Reiki + Community=Global TransformationA Story by Eileen DeyHow coming together as a group to practice Reiki effects all members in a postive way to therefore spread peace, well-being and harmony to the planet.
16 people gave and received Reiki last night at our circle, transforming themselves and by default, vibrationally effecting the world. Some come for the personal connection to Reiki with others. Some have specific physical or emotional concerns they need addressed. We said farewell to one member, who was headed on her own spiritual journey to a far away state. Most who come realize that Reiki is the unifying force, but that it is practiced differently by each individual. Some prefer hands-on, some hands-off. Practitioners start as strangers and leave as friends. The following is from my book, Touching the World Through Reiki: The perception of “stranger” dies in such an environment. People come together to send healing energy to each other, to the world. Their individual differences are blurred into the healing collective. No one ego stands out. No one is greater than the other. Each person may have certain skills that differ, but together they form a healing unit that amplifies all those individual abilities and makes the unit function as a whole. Circles are places of deep healing and self-discovery. They provide a safe environment of support and embrace and love reminiscent of being held by a universal mother. The circle becomes the receptacle for a recipient’s self-discovery and healing: “How do I feel about being held by those I had perceived as strangers? These people are now coming together to help me on my path. They have never met me, and yet they hold me.” Each one in turn receives from the group in an equal balance of giving and receiving. There are no expectations. There are circles being held all over the world, in many different environments. I feel that as time goes on, we will see more of them in traditional arenas like hospitals, corporate spaces, and educational institutions because circles do offer an immediate experience of stress-reduction and relaxation. Reiki circles as social healing phenomena are beginning to reach their potential. Continue to watch the world transform through the building of healing community and the sharing of Universal Energy. © 2011 Eileen Dey |
