Reiki II - Ch 6. Full Body Treatments for More Than One Person Simultaneously

The three methods of Full Body treatments discussed in the previous chapter can also be used for doing Full Body treatment for two (and even more than two) persons simultaneously. Doing full body treatment for self and someone else at the same time is now possible.

Reiki II - Ch 5. Full Body Treatments for Self

A First Degree Channel’s healing abilities has limitations – the foremost being the necessity of touching in all healing situations which just might not be possible in certain situations. Some First Degree Reiki channels are unable to do self treatment even for their own Back Points – maybe because of some physical problems that restrict the movement of the arms.

The Distant Healing ability of the Second Degree comes in handy for all Reiki channels facing these kinds of problems.

Having said that, touch treatments are known to be more effective (at least in the initial learning stages) and it is recommended that this system be used whenever it is a viable option for a few weeks or even months after learning the concepts of the Second Degree. Use the touch system till such time that the belief that “Distant Healing Works” does not become a part of your personal consciousness.

Reiki II - Ch 4. Few More Tips for an Enhanced Experience

Drawing the Symbols:

When drawing the symbols, there are several methods that can be used. You may draw them in your mind. Or you may literally draw them in the space in front of you by using the tips of your fingers. You can also sketch the symbols on the palm of a hand with your forefinger of the other hand.  I personally recommend drawing the symbols in the mind to avoid attracting attention while doing Reiki in public places.

Reiki II - Ch 3. The Second Degree Practice

There are two basic levels of learning in the Reiki System: the First Degree and the Second Degree. The First Degree channels have the limited ability of working on the physical level with very minor gains at the Mental and Emotional levels. 
 
The Second Degree practice gets much better as it enables working on all these levels simultaneously. A confident Second-Degree channel has the ability to work on all possible problems that can crop up in the life of a modern human – a few of which have been discussed in the previous post.

Reiki II - Ch 2. Link between Thoughts, Stresses & Diseases

An average human being at any given point in time has hundreds, maybe thousands of thoughts occupying the space of his mind every day. These thoughts, though seemingly innocuous, have the potential to transform into stresses which can then become ticking time bombs having the potential to turn into major ailments.

These thoughts need to be dealt with appropriately at the proper time preferably before the related diseases manifest in the physical body.

For example, Financial Situation can be the main stress in an individual’s life. This stress is not a physical disease to start with AND can actually work in his favour. This will happen only if he makes a conscious decision to look at, and then work upon, the reasons for his current financial state. On the other hand, the same stress, if left unchecked, can result in an increased blood pressure. This, we already know is the starting point for a number of other physical ailments.

Reiki II - Ch 1. The Natural Ability to Heal (that we humans have apparently lost)

As a teenager, the thought that used to bother me every now and then was “Why do we humans have to struggle and work hard in order to be healthy while all the other animals apparently live in a state of great health effortlessly?” 

We (generally) are unable to attain the state of health that we desire in spite of putting in hours of hard work i.e. if at all we are able to put in the efforts that are desired. It is a rare human who is able to attain great vibrant health and also be able to maintain it over a lifetime – even for the fittest among us.

I do think that the animals living in the wild, on the other hand, have it easy. “What a comparison?” some may say. But please bear with me. I do like to believe that the wild animals do not have to constantly watch what they are eating, when they are eating and whether or not they are getting all the nutrients that are required by their bodies.
 
And yet they are healthy in a natural effortless kind of way. Are you getting what I am trying to say here or where am I coming from??
 
All things considered, being a healthy human is a rather challenging task in spite of the large amount of knowledge that is readily available. The fact that most of this knowledge seems to be rather contradictory is also adding to the confusion.
