The Spiritual Health

This is a biography of Hawayo Takata. It’s important to keep in mind the history of Reiki and its earliest masters. They have become rather complicated over the years. Since practitioners and teachers have added elements of their own culture and understanding to the stories.
Hawayo Takata spread the healing art of Reiki (“universal life force,” or as Mrs. Takata called it, “God power”) through the Western world. As a Japanese American, she helped to promote understanding of Japanese spiritual culture, in a time when all things Japanese were rather taboo.
Hawayo Takata was born in 1900, on Christmas Eve, in Hawaii. For thirty years she lived in America with no exposure to Eastern holistic healing methods. In 1930, when her sister died, she traveled to Japan to inform her family there of the passing. While Mrs. Takata was in Japan she became very ill and was hospitalized. As surgeons prepared to operate on her, she kept hearing a voice in her head telling her that surgery was not necessary.
Finally, she asked if there were other healing options available to her, and the doctors referred her to Dr. Chujiro Hayashi, Reiki practitioner.
Mrs. Takata, as she begged him to teach her the healing art. Reluctantly he complied, and taught her to the level we now call Reiki II, which meant she was able to self-heal; heal others, but not to train others. Dr. Hayashi was the Grand-Master of Reiki. He was appointed by Dr Mikao Usui, the founder and discoverer of the Reiki practice. He was also an officer in the Japanese naval reserve. He healed Mrs. Takata.
In 1936, Dr. Hayashi visited Mrs. Takata in Hawaii when he traveled there for a speaking tour to promote Reiki. There he trained her to what we now call Reiki III, making her a Reiki Master, and giving her the ability to train others. He also made her promise that should he summon her to Japan, she would immediately heed his call.
Dr. Hayashi passed his Grand mastery to Mrs. Takata. As the political climate in the world worsened, and the storm clouds of World War II loomed on the horizon for Japan. Mrs. Takata received a physic dream in which DR. Hayashi appeared to her and asked her to visit Japan to him. When arriving to Dr. Hayashi, Mrs. Takata found him in a state of much distress. He believed he would soon be called into action in the navy, and forced to fight. He told her that his spiritual developments over the years prevented him from being able to partake in violence. He died with his family and fellow practitioners by self will after passing it to her. Thus, Dr Hayashi’s life ended, but his work continued through Mrs. Takata.

The reiki treatment was applied by the simple touch of hand of the reiki practitioner on the patient’s body. The whole treatment is based on the idea of the “life force energy” which is believed to flow all through our body and is the main reason due to which we are alive. The treatment heals this energy of the patients and thus cures them of their problems.

In the reiki treatment, the reiki energy flows not just from the healer’s body into the specific individual, but flows from the numerous unlimited sources of light energy which are even beyond the understanding of the human mind. This energy flows into our complete body and also into the various other things. The reiki energy, flows into our emotional, physical and even the mental part of our body. You can feel the change after reiki treatment.

The main purpose for reiki treatment to the patients is to increase or clear the energy channels if at all a blockage existed in them. The energy is basically passed on from the reiki practitioner’s hands which are placed at the specific locations of the body which correspond to the reiki chakras of the patient. The treatment mainly depends on the practitioner and his energy power. Depending on this, the reiki practitioner can either heal a patient by touching him or by sending his powers by his thoughts or by the power of his mind.

“Reiki Chakras” is basically a Sanskrit word that means “Wheel”.As we all know, reiki is a Japanese technique used to heal the various ailments and disorders by the touch of the reiki master or the reiki practitioner. To treat the various disorders it most primarily important to understand the chakras of reiki in our body.  The chakras are connected to our physical organs inside our body and also to the other layers of our body.

Chakra means a “wheel “which spins around its axis. The chakras spin according to the energy level of our body system. The chakras are situated at the various places in our body. The chakras can be said to be small but vital parts of our body which are also the crucial parts of a large network of sub-tile energies. The human body consists of the most important systems of our body such as the breathing, sensory, digestion, circulation, secretion and reproduction systems. Corresponding to these six systems, there are other six chakras for the bodily functioning of these systems. The brain of our body and the complete person also has one chakra which thus makes in total 7 chakras. These chakras are situated in the various positions such as the top of our head, forehead, throat, solar plexus, heart, naval and the bottom of the pelvis.

The activity of these 7 chakras in our body cause the various changes and activities in our body such as our body shape, the chronic physical ailments, various glandular processes, our thoughts and behavior. If under any circumstances or reasons, one or more chakras get blocked in our body it will affects the energy flowing through them. Thus, it will directly cause an imbalance in the various systems of our body and thus affect all the obvious areas of our life. Hence, one should be very careful and also take care of all the chakras in our body. During the reiki treatment, the chakras and position of the hands of the practitioner play a very crucial part in the healing of the patient.

Each and every chakra in our body corresponds to a specific organ of our body’s system.

• Root chakra- Corresponds to the larger intestine and the rectum. The root charka also has certain control over the functions of the kidney.

• Naval chakra- According to the reiki principles, the naval corresponds to the reproduction system of our body which includes the testicles, ovaries and also has an effect on the urinary bladder and the kidney.

• Solar plexus chakra- This chakra is in association to the liver, small intestine, stomach, spleen and the gall bladder.

• Heart chakra- The heart chakra influences and corresponds to the heart and the arms.
• Throat chakra- The throat chakra corresponds to the respiratory system such as the lungs and the throat.

• Forehead chakra- The forehead chakra is also termed as the third eye chakra as it is located on the forehead at the position of the third eye of Lord Shiva. This chakra corresponds and influences the brain, face, eyes, nose etc.

• Crown chakra- This chakra is one of the most important chakras in our body. It doesn’t correspond to any particular system or organ but actually corresponds to the whole person.

According to the tradition and the principles of reiki, each of these chakras also corresponds to a particular gland of our body.

• Root chakra- Corresponds to the adrenal gland.

• Naval chakra- This chakra influences the ovaries or the testicles.

• Solar plexus chakra- This chakra influences the pancreas.

• Heart chakra- The heart chakra influences the thymus gland in our body.

• Throat chakra- The throat chakra corresponds and influences the functioning of the thyroid gland in our body.

• Forehead chakra- This chakra is connected to the pituitary gland of our body.

• Crown chakra- Finally the crown chakra is connected to the pineal gland in our body.

Based on the years of study and research, it is clearly believed that the condition of the chakras directly affects the condition of its organ. The chakras in our body cause different types of reaction which mainly depends on the energy level in the reiki chakras. A chakra can be in a balanced state or active state or can be in an over active state or perhaps under active state. Reiki has the power to keep these energy chakras in a proper balance as well as keep the corresponding organs healthy.

The endocrine system is a major part in the proper functioning of all the organs in our body. It is known that the chakras, change their energy level from on to the other thus passing “Chi” or the energy to the whole body. All this according to the reiki researches and studies is done through the endocrine system which also helps to regulate the other systems of our body. The glands in our body secrete several hormones which flow directly into the bloodstream and also are responsible for the growth, development and the various other activities of our body. Most of the physical problems caused in our body, result due to the improper flow of energy in our system which is made of meridians and the 7 chakras.
