Violet ReikiRadio - Reiki and Meditation

An integral part of Reiki is meditation and was practiced by Dr Usui's students each time they attended a Reiki class.  These meditations deepen and strengthen your connection to the energy, promote sensitivity to Reiki and the ability to channel ever increasing amounts of Reiki.  Practised daily Gassho or Hatsurei-ho meditations will benefit you in many ways. As well as Reiki benefits, meditation is an ideal way to still the mind and relax  the body.

Meditation is a state of intense awareness achieved by stilling and concentrating your thoughts. Think of it as a journey to your inner being. Something that is so natural, but forgotten since childhood because of life's programming. Once achieved, an expanded awareness occurs. Layers of stress and attachments need to be 'peeled' away from our bodies so that our minds are allowed to observe our subconscious.

Meditation does not involve 'thinking deep-provoking' thoughts; in fact meditation begins when we 'stop thinking'. I believe that is the biggest misconception of learning how to meditate, and is the reason of why many fail to meditate properly. But, once we are guided the right way as to the technique of meditation, we get to connect and feel with a state of higher energy.
