KRIYA REIKI LESSON 4

MEDITATIONS FOR USING KRIYA REIKI

Meditation is way of knowing oneself and healing oneself through this knowledge. Meditation causes the total relaxation of both body and mind. People say that they do meditation, but actually, meditation is something that happens. We just have to help it happen. This is the reason why many times many people try to do the meditation and nothing happens. One has to remember that meditation is not to be done. It just happens. When the mind is relaxed totally, meditation happens. Then even when a person is doing his routine work, the meditation is happening. To learn how to meditate is to learn how to have our mind relaxed. For this, we must remember some sequences. The mind that is free from struggle is relaxed. Struggle is the result of refusal to accept the reality about a thing, situation or a person. Refusal to accept or denial is the result of the dislike for something and the inability to avoid that thing. Denial makes a person disown a situation. Denial is a sub-conscious device that saves the face of the self image that we carry. If it is contrary to the reality, it is known as false ego. Such a denial produces lot of stress and unrest in the mind. All this proves that the effort to save the false ego is the effort to gather and increase stress.

The logical consequence of the above sequence is that, if we really want a peaceful tension-free mind, we must have it relaxed totally, and this is possible only after totally dropping the false ego or the self image that we carry ourselves, but that is contrary to the reality. Ego is the self image. Technically speaking, we cannot drop it. But ego is different from false ego. When we dislike a part of our being, we develop a wrongful image about ourselves, in which this unwanted part of our being is either absent or is converted in the liked or wanted part. Such an image is contrary to the reality. So when we have to face the reality about this part of our being, we are hurt. Then we try to save the face of this wrongful image. This effort in face increases the prick about the unwanted part about us. The false ego or the wrongful self-image takes us away from the reality, but unfortunately, it develops so silently and subtly that one hardly notices it. Still it keeps on reminding a person of his shortcomings. Such an ego is a problem. It leads to stress. When we learn to handle this part of our ego, we can really relax. Then we can have the power to handle any situation with greater efficacy. Many people think that meditation is concentrating on something. This requires control of the mind. The mind that is constantly under tension cannot remain on one place. So it is difficult to concentrate it. So it is difficult to meditate. First of all such people have to remember that meditation is not an effort. It is a pleasant happening. It cannot happen out of self denial, but it can naturally happen out of self recognition, self acceptance and self love. This is exactly we have to learn as the Kriya-Reiki practitioners. By owning ourselves, we can be free from all the stresses and then meditations can naturally happen for us in our life and be there throughout the life.

These exercises are meant for the Kriya-Reiki healer for a regular practice. This means, he should do them at lease once a day on a regular basis. Even if he does them once in the morning and once in the evening or at night, it is all right. After doing these exercises, the Kriya-Reiki healer is totally ready to heal others. But, it is necessary, for the Kriya-Reiki healer to do these things regularly. He should not just learn them and later forget them as theory that no one practices. The regular practice of these things will be necessary for sometime. Later on the mind will have a habit of being relaxed all the times. Then nothing can disturb the Kriya-Reiki healer. He can be perfectly balanced in every situation. Anxiety, anger, upset, sorrow and any similar negative emotion will never be able to take charge of the Kriya-Reiki healer. This means, the Kriya-Reiki healer will be Sthitapradnya (a person with balanced thinking) in the real sense. In addition to the regular practice of these exercises, for still more powerful results, the Kriya-Reiki healer is advised to do EXERCISE 1 and EXERCISE 4 before the healing session. This will increase the power of the mind concentrating to produce the healing and as result the healing will be faster and better. This means, the Kriya-Reiki healer has to keep his own mind absolutely healthy at all times. This in return means that the Kriya-Reiki healer by the kind of mind setup he develops starts heading towards a total success in every area in life, as total success is the inevitable outcome of absolutely healthy mind. So, follow these exercises and be totally successful.
