SOONER OR LATER WE ALL GET WHACKED Our journeys lead us into situations that we did not anticipate, with consequences we don’t want and cannot always handle. We take on physical and emotional scars and accumulate baggage and burdens that slow us down and dim our optimism. We hit a wall and fall down or fall apart. The working hypothesis didn’t allow for a car smash, a disabled child, a demented mother, a heart attack, or just plain old-fashioned loss of meaning, loneliness, and isolation. It’s time to re-think who we are and what we think we are about.
REIKI JUST TURNS UP Reiki comes to us somewhere along the track. It may not be something that we notice particularly and is not something that we necessarily choose. It turns up. We may think that we’ve chosen reiki, but on reflection it may appear that reiki has chosen us. First experiences vary. People notice
warmth and tingling, a pleasant sense of relaxation, calmness, a lessening of pain and distress. These subjective experiences translate into objectively useful techniques—reiki is increasingly used in hospitals and clinical contexts to increase patient well-being and speed recovery. There is potential here to reduce the economic burden of hospitalisation and loss of productivity in the workplace.
Once we’ve been trained and empowered to receive the reiki energy, things start to change. The world starts to seem different. For some, it can be a release of burdens, tensions, and toxins in a dramatic manner. Mostly, though, our lives change slowly and subtly and it is only on looking back that the change in the trajectory of the journey becomes apparent. The baselines have shifted. We are still ordinary people. Nothing
is outwardly changed. There is no great shift into a life that is full of sweetness and light where everything goes right. But the reiki energy is like yeast working quietly within, allowing us to change, to become lighter, to become filled with light.
REIKI IS REAL – IT WORKS For nearly 100 years reiki has been ‘road tested’ by people seeking physical relief, emotional comfort and/or spiritual connection. At the physical level, there are abundant reports of rapid healing of wounds, the release of toxins stored in the tissues of the body, relaxation, reduction of stress, and pain relief. After observation by millions of people around the world, the scientific establishment is catching up with these potentials. Dr David McManus has a paper now in publication detailing the increasing number of formal scientific studies that confirm what reiki people already know. Importantly, these studies offer proof, to those who need it, that reiki provides valid,

AND COMPLIANT: WE FOLLOW THEM IN ORDER TO BECOME AND REMAIN VALID MEMBERS OF OUR TRIBE.//
measurable outcomes. It is not placebo, psychological delusion, or witchcraft. The accumulation of emotional and
psychological burdens is also affected by reiki. We tend to swallow our negative emotions and fail to discharge the effects of shock. Our fight or flight reactions leave traces in our chemistry and in our psyche. These loiter beneath the level of consciousness, inhibit our joy and restrict our ability to move forward on our journey towards enlightenment. Over time, many reiki people notice that this layer of unwanted energy starts to release and resolve. Problems diminish; life gets easier. Reiki enhances psychic ability, even
in those who deny such a possibility. Reiki channels are routinely taught to send healing and to communicate at a distance. It is so very simple to function consciously outside space and time that the full implications of this are not immediately apparent.
