Reiki
What is Reiki?
Reiki, pronounced ‘Ray-Key’. Literally translated from the Japanese; Reiki means ‘spiritual energy’. Reiki comes from the Divine Source of all ‘that is’ and is not a religion in itself. Its creator was Usui Mikao who taught his students tools for spiritual development. Usui’s approach appears to have been to help practitioners to break down tier accumulated old patterns and ‘bad habits’. In this way practitioners would gradually discover their true nature and realise that, inherently, each person is the keeper of all the knowledge that he or she requires. The basic premise of Usui’s method is that healing exists within each person, not outside, and therefore the essence of his teachings is self-practice. The ultimate healing tool is the practitioner’s own dedication to healing the self. Reiki has, subsequently, developed into a form of hands-on energy healing for others as well ourselves.

Raku Kei Reiki
The Raku-Kei system was developed by Reiki Masters Iris Ishikura and Arthur Robertson. It is believed that Raku-kei was practiced secretly in Tibet for a long time. Raku is the vertical flow of energy and Kei is the horizontal flow of energy in the body. The two cross at the 'Hara' or solar plexus centre. In the Samurai ritual of 'Hara Kiri' it is this centre which the Samurai warrior would cut out, effectively cutting out the 'centre of his being' by the implementation of three sacred cuts in the form of a triangle (the symbol of manifestation).
Raku Kei is sometimes referred to as "The way of the Fire Dragon", the Fire Dragon representing the personal kundalini energy coiled up at the bottom of the spine. The dragon is also linked to the 'airy' or mental aspect of our nature. Mastering the Dragon energy is mastering the mind. The Chinese use the expression 'chasing the dragon' in opium smoking because dragons have always provoked fear in the weak-minded, but have inspired leaders and countries to adopt the symbol of the dragon as a powerful symbol of strength and fortitude. Dragons have always been linked to having fiery breath by which they overcome their adversaries. It is this breath, with the fire being supplied by the RAKU energy that blasts away obstacles to a clear mind, thereby bringing understanding to the student and presenting a clear channel for the attunement to take place. The seven major chakra points, the seven colours of the rainbow and the seven notes of the musical scale are all connected and balanced harmoniously with the various Raku Kei symbols to create a powerful healing and development key.

Seichim Reiki
The Western lineages of Seichim come from an American healer, Patrick Zeigler, who went to Egypt for a holiday when he was working in Yemen. He visited the Great Pyramid at Giza and stayed within the pyramid overnight when it had closed to the public. In the King’s Chamber, he experienced a beautiful living energy with a strong love vibration which was Seichim come into the chamber, moving in a figure of eight pattern. Patrick allowed the energy to enter his energy field, and spent the night learning how to hold the energy in his heart centre. Some time later back in the U.S.A., he developed a way of passing on the Seichim energy to other people. People down the lineage from Patrick played key roles in developing teaching structures for Seichim without his direct input in the process. As Patrick Zeigler has not tried to define or to describe Seichim to avoid creating limitations on people’s understanding or experiences of Seichim, comparisons are difficult.
The Seichim energy is high frequency and works from the soul level downwards into the physical body. Whilst it gives the initial impression of being a very gentle energy, it is in fact very powerful. It works to heal issues resulting from polarity imbalance, and is connected with the integration of the energies of the elements of Fire and Water. It is the precursor to Sekhem and it is its foundation.

Reflexology
Reflexology works on the principle that the reflex area of the hands and feet correspond to areas on the body. When an imbalance occurs, the energy pathways that are linked with the area become blocked. The benefits of reflexology are, that it helps to activate the body’s self-healing and improves waste removal and elimination. It relieves stress and tension and has deeply relaxing effect, not only on the body, but also on the mind. It helps to release trapped nervous energy and neural efficiency. In order to function, the body needs energy in the form of oxygen and nutrients which are circulated in the blood. As reflexology improves the blood circulation, it thus increases the efficiency of all the organs and cells. If the body is in balance physiological then the psychological side follows suit. By massaging the feet and putting pressure on the various reflex areas, the therapist is encouraging the body to heal and in turn relaxing the client and easing their tension.
