Forgiveness Reiki: A Path to Healing and Peace
Whereas many religious leaders only advocate forgiving, Michael Van Hecke teaches how to utilize hands-on healing skills to accelerate the forgiveness process. A long time hands-on healer, he advocates, "pouring out the old wine" with forgiveness before pouring in the new wine of prayer or energy healing. He is passionate about society's need to start thinking of ourselves as healers in order to live more mindfully and more compassionately.
Forgiveness Reiki is structured as a response to the question "How could you lead your church in forgiveness at your 16 year old son's funeral?" Van Hecke discusses Reiki, The Jesus Healing System and many aspects of Christianity to answer that question. He advocates reforming the contemporary church into more holistic spiritual centers for learning healing skills, meditation and mindfulness. He differentiates between healing and blessing (and not judging someone as needing to be, healed, or saved). This book includes both Forgiveness Reiki and Jesus Healing System prayers, which can be, used on their own or, to complement Reiki and other hands-on healing modalities.
Forgiveness Reiki might be required reading for any serious Reiki practitioner, but the author provides plenty of food-for-thought, for anyone who is spiritually hungry. He includes a modern Apostle's Creed and discussions on Forgiveness, FauxGiveness, Blessing, healing symbols, using loving emotions as healing symbols, and the physical manifestation of UnLove.
The Essence of Forgiveness Reiki
Forgiveness Reiki is a powerful healing practice that combines the principles of Reiki energy with the profound act of forgiveness. This method not only aims to heal physical ailments but also focuses on emotional and spiritual wellness. Many people find that through Forgiveness Reiki, they can release long-held grudges and resentment, allowing them to experience a deeper sense of inner peace and joy. The integration of Reiki with the concept of forgiveness nurtures the soul, and understanding how these elements work together is essential for effective healing.
Hands-on and Distance Healing Techniques
Forgiveness Reiki involves both hands-on healing and distance healing techniques, providing versatility in approach. During hands-on sessions, practitioners gently place their hands on or near a recipient, channeling healing energy into their body. On the other hand, distance healing allows practitioners to send this energy to anyone, regardless of their location. This means that individuals can benefit from forgiveness and healing even from afar. Both techniques empower individuals to connect deeply with their true selves and heal past emotional wounds.
Prayer and the Holy Spirit
An integral part of Forgiveness Reiki is the incorporation of prayer along with the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Through prayer, practitioners channel divine energies that enhance the healing process, making it not just a physical experience but a spiritual journey as well. Many participants report feeling a significant shift in their energy and emotional state, which they attribute to this divine connection. Thus, prayer serves as a bridge, helping individuals to cultivate an open heart and mind, embracing the transformative power of forgiveness with the support of spiritual life.
