Hi,
How many times have we all said Reiki, is Reiki, is Reiki. How many times have we all said when working with the energy it is imperative to "just let go"?Â

To get things in life, whether it is material possessions, financial wealth, or a even a specific person in our lives we are all taught to pursue. If we want something, we find it and go after it. We are taught that we have to do the work. We have to 'make' it happen.Â
So lets look at our Reiki practice. In Usui we are taught focus, awareness, intent, symbols, love and on and on. We are taught to do the work to 'make it happen'. Very similar to the non-Reiki portion of our lives. BUT, the bottom line is, we do not do the work, we do not make it happen - the energy comes from the Source, to the recipient. We are the channels and nothing more.Â
I believe what we are taught through Usui is a good starting point. It takes us from a place of not believing or not understanding to a place of having faith, trust, and knowing that we are not alone on this journey. It helps us to see that 'it' the energy, the support, the very essence of being is there for us all the time, it is our choice to use it, to see it, to feel it.Â
To question if the simpler process of Kundalini is enough, I think it is not that we are questioning the energy, or the process, instead we are really questioning our own abilities. When starting out with Kundalini we again need to learn that belief, trust and faith. So the 'work' is not about focusing on any rituals to perform, the work is about letting go and trusting that our connections to the Source are there and that healing will go to where it is needed.
Our challenge with any type of Reiki is to trust and believe it is happening. It asks us to work on ourselves, to open up enough that we can say "I know!" instead of "Is it?".
With light and love,
