Introduction
The
weekend of
my first attunement to Reiki in January
1996 was one
of my most beautiful experiences. Reiki
teachers in those days were quite scarce
and I
traveled cross country
187 miles the evening before, to get the
next morning to the venue of one that
appealed to me on the phone.
The training took place in
a wooden chalet. It was Winter. I thought I was going to have
an enjoyable break from work and my usual
commitments after which life will continue
as before. The entire weekend turned out to
be wonderful. I met
a new variety of people. They
seemed of a kind I
have not met in organizational management, and I felt
good in their company. I did not feel
much in terms of energy, and I did not
feel any different after the attunements,
but I was leaving the place quite elated. Life
has not been the same, since. My hands
started unstoppably pouring energy 48
hours after my attunement, and my feet hardly touched
the ground for about a week. My
management colleagues were quite amused
by my experiences, but I knew I
did something wonderful. It felt
like coming home. I took
Reiki II in order to be able to send
distance healing to my father who still
lived in Slovakia. On the evening
of the attunement to Reiki II I sent
him healing, and the next
morning on the telephone he sounded a new man. I
knew then that I will take healing as
far as it takes me. On the 14th
July 1996 I became a Reiki Master, and
on the 28th July 1996 I was made to
wave good-bye
to my conventional pursuits. To
date I cherish Reiki as my gateway to
fulfillment.

I started teaching
Reiki with all of my heart, and I expected
everyone to respond to Reiki with
the same level of dedication and sincerity. I was
getting unprecedented results in healing,
and I gained respect and recognition
as a Reiki healer, not just a teacher,
which was quite unusual and very rewarding.
A small core group of people I worked
with remained
for several years exceptionally loyal and dedicated.
I loved my work and was putting it before my
private life. I
was the leader of the Cheltenham Reiki
Group from 1997 to 2002. But as Reiki was getting more commercialised
and there were growing attempts to control
and to cash in on Reiki in some quarters,
I became increasingly concerned about
my role in relation to Reiki. I saw in my Reiki work my mission,
not a business, and I refused
to follow the path that some commercially
successful Reiki people took. By November 2002, I wondered where my path was leading
from there on. One
evening I went to lie down to meditate
in the hope that I will receive guidance.
Then I heard the echoing voice inside
me calling: "Ave Maria!".
My
Spirit Guide made conscious contact
with me for the first time.
By December
2002 Lysseus gave me
Dhaxem as a complete system of healing,
and he advised me to disassociate myself
from the commercial aspects of the
Reiki movement. The Spirit
of Dr. Usui helped to develop Dhaxem
I, II and III, and he occasionally
assists with healing. The
new system turned out to be very
powerful, and I now work with
Divine energies.
To a pure person everything seems
pure, and to me Reiki is a pure
form of energy which will continue serving
those who retain own purity in
their attitudes to Reiki.
Nature
of the Reiki energies
Reiki
channels Universal energy which is everywhere and
it permeates everything. It is
focused into the candidate's
hands during an attunement. Universal
energy can
help to accelerate physical healing.
It is perceived as very pleasant
and soothing by people or animals receiving
it. With Reiki II the mental and
emotional plane is reached. A
dedicated Reiki healer is likely to effectively reach
the Soul level of healing with
Reiki III. Divine energies working
through the Soul plane incorporate Universal
energies, but not vice versa.
I was initially taught the Western style
of Reiki based on the symbols,
and it worked wonders for me. I
later took a Japanese style based
on kotodama (sounds) claiming
to be the original Usui method, and
a colleague attuned me to a Reiki style
used in the Balkans. None of my
subsequent Reiki attunements changed longer
term anything
whatsoever on the energies that I channeled
from the beginning. Once a person
is effectively fully attuned, they are
attuned, and further attunements if carried
out sincerely are but an act of goodwill
from one person to the other. Subsequent
attunements to different forms of Reiki
take
on additional power only where the
initial Reiki form did not take full
effect.
In some instances
subsequent attunements by other teachers
diminish the original power. Unlike
the general belief, it is not
true that an attunement is always for life,
and that it stays with the person regardless of how they
treat Reiki. The gift will stay
with the person only for as long as
the person respects it, and the
teacher, who shared it with them in
good faith. Once the person loses
their power of healing due to own attitudes
to healing, no amount of
re-attunements will restore it.
An attunement is not a technical
matter affected by human beings, but a spiritual
matter affected by Spirit Guides. It
is very common to find people attuned
by the same person at the same time
of whom a year later one will say that their gift is wonderful,
and others will say that Reiki did
something for them for a short while,
but then it dwindled away. Reiki
does not dwindle away, it just does
not stay with people who see little
or no worth in it.
Is
Reiki a Buddhist practice?
Initially, and in line with the
Reiki
traditions, I believed that I was a Buddhist
and that I was channelling the energies
of Buddha at Soul level. I was
surprised when a few years later at another workshop
where different types of energies were explored,
I recognised that I had always been
channelling the energies of Christ,
and having also had the opportunity
to compare Christ's energies with others,
I realised that his were the most powerful
and pure. Learning further about the
Cathars and their teachings has dissolved
my perception of an apparent division between the values
of Buddhism and Christianity which in
effect, is not there.

The Reiki energies that a healer channels are coloured by the healer's own Soul. No two Reiki healers will work with identical energies. |

Tuition
Reiki tuition and practice consists of four levels. Some people divide them into three and there are those who offer the complete package over a weekend. I taught Reiki in four stages: Reiki I, II, and III, Master Practitioner, and Master Teacher. I used to work systematically with each person, taking them step by step at a pace that suited them. I find combined attunements unsuitable, least of all because every level attracts a different level of energy vibrations. Only by separating the levels and allowing time to experience each, can the person understand them, and use the benefit of each level to the best of their ability. Setting a rigid time limit between attunements is equally unacceptable because people seldom progress at the same rate.
As a
teacher I am available to work with a
person from level one to as far as they
want to take healing. I give every person
full support following an attunement,
and I answer by e-mail within not more than
24 hours any questions
that may arise later. On rare
occasions in the past I accepted for
a subsequent attunement someone previously
attuned by someone else. In each
case I found it to have been a mistake. Just
as my Spirit Guide
oversees who asks for my tuition,
people would have been guided to someone
else for a reason.
I
attuned to Reiki people between the
ages of seven and eighty-four. To
me each attunement was a sacred experience. Working with
children feels particularly pure and
rewarding, for children have no inhibitions.
My workshops are experiential, and the
focus is on the spiritual aspect of
healing.
I teach no finite techniques of
laying hands or holding them above
the body. Healing
is a spiritual discipline where the
technique follows the cause. Good healers follow their
intuition. Carrying due
respect for
the laws of spirituality
is what tends to make people's energies
more powerful, not a procedure, a
technique, or a membership of an organization. I
incorporate past life work into
my workshops and the Master level is
actual Soul
work.
During 2003-2004, people
who remained loyal to my tuition enjoyed
free Dhaxem re-attunements to the same level of
healing to
which they took Reiki.
In
relation to sought attunements, I appreciate understanding the
candidate's reasons and why
they may wish to choose me as the teacher.
Such information enables
me to do my best for each candidate.
In my belief
that the person will treat healing energies with respect and sincerity,
I give an attunement that will stay with the person
for as long as they respect the principles.
|
I
would appreciate every
new candidate for Reiki
to briefly explain,
please, what guides
them to seek an attunement,
and why from me. |
|
I
wish every candidate fulfillment
and success in their healing pursuit.
