Our Interview with LTJ Bukem

ll know, then it is time to move on. Do we need to do all the hand positions every time we give Reiki? If we are giving a full treatment then we need to utilise all the hand positions. If we are just giving a quick Reiki healing then we can just place our hands on the person and let the Reiki flow.There is also a chair Reiki for the times when you have not got a lot of time or you do not have a Reiki table at hand this method is done with the person sitting on a chair and the practitioner standing behind them with their hands placed on the shoulders of the recipient. Can anybody be attuned to Reiki? Yes any one can be attuend to reiki. All you need is a willingness to accept and receive all four attunements. once this has been done you will have Reiki with you for life. Are there any harmful side effects from Reiki? There have been no reported cases ofharmful side effects from Reiki, but there are those that have interpreted their cleansing period as negative and not continued, just as there are those clients who have had a Reiki treatment, and interpreted their healing and blockage removal as negative. When the body is undergoing a healing process, there can be short-term effects that cause some discomfort. People with a great deal of accumulated stress or emotional blocks can feel very over whelmed at first as their bodies start to process the effects of the Reiki. Can you use Reiki on animals? Most definately and they will love it! Animals tend to respond faster to Reiki than humans. It is really great to be able to give your pets Reiki as domestic animals tend to take on the stress and emotional traits of their owners. When giving reiki to your pets or other animals it can be most interesting to document the changes in things like their behaviour, any illness they have and their general wellbeing. Can you give Reiki to plants?Again most definately! Plants also respond to Reiki very well because they are living energy fields that can also get out of balance and they will respond to the harmonizing effects of the Reiki energy. A wonderful experiment you can try is to get two plants that are the same and put them in the same environment (maybe near a window) and then treat one with reiki and not the other. You should definately we able to see the benefits that reiki provides to plant life and the differences in things such as their growth. Can you give Reiki to nature? Trees and Mother earth in general love Reiki. Many Reiki practitioners send Reiki to the planet for a general global healing. The earth and trees both live and brerathe and therefore can benefit immensely from reiki healing to cleanse, balance and heal themselves. How do you pronounce Namaste and what does Namaste mean? Namaste is pronounced ~ Namm astay. – It is an ancient and honoured greeting with a number of translations, here we will sharewith you some of our members thoughts on Namaste. Little White Dove “I honor the place within you, that is the place of serenity, of peace, of love, and of Gods presence. “I honor the place within you where when you are in that place within you,and I am in that place within me, we are only one’. Another one is: “The god- goddess in me greets and honors the god-goddess in you” Sheoak: I believe that the greeting is Sanskrit. It does sound formal, but I think it is meant to be respectful by honouring the highest self of another with your own highest self. At least this is the way that I understand it, but like many Sanskrit words, and as lwd has shown, there are often many ways of expressing this in English, as there is often no literal translation, but rather an understanding of an ideal or intent. What happens in an attunement? In an attunement you are asked to sit back and relax, while you meditate the Master Teachers place the symbols into your aura. The Reiki master/ teacherstransfer’s Reiki to the student, this open’s up the Crown, Heart and Palm Chakras, and allow’s the energy to flow through the student’s palm’s. Thus giving them the ability to use Reiki for the rest of their lives. What is the difference between attunement’s done in person to those done by distance? There is alot of debate in the reiki world surrounding this question, however we believe there is no difference in giving a Student an attunement by distance, other than the fact that the student isn’t physically there with the Reiki master/ Teacher. It is done in the same way through meditation, with the Reiki Master/ Teacher transfering Reiki and the symbols to to the student allowing the Chakras to open. The result is that the transfering of reiki and the symbols work’s the same way as if the student was physically there. Usui was not attuned by a person. Why are the reiki symbols a secret, and when are they revealed to students taking reiki courses? The Reiki symbols are sacred and areonly to be shared with those that wish to be a channel for the universal energy. The symbols are used when sending healing to another peron or a situation distantly. Reiki Practitioners and reiki Masters have great respect for the symbols and understand they are only to be shared with those that are to be attuned.
