Hello and thanks so much for this wonderfull groups

I think it's a wonderful thing that someone has set this site up in order to help those interested in reiki

I was just inciated today in reiki level 1 and it was amazing

The thing is im not so sure now if everything was done correctly. For one i did feel a tremendous amount of energy and i did feel him putting the symbols on me hands head and so fourth but im not sure if it's working if i am explaining myself correctly.

The man who i was iniciated by is spanish and the book he gave me is in spanish he told me in order to start the reiki i have to say this thing in spanish. although i am fluent in english and spanish i am more comfortable in english. I would like to know what must a person do in order to "activate" the flowing of reiki to heal them selves or others and how do i know its working. I have seen other people draw symbols right before they start but since i am on level one i don't know if i am supposed to draw any symbols what am i to do or say in order for the reiki to flow so i can have a session.

If anyone could give me a step by step info i would greatly appreciate it

Many blessings

Welcome to Reiki! You are blessed to have felt the energy and symbols; when I was attuned I felt very little. I mostly believed that it had 'worked' and it wasn't until I gave someone Reiki for the first time that I knew that I really was a Reiki practitioner!

Everyone teaches Reiki differently. I was taught that it is only necessary to think about Reiki and ask the Reiki guides to join/help me for the higher good of all concerned. I teach that in my classes and indicate that any personal guides you have should be invited to join also. However, as you continue to give Reiki you will discover that you might only need to INTEND that the Reiki flow, or maybe just think about Reiki and it will flow. However you choose to begin will work for you, it is truly your choice.

I advise my students (who also teach me, by the way) that they should intend that the Reiki goes to where it is needed just as theyask to be directed as to where to place their hands. In the beginning I encourage them to follow the hand positions they were taught, but with experience you will find that you simply know where to touch. The time frame is different for everyone so don't be discouraged and feel like it isn't happening for you.

Also, whatever language you use is fine. Energy is universal and doesn't care if we speak English, Spanish, Greek, etc.

First levels are not taught any symbols. You do not use them until the second level and that's when you will learn them and be attuned to them.

I hope this helps answer your questions. Again, welcome to the wonderful world of Reiki!

I agree with what has been shared here. Trust that the Reiki energy is within you. Do your self treatments and use intention in your mental image. See the Reiki energy going throughout your body....

Blessings,
Namaste

Dana,

Thanks to your response to my response :-) ! Your reminder to see the Reiki energy going throughout your body is a good one; sometimes I get so into what I'm doing I forget to stop and smell the roses (or see the energy)! The road can be so beautiful it's a shame to just rush down it - but I think we all get so caught up in the hurry of life that so often we do forget.

Namaste,
Jan

To activate the flow of Reiki, you simply focus your mind, and then acknowledge Reiki. For me personally that means
using the following formula of attitude of gratitude:

I am thankful to Reiki energy
I am thankful to Dr Mikao Usui, my Reiki Master and all other Reiki masters.
I am thankful to all Enlightened Beings
I am thankful to God/Buddha, etc (according to your faith)
I am thanksful to my family
I am thankful to nature
I am thankful to myself.
I am thankful to.....(.the person you heal, - or people in the group, if you do group healing))

This you should feel from your heart, not just say the words. You should also set the intention you have for the specific for the healing. Then you open your hands and allow Reiki to flow. In Reiki Level One you need not worry about drawing symbols. You should be able to ask your Reiki Master these questions. He is obliged to help you. Most people i know start with doing 21 days of self healing practice. After that is completed you could do a daily chakra balancing.
I wish you all the best for your training.

So after you have been initiated? does the flow of energy increase in time? or they are usually maxed after the initiation?
