We present an article, Reiki A Channel of Universal Power Part II. An unseen force in the universe is at work for the existence of the universe. As the appearance or creation of the world, something energy is working around us. Each creature or each being is directly or indirectly, this way or that way, less or more connected to universal power.
The application of this supreme power or universal power was considered a spiritual sadhana (Practice) in ancient times. It was also later used for spiritual healing and Pranic Healing. The means of practice was dhyana (Meditation) or tapa (Austerity). The sages and seers practiced intense tapas and meditated to attain supreme power and blessings. They used this power to uphold righteousness, destroy evil, and bless and empower devotees.
This universal power as a healing therapy was partially applied by Buddha, but it was not used in public because of his different mission to spread peace all over the world.
In the 19th century, Dr. Mikau Usui, a Buddhist devotee, experienced supreme energy during 21 days of deep meditation on a Japanese hill. After this realization while meditating, he then achieved different experiences from his great energy that he had felt from his deep saadhanaa. After this successful application in his society, he decided to promote this energy as a healing therapy. He gave the name ‘Reiki’ in Japanese word, for this healing therapy.
The Japanese word ‘Reiki’ has two words, Rei + Ki that is Rei means universal power, and Ki means Energy or cosmos intelligence. In this therapy, the healer gets the energy from the universe and transfers it to the receiver, who is a channel. This therapy is not only the therapy, it is also the techniques for meditation. This therapy or technique has many meditation paths, breathing techniques, awareness, loving kindness, art of silence, art of hypnotism and spiritual healing techniques as well.
