Is there room for God in Reiki?

Yessssss.  While we generally think of reiki as a system of energy healing, it is first and foremost a spiritual practice.  Ki refers to universal life force – also known as chi prana Spirit Christ Consciousness, quantum field, the One, Creator/Source.  A successful reiki practitioner is not the source of Ki, they are the channel.  So an effective reiki practitioner succeeds by softening all the ways we grip on to oru ego, soften our attempts to control and take action and actually LET GOD MOVE THROUGH US. 

A common follow up question is ‘do the practitioner and client need to have the same beliefs?” 

I believe that the practitioner needs to have some concept of a Higher Power because the whole system is built on channeling this universal energy.  If you don’t open to a higher power you are immediately limited to you as a human and let me tell you the wow factor from that is limited at best!  Not only will this person likely burn out TRYING really hard but the power of reiki is in channeling something BEYOND ourselves.  The more we can empty ourselves of ourselves and open to something Divine, the more powerful the session and experience will be for both.  The grace of God may override an atheist practitioner but working cocoreatively will be most effective.

As far as the client – a good reiki practitioner can achieve powerful results even if the client is an atheist, because a well trained and experienced practitioner will be able to support a recalibration of the clients nervous system, moving them out of stress and into renewal – do this with touch, guided breath, guided meditation or NSDR to calm a jumpy mind… sheparding into a state of deep relaxation.  In this state of relaxation they may be receptive to the grace they experience, maybe don’t even have a name for it and that’s ok.

As far as having the same beliefs, well this comes down to needs and preferences of the two people involved.  For me personally, I will use whatever terms/names resonate w the client for their session, and I use my own terminology for my own sessions. 

The way I see it, I don’t worry about agreeing on how to say the word son (soleil, sol, zon), I’m more interested in guiding someone to feel it’s warmth on their skin. In a world desperate for more connection to Source, Creator to God, I personally am not going to waste time on semantics and philosophy.  If you connect to the God of your unique understanding and you live rooted in values of love, kindness and servitude, then I’m gonna give you a huge high five and cheer you on as your spread that light in the world… I’m not going to convince you that my terms are better than yours.

Saying that, I think it also lands that some people will use very specific terms for God as they understand it and they wll be unwaivering in their terminology… their practice will be there to serve whoever resonates with that, and it is not for people who don’t.  If you have a really strong Christian faith, bring Jesus into your session, and invite your client to do the same.  Others may resonate with a female goddess and their practice is to  serve others in the same beliefs.

Some people say well how do you know you’re working with God, what if it’s evil forces at work?  First, I think people can feel the difference between what is Divine and what is Evil.  If you are connected to divine you are going to feel hopeful, sense of rest/faith, expansiveness, a LOVE that pulls you beyond ordinary perception.  If you are working with evil you will feel fear, contracted, separation and hate. 

Second, first pillar of reiki is to start each session in prayer – invoke energy of Ki and guide client to do the same.
