The Power of Gratitude (With thankfulness)
-Lilia V. Marquez, RN, Komyo ReikiDo Shihan
This is my story, this is my path, my way, a never ending journey ....
As a Reiki Practitioner, I strive to live a happy, healthy and peaceful life through my Reiki practice. Kansha shite, with thankfulness is one of the Reiki precepts. An attitude of gratitude reminds me to be humble and to be thankful for the many blessings that I have each and everyday. Being grateful helps me to connect to my Higher Self, to be One with the Higher Source-to the Divine Love and Wisdom. I'm mindful that, the farther I am from my ego, the purer I am as a Reiki channel. Reiki is non-duality, the Art of Letting Go and Surrendering. When I offer Reiki healing, I'm mindful to remember to place my hands, surrender and smile. It is Reiki that's doing a great job of healing, not me. As a Reiki practitioner, I am a channel/conduit of the energy of the universe, that is, Reiki. Each one has an innate ability to heal oneself and there's Reiki within all of us. Reiki awakens the power inside YOU
Each one has a story and a journey. Life is a journey. This is my story and this is my journey. My Reiki journey began a couple of years ago when I felt I needed healing myself-Mind Body Spirit. Holistic Nursing was introduced in the hospital where I worked. I was 3 months away from my graduation from Holistic Nursing when Reiki came to my life. I didn't know anything about Reiki, didn't know of anybody who had Reiki healing, I was intrigued and curious what Reiki is and what Reiki offers as a healing modality for myself. Little did I know at that time that one day, I'll be teaching Reiki myself. Reiki Ryoho, is one of the many healing modalities that one can use to heal oneself. It is very easy and simple to learn. Children can learn Reiki. My 10 year old niece is my youngest Reiki Chuden (Second Degree/Intermediate Teaching) student.
Rei is the energy of the heavens. Ki means the energy of the earth. Reiki is the mysterious, ethereal, transcendental, and sacred energy of the universe which sustains all life. Reiki is the name used by USUI Mikao Sensei, Founder of Usui Reiki Ryoho(Healing Art) for the energy of the Universe. Reiki Ryoho (Healing Art) has twofold purposes: healing and spiritual. The practice of Reiki Ryoho guides me in my daily life. As a Reiki Practitioner/Teacher, I have to be mindful that non-doing and non-thinking is everything. Deeds are criteria of a good Reiki Practitioner and a good Reiki Teacher-what I think, what I say and what I do are very important.
In 2007, my daughter and I went to Japan, visited Usui Memorial in Tokyo and climbed Kurama-yama in Kyoto. Standing in front of USUI Mikao Sensei's gravesite and Memorial was a humbling experience. I didn't know what to expect, what to think, what to say or do. I asked Sensei for guidance, I would like to teach Reiki respecting his legacy and preserving the integrity of his teachings the best way I can. I would like his presence in all the classes that I'm planning to teach - presence especially during Reiju/Attunements. I asked for a sign.... waited for a sign ... Lo and behold... crickets...yes... crickets and lots of them singing.
Kurama-yama is Usui Reiki Ryoho’s Birthplace, a sacred mountain north of Kyoto, the ancient capital of Japan. Climbing Mt. Kurama with my daughter in 2007 was one of the most amazing and unforgettable experience of my life. USUI Mikao Sensei attained enlightenment and a healing ability in 1922 at the age of 57 while fasting and meditating in the sacred mountain. It was almost a three-hour trip from Tokyo to Kyoto via the Shinkansen (Japanese Bullet Train, running at speeds of up to 300 km./h, Kurama-yama has many temples and shrines. It was an amazing journey walking on the path and feel the energy where USUI Mikao Sensei was 99 years ago (1922-2021)
The practice of Reiki Ryoho is one of the many blessings in my life. With my deepest gratitude and appreciation to my family, my friends, my Reiki Teachers especially Kathie LIPINSKI, RN and INAMOTO Hyakuten Sensei, and to all of you who have been a valuable part of my healing journey thus far -Mind Body Spirit.
