Why Am I An Energy Healer?

I live and work in an environment where energy healing is common. Yet a question that often comes to me is: why did you become an energy healer? I cannot address this question without digging a little into my personal history. As a child, I suffered severe physical, emotional and sexual abuse from members of my family, including my own mother. Although I tried conventional therapy for several years after graduating college and did find it useful, there was often a sense of something inside me that still was unhealed. No matter how much therapy I did, nor how many modes of therapy I tried, I still felt like a part of me was unclean and unhealed.

Once I became initiated into Reiki, and also began investigating other energetic modes of healing, I heard about concepts that never arose in my therapy sessions. Some teachers would talk about the energetic cords that exist between people, and show techniques of how to clear these cords. Also, I began to have a greater understanding of the karmic conditioning that can be created in a person’s energy field, as well as how to release that conditioning.

I began working with Reiki and other energetic techniques to clear the energy cords between me and those members of my family who abused me when I was a child. These energetic clearings sometimes involved higher level Reiki symbols, sending energy backwards in time, and other concepts that again were outside the box of traditional therapy. Over time, by using these techniques repeatedly, I began to feel clean, and the cloud of shame and unworthiness that I had felt most of my life began to disappear. 

The work I did was so dramatic that in September of 2004 I was able eventually to return to the home where I once lived, the place where most of my abuse occurred, without it negatively impacting me. It was just a short visit, after a seven day energy healing training in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I almost didn’t go to the training, because I was afraid of experiencing the migraine headaches I was accustomed to whenever being near the place I grew up in Albuquerque, New Mexico. But, on the advice of my teacher, a wonderful healer named Alexandra Marquardt, I went ahead with the training. Midway through the training I felt a cloud lift out of my karmic body from the work we were doing. The cloud felt like a puff of yellow smoke floating out of my spine through my crown chakra at the top of my head. In that moment, I knew I could return to the house I had grown up in without any trauma returning to me. When the training ended, I asked a friend to drive me to Albuquerque so I could visit the home where I had grown up. I did so, and felt no sadness, no pain, no trauma at all, as if the energy cords between me and all who had harmed me were now clear, as were the energetic imprints left upon the house and the land. I felt free, truly free in a way I thought I never would.

I give thanks to all the energy healers who have been part of my journey, some of whom were Reiki Masters, and others who were shamans and other adept energetic healers. Today when people ask me why I am an energy healer, the answer is that it is through energy healing that I was able to free that child who had been buried inside of me. Although therapy helped on some levels, it was through clearing the deeper energetic layers of my psyche, clearing those energetic hooks and cords between me and my abusers, and eventually clearing the actual space where the abuse occurred that allowed me to actually become free. So, that is why I am an energy healer, because it has given me the gift of freedom, the emotional freedom, physical freedom and spiritual freedom to no longer be chained to my past.

What is a Reiki affirmation and how do you make one?

A Reiki affirmation is a phrase, like any other affirmation, which you repeat daily to create a positive change in your own life. Unlike a typical affirmation, a Reiki affirmation takes the process one step further and literally sends to the person speaking the affirmation a mini Reiki treatment in perfect alignment with the intention of the affirmation. Below are a couple Reiki affirmations from my book New Reiki Software for Divine Living which you can try using just to learn how they feel:

I am one and at peace with all that is. I am one and at peace with all that is. I am one and at peace with all that is.

Or, try this one:

I am releasing all negative thought patterns and replacing them with love and light. I am releasing all negative thought patterns and replacing them with love and light. I am releasing all negative thought patterns and replacing them with love and light.

How this works is that each affirmation is literally empowered with Mikao Usui’s Reiki Crystal of Awakening, and the Reiki crystal inside each affirmation is programmed to send Reiki in alignment with the affirmation to anyone who speaks the affirmation out loud.

If you want to create your own Reiki affirmation, first you would need to be empowered to this new Reiki tool called Mikao Usui’s Reiki Crystal of Awakening, which you can learn from anyone else who is empowered to it, or from the book New Reiki Software for Divine Living available at http://www.amazon.com/New-Reiki-Software-Divine-Living/dp/1782790047 . Once empowered to the Reiki crystal, then meditate to create a phrase that would be a good affirmation for you to use. You can even ask your Reiki crystal to bring you into a meditation to deepen this process if you wish, and the Divine intelligence within the crystal will marinate with your consciousness to help you write the best affirmation for your path at this time. Once you have written the affirmation, then simply ask your Reiki crystal to empower it. You literally do this by whispering an instruction to your Reiki crystal that it empower the affirmation to have its own Reiki crystal. It will take a few minutes for your Reiki crystal to energetically recreate another Reiki crystal inside the affirmation, and give it five minutes just to be safe (though most likely it will take just 2-3 minutes). Once the affirmation is empowered to its own Reiki crystal then program it with your thoughts/intention (these energetic Reiki crystals can be programmed, just like a physical crystal) so that it will send Reiki in perfect alignment with affirmation to anyone who says the affirmation.

That’s all you need to do. Once programmed, the Reiki affirmations become useful Reiki tools you can use for yourself, or share with anyone who might find them useful.

A psalm is a sacred song or hymn, and although often attributed to the Bible there are psalms in other spiritual traditions as well. The Reiki psalms below are intended to ellicite a deeper sense of communion with the Divine. They function similarly to Reiki affirmations, but are deeper energetically and more eloquent.  Simply reading the Reiki psalm engages you with an energetic Reiki blessing contained inside of each psalm, though speaking each out loud will engage you with an even deeper layer of the Reiki blessing. Each of the Reiki psalms is intended not as a replacement for your own spiritual tradition, but to help access a deeper energetic form of the Divine grace that Reiki is.

Reiki Psalm 1

Bless the world as seen through my eyes

And teach me to listen

Inside every hour is a universe

a place of time

from which I can neither escape nor move

but must wade slowly

captured by grace

exhalted to witness that which is beyond my comprehension

I expand eternally with each breath

Yet cannot know what it means to be limitless without end

except in this moment

Reiki Psalm 2

When light becomes word

and word becomes joy

there I am deeply immersed in Divine grace

allowing it to surround my ego

dissolving the me that I was never born to become

but only meant to awaken

Reiki Psalm 3

My wounded heart wishes to be whole

and filled with prophecy of times unlearned

where the gift of love is boundless

and all in every direction is praise for the mad glory of existence

There I will see that which is the cure to my ailment

There will I be held and nourished with infinite light

There will I know who I am beyond the self I have imagined myself to be

Reiki Psalm 4

Protect me from the angry words of others

And take away all my suffering

Bring peace to my ears

Bring peace to my eyes

Bring peace to my thought

So that I may be reborn into light

So that each whisper of Divine word

is one I can capture and taste

Let me consume this light

and also be consumed by it

Let me ravish the flesh of this light

and be ravished within it

Let me shout love for all beings

and see that love reflected back to me

as it is simultaneously then sent back to them as well

Let me know who I came into this world to be

Reiki Psalm 5

To be in bed with the Divine

and sleep with a nursed pillow

and feel held eternally

why would anyone not desire this

let me end all need for explanation

even to my own mind

let my mind be lost in the thrill of its own emptiness

for that is the only place I can know

A wave of light washes my face

purifying the image of who I send into the world

Another wave of light caresses my heart

telling me there is no need to feel alone

How can I do anything but dance in this place

to empty myself of anything other than ecstacy

Reiki Psalm 6

I am falling through an infinite window in time

and as I fall I know I am falling through everywhere

moving through each kind thought

roaming the ignition of galaxies and stars

eternally grasping with my fingers at the yes of all existence

Reiki Psalm 7

Surrender and give yourself away

Each tower built is created only to be tumbled into a gemstone of emptiness

Surround yourself with a simple task

which is to love

Reiki Psalm 8

Some see the light as a business

others as a hierarchy

others still, as not existing at all

yet I see the light as eminating eternally

growing me back into the moment of my destiny

rounding the curve of the latest square

bringing passion to the numbers on an infinite line of digits

solving the mystery before expanding it into a glorious feast

I am light and came from light

I am the food from which I must grow

I am the being which has never been the same in any given moment

And yet I try to define myself endlessly

only to round myself amusingly into a ball

like a small child

whistling to the sky as an ant plays and struggles with a blade of grass

so tender is the way of knowing

Reiki Psalm 9

Burn yourself like a peice of paper

becoming heat and light

never fearing the ashes of your own illumination

Reiki Psalm 10

Within the avenues of time

excellence becomes a wall

perfect placement of hands

a twisted arrogance of symbols

then, the marketing of everything to stay alive

So gratefull am I to be still in this moment

unconcerned with the destiny of others

just to breathe in the light

and feel illuminated

as if there was no one in the universe to worry about

not even myself

Reiki Psalm 11

Implant your thoughts within the Reiki crystal

and let it unwind within you all that needs release

Be as a cosmic star ready to shine your brilliance among the heavens

Have you ever known a star afraid of its own light?

Or witnessed a galaxy shame itself being being too illuminated

Yet we who are human prefer to doubt that light within

To tuck it under ourselves

and let it bleed until the light itself is gone, and only a shadow exists

Cast off all that you are not willing to be

even the replacement for yourself so well manufactured with manners and social niceties

be true to the light within

and the light without will shine even brighter than before

Reiki Psalm 12

Unfold wise acres of light

with songs of light

become wisdom

as energy passes

trapping not even the witnessing of your own mind

as these words are written so too do they pull from the intelligence

of Divine mind

Who created this body of language

Where are you being when not thinking of yourself

Become, and the universe will indulge you

Run away, and it will chase after you like a zealot

Reiki Psalm 13

Chase yourself like a dog after its own tail

the bonus of living in a modern world

to update your own image relentlessly

yet with soft hands you can understand the meaning of time

and with soft eyes you can hear the sound of each angel singing to God

and with soft legs, you can stand strong never to be pushed over

Give your silence to yourself

And know the road to heaven is paved with emptiness

Reiki Psalm 14

Challenges disturb the mind

yet we harness our wisdom from ancient laws

which many are now dormant, lost, forgotten

What new laws can one read that are still ancient

like carrying a prayer uphill inside a bucket of water

waiting to spill it on those you love

Just step forward

let your hands drop

and all will be amazing

Reiki Psalm 15

Enter into the splendid Divine

like tumbling as a child into a pool of water

with laughter and joy

all you ever imagined is still possible

still within reach

just hold the belief

shine your eyes upon your fingertips

and let wishes fly from your mind like butterflies

Reiki Psalm 16

This great fascination with ego and mind

We are all nothing more

than imaginary friends of the Divine

Reiki Psalm 17

Again I am no one

whispering in the light of the Divine

telling myself who I am by the words that I see

going into places I cannot know, yet have felt inside of me forever

I am bleeding now

and each drop is a desire to know and be known

to learn and be taught

here in the classroom of Divine mind

I gain all that I need to know

becoming precious as a drop of honey

Reiki Psalm 18

Relax into the plentiful now

where many universes dance simultaneously

each one a precious child of the Divine

like a wheelbarrow of candy displayed through all time

Our hands cannot know which piece is meant for us

where to grasp and let go

of what it is we need to be soft enough

or hard enough

to chew or let our tongues dance lightly

so sweet is this life

I fall deep into the sugar of each moment

knowing I myself will eventually be eaten

like candy for the Divine

Reiki Psalm 19

Numbers tickle my eyes

as if anything can be less than infinite

to swallow the hard digits as real

when the luminous essence behind them is a nectar

unfolding eternally

grasped not by mind, nor even heart

but in the act of ever emptying

there I can stand tall

almost naked to the world

knowing myself

both human and beyond

Reiki Psalm 20

Sweeter than I ever came to be

joined by the mystery of now

and a chatter as wise as the loose lips of a stranger

I dance with each moment

and breathe sighs upon the canvass of the sky

deliver this now

Usui has given me a gift far beyond my ability to comprehend

Reiki Psalm 21

Beloved inner being

where is the crest of your knowledge

delightful and loud

twisting like a lover inside a cloud

I choose not to see myself in the mirror

just wondering if the power of reflection itself

is enough

to keep measuring the eyes of time

Reiki Psalm 22

I became a rainbow illuminated at night

how noble for the suns rays to find me there

twisting through the atmosphere

to brighten my world from the inside out

seeing golden speeches of color dance through me and beyond

Reiki Psalm 23

Below myself I escape

into the dust

of who I am

and there am blown across the landscape of destiny

so curious to be launched like a ship full of ceremony and praise

awake to each storm, the greatest of which is always inside

my hands light up like lamps

filled with an eternal oil

I am alive

always seeking to be yes and yes and over again

tumbling with each wave of light

being rediscovered at my core

Reiki Psalm 24

My eyes have awakened

seeing only that which is

aspiring to be love

Behind my face

no one resides

and inside my ears

there is only a mantra of Divine names

Explode with me into a speckle of eternal laughter

Each syllable a crown made of gold

Reiki Psalm 25

Let go of all explanation

There is no mind to convince

No place that is capable of regulating life

Only mystery unfolding

To cherish each footstep

all by itself

the footstep cherishing the body as well

Go into the quietly opening spaces

and there stand

until no sound is capable of manifesting

not even a prayer

for prayers themselves can even be a distraction at times

Be a prayer

rather than reciting one

.

Reiki Psalm 26

I roll about inside infinity

dragging my mind in my hands
if only I could let it go

like a flower

to be something on its own

Split open my thoughts

to spill light into each one

and let it radiate like a galaxy

spinning open in the hand of the Divine

.

Reiki Psalm 27

Bliss is the name of love

even when tired

even when lost

but to smile in those moments

when tears are almost raining from your eyes

that is the precious way of being

the rotunda of your consciousness echoing out the brightest star

such Divine language we speak

Do not allow yourself to be mute

when conversing of love

.

.

Reiki Psalm 28

Be alone in the winter of time

There you will find all that is needed

to witness each star witnessing you

then to inhale each band of starlight

Fear nothing

when nothing

is fearful

Be loved

when love

is being you

note the answers

most given

by birds, animals and strangers

they usually speak the truth

.

Reiki Psalm 29

Today angels scrubbed my face with joy

and instead of taking them for granted

I worshipped the light they are made of

I smoked their feathers to intoxicate my mind with Divine ecstatic madness

I reveled in their dances, their songs to all creation

and then I imagined what it must mean for an angel to fly

to fly and yet be made of nothing but light

how swell an offering each act of ascension must be

Dismantling the subrhythms

the turbulant desicions

I burst open into pure light

and shined like an arch angel gone super nova

.

Reiki Psalm 30

There is no language beyond

no ancient script that can illuminate

the disjointed aspects of humanity

until every hair sings the right song

and each elbow is tucked away and ready

to be the partner in a universal dance

How can one fail when dancing arm linked with brother or sister

How can we give mercy to our friends

and not discuss their failings in their absence

How can we know the greatest service to ourselves

is to serve the need of everyone

.

Reiki Psalm 31

Infinity cast out like dice

rolling to scrub my eyes

until the game is won

I sing the song of infinity

and dance along the enternal kiss

.

Reiki Psalm 32

Love is an orchard of strangers

each holding an apple

filled with the brightest light imaginable

if only we will breathe

.

Reiki Psalm 33

In this moment

radiate your heart in the direction of love

make this your compass

the true north

by which every action is measured

and every thought is known

dance with your feet wanting to turn the planet

each time they touch the earth

these are simple words to live by

just know them

Below is a chapter excerpt from my recently completed book manuscript titled NEW REIKI SOFTWARE FOR DIVINE LIVING

Late in April of 2012 I was about to go to sleep and was shown on an energetic level the deep level of consciousness that exists in computers, that computers are an extension of the human mental body on a massive scale. I was also told by my guides in that moment that I should attune the world wide web of the internet to Reiki. Since there is no one rightful owner of the internet, and it is in the public domain, I asked the angels and devas of both Reiki and the internet if this was for the highest good of all and was told that it was. So, in that moment I worked with these same angels and devas, and my higher self and all my Reiki guides to empower the internet to Mikao Usui’s Reiki Crystal of Awakening. Later the next day I sent a tweet that the world wide web was now attuned to Reiki.

What this means is that the Divine consciousness that exists within Mikao Usui’s Reiki Crystal of Awakening, that same consciousness and energetic healing ability, can now be accessed through the internet. There is no website to go to, no Facebook page or Twitter account to use or follow. It is the internet itself.

The way anyone can access this is simply by being online on their laptop, mobile phone or any other device that connects to the internet. Once online, you simply type into the body of an email, or tweet, or Facebook update the exact details of the Reiki treatment you are requesting the internet to send. The best way to experiment with this concept, which is certainly at the edge of what most people may be willing to believe, is to go online and type into a Google search engine the following phrase: The internet is sending me Reiki as I look at this page. Then, without actually performing a Google search simply sit in front of your computer and allow the internet to send you Reiki. Again, if you are someone who does not sense energy healing it will be very unlikely that this concept will make much sense, as I admit it is at the edge of what one might find beleivable. Yet if you are one who is energy sensitive my experience is that you will feel Reiki begin to flow to you once you have typed in the phrase into the search bar.

How this works is that once it was empowered to Mikao Usui’s Reiki Crystal of Awakening the internet’s own consciousness, however mechanical or evolved it may be, also merged to some degree with the Divine consiousness that exists in the Reiki crystal. So, when you type into an email, or Facebook update, or any place on the internet any kind of command or request that the internet send Reiki, that request is activated within Mikao Usui’s Reiki Crystal of Awakening. Just that instead of projecting that thought into your own Reiki crystal you are projecting it into the Reiki crystal that now exists within the internet itself. And, as you have experienced so far in this book, it is when your own thoughts are projected into the Reiki crystal that the healing is activated.

Another way to look at this issue is that the internet is a physical representation of the group mind of all who use it. So, by attuning the internet, the physical representation of that group mind, it isn’t that every computer or every person hooked in to the internet is now a Reiki practitioner, but that this shared wisdom, this collective of ideas and thoughts, is now imbued with Divine consciousness and an energetic Reiki crystal that will allow anyone who wishes to access Reiki to be able to do so through the internet.

Again, my Reiki theories are always backed up by experiment. So, if you are one who senses energy healing, then go to your computer now and try the above experiment on your own. If you are one who does not experience any sensation from energy healing, then gather those friends or acquaintenances you know who do feel energy healing, and ask them to perform the same experiment.

When perfoming the experiment it is important to write that the internet is sending the treatment. If you make the mistake of writing the statement without specifically indicating that the internet is sending the treatment, the experiment will not work. Also, make sure you are typing into some system directly connected and online at the moment you are writing it. In other words, typing the phrase into a word document will not have any impact, since that is an internal software of your computer, not a component of the internet. In order for the experiment to work, the typed phrase must be directly into an internet search engine, email account, or some form of social media account that is active and online.

Once you have tried the experiment and understand that it does work, you can then use this form of Reiki as a suppliment to bring Reiki into daily life. I would never use this technique for a professional Reiki healing. But I would use it for things like helping release stress during a difficult day at work, by simply typing into the body of an email to myself that the internet is sending Reiki to me in my office for ten minutes. I use this kind of technique during a day when I will not have time to send Reiki to myself, but when I do have a spare few seconds to type out an email. Try it and see for yourself the impact it can have on reducing stress in the workplace.

Another way to use this technique is to email short mini Reiki treatments to friends and family. This is not intended to deminish the value or sacredness of a deep one on one Reiki healing, but instead is intended to awaken both the one receiving the treatment as well as the one sending the email that Reiki is available to us always, and that the Divine is present with us even during the most mundane aspects of our daily lives.

Play with this idea and see what your own results may be. When I first shared this concept with one of my friends and disclosed to her how it worked, for a few minutes it was very tempting to think of how this could be turned into a Reiki app, a Reiki video game and other such options that would have been more about me and others making money than about any sense of expanding the possibilites of Reiki to a wider circle. But my sense is that this is information that is meant to be shared freely.

Play with the following internet Reiki options:

1. Write into an email that the internet will send a Reiki energetic clearing to your home or office.
2. Send an email Reiki mini treatment to a friend (as long as you have their permission to do so).
3. Create a Reiki group on social media that promotes and uses these Reiki internet techniques to send Reiki to larger world issues. Imagine, a million people with a facebook status update where they are sending Reiki to world peace...how that might impact the consciousness of our world at large.

The possibilities are endless. The only limit, as long as you are respecting free will, is your own imagination.
