Level IV - Reiki Master/Teacher - Shihan - Day 1 This week is really going to be busy - We will all be giving and receiving attunements each day. I don’t like the term homework, but there will be a lot of support material given you that you’ll need to review daily, and a lot of practice, practice, practice. And to really make this stick, we’re reversing the order of things - First is a new symbol - Raku, the finishing symbol, also known as the “Fire Serpent,” yet is drawn differently than the Tibetan Reiki Master symbol, Dumo, or Tibetan Fire Serpent it’s used most often for grounding the Receiver once an attunement to Reiki has been passed. It is drawn downwards from the head of the recipient to the ground, allowing the energy received during this process to remain inside the Chakras. One of my favorite descriptions of the appearance and the purpose of Raku compares it to a lightening bolt from the sky, and represents life force energy or chi that runs down the spine, through our chakras. The Raku may also be used during healing sessions to ground the practitioner or the patient receiving a treatment. We arent certain of where the Raku symbol came from, it’s not Kanji and isnt one of the original symbol which were taught by Usui Sensei. Some think it may be Tibetan, probably introduced by Reiki Master Iris Ishikuro (who was a student of Mrs. Takata) into her Reiki Practice, which she named Raku Kei Reiki. Raku-Kei is an Ancient Tibetan Healing Art of Self-Mastery, much like Reiki itself. The symbol and practice was brought to the West by Arthur Robertson, who was a student of Ishirkuro. Tomorrow we will start practicing attunements with each other, beginning with Level I. Also the Gassho meditation will be very helpful for the rest of this program and then as you enter in to your own practice. If anyone would like, I can PM the Teacher’s Manual and a doc file of how I do level I attunements. I mentioned we are doing some things that may seem out of order or backwards - but I believe beginning with the attunement for this level will maximize your experience during the rest of the program. First is a mini attunement to Raku to make it yours, followed by the attunement as Usui Reiki Master Teacher. You might want to have some soft music playing in the background. Now find a comfortable and quiet place for the rest of this attunement. This will take about 30 minutes so your might want to sit down, back straight. Begin by looking at the Raku symbol; fix it into your mind. Take several deep breaths to relax and bring your hands to the Gassho or prayer position, first in front of your heart, close your eyes and bring your hands to your forehead. Now rest them on your thighs, palms up and cupped slightly. When you are ready, focus on the Raku symbol, feel its energy running through your body, from the top of your head, down the spine, into your legs and down to the ground. Now say in your mind or out loud, “I accept this Attunement as Reiki Master Teacher prepared and sent to me by Roger Nobles.” Continue to relax and allow the energies to flow in to you and through you, enjoy it.
