Buddho Enersense
This teaching reveals how Reiki has its roots in a more all-encompassing Tibetan healing system which includes the use of mantras (sound healing meditations) and yantras (symbol visualisation meditations). It is clear to those who have studied these ancient methods that Reiki is a simplification of this comprehensive healing system.
Along with special meditations from Dr Usui that activate the chakras and nadis, this advanced work can raise us to states of higner consciousness and could be considered as the gentle path to enlightenment and self-realisation.
