Before I was guided to do Reiki I was already doing energy and healing work naturally without any formal initiations or training, I was fully interactive with my guides, fully aware of them able to see them VERY coherently.

When I went for my Reiki I and was presented with both the information and ‘guidance’ of these Reiki masters I quickly felt confused and lost in terms of the confining attitudes and restrictive training presented as a normal part of the Reiki healing system. The presentation and approach seemed to me to be at odds with a spiritual path, which should be promoting change, openness and creativity. The lack of some of these qualities was confirmed not long after my second initiation when I was politely (Well actually not politely but I am going to be polite about it) sent to Coventry by the particular (VERY respected) Reiki people whom I had been working with.

No place to go?

It was made indirectly very clear that I would not be offered a place to do the Reiki Mastership. Now, as Reiki healing is considered a somewhat essential rubber stamp to ones presentation of energy work I was left feeling lost and let down by both this episode and the general attitude amongst Reiki healers.

A respected offer

Within a few months however someone who asked for a healing from me and who could feel the quality of what I was working with rather than making an assumption of quality because of a name or particular presentation offered to give me the Reiki Mastership initiation. This offer however, still left me puzzled. As I was looking for what would give me a much better alignment with what I was focused on achieving which was about me exploring and finding myself at deeper and deeper levels and this had been amply demonstrated to be lacking within this particular system then why was I being guided to do this initiation?

Puzzled but following and trusting what I felt was right, I went for this Reiki initiation. It came as no surprise then, that the person initiating me although (like many) was glued to the ‘R’ word had in fact had many unusual initiations with regards paths that have a much greater and open focus than Reiki. It was these energies that I was here for and not the Reiki ones. So, I got via a formal Reiki style initiation what I needed from all of the energies that she was connected to. I thank her very much for this opportunity I very much appreciated this.

The flip side is sometimes the bright side?

A few days later while working with Michael Bradford as part of his self mastership group focused on personal empowerment and self mastership, it was pointed out to me that I had a negative energy cap sealing off my crown which was trying to prevent me from accessing higher levels and was capping my awareness. As we had worked together to remove one of these from myself in the last evening class with Michael before the Reiki initiating weekend then I was very surprised to find another of the same appearing so fast. This item, it was determined had been placed there as part of the Reiki initiation, this was to try and keep me aligned (or more accurately glued and attached) to this energy system. This apparently happens at the mastership level. This explains why many who start off with Reiki find it so hard to move beyond it. So, I not only removed this cap, but also disconnected myself from ALL the Reiki energies and Reiki support teams (about 20 minutes work) – you could say that I de-initiated myself. Again from the perspective of Reiki people this is an impossibility and of course it is both if you believe it and don’t have either the energy levels or higher level connections and consciousness to support doing it.

What do you want?

People say that Reiki is a good healing system to start out with to learn the basics to be used as an introduction to healing. I cannot disagree more; Reiki is a front, it is solely a means used to attract good people to keep them entrapped, unmoving, unexploring bound to something that makes moving on very difficult. Reiki acts as a ball and chain a shiny, sparkly, lovely presentation with dire and negative consequences to future growth in all lives.

Too much is taken on trust. The authority of the ascended master administration - the spiritual hierarchy is all encompassing. None question it. Although, we are told to exercise discernment yet we are not encouraged to be discerning towards those telling us to discern. We are not expected to question this government - because that is what it is. Earth at this time presents ALL misalignments hugely amplified to its humans residents so that we have a chance to see them. This is one of the gifts of this place. As this gives us 10 times the discerning power compared to any none human then it is sad we are not given more freedom to use this environment as it was intended. Those guiding us are themselves being misguided; they do not question these areas either or why the design to free us has already failed us three spiritual cycles previously.

Quantity have never been a measure of quality

Anyone concerned with their evolution would do well to stay away from Reiki healing, initiations and all Reiki variations. Try Magnified Healing instead a much marginalised approach with only 40,000 known initiations which must be a fraction of the number that have taken Reiki. As Magnified healing offers much more opening, expansive energies, is freer and does not keep you bound to itself and is more powerful than Reiki then of course it is not allowed to attract people rather people are kept away from it.

Quantity has never impressed me as a measure of quality. Early last century in the UK the majority of the population used to smoke and you were considered and often treated as an outsider and misguided if you did not smoke. My father as a none smoker experienced this attitude as a teenager to a point where he was bullied to try and force him to take up the common habit - join the sheep. My advice; take up smoking rather than train in Reiki as you are likely to experience less long term debilitations as a consequence while also getting an immediate physical demonstration of how much it will f**k you up in the long term.

The sheer power of Reiki to ensure entrapment

Sometime after this capping experience I had a Reiki master come to me wanting advice and help. She had been puzzled as to why her level of awareness and abilities to access had been much reduced since the Reiki mastership initiation. So, this is someone with natural abilities already well beyond what Reiki can offer and this demonstrates very well what I am talking about. The cap holds and blocks awareness and progress beyond a certain point, so rather than her energy cap holding her to what she already had it resulted in her being brought down to the same level as it holds all others to. So, rather than leaving her feeling expanded (but capped from further expansion) it reduced what she already had to the level that Reiki people are not allowed to move beyond.

As a result she was aware of having much less abilities after the Reiki mastership than before, and had also been feeling disconnected too; that is she had lost energy connections that she had before the initiation - they had been blocked also. This is exactly the effect that the energy cap has on someone with either natural or developed capabilities beyond Reiki; to have them cut off and or reduced.

So, we worked together to take away the energy cap and restore her original connections. She could feel the difference straight away; the awareness and capabilities that she had from before the Reiki mastership returning.

Here is an Audio of me explaining this to a client Shirley whom has related experience of limitations to growth.

Then she did the most amazing thing; demonstrating the power of the Reiki system illusion, energy drug and resulting spiritual brainwashing. She continued to offer the full Reiki training to others even though she knew from direct experience what had been done to her, she went on to pass the same awareness blocks to others following her. I find it quite astounding that the manipulation of people involved with Reiki is so strong that even when they are made directly aware of and can feel what has been done to themselves they still revert to the Reiki capping program.

‘But Reiki is just so wonderful’; which of course it is because it is deliberately made addictive. Reiki will heal the planet? I don’t think so rather Reiki addicted junkies will make more Reiki junkies until there is no one left to help you out of the Reiki black hole.

Commentary: Reiki is a classic example of an energy system being presented as something that it is not. Unfortunately Reiki is not the exception but the norm.

• These situations were a reminder that you have to generate your own motivation, focus and alignment and don’t assume that what you hear is the truth, no matter how well meaning the people are who speak it.
• For those with a strong and independent focus to evolve then this often has us guided not to what is aligned but what isn’t so that we can move on from it and deal with any parts within ourselves that resonate in the same way.
• I have just re-written the first level training manual of my own approach completely for the 7th time in four years. It now not only bears no relation to the last manual in any respect but would be unrecognisable as something with any connection to the first written. This is as it should be; a reflection of your own continuous movement.

Reiki is also one of those energy systems that tries to keep you tied to it’s energy connections for ever - not even just for this life. They state that you cannot be disconnected, that you will never lose what you are given. That this is actually presented as a good thing is bizarre enough but what is worse is that people are so desperate to be part of ’something’ that they don’t question what this really means.

With Reiki they even take this one step further and force this to be true by capping any expansion beyond it. You should understand the sheer arrogance of any beings or representatives of an system for them to say or even suggest this that there is nothing that can supersede what has been given - i.e. there will be no change or movement - because this is what this really represents - a guarantee to not move. Which is of course wonderful if all you want to do is stay the same and not actually grow? Do you understand this? A truly spiritual system would make further movements easy by providing information and the ability to help you disconnect from any and all energies that you have now out grown.
