EPISODE SUMMARY:
How can we heal ourselves and
others?
Today I talk with Frans Stiene,
a major influence on the global research into the system of reiki
since the early 2000s. His practical understanding of the Japanese
influence on the system has allowed students around the world to
connect deeply with this practice. He’s the co-founder of the
International House of Reiki and the Shibumi International Reiki
Association, and the author of The Inner Heart of
Reiki,
Reiki
Insights, and the
new The Way of Reiki -
The Inner Teachings of Mikao Usui, among others.
Listen in to hear how Frans
defines and understands reiki, how it relates to different symbols,
energy, healing, and more.
Topics We Discuss:
- [1:52] Traditionally the word reiki was
pointing to your own true nature, your essence, your inner, great
bright light. There were very specific practices within the system
of reiki in order to really lay that luminosity bare.
- [6:29] When we let go of the ego, we have
direct unification with what is, with our minds and the universe.
When that happens, a lot of energy starts to emanate from us and we
can start to help others with that energy.
- [16:20] The precepts in the system of reiki
are: do not anger, do not worry, be grateful, be true to your way
of being, and be compassionate to yourself and others. Ultimately
within your inner bright light—your inner luminosity—there is no
anger or worry; the more we let go of that, love and kindness
automatically come forward.
- [22:18] If your mind is distracted,
automatically your energy is distracted. Our mind affects our
energy and our body. If we’re angry, it will constrict my energy;
it’s very obvious. But in a lot of healing practices, this isn’t
taught.
- [25:12] There’s a merger of energy between
healer and the person being healed; which is why the healer’s
energy is so important. If the healer is using their energy to
heal, it must be luminous. The more we practice for ourselves and
the healing deepens for us, the more we can help
others.
- [28:02] Often humans like to do things; we like
to stimulate our energies, but this can make that energy
distracted. Instead, we can go into a very deep state of mind where
it feels like we’re like the sun, then all we have to do is simply
let that sun shine.
- [32:10] When we have a taste of expansion,
freedom, or returning to ourselves, then we have an address and
know how to get back there. If we have that taste, then we can
continue to practice and know if we’re on the right path or
not.
