Initiation

We are already a perfect Reiki channel and have Reiki inside us.

Though, somebody has to initiate or start it, who is the Reiki master. Initiation means nothing but activating your energy centres – chakras.

During Reiki initiation your hands are empowered and so that you can use it wherever there is a need for energy. (THOTATHELLAM THULANGUM – as they say in Tamil, otherwise known as the Midas touch)

Why to close our eyes during initiation?

When we are in darkness, we can see light. Reiki removes darkness. Light is always present. When darkness is removed, you can see light.

A guru removes darkness inside you that hides the wisdom inside you – which finds out “Who am I”.

You are already a sage – a guru, even though you are a disciple today. Guru knows how to remove the darkness. You don’t know how.

So you need to seek the help of a guru.

Re-birth Exercise

All unwanted energies will go if we do rhythmic breathing. It’s called as re-birth exercise. The person who found it did only rhythmic breathing through out the day.

This helps us to get ready for initiation.

• The mantras that are played in the CD are “Lum, Vum, Rum, Yum, Hum” in different speeds.
• You don’t need to chant the mantras.
• Start doing inhale with Lum. In next cycle it will be exhale.
• You listen and breathe as per rhythm
• Just focus on your inhale and exhale.
• Don’t need to take a long breath. Just breathe from top of your nose.

While doing the exercise, if you fall asleep, it’s ok.  This is a detoxification exercise before initiation.

Reiki activates chakras through light, while mantras activate them through sound. These are two ways to activate chakras.
