquake shook Tokyo and Yokohama. Over 100,000 deaths were reported. It was the greatest natural disaster in Japanese history. Mikao Usui with his helpers took his healing to the area and as a result of his work became very famous. During this emergency Usui Sensei's way of giving relief was to 'reach out his hands of love to suffering people'. It is quite possible that as he was living & working in the Tokyo area that his school /home may have been directly affected by the earthquake.

Reiki-1
Following the earthquake he was awarded an honorary 'Doctorate of Literature', this was in recognition of his services to the public during the emergency. In the last year of his life, the Naval Commanders - Ushida, Taketomi, Hayashi and others, approached him & asked him to teach them. They only learned his healing method. For them he introduced the term 'Ryuku' which means, someone who is a good practitioner but not familiar with the full teachings. There was no formal teaching structure. 'Usui-sensei told that his method is a spiritual healing technique and an energy healing technique. Spiritual healing brings fundamental healing by helping us to become part of the universal consciousness, while energy healing centres on removing the symptoms of mind and body disorders.' Mikao Usui (1865.8.15-1926.3.9) was born on August 15, 1865 in the village of Taniai in the Gifu district of Japan. In 1920s he developed a spiritual system based on ancient Taoist practices but uniquely Japanese in style. Usui died from a stroke in a town called on March 9, 1926 in Fukuyama in Hiroshima - Ken.

WHAT YOU LEARN IN REIKI-1
In SHUYOKAI i.e. Reiki-1, Shoden ("" in Japanese, meaning "Elementary/Entry Teachings") we learn to heal by touch. Also we get to know about this wonderful science that is so simple. The principles of Reiki let you lead your life more powerfully if followed rightly. The rules of Reiki help you be on the ground in spite of generating this wonderful power to change your life as well as the lives of others and the nature. Reiki 1 begins with the introduction and history of Reiki. Then you learn the GOKAI i.e. Principles of Reiki. These are supposed to be practiced in your daily routine. After learning the principles, a student learns Rules of Reiki that tell you the dos & donts, of Reiki that are to be practiced every time one is giving Reiki to ones own self or to anyone else. Once he learns this well, he learns the principle behind touch healing. Then he learns how to place hands for healing. Then he learns about the most receptive points of healing in the body. Now he learns about how and how long one must place the hands for healing. He practices this healing before attunement. This enables him to know the feelings in the hands before attunement. Now the student is attuned into Reiki 1. After attunement, he has to practice healing again to know the difference in the feeling in hands before and after attunement. Then the teacher gives some concluding tips and tells the student about the areas in life where he can use this healing method. The teacher also tells the student to experiment freely and use this wonderful method in as many ways as he can. Normally, a master teacher also tells the student to practice regularly at least for 21 days. This is just to make sure that the student uses Reiki well. Also the Reiki teacher tells the student to feel free to ask for any support in the Reiki matter anytime he needs.

PRINCIPLES OF REIKI
While practicing Reiki, a Reiki practitioner is expected to follow some principles in daily life. These were given by the founder of Reiki, Dr. Mikao Usui as a method of life that every Reiki practitioner must bring in practice. He called these principles as Gokkai. Usui was an admirer of the literary works of the Emperor Meiji ( Meiji tenn). While in the process of developing his Reiki system, Usui summarised some of the emperor's works into a set of ethical principles, which later became known as the Five Reiki Precepts ( Gokai, meaning "The Five Commandments",
from the Buddhist teachings against killing, thievery, sexual misconduct, lying, and intemperance).
It is common for many Reiki teachers and practitioners to abide by these five precepts, or principles. Of course, they are good even in everyday life for all & mostly taught to all in morals class. As many other principles, these too appear to be easy to preach & difficult to practice. Yet, I have tried to explain them in such a way that their practice can be practical, logical and easier. These principles are:
1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
I I I I I
NOT GET ANGERY. NOT BE WORRIED. BE HONEST IN LIFE. LOVE & RESPECT ALL. BE THANKFUL TO ALL.
Reiki-1
your defeat and helplessness that can ruin you if detected by your opponent and used against you by him.
Reiki-1
worry is a passive resistance to the anticipated unwanted event that weakens you, whereas, taking care is an active preparation to handle the anticipated unwanted event that strengthens you and lets you handle the possible problem as well as the anxiety built due to its possibility.
So, remember, that

Then you stop playing games with yourself. Then you start heading towards being a successful person who dares to face himself!
11
Reiki-1
Love and respect to all makes you respectable and lovable in the eyes of others. Remember all includes you too! So you have to love and respect yourself along with all the other things and persons you love and respect.
12
Reiki-1
If we develop a habit to find out and accept only the positive side of each event, nothing can harm us, at the same time; we get the ability to convert any bad event into good one!

RULES OF REIKI
In the practice of Reiki, we have to avoid certain attitudes when we heal. This helps us to produce a powerful healing with our mind channelled in the right way. While giving Reiki, we must remember these things well. These are as follows:
1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
CONSIDER YOURSELF AS A DOCTOR. GIVE REIKI; MAKE IT AVAILABLE. FORCE REIKI ON ANYONE. GIVE REIKI FOR FREE. BE ATTACHED TO THE RESULT.
16
Reiki-1
Many people interpret this as the theory that tells you to keep doing your work without expecting the result. But this is not so. It says that you have the power (adhikara) to produce the action (karma), not the result (phala). Never try to create (heturbhu) the result (phala). At the same time, never refrain (ma te sangostu) from action (akarmani). This is the most practical explanation about cause and effect relation in nature. We have the power to create the cause that in turn will produce the effect we want. We cannot produce the effect directly. But we must remember that if our cause is right enough to produce the result, we are sure to get the result in due course. So, we must let the cause produce the result & give it necessary time. Law of cause says, if conclusion is wrong, check the premises! If the premises are right, conclusion has to be right. You dont have to expect it, desire it, want it, or so. It is inevitable and will come to you even if you dont expect desire, want or think about it! INTENTIONAL HEALING FOUNDATION: 9820044254 / 9870044254 17

TREATMENT METHOD
Reiki treatment is given to all PHYSICAL, MENTAL, EMOTIONAL & SPIRITUAL level problems. In the advanced levels, we may treat the nature, events, thoughts, machines and many similar things. We can even go beyond space & time and treat the past as well as future events. To treat these, we energize the most receptive points of body. Following steps are followed by many traditional teachers of Reiki; for touch healing as well as complete distance healing of a patient in the later stages, after mentally being grateful to Reiki, the patient & one self: Let the patient lie down on his back. Place your hands on each of the following points for about three to five minutes. Alternately, keep the hands as long as you feel the vibrations & heat in your hands. On the front side, treat the EYES, EARS, TEMPLES, FRONT & BACK FOREHEAD, BACK HEAD, JAWS, FRONT & BACK NECK, SIDES OF NECK, SHOULDER JOINTS, UPPER ARMS, INNER ELBOWS, OUTER ELBOWS, FORE ARMS, WRISTS, BACK OF PALMS, PALMS, LUNG TIPS, THROAT, HEART,

THYROID GLAND, THYMUS GLAND, (DIAPHRAGM) SOLAR PLEXUS, LIVER, PANCREAS & SPLEEN, (NAVAL) HARA, (GROIN) OVARIES or SPERMATIC CORD, THIGHS, FRONT KNEES, BACK KNEES, LOWER LEGS, CALF MUSCLES, ANKLES, FEET & FOOT SOLES. Now, With your index and middle finger stretched and rest of the fingers closed, draw anticlockwise spirals to lock the energies given by you, on both the sides simultaneously, around the patient from his head to toes. For dong this, hold your hands on both sides of the patient, keeping first two fingers straight and joining ring finger, little finger and thumb, and then move both hands from outward to inward in circles from head to toes of the patient at about 2 inches distance from the body on sides. Now ask the patient to turn & lie down on his stomach. Start treating the back side. Here, treat the BACK FOREHEAD, OCCIPITAL LOBE, SHOULDERS, BACK THROAT, BACK SOLAR PLEXUS, KIDNEYS, BACK HARA, BASE OF THE SPINE, BACK THIGHS, BACK KNEES, CALF MUSCLES & HEELS

Now, With your index and middle finger stretched and rest of the fingers closed, draw anticlockwise spirals again, to lock the energies given by you, on both the sides simultaneously, around the patient from his head to toes. For dong this, hold your hands on both sides of the patient, keeping first two fingers straight and joining ring finger, little finger and thumb, and then move both hands from outward to inward in circles from head to toes of the patient at about 2 inches distance from the body on sides. After this, balance the charkas of the patient. To balance chakras, place your hands one on each point mentioned below, at about two inches above the point: Do this for the following points: First place one hand above back third eye and the other above the back root centre. Check the energies here and move only when both hands have the same kind of vibrations. Now move to occipital lobe & back hara. Place the hands there till energies have the same kind of vibrations. Now go to back throat & back solar plexus. Keep the hands till energies have the same kind of vibrations. Now place both hands above back heart and keep the hands there till there is even flow of energy. This will balance the charkas of the patient. This step is necessary to confirm that after healing the energies of the patient are well aligned. Now, place the index & middle finger of your right hand on the uppermost part of spine of the patient and forcefully move the fingers quickly down the spine to the base of the spine. This concludes the whole body treatment. Now you may ask the patient to get up and start his routine. Do not forget the post treatment care instructions. Wash your hands thoroughly after treatment. Change your thoughts to something totally different. Then feel fresh, thank Reiki, and start your routine. I researched and developed these positions: They are much more than the traditional ones, but work wonders!

Dr. Usui used to heal just on a few points and used to heal the whole body. People feel that since today, the Reiki healers do not have the sane power of healing as Dr. Usui, they must heal ALL the points for total healing. But this is a myth, and in todays hectic life schedule, to find time to heal ALL the above points daily is just next to impossible. So, I am giving the healing points used by Dr. Usui for your reference. They were called Head Byosen. Here are the healing points that Dr. Usui used for healing:
