Included is Part One of Rheanni’s award winning self-healing manual, Reiki Chakra Keys that will help you clear emotional and energy blockages while you develop your intuition.

Reiki Training Tips for After Your First Degree Attunement ~

#1 Begin with Self-healing.

Great benefits await those who utilize Reiki self treatments in their regular self-care routine. Daily treatments (anywhere between 5 – 25 minutes) are ideal, especially for those who may be experiencing toxic overload, burnout or high stress. During a treatment, Reiki has its own innate intelligence and will go where it’s needed.

#2 Be Open to Receive Healing and Proper Instruction.

Those who have been properly Attuned to the First Degree of Reiki Basic Training have a Reiki Guide who is there to help you learn how to use Reiki for yourself using your unique gifts and talents.

#3 Remember to Ask for Help.

I think the saying is, “riding on the wings of angels” and that’s just what we’re doing when we get our first Attunement and allow ourselves to accept help from our Reiki Guides and Teachers. 

It’s a good idea to regularly ask for help from enlightened beings and you can easily do that with #17 Divine Grace from Soul Prayer Charts.

Remember that Angels and your Reiki Guides respect your free will and will not ever try to force you into anything! Therefore, if you want their help, ask for it.

#4 Make a Commitment to Developing Your Highest Good.

What might be possible if you were to make a new agreement with your Higher Self that you are ready, willing and able to receive genuine help and support in accordance with your highest good? I suggest that your agreement include being respectful in your requests and appreciative towards those who help you.

Old Soul

Most importantly, make a Soul Contract with yourself to be kind and patient with yourself and to get more comfortable about asking for genuine help as you continue your Reiki journey. Would you be willing to sign your name to a contract like that?

#5 Remember to Follow Your Soul’s Intention.

The Intuitive Learning Circles have been developed by Rheanni Lightwater through Reiki to assist in the basic training and effective transmission of Reiki energy for self-healing and to others through distant healing. They can be especially helpful in clearing away those blockages to intentions and trusting your inner guidance.

Emulate the gentle and patient Tree Sloth. Slow down and gaze softly at her Circle and ask yourself:

“What is the most important thing I could do for myself at this time?”

Root Chakra

Root Chakra Balancing to Stabilize Your Foundation

This mind exercise has been put together to help us stabilize and get support for our lower bodies and more “feminine” energies through the First or Root Chakra.

Our root chakra governs the physical body, our instincts and the assumptions we have about life. Its color is red and is located at the bottom or root of your pelvis. Free flowing energy in your 1st Chakra is essential to generating healthy life energy and having a strong connection to Mother Earth.

Root Chakra - Reiki Chakra KeysGaze softly at the Root Chakra Key, then ask yourself:

“Do I have a strong foundation for creating physical health?” 

“Am I able to maintain a stable connection with the Earth?

If not, can you pick up any impressions as to why that might be? You may want to make a note of what comes up.

“Am I having trouble finding support for my projects?”

“Am I generating creative or destructive fire?”

Are violent or abusive experiences interfering with my health or vitality?

The health of your Root chakra could be involved with any of these issues. It’s quite easy for toxins and poisonous energies to build up in this energy center and sabotage your ability to manifest.

Continue  your inquiry with this Intuitive Learning Circle from Gifts from the Rainforest:

Do you feel that you’re entangled with others?

Does it feel like you’re out of balance because of changes in your environment?

Or, are you being affected by poisons or negative energies?

If so, you can go through this exercise for some re-organization and relief.

Mind Body Integration

Mind Body IntegrationFor best results, go through this Mind Exercise gazing softly at each Circle both crossed over the midline of the body and uncrossed so that the correction is more complete.

 

Bring your Root Chakra online.

Activated Chakra System for the New ParadigmBegin with this Reiki Chakra key for the 1st or Root Chakra. It’s also known as the “Base Chakra” and for good reason. It holds the foundational structure for your energetic and physical health.
When it’s out of balance, it can hold space for violence, abuse, illness and destructive energies. That’s why it’s so important to keep it cleansed and functioning in right relationship with the Earth.

As you softly gaze at this Key, get connected and balanced. Use this affirmation to help you:
“I connect with and bring my attention to my Base Chakra.”

The Base or Root Chakra

 

Clear violent energies, illness and debris from the 1st Chakra. 

Use the natural vibration and color of the Root Chakra to clear away toxic energies. If you are a Reiki practitioner, this is an ideal opportunity to beam Reiki into the symbol. These positive affirmations will help:

“My Root Chakra is open and clearing out toxic energies.” 

Soul Star for the Root chakra

“Destructive energies and karmic entanglements are leaving and going to the Light.”

Please note: In the Intuitive Learning Circle method, we always send what needs to be cleared to the Light, never into the Earth.
She already has too many destructive energies to handle now.
Let’s respectfully help the Earth bring herself back into balance by planting seeds of happiness, health and life instead!

 

Establish an intention to create healthy, proactive protection in your foundation and Root Chakra.

Use this Intuitive Learning Circle  to help you gather up the needed unconscious information.

“I ask for assistance from my Soul to create a healthy structure for protection and connection with Mother Earth.”

 

Integrate protection and communication from the New Paradigm.

Adapt to the new energies by using this Soul Prayer Chart for Divine Protection to help you close down harmful energy channels from the past.

“I close down all harmful energy channels from the past or from  _________.”

Once they’re closed, you’ll find that your chakra centers are more open and receptive to the generative life force (chi) that is available in the New Paradigm. You can “install” this symbol like an adaptive filter for the lighter, quicker energy of Air.

Then, visualize opening up to generative energy channels that connect with your Soul and help you to communicate clearly.

“I connect with the  generative flow of chi’ to successfully manifest and communicate.”

 

Bring your Balance Chakra into the mix.

This Chakra is located right on the on the tip of the tailbone and regulates balance within the Tao (the Underlying Principles of Nature) and the dynamics of Yin and Yang energies.
It has a lot to do with keeping us stable, especially when dealing with difficult or threatening situations.
Let the Balance Key help you stabilize and make a strong connection with your First Chakra.

“I am balanced and can stabilize even in the midst of conflict.”

Install the adaptive filter for Divine Protection.

 

Release attachments and the damage they cause.

Because of the sheer amount of tragic and heart breaking events we’re encountering everyday, we need to address the possibility that our energy is probably damaged and/or struggling with attachments.
Use this Soul Star Detachment Key to relax and meditate on for as long as you like. Like a healing balm, imagine that a loving coat of peace and comfort is pouring down over you.

“My energy system is easily and effectively neutralizing interfering energies and detaching from them.”

 

Correct reversals and blockages.

When our system are under extreme stress, the chakras and/or meridians can start running in reverse or shut down entirely.
Relax and let this symbol help you make corrections to problems including allergic reactions, reversals and misdirections.

“I repair any glitches, holes or blockages in my energy system.”

Take all the time you need to let the energy smooth out to where you can begin to feel the energy of your Soul coming through.

 

Make sure your Soul is in charge of this balance and your healing.

Confirm that you’re using your own Soul vibration to construct your new foundation based on energetic autonomy and integrity.
Allow the energy of your Soul to come in and fill your consciousness with its life giving vibration. While gazing at this Soul Prayer Chart, think about physical activities that you genuinely enjoy doing. Then ask yourself:

“What color, feeling or vibration comes to mind?”

This is your Soul Color. Let it fill your body, your mind and into your aura.

 

Clarify your Soul signature. 

Just like when we sign our names, each of us has an energy signature that identifies us and whatever we have created. If that signature is marred, obscured or out of balance, we become susceptible to increased projections, confusion, fraud and mistaken identities.

Don’t let that happen to you. Clear and balance your energy signature to deflect these issues with this chart.  Visualize erasing any false markings or “graffiti” out of your energy field.

“I clear away any energy signatures that are not mine.” 

“I know who I am. My signature is distinct from the signature of others.”

 

Connect with the Earth Chakra.

Activated Chakras - Earth and Root ChakraThe third energy center to include in this balance is the Earth Chakra, located directly below your feet. This is your natural energetic connection point to Mother Earth.
The old foundation has used the Earth primarily as a commodity to be exploited or as a dumping ground. Repair your personal power by establishing a healthy connection with this Earth Chakra Key:

“I activate and empower a respectful Earth connection.”

 

Again, strengthen your connection and communication channels through the Divine Protection chart.

 

Having a Clear Root Chakra Works with Your Agreements to Help You Create Vitality and Healthy Support.

That includes the contracts or agreements around support, stability, strength and vitality. Look deeply into the Circle and consider the people, the places and the organizations that could be affecting you in a negative way. Those relationships may not be over, but surely they are going to change! Free up your energy with this Circle by letting go of those agreements.

“I let go of all Soul Agreements that are complete – over and done with.  I allow the necessary changes to take place.”

Release sub-conscious agreements to hold space for dangerous or violent energies. Clear out destructive entanglements that contribute to illness and low energy. See completed debts, vows and resentments burn up like old contracts in a beautiful, violet flame.

You may want to surrender your involvement with a  project,  a person, an organization or a special place that’s no longer serving your needs. Surrender it by releasing that Soul contract into the fire.

“I have completed my experience with you. It was an important experience and it’s time now to be done with it.”

Release Agreements with the old paradigm or status quo.

When these chakras are unified and communicating with each other, it’s possible to access deep seated cultural and religious agreements that keep our bodies enslaved to the status quo.
Look deeply into the the Circle and release agreements that are harmful to your wellbeing and vitality:

“I detach from destructive foundations and energy patterns.”

If you’re a Reiki Practitioner, beam the Distant Healing Symbol into the Circle to help you unlock the chains clear them out. Visualize them collapsing like old structures crumbling into nothingness.
Continue until the space is cleared.

 

Connect with a map of creating common ground for the common good.

Now, you’re free to organize your new foundation into this template for the new paradigm based on common ground for the common good.
Meditate on this template for a few moments and when you’re ready, gently lower your new “roots” to  connect with the elements of this map.

Connect with the communication channels of Divine Protection to help you stabilize this new foundation.

 

Integrate your new foundation with your Essence at the Third Chakra.

It’s important that your foundation get integrated with your “home base” template located in your Solar Plexus Chakra.

Relax with your 3rd Chakra at your solar plexus (the area where your ribs go up in the front).
Your Essential Self is most efficiently located there to help you manifest, create happiness and maintain health.
When your Essential Self is clear about where it’s new foundation is and how to communicate with it, you’ll have a much easier time getting grounded and staying that way.

Installing the Divine Protection filter in the solar plexus will help the information and energy channels get integrated for the benefit of your “gut instincts.”

 

Clear debris out of your Solar Plexus Chakra.

Use the Soul Star for the 3rd Chakra to clear out any old energies or interference from that area.
It may take some time, so go ahead and relax into it using Reiki to assist. Be sure to send them to the Light as well.

 “I expel toxic energies and old junk from my Third Chakra and send them to the Light.”

 

Repair and/or strengthen hara lines for improved communication and healing

The hara lines are like tiny webs of light that connect the chakras throughout your body. Sometimes they’re broken or damaged because of trauma, illness, toxicity or sudden changes in the sympathetic nervous system (fight or flight). This Circle gives extra energy to the hara lines that are involved with this balance.

“I repair and strengthen my hara lines.”
“My chakras are connected with my Soul properly through a golden web of light.”

This Circle also helps us navigate where we are and to organize our consciousness around being present. “I am inside of my body. Everything else is outside.”

 

Clear away the shadows with Divine Light.

Beam Reiki into this Soul Prayer Chart to radiate Universal Light and Love throughout your energy field.
Stay with it until all heaviness and darkness has completely disappeared into the Light.

Be sure to close out this healing with the Reiki Power Symbol.
“All pathways that lead back to harm or toxic energies are
sealed and healed.”

 

Detach from any allegiances with violence and confusion.

A necessary part of protection is about making sure that we’re no longer taking in harmful substances or energies that connect us with people or places we don’t want to go anymore.
Allow this Circle to help you drop any harmful ties, cords or entanglements.

“I release all harmful connections, cords and obligations with dangerous or abusive people, organizations or situations.”

 

Embrace closure and completion.

Be sure to close out this healing with the Reiki Power Symbol.

“All pathways that lead back to harm or toxic energies are sealed and healed.”

 “I follow the direction of my Soul’s protection and intended path.”

Close the pathways both crossed and uncrossed over the midline of your body.

Congratulations!

You are learning to manage your energy in a conscious, balanced and nourishing way!

Now would be an excellent time to go for a walk out in Nature or exercise.

Be sure to breathe deeply!

CLEAR DISTRACTIONS FROM YOUR MIND 

Rheanni Lightwater - Releasing Soul Contracts
w/ Rheanni Lightwater

As you learned in the previous Tutorials, each Circle has a different healing action or medicine and is often used in sequence with positive affirmations to help you focus your intent and support the positive changes that you’re asking for.

When the Circle are put together in different sequences, they can help us accomplish different mental and emotional tasks. In this case, let’s go through a short sequence that will help you clear distractions and focus on your own objectives more effectively.

Mind Body IntegrationRemember as you go through this visualization, each Circle is working with your breath and Inner Guidance – helping you to shift and change in just the way that’s best for you.

You are in charge of your attention, unless you’ve given that power away!

Access and Utilize Your Natural Creative Abilities.

Sometimes people are overstimulated or have learning difficulties that interfere with their ability to focus and productivity. Sometimes, a more creative and instinctual approach will help. Use these positive affirmations with the Circles to access your intuition, gut instincts and the creative power of Nature through #31 Dragonfly.

“I actively seek out the wisdom of my Animal Instincts and the Natural World.”

“I accept help from the generous, abundant resources of life and listen to their promptings.”

“I connect to the natural protective and creative abilities of my Psyche and Soul.”

Ask your Power Animal to help you see your objective from your Soul’s perspective:
– Are there any distractions interfering with your ability to focus?
– Do you need to detach from any harmful intentions, extremes or expectations?
– Are you heading the wrong way?

 

When you have a lot of noise or buzzing going on in your head, Mosquito Medicine can help you. Imagine that you can open up a window and let in some fresh air to clear up your mind.

“I relax and allow the buzzing and excess noise to move out of my head
on a gentle gust of wind.”

 

Now imagine that your mind just has too much information coming in, like having too many tabs open on your computer.
Piranha Medicine #8 will help you close those extra tabs out. Use these positive affirmations to help:

“All extraneous openings are closing down.”

There could be hundreds of them, so be sure to repeat each visualization both crossed and uncrossed over the midline of your body.

“Pathways to distractions are sealed up and healed.”

“I turn my attention to the direction of my Soul’s intention.”

 

Once you’ve closed out the noise, let Praying Mantis help you refocus your attention on whatever your current priority is.

“I am able to pull my energy and attention in so I can focus on what I’m doing.”

Again, do that both crossed and uncrossed so the correction is complete.

“What is the next step for my priority?”

 

Remember all that you learned from Raccoon in Rainforest Tutorial #V? This is an excellent example of when and how old agreements you’re holding onto could be interfering with your well being.

“I release all agreements to automatically give my power away or
allow my mind to be distracted.”

“I let go of second guessing myself or doubting my own priorities.”

Be sure that your new agreements confirm who is in charge, what you’re doing and how you get it done.

“My Soul is in charge of how my energy is used – even when I’m distracted by ____________.”

“I reclaim my power and attention.”

“I focus on what’s important.”

 

If you need more help, use Wasp Medicine #5 to pull your energy away from negative situations or encounters. Include worries about the future or even old memories of painful experiences.

“I pull myself and my energy out of negative spaces and experiences that are detrimental to me.”

The Wasp also reminds you to keep yourself protected. Do you have proper protection now? If not, what might help?

“I stop operating under the influence of this energy.”

“I find other, more positive ways to move forward.”

 

It’s possible that you’ve been taking your projects a little too seriously and the energy around them has gotten too heavy.

Gather yourself in your center with #14 Otter Medicine and bring some fun and lightness into whatever you’re doing. Include “having some fun” as part of your intention!

“I want to bring a healthy sense of fun into what I’m doing.”

 

You might also have lost track of what the purpose for your original intention was. Garden #44 can help you place it again.

Use the Circle to remember what this activity has to do with your life and the personal dream you hold for yourself.

“The purpose of this activity is to ______________.”

Is your heart in the right place? If it isn’t, what might help?

 

You may have some particularly harmful intentions affecting you, conditioned from past experiences or expectations. Be sure that your mind isn’t holding contradictory or outdated intentions that would bring chaos and confusion into what you’re doing and what kind of results you’re getting.

“My Soul is in charge of where I put my energy and how I use it –
even when I’m distracted by ____________.”

 “I let go of intentions that are rigid and inflexible.”

 “I stop sending energy to the idea that what I’m doing has to be perfect.”

Creativity, flexibility and adaptability are important priorities to send energy to under our current circumstances.

 

Butterfly Medicine #34 can help you remember to tap into the most positive energies available to you, no matter where you are.

“I relax and use the most beneficial energies possible to manifest my true objectives successfully.”

 

Now that you have the proper focus, position, agreements, purpose and energy, let #47 Starlight Medicine help you put it all together. Use this affirmation: 

“I have successfully organized my objectives around the priorities of my Soul.”

Get up and move around a bit to help this settle and get integrated. When you come back, you can ask yourself:

“What is the next best step I can take to help me with my objectives?”

Congratulations! You’ve just pulled yourself back from the dangers of a distracted mind. Get up and move around a bit to help this settle and get integrated.

Next Time:

In the Seventh Tutorial, you’ll get an opportunity to experience how Gifts from the Rainforest can help you take aim at the concept of reciprocity.
