Our last newsletter was about practicing Reiki in a professional manner, and this second one continues in a similar vein.

Reiki practitioners must ask themselves, “When someone comes in to visit me for a Reiki treatment, are they treated well, and with respect, or do I have my own agendas that I push upon the client?”

This specifically refers to how the practitioner communicates with the client, is it helpful to the client? Does the practitioner speak in “high fallootin”, “airy fairy” language about chakras, auras, birth signs and so on? Or does he or she speak in language and concepts that the client can actually understand and get something out of?

For example, if I mentioned to a client that there is a problem with his or her third chakra, how does this help the person? Does it make her change her life? Does it make her feel better? What does it do to change her condition? Does it empower the person to do well in her day to day affairs?

I think not. All it does is give a person an idea that there is some fault in their “esoteric” body system, and how do they change or fix it? They cannot, it is impossible.

So, when a Reiki practitioner speaks to a client in this way it is really his agenda that is coming through. It is his view of the Universe that he is communicating to the client. He is not giving useful information that the client can actually use in her recovery. So we’d like you to keep this in mind the next time you are talking to a client during or after a Reiki treatment.

Secondly, the Reiki practitioner should ask himself “Am I interested in my client’s development and happiness?” As a Reiki practitioner you are in a unique position to help your client recover from different ailments and problems that concern her and so, skilful communication is important.

You see, a Reiki practitioner does not need to set himself up as a “Godman”; all he needs to be is a normal person who applies Reiki to help people with differing ailments, that is all. Also, kind words, and comforting are also useful.

My dear one, Reiki practitioners should not harm their clients by promising that they will cure them. As a Reiki practitioner you cannot guarantee this and this is an obvious mistake as pointed out in that last newsletter. What you can do for your client is give them kind words of encouragement to help them improve and get better. If you have nutritional training, your help here may assist your client.

In your Reiki training course, which is probably 1, 2 or 3 days for Reiki 1 and Reiki 2, you are not doing a full degree in herbal medicine or psychology for that matter. You are simply learning a "hands on", esoteric healing system called Reiki which is a very simple system. Therefore the training does not put you in a position to communicate esoteric truths like, “Your chakras are damaged”, or “The colour of your aura is blue” etc.

It is important for the Reiki practitioner to ask, “How do these statements charkas and aura etc. help the client? Does it give her any strategies to improve her lifestyle? Does it alleviate her symptoms?”

No, these kind of esoteric statements are merely for the practitioner’s gratification. The practitioner is advertising to the client that he is a marvellous clairvoyant with definite and incredible abilities. But we say to you my dear one, such advice given by practitioners is useless for the client who wants real change. We suggest you keep your suggestions practical. If you have expertise in certain practical modalities, then we suggest that you stick with those.

If you do not, then simply do Reiki and offer them the Holographic Healing meditation that comes at the back of Sananda’s book, "Living In The Grace And Love Of Our Lord Jesus Christ, A Channelled Book From Sananda/Jesus Christ”.

This meditation, as we mentioned in the first newsletter, is a profound healing meditation that can get to root, core and base issues concerned with health and well being that a person may be battling with. You can offer them this meditation easily and safely which the client can do for 20 minutes a day. It will go a long to helping them. You can get the book and meditation from www.SanandaSales.com
