Many believe that Reiki has existed since the beginning of time. Many believe it began in March 1922 on Kumara Yama when Usui Sensei was given the gift of Reiki energy.
When Usui Sensei discovered the energy On Kumara Yama, other Reiki systems were already in use. In 1914 Mataji Kawakami created Reiki Ryoho and in 1919 wrote a book called Reiki Healing and Its Effects. We have an idea of the history however one must wonder where we are going with the energy now.
The law of conservation of energy tells us that energy can neither be created nor destroyed it can only be converted from one form of energy to another form of energy. Reiki is a universal energy life force. Reiki is energy. How many different forms of energy does one need?
You may notice that, as you search the word Reiki, you will discover there are many different systems of Reiki in our world, especially in the last decade.
How can this be when Usui sensei was given the gift of Reiki on that 21st day on Kumara Yama? One may question why Usui Reiki isn’t enough.
If it is universal why is there a need for a specialty such as Angel, Money, Animal, or crystal? Is one better than the other? Of course not. Is one energy a higher frequency than the other? Probably. Does merging another system with Reiki energy create a more powerful energy? That may be something you may need to explore and experience for yourself. I noticed a difference when combining another energy with Usui.
As the lineage of Reiki grows so has the different styles of Reiki.
Some individuals receive the calling to be the caretakers of energy and then share the system with the world. Usui sensei was guided to teach and share the Reiki one way when he passed the gift of Reiki to Dr. Hayashi: Hayashi was guided to make changes based on his experience. When he taught Madame Takata, she eventually made changes because of the ramifications of Pearl Harbor and her experience with the energy. Her 22 masters, Iris Ishikura had the call to make changes when she taught Arthur Robertson. Arthur Robertson made changes to the way he taught and shared Reiki. As you move down the lineage of the line of Master teachers we arrive at the present day where there Is a variety of Reiki systems and various ways to have a Reiki session.
What it comes down to is a matter of finding which one is right for you. The one that works for you, your calling, and your clients. It may be that teacher you feel drawn to or the knowing that this is the system that is for you.
In most Reiki systems, one needs the foundation of Usui or at least the Usui symbols as a baseline. Consider it if you are going to study education instead of general education you want to focus on Elementary or Early Childhood. You would study in that major and obtain the required certification. In Reiki, you can go beyond Usui into a specialty.
It may be beneficial to go a little deeper and it is always good to add more tools to your energetic toolbox.
As I was looking to go a little deeper, I came across Money Reiki. I found this energy a higher vibration from Usui Ryoho which I originally studied. In Money Reiki what appealed to me is that it was changing the mindset from one of poverty to abundance. Offering affirmation and mantras to say daily with the Reiki energy to help the body, Mind, and spirit for when our money challenges come our way. Offering techniques to myself and my students to help call in abundance and prosperity and help change any negative attitude toward money. Money Reiki offers additional symbols to take it one step further and the energy connected to my Usui energy. Usui/Tibetan Usui/Holy Fire and Usui/Money.
Money makes the world go round. Many believe money is the root of all evil. When you look at our world there is a wide gap between the billionaire to the homeless who can’t even purchase a cup of coffee. We all collectively have some type of reaction or emotion around money whether it was put on us intentionally or unintentionally by family or the media.
Money can bring blessing and money can be used for destruction. Money can ruin family relationships and it can assist in funding cures in the medical field.
Think about it what does money mean to you? It can mean freedom to one person and worry for another. What did your family intentionally or unintentionally put on you about money? How can you change your mindset to one of abundance?
How can Reiki change the energy regarding money?
Here are some techniques to try. Remember even though there are many different systems and ways to approach I have found in all the systems that I have studied that the key to Reiki is your intention.
- Bless your money and your bill. Yes, that’s right instead of complaining stay positive. Whether it is physical money or digital. Take a moment to hold the money or the device you are using to send the money and place a blessing or prayer over it. Bless the person receiving it. It will be a person at that company or organization that will open that envelope or receive that transaction. Send the money out with positive energy. Even say your Reiki Principles “Just for today may this person who receives this not worry.”
- Say positive affirmations “I am a money magnet”. Say it until you believe it. “The universe is always working in my favor.” Pepper the affirmations throughout your day.
- Say the positive abundance, wealth, and prosperity say them over the place where you pay your bill. On your phone, computer, or device that you use to pay your bills. You can bring in your Reiki principles.
- Keep a Money Journal and write your positive affirmation. Take note when things work in your favor something we forget the blessings when challenges arrive in our life.
- Play music. Find a song that has the word money in it. Take a moment to dance around your home. Maybe while you are doing chores. Repeat, “I am a money magnet”.
- Create a Money Reiki or Money Blessing Box. Find a box in your home. If you are Reiki-attuned or have a placement, put the symbols inside the box. You can put photos, and business cards, write down goals and dreams send Reiki or blessings to the box.
These are some techniques you can use to assist in creating more abundance in your life. Money Reiki is not a replacement for financial advice and is not a get-rich scheme is another way to use the gift of Reiki to bring healing to a culturally created perception one has over money and to keep the box in a calm relaxed state when faced with money issues.
