Reiki As Eternal Love

Contemplating Reiki as Eternal Love by Laurelle Shanti Gaia

Eternal Love is divine, universal and all inclusive. Reiki resides within, and carries you to, the origin of pure consciousness, which is the source of Eternal Love. Reiki can help you learn to release attachment to outcomes, to others and to things. It can help you trust that all things happen for the highest good. Eternal Love exists when there are no attachments, or expectations. So, when you release your attachments to and expectations of yourself and others you are able to experience true unconditional love, which is eternal. You can learn to practice unconditional Reiki. It is simple, when channeling Reiki move your personality and ego aside and KNOW Reiki will “work” on many levels. It is very important to remember that Reiki can never cause harm when you, as a practitioner, strengthen your light, and command your ego and personality to step aside. It is the personality and the ego that can cause you to try to manipulate or control, or they can create a desire to intellectualize what is happening in the session. All of these characteristics create attachments to outcome. Your personality can also create fear or doubt, when you are wondering if you are “doing Reiki right”, or if you are imagining what you are sensing or hearing, rather than fully trusting and releasing to Reiki and the Divine. Any of these functions of the ego and personality are inappropriate when channeling Reiki. This is because they create an energetic filter or veil, which prevents Reiki from flowing through you in its clearest, truest and most powerful way. There is some of confusion in the Reiki community about when, and when not to use Reiki. I have heard people say, never use Reiki to heal a broken bone until it has been set…never use Reiki on a burn … never use Reiki when a person is about to receive an anesthetic, and so on and so on. I am very fortunate that I didn’t hear any of this until I personally saw a broken bone set, and a burn heal before my eyes, using Reiki. I am often asked by Reiki practitioners, "Why don't I get results with Reiki? What am I doing wrong?" Very often these answers can be found by reviewing three core issues of healing, fear, trust and release. When we learn to practice Reiki fearlessly, trust it completely, and step out of the way by releasing all attachment to outcome, we

open the door for miracles; we can do nothing wrong. This is unconditional Reiki, this is Eternal Love.

This article will be posted on ReikiClasses.com for future reference Back to List of Contents Our Blog from "Peace Place" in Sedona, Arizona A NEW Space for Infinite Light Classes, Spiritual Stuff 4 U Gift Shop, and Sedona's Reiki Community Room. Someone suggested that we start a "blog" to keep people up to date with what is happening at Peace Place. So, this part or our newsletter is our new Blog. (Does anyone know why they call a blog a blog anyway?) Okay, as we mentioned in our last newsletter, we have moved into a lovely new space in "Uptown Sedona". Our new physical address will be 305 Jordan Road. (Google maps shows it as 355 Jordan. Our mailing address is still P.O. Box 1930, Sedona, AZ 86339)

In January we held our first three classes, a Reiki share, and a drumming for peace circle in our new "Peace Place" classroom. I personally have a very powerful connection to Kurama Mountain, the sacred mountain in Japan, where Reiki, as we know it, was discovered by Usui Sensei. It will be 10 years ago this September since William Rand and I journeyed to the mountain with Arjava Petter to begin research into the true history of Reiki. I was transformed by my experiences on the mountain and have wished to share at least an idea of the profound energy that emanates from Kurama Mountain. Michael and I have been working for over two years to edit, produce and publish the book, "Reiki's Birthplace, A Site Guide to Mt. Kurama" by Jessica Miller. During this process we have been able to connect quite intimately with the mountain through the text and photos in the book. In conversation one day, we pondered on how wonderful it would be to adorn the walls of Peace Place with large photos of Kurama Mountain. Stated intention...a sprinkle of Reiki...equal dashes of release and trust...and VOILA...our new next door neighbor's business is that of producing magnificent photo wall treatments. Coincidence? I think NOT! We now have nearly life-size photographic murals on our walls of two very sacred places on the mountain. Students are commenting that as each class

progresses we seem to be transported to another time and place as we merge with the energy of the mountain and the essence of Reiki through these murals.Check out this link to see some photos. As for Jessica's book, "Reiki's Birthplace", it is our intention to have 100 advance copies available at the Reiki and Sound Healing Conference, and full release by the Spring Equinox! Yeah Jessica! And everyone who has been a part of bringing this work of art to fruition. We continue to give thanks that all the helpers needed to complete and energize the Peace Place and assist with our growing administrative needs are called by the Reiki energy. We give thanks that this space is being created to be of service for the highest good of all, and in the highest possible way. We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to Max, Noel, Pat, Brian, Christi, Lisa, Christine, Septimus and his VVS crew. PLUS thank you to all of you who have been sending Reiki for the project. Spiritual Stuff 4U & All Things Reiki Gift Shop are progressing nicely and will be complete soon. We appreciate all Reiki that you continue to send to support this project and we send our love in return. We are humbled and honored to have been called to be guardians of this sacred place at this time. We have just placed our order for an official Peace Pole and will be offering a Peace Pole 'planting" Ceremony in the near future. We would love for your to visit us and share our joy and awe at the miracle of Peace Place. Peace Place is dedicated in service to Divine Love, Planetary Peace, Kurama mountain, Usui Sensei, and all the Reiki practitioners and peaceweavers on the planet. Love and infinite blessings. Laurelle
