It has been a wonderful journey for me and I am pleased to announce that in October 2009, I completed my training to become a Gendai Reiki Ho Shihan (master), which means that I am now able to teach Reiki Ho as I continue my own journey with it. I've decided to start a blog dedicated to my musings on Reiki. Mostly to help spread the ideas which come up in my mind as I grow spiritually and hopefully, to help people wishing to get started on a path of Reiki, to be able to make an informed choice when choosing a teacher, discipline and lineage.<br /><br />To start, I'd like to share with you the difference beween Reiki itself and Reiki Ho.<br />Reiki, is a combination of two Japanese words, "Rei" and "Ki". If you translate the meanings of these words, you will essentially get a meaning like: "universal life force energy". So when we refer to Reiki we are referring to the actual vibrational energy found in the higher dimensions of our universe. This is the vibration of love, harmony and light. The term Reiki Ho however is the accurate term describing a practice in which one uses Reiki to heal, meditate etc. "Ho" meaning, "method" infers a method for utilising this vibration of light and love.<br /><br />When we hear some saying that they are teaching or learning Reiki, this person may be misinformed of the proper usage of this suffix. We do learn about Reiki itself in class, however, the more important focus is on techniques to use Reiki in our daily lives. At least in Gendai Reiki Ho, as I have little experience with Western Styles of Reiki, I cannot say about their classes.<br /><br />I will be offering some classes and retreats soon in BC and Ontario, I can also suggest other teachers to anyone looking to learn in either area. I can recommend teachers of my discipline (Gendai Reiki Ho) and of other disciplines if desired. I am also happy to answer anybody's questions about Reiki in general or Gendai Reiki Ho. Whether you've learned Reiki with someone else or not at all.<br /><br />Blessings of love light and harmony to all beings.<br /><br />- Whitney<br /><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6582282467936551417-3104159614181808608?l=happyhealthyhikari.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Whitney Jeanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16967083278819218126noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6582282467936551417.post-52595712116493782082010-01-04T06:35:00.000-08:002010-01-04T06:55:59.172-08:002010-01-04T06:55:59.172-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BOyv2CMBNJY/S0IBVO9ofbI/AAAAAAAAABQ/xfTEEM6weP4/s1600-h/IMG_6808.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BOyv2CMBNJY/S0IBVO9ofbI/AAAAAAAAABQ/xfTEEM6weP4/s320/IMG_6808.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5422898365612981682" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">The first post on a new blog, it's kind of like writing on the first page of a new notebook. Something which I have never been able to do actually, I always leave the first page blank in a new notebook. Nothing ever seems "front page of a notebook" worthy enough. On that note, a poem that I wrote on my recent train trip from Ontario to British Columbia. I remember I wrote it, while passing through some of the most amazing forest wilderness of Northern Ontario. The forest was calling me, it felt like home. I had to write about it and I was headed back to see Jeremy so there's a little love in this poem too. I think I would call it "Sacred Calling":<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />Sacred woods,<br />speak to me,<br />of trees<br />and leaves<br />and how I love thee.<br />Awaiting the arrival,<br />yon destination,<br />there stays thy love,<br />and we love<br />thine rocks and greens.<br />Oh! Sacred woods,<br />speak to me,<br />of trees<br />and leaves<br />and how I love thee.<br /><br />May all beings experience harmony and love.<br /><br />- Whitney<br /><br /><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6582282467936551417-5259571211649378208?l=happyhealthyhikari.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Whitney Jeanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16967083278819218126noreply@blogger.com0
