Reiki Revealed: Dialogues with a Reiki Master

By Graziano Scarascia and Antonio Sgueglia

E-book, 97 pages

Reiki Revealed: Dialogues with a Reiki Master is a sincere and heartfelt discussion of the heart of Reiki as experienced by Graziano Scarascia and Antonio Squeglia. The book developed after the authors decided to ask their Reiki students what they wanted to know about Reiki. The result was a dialogue with the heart of Reiki itself.

As such, Reiki Revealed goes beyond the standard definition of Reiki as a Japanese form of relaxation that promotes healing. Scarascia described Reiki as what it is, a unique, sentient energy that is felt differently by each individual. Instead of relying on an outside source to describe Reiki, he challenges students and readers to experience the amazing Universal healing energy for themselves. This encourages self-empowerment, which brings the students closer to one of the core principles of Reiki: That the connection between the individual and the Universe is the catalyst for healing.

Throughout this work, Scarascia speaks candidly and with confidence and clalrity about what Reiki is and how and why it works while reminding students and readers that human definitions are limiting. Scarascia also answers questions regarding seeing auras, Reiki and religions, the use of touch in Reiki, and many other subjects.

Scarascia’s definitions of the Reiki levels is particularly interesting. On page 20 he conveys that Reiki I is on a physical level, explaining that “The physical level is one which we confront with the materiality of things and for this reason it is fundamental to develop the awareness of our body.”

This is also a clear explanation of the ground level of awareness most people have when first becoming aware of Reiki and other energy modalities. Scarascia explains the process, that as the student learns Reiki II and Reiki Master level, their awareness can continue to grow, both inside and outside of the body.

A wonderful bonus, beginning on page 84 of Reiki Revealed, is an interview with Mikao Usui from the Reiki Ryoko Hikkei, the booklet given to the students of the Usui Ryoho Gakkai, the school founded by Sense Usui. Ending this work with the words of the founder of Reiki lends a sense of solidarity that gives Reiki Revealed yet another reason to be seen as a valuable Reiki resource.

Whether you are new to Reiki, a Reiki student or a Master, Reiki Revealed is a valuable, unique resource.

Reiki at the Aesthetic and Wellness Show “Aestetica 2010”
As every year, the Italian Training Centre for Reiki Operators offered its contribution to AIOB (Italian Association of Wellness Operators) during the most representative wellness show occurring in Southern Italy. Through its operators, our Centre gave the several visitors who went at the Oltremare Exhibition Space in Naples a chance to know and try Reiki. It was really interesting to observe how people's look changed after Reiki treatment.
_Many people who didn't know the discipline grew curious about it and resulted to be ready to go deeper into the theme.
We are grateful to Daniela Lutrario, Gina Palmiero, Sabrina Zazzara and Imma Agrillo for their engagement and helpfulness.

Reiki Self-treatment: A great act of love
Nowadays, we use the word “love” in a very easy and simple way, but it's often hard to experience and understand its deep meaning, especially if we are to refer it to ourselves. Daily life would be really lighter if everyone directed towards him/herself an immense source of love, able to put him/her in an indissoluble relation with people around him/her, in order to experience, in a very tangible way, the self as an infinitesimal spark of Universe that links to other sparks to create the Great Light or Energy of life.
With regards to this simple but profound idea, today we'll go deep into the description of one of the most important acts of love every Reiki operator is pleased to experience: the Reiki Self-treatment.
First of all, it's very hard to carve out some spare time to devote to ourselves, in a society absorbing everyone in the frenzy of life: finding ourselves in the garden of soul, sprung up on peace, tranquillity and listening, beyond any external judgement, brings us to accept ourselves, in our very essence.
It's not a simple resolution, I would say, indeed, Reiki path is rather a choice where Self-treatment is one of the essential moments of healthy growth, in which Pure Universal Energy instils itself into the Self, spreading and healing where it's necessary. Here, in this essential act of love, we experience ourselves eluding mental patterns, guilt and inadequacy feelings, human limits, accepting what we are and encountering the Divine Love Spark, a precious and silent pearl, wrapped into the inner essence of everyone of us.

In fact, it's just experiencing God in ourselves that we learn to love ourselves, and therefore we can direct outbound, that is, toward the others, true love and sincere respect.
During Reiki Self-treatment, keeping in touch with ourselves stimulates the growth of our self-reliance, self-expression and respect for ourselves.
All that leads to the advance of awareness processes, that strengthen the organism in general and accelerate the healing processes everyone needs.
It's a unique and essential experience we wish everybody will do, even because it gives us the chance to help ourselves when we feel bad, to do an act of prevention and relaxation when we feel good, and find mental, emotional and spiritual harmony with the wonderful world in which we play an active role of love!!!
A cosmic hug of love.

appendix I – what is energy?

Conversation between a student and his Master

Student: Master, what is after all this energy that heals?

Master: The energy is the source of our life and has always existed and will always exist. In fact, you cannot produce it or destroy it but only transform it. You see, in the latest analysis the energy brings with it the solutions to all the problems that along our path we have the joy to meet. We often think that the solution to a problem is the removal of it, but believe me, to think of destroying or removing a problem is pure illusion as in reality it can only be transformed.

Everything that we perceive and see is nothing but a front behind which we hide something more significant and more essential. Only if you are able to go beyond appearance it will be possible to understand the logic of the chaos. In chaos everything has been created to uniform a universal order in which each of us has our place of belonging. Everything is already predisposed in a way that the universal plan does not remain static but it is an image in eternal transformation and evolution.

Going back to the question, I want to ask you now if what pushes you to ask me your questions is in reality the need to grow, to understand and to evolve. Well, so when you talk about growth, what is that invisible force that pushes you to grow? Observe the nature and you will find all the answers about energy, or more simply look inside yourself and observe what you have become. Go back over the stages of your existence and try to understand how the inside of you has changed but, a more important thing, try to understand what has made you grow and evolve. If you observe properly you will understand what after all is the energy.

We are energy in continuous transformation. We are chickens coming from a unique source and we all have a unique and same purpose. “ to evolve in full awareness of our true nature”. You see, if you enter in the universal flow of this energy, also in your daily life everything will start to flow in a natural way. We are all canals for this energy and so it is not a privilege for a few. But, only a few, have the privilege to be aware of it. The energy hides behind everything that we do and without it we would not be here now. Without it I would not be able to speak to you and tell you what I am telling you and what I am about to tell you, but the real obstacle in the understanding of this vital phenomenon is the mind.

We always try to divide to understand and to analyze always in smaller parts to see more clearly. If we want to understand the totality, it is necessary to abandon the means of reasoning because, when we utilize this means, we can only have a partial and distorted understanding of something that, instead, needs to be understood in its integrity without mediations from our analytical mind. The great effort that we have to make is to take a jump in the dark and enter into a zone where we cannot anchor our mind, but only our heart, And it is from there that we can draw the courage to see things in another prospective, a prospective where the dual becomes global, unique and essential.

This is how the energy heals when it is able to stimulate the union where before there was division. Observe what is divided in you, draw on the energy, that rules everything, to create in you unity and wait and see lots of miracles of healing and transformation. Then and only then you will really understand what is after all the energy.

Here a part of the book from the introduction "What is Reiki?"

2010-05-16T16:31:00.000-07:00

To write something about Reiki today is not so difficult. In fact, lots of books have been written and there are lots of sites on the topic. It becomes more difficult to write something new.

Before writing this introduction about this beautiful art I asked myself, “but in truth deep down what is Reiki then?”

You know, it is not easy to describe something that should be lived in first person. I think it is necessary to experience things personally as the problems usually arise out of what are expectations are when faced with something new. I bet you have already read a book about Reiki or a friend spoke to you about it and just by chance you found yourself surfing the net and found a site about Reiki or this is the first time you have heard about Reiki and you may already have preconceived ideas.

The truth is that everyone in the universe is unique Therefore the way we see and feel things is different for each one of us. What I am writing is, in fact, the result of twenty years of personal experience with Reiki and exactly for this reason I ask you not to believe me, but to verify for yourselves, so that one day you will be able to describe your own experience.

Reiki for me is life and, as such, it is not definable in words as they are limited. This would also make the concept where it derives from limited and limiting. Reiki is in constant evolution, just like life, and so it is adaptable to all the circumstances we come into contact with. If it is in contact with me, it adapts to my peculiarities, just like it has done in my life. It is exactly in this way that Reiki transforms us and at the same time we transform it.

Once it becomes part of lives, it will surprise you, for its ability and intelligence, and how it will know, always with renewed emphasis, to create situations that will make you look into yourselves. To investigate yourselves, scrutinize yourselves and transform yourselves until you are moulded and completely renewed and along with you also the environment you live in. Only like this will it be possible for you to reach the evolution, growth and healing. Reiki is fully aware of this, but it needs your help and action to do this, it certainly cannot force you to do anything.

Reiki: universal vital energy; You see, the actual word explains to us what Reiki is. Reiki is energy that moves. Reiki is energy that makes evolution possible, the growth of things, the growth of the same life that it is impregnated into.

Reiki is universal energy because there is life in everything, even in things that seem apparently lifeless. This is why giving or receiving Reiki means to get into contact with the source where we all come from and it also means going into the life cycle.

Reiki brings about transformation by leading you to be in resonance with your sound of life, which is unique for each of us and is often ignored. Each of us has, in fact, a particular sound or frequency or energetic code that distinguishes us from others. To enter into contact with this sound is often very difficult because we tend to project it out of ourselves.

Taking the initiation in Reiki symbolically means “beginning a new action” or changing route and starting from scratch something that maybe we did against our nature. Turning to Reiki channels means opening the door to yourselves and embrace yourself after a long exile.

We discover along this path that we all have the potential to be happy. The greatest awareness is that we already possess the means to be so. “Where ever you go, you are already there”. This very beautiful phrase, taken from a book, illuminates and guides us because it is not necessary to go to a place to find happiness because it is already naturally present within us.

Reiki is therefore a journey of growth. Not of the ego or of the body. On the contrary, it is a journey of growth of the awareness of the fact that we are all waves in a immense ocean of love.

The history and the techniques are certainly important but not indispensible. To do Reiki it is simply necessary to open yourself up to life, and above all, to yourself. This is why I hope you will meet up with Reiki at some time in your life so that you can have direct experience in a way that the next time it will be you writing something new and different about this ancient art Reiki.

I would like to finish by wishing you good luck with reading this book.

The five Reiki principles taught by Usui

2010-02-03T07:36:00.000-08:00

Just for today, do not be angry
Just for today, do not worry
Just for today, be grateful
Just for today, work hard
Just for today, be kind to others

Mikao Usui believed that in order for anyone to practice Reiki and transfer healing energy to others, they must have first taken responsibility for their own health and wellbeing. He developed five principles which he taught to his students as strategies to apply to life. Here thety are as he defined them:

Just for today, do not be angry.

Anger can be a vast destructive force; it hurts others as well as ourselves. Anger closes us off from love and compassion.

Try to detach yourself from situations you feel are engendering any feelings of anger; do not just suppress the feeling for it to return another time. Anger will create a massive leak of the vital energy force from our systems.

Constantly remind yourself that anger is not your real nature and as such it will pass, try to acknowledge it, witness it and then let it go forever.

Remember the opposite of anger is calmness.

Just for today, do not worry.

Worry, like anger, will also create another great vital energy leak. While anger deals with past and present events, worry deals with perceived future events and happenings.

Although worry is not always a negative phenomenon, we should all disregard thoughts of future events and circumstances over which we have no ultimate control.

The source of worry is fear of change.

Just for today, be grateful.

We should all try to be grateful and show appreciation for the many blessings that can fill our lives, especially when times are difficult.

If we live in a state of gratitude, appreciating and giving thanks for the many blessings we have in our life, we can help transform negative attitudes and thoughts into positive ones.

When we are grateful for all that we have received, and when we believe that we will continue to receive these things, then we will attract abundance.

Just for today, work hard.

We should all work to the best of our ability each day. There is no job that is too humble that it does not require our full effort.

Through work we learn and grow. Our whole day should be filled with an effort to work hard and honestly at all we do.

Devotion will grow through working hard.

Just for today, be kind to others.

We should all try to show kindness to our fellow men. We must honor all living things and be tolerant of the way others choose to live their lives.

It is important that we realize and accept that being kind and friendly to everyone must include ourselves.

ReikiLife academy weekly Reiki practice

2010-01-29T17:33:00.000-08:00

Last Monday, January 25, the students of the ReikiLife Academy once again gathered for the weekly meeting, which on this occasion was based on the way Reiki degrees are structured. Graziano Scarascia, Reiki Master and Founder of the ReikiLife Academy, provided a simple, yet clear, explanation of the reasons and motives behind the student’s decision to the step from one Reiki degree to the next. He went on to say that, for instance, when making the decision to be initiated into the second degree, the student should not only have acquired and mastered the techniques of the first degree, but he should also have gathered a clear understanding of the symbolic meaning that each degree has. He also made it clear that the different degrees in Reiki are not about acquiring any special powers but instead they are about working on developing the skills required to use all the techniques and tools in a correct way. It is only through a consistent and frequent practice that the student may experience a balanced progress through the various degrees.

(below the opening page of “The Alchemist”, which always makes me think about my attitude towards the world)

The alchemist picked up a book that someone in the caravan had brought. Leafing through the pages, he found a story about Narcissus.

The alchemist knew the legend of Narcissus, a younth who knelt daily beside a lake to contemplate his own beauty. He was so fascinated by himself that, one morning, he fell into the lake and drowned. At the spot where he fell, a flower was born, which was called the narcissus.

But this was not how the author of the book ended the story.

he said that when Narcissus died, the goddesses of the forest appeared and found the lake, which had been fresh water, transformed into a lake of salty tears.

“Why do you weep?” the goddesses asked.

“I weep for Narcissus,” the lake replied.

“Ah, it is no surprise that you weep for Narcissus,” they said, “for though we always pursued him in the forest, you alone could contemplate his beauty close at hand.”

“But…was Narcissus beautiful?” the lake asked.

“Who better than you to know that?” the goddesses said in wonder. “After all, it was by your banks that he knelt each day to contemplate himself!”

The lake was silent for some time. Finally, it said:

“I weep for Narcissus, but I never noticed that Narcissus was beautiful. I weep because, each time he knelt beside my banks, I could see, in the depths of his eyes, my own beauty reflected.”

“What a lovely story,” the alchemist thought.

Happy New Year!

2009-12-31T10:36:00.000-08:00

Some thoughts for the new year...

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete.

Remember, spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever. Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side. Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.

Remember, to say, "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you. Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again. Give time to love, give time to speak, and give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

Explanation Of Instruction For The Public By the Founder, Mikao Usui

2009-12-04T05:11:00.000-08:00

"It is an old custom to teach a method to only my descendants for keeping a wealth within the family. However with the modern society we live in, we wish to share the happiness of co-existence and co-prosperity. So I do not allow my family to keep this (Usui Reiki Ryoho) method to ourselves.

"My Usui Reiki Ryoho is original, there is nothing like this in the world. So I would like to release this method to the public for everyone's benefit and I hope for everyone's happiness. My Reiki Ryoho is an original method based on the intuitive power in the universe. By this power, the body gets healthy and enhances one's happiness of life and peace of mind.

"Nowadays people need improvement and reconstruction inside and outside of life, so the reason for releasing my method to the public is to help people with illness of body and mind."

What is Reiki?

2009-12-01T15:26:00.000-08:00

Writing something about Reiki today is not a difficult thing to do. In fact, many books have been written about Reiki and there are hundreds of websites to be visited in order to know more about this subject. On the other hand it becomes a lot more difficult to write something new about it.

Before writing this introduction to this beautiful art, I wondered, "but in reality what is Reiki?" You know, it is not so easy to describe in words something that should actually be experienced. I am convinced that in order to really get to know something, it is necessary to fully experience it.

The problem, however, usually comes from the kind of expectations that people have about something and in this case about Reiki. Maybe you have read a book about Reiki, or some friend told you something about it, or maybe you ended up on a website that explains what Reiki is or this is the very first time that you hear about it and maybe you already have preconceptions.

Each person is unique in the Universe. Therefore, the way of seeing and feeling things is unique for each of us. What I'm writing here is in fact the result of the personal experience I have had with Reiki and for this exact reason what I am going to ask you is not to simply believe what I’m saying, but instead to try it for yourself so that you can one day describe your own experience with Reiki.

Reiki for me is life and, as such, it could never be codified or translated into words and the reason for this is that words are too limited. This means that the notion that I would transfer to you by using words would end up being limited and limiting.

Reiki is constantly evolving, just like life, and therefore it adapts to all circumstances with which it comes into contact. When Reiki is in relation with me, it will adapt to and suit my very own characteristics and this is in fact what Reiki has done in my life. This is how Reiki transforms us and this is how we transform it in return. Once Reiki has become a part of your life, it will surprise you, for skill and intelligence. As you get to know it better and deeper, you will see that again and again and with renewed emphasis Reiki will create situations that lead you to having to look within yourself, to investigate, to transform yourself until you have completely re-shaped and renewed yourself, and with you, the environment in which you live. Only then can you reach the kind of evolution, growth and healing that you have been looking for. Reiki is fully aware of what you need, but it also needs your help and your action and the reason for this is that it will certainly never force you to do anything as it never could.

Reiki means universal life energy. You see, the word Reiki already explains what Reiki really is. Reiki is energy that moves. Reiki is energy that makes evolution possible. Reiki is the energy that causes things to grow. It is the growth that life itself is impregnated with. Reiki is universal energy; universal because life is in everything, even in what is seemingly dead. That's why to give or receive Reiki means to contact the source from which everything springs and from which everything comes and goes in unity with the life cycle.

The history and techniques are important but not essential. To practice Reiki all you need to do is open yourselves to life and to yourselves. That's why I wish you that you may have a chance to encounter Reiki in your life so that you can experience it directly. By doing so next time it will be you to write something new and different about this ancient art.

Reiki brings transformation, which leads us to be in resonance with the sound of life, which is unique for each and every one of us. This is the kind of sound that is often ignored. Each of us has in fact a particular sound or frequency or code that distinguishes our own energy from the energy of others. To connect with this sound is often difficult because we have the tendency to project ourselves outside of us. This is due to the fact that we see our image only partially. We perceive it in full only by way of reflection - such as in a mirror - and this creates the illusion that in order to find unity we need to look outside. So we project small parts of ourselves into outer situations, objects, ideals, etc. Then what we do is to identify ourselves with all these things. In this way, however, instead of unity we experience more and more of the kind of separation and loss that inevitably creates suffering within ourselves. This misidentification does not bring us closer to our real essence, but rather takes us far away from it.

Being attuned to Reiki means symbolically to begin a new action or to change our course and start over from something or somewhere that perhaps was not appropriate to our nature. Becoming a Reiki channel means opening the door to ourselves and reunite with our true selves after a long exile.

Along this path we have the chance to discover that we have the potential to be happy. But the biggest awareness is that we already possess all that we need. "Wherever you go, you are there already." This beautiful phrase, which is taken from a book, enlightens us and guides us because there is no place where we must go in order to find happiness as it is already naturally present within us.

Reiki is therefore a path of growth. It is not the path of the growth of our ego, neither of our body. Instead, it is a path of growth in the awareness that we are all waves of a vast ocean of love.

Here in this Blog you will find plenty of information on Reiki. This information will always be presented in a humble way and it will be made available and accessible to both the experts and the neophytes.

Thus I hope you all find what you're looking for in the shortest amount of time and if I, with my little experience, may have contributed to give answers to your questions, this will transmute my sacrifices into divine gifts.

Before closing I would like to take this opportunity to wish you peace and prosperity for your lives.
