Reiki Jin Kei Do (RJKD) is a modernized version of the traditional Reiki practice. ‘Reiki Jin Kei Do’ roughly translates to The Way/Practice (Do) of Compassion (Jin) and Wisdom (Kei) through Universal (Rei) Life-Force Energy (Ki).
It all began in Japan in the early 20th century when RJKD founder Mikao Usui created a system that was essentially comprised of various energy-based spiritual healing methods; however, it was not considered an ‘energy therapy.’
Later, Usui taught his system to Dr. Chujiro Hayashi who expanded the RJKD foundation and regarded it as an energy therapy, though Usui considered that to be a misrepresentation of what RJKD truly is.
Today, RJKD is a secular life tool that is practiced throughout the world as a way of exploring personal development and a deeper life experience.
How is Reiki Used for Personal Development?
Reiki Jin Kei Do is inherently a therapeutic practice. One of the goals of RJKD is to reach a state of enlightenment or spiritual awakening through meditation, either by oneself or with the assistance of a Reiki guide. The practice is meant to be used as a tool for understanding life, ourselves, and using ourselves to support others.
Reiki Jin Kei Do helps us deepen the compassion we feel for ourselves and others. Practitioners learn how to treat themselves with more patience, kindness, and love. In turn, they radiate this positive energy toward all things that they encounter in life. Reiki is a guide toward a more aligned life.
What are the Benefits of Reiki ?
Reiki helps us unlearn many of the things that we are conditioned to believe are true – things about ourselves, about others, and about the world. This unlearning begins by first making you aware that the conditioning exists and what your personal conditioning manifests as. From there, we will begin to break down the negative aspects of your conditionings to make room for more positivity than ever before.
This intense self-reflection will help you live a more intentional and authentic life. When you are aware of your thought processes, you can actively work to correct them when they become destructive or negative. On the other hand, you can lean into your positive thought processes and allow them to carry you through to the life you’ve always been meant to live.
One you have done this work on yourself and your energy, it will begin to express itself outwardly as compassion and unconditional love for others.
