Now Reiki and Rituals
A ritual is a set of actions performed for their symbolic value. A ritual may be performed on specific occasions. It may be performed by a single individual or group.
Rituals help you focus and increase energy. They remind you that there are no ordinary moments in your life. Each moment is a wonderful energetic connection of awareness and consciousness.
The use of ritual with Now Reiki increases focus, intention and power. Create your own rituals with candles, incense, and music. Choose a certain color of candle, subtle incense and combine them with music that resonates with you. Add some quartz crystals for their clear and healing energies. Keep a journal of your most satisfying rituals for self-empowerment. Here are some rituals that use the Now Reiki symbols.
Rituals using Now Reiki Symbols
Draw or visualize a symbol three times. You can trace the symbol on the open palms with your index finger.
You can draw the symbol in the air, on a client, a photograph or anything else you wish to focus on – or you can visualize the symbol flowing as energy.
The symbols can be used in hands-on healing to increase the power of your work while, also, allowing you to do distant or remote work.
You can use the symbols at the beginning of a session to make a firm connection with Now Reiki. Use the Power Symbol during a session to increase power and energy on places that need extra healing (for instance, painful places). You can visualize it on any location or condition you are treating.
Use symbols to clean a space or clear up negative energies. They will increase energy vibrations and light.
To cleanse a room, draw one Healing Symbol in each corner or on the walls of a room you are intending to cleanse. Draw it on your front door so that everyone who enters will be cleansed.
Thoughts become compulsive reactions against your illusions. The mental noise keeps you from finding the stillness of presence. Nonstop thinking is the suffering we can all overcome. If you can't find the stillness in life, it is because your mind is using you. You are not your mind. You are not the one thinking. Your mind is only a small aspect of a vast intelligence.
All things that truly matter are beyond the mind. When you realize that you are the consciousness that observes, you awaken to beauty, joy, creativity, inner peace, and love. When this higher level of consciousness is accessed, you can watch the thinker and know the freedom from the mind. The mind can die. You will not. Random thoughts disturb you. They are distractions of your environment. Thoughts arise when the mind resists life. Thought is an unconscious reaction to life.
Energy can follow thought. It is better to have energy follow your intention. Attention is intentional awareness. The process of meditation is to expand awareness and direct attention. Awareness is how the body experiences the energy of consciousness. Insight is the willing of attention to connect with your higher self.
There are two common processes to meditation. One is to focus attention on exactly what you want to see. The other is to let go of all arising thoughts and resistance.
Meditation is the action of inaction. At first, it is a ceremony or ritual. Soon it can become awakening and awareness. Consciousness is immortal. The mind holds your personal beliefs, history and identity. Be free and float effortlessly into eternity.
"The human condition is lost in thought." -- Eckhart Tolle
Reiki is a name for a form of hands-on healing, with its origins in India and the East dating back many thousands of years. The original names, disciplines and techniques of Reiki have disappeared over the centuries. When exactly this ancient art of healing disappeared is unknown. However, we do know that it was rediscovered by a Japanese Scholar and Monk named Dr. Mikao Usui. It was in fact Dr. Usui who fashioned the name ‘Reiki’.
Reiki is a two-syllable Japanese word meaning universal life force. Although the proper Japanese pronunciation is RYE-KEY, it has been westernized to RAY-KEY.
Rei means universal or everywhere at the same time. Esoterically Rei means spiritual consciousness and wisdom from the higher self.

Ki is the energy that gives life to all living things. Many cultures recognize the importance of Ki energy and how it impacts our lives and well-being. Ki energy can be activated for the purpose of healing. When you feel healthy and full of enthusiasm, the flow of Ki energy in your body is high and free flowing. Life seems easier to deal with and you have a higher resistance to illness and disease.
Dr. Usui developed Reiki from his experiences on Mt. Kumara. He had a Satori, a moment of Oneness, an awakening to his true nature. In that Oneness, he developed Reiki.
When you are under stress or feeling tired, your Ki energy is low. You will be more susceptible to disease and sickness. Your attitude will be generally negative and you will find it difficult to deal with life's challenges.
Reiki is holistic; it works on the body, mind and spirit by stimulating a person’s own natural healing abilities. The blocked emotional and physical elements that lead to illness and disease are cleared. Reiki is neither positive nor negative; it is, in fact, the vibration of life. It allows us all to become one with all things alive in our world. Reiki is an unconditional experience of harmony. The best way to understand how Reiki works is to experience it.
Dr. Usui used the word ’intuitive’ to describe Reiki energy because it seems to have its own intelligence that guides it to where it is needed. Each part of the body or life issue receives the healing energy needed.
The Reiki Dr. Usui taught consisted of:
• Meditation techniques
• Breathing exercises
• Spiritual cleansing
• The reciting of spiritual poetry
• The Reiki principles
• Empowerments
• Attunements
• Hands-on healing techniques
• Distance healing
• Both breath and the eyes were used to focus the healing energy
Dr. Usui used his intuition to sense which parts of the body needed healing. For those who had difficulty with developing an intuitive style, symbols and mantras were introduced to help them focus. Later a manual with hand positions was created.
My goal in Now Reiki is to return to the more intuitive style of energy work.
There are two main streams of Reiki: a Japanese version with more emphasis on the meditative and spiritual side of the system, and a more western-orientated form with emphasis on the symbols and attunements.
In Japan it is common to spend several years practicing meditation to enhance spiritual growth, and to regularly study in groups of like-minded people under the guidance of a master. This is a great way to gradually raise your frequency/vibration, develop your intuition and open up more fully to the universal life force.
The Reiki system traditionally taught in the West consists of attunements, symbols, hand positions and techniques.
Often attunements are seen as a way to raise your vibration. Symbols are a tool to focus and increase your energy. Now Reiki will use techniques from Usui Reiki, as well as, awareness and stillness meditations and conscious breathing to increase the flow of universal energy.
There is an energy that gives life to every living organism. For many thousands of years we have known of this energy and have sought to develop ways to harness its power to heal and influence our lives. The Japanese call this energy Ki. It is also known as Chi by the Chinese, and Prana by a number of Asian cultures.
Now Reiki Energy is ever-present in our bodies. This means anyone can harness this profound intelligent energy for healing.
