Harmony
in Your Reiki Community?
by
Laurelle Shanti Gaia
What is the
climate in your Reiki community? Do the
practitioners and teachers know one another and
work together, or do they avoid each other, gossip
about
one another, or behave like competitors?
A very short time ago, the Reiki community in
Louisville, Kentucky was not unified. Some felt
competitive with others, teachers didn't
understand each other's style, or class content,
and some were wishing for a connection with others
that was illuminated by the true way of Reiki.
I prayed to find people who would like to connect
in a positive way to share Reiki in a regular
Healing Circle. I did a small mailing to promote
one of my classes, and was pleasantly surprised to
receive a call from another Reiki Master, who had
recently moved here from New York, Kathie. She
said "I am already a Reiki Master, so I'm not
really interested in classes, but I knew your
letter was important, and I feel we should meet."
We met and bonded instantly. She did ultimately
take the classes we offer through the Center
because she had been looking for an organized,
consistent format to share with her students, and
liked our program. Kathie is a self-described
net-worker, and put me in contact with many
wonderful people.
As the weeks went by, we expanded our awareness,
and activated our Reiki "antennae" looking for
others who
might be interested in working together to build
harmony
in our community. We made it known that our belief
is
that the Universe has an infinite supply of
everything
we need, therefore there is no need for
competitiveness.
If we work in the true spirit of Reiki, sharing
our love,
light and knowledge openly, we will receive
abundance on all levels of our lives.
If we say only kind things
about
one another, we enhance the spirit
of Reiki everywhere.
When Kathie and I felt that we had made enough
contacts to begin, we created a mission statement
for the group, and a format for our first meeting.
Our mission is to promote a spirit of cooperation
between Reiki practitioners and teachers, to share
information, to practice Reiki on one another, and
to join together for universal and personal
healing projects. The first meeting was attended
by 18 people, and the second 26, and we have had
many calls by others who want to attend our next
meeting, and bring friends. One of the group
members said next meeting we will need an
auditorium, and next year the fairgrounds. We
won't be surprised to see that happen.
If you would like to start a circle in your
community, you may be interested in our meeting
format. We open with brief introductions, then we
join our hearts and minds together in prayer,
asking that our mission of promoting harmony be
accomplished in this meeting. Two Reiki Masters
lead the group discussion, and there are one or
two brief instructional sessions. There is time to
share Reiki stories, and miracles since the last
meeting. Then we break up into groups of 4 or 5
and do 10 minute Reiki treatments on each other.
The last 1/2 hour is group distant healing, and a
Universal prayer circle closes our meeting. The
group energy is powerful and beautiful, and we
recognize what a blessing it is to share our
community with one another.
If we are truly to build harmony throughout the
Reiki community around the world, we must focus on
becoming a united light. If your community doesn't
have Healing Circle, take the first step and start
one. If your community already has a group, go to
the meetings, share your love and do your part to
create peace and healing.
