Upekkha Reiki (Reiki for the dying)


Announcing Upekkha Reiki

We observe that the spiritual need at the end of life is of a special vibrational quality and reflect on the special needs of person's near death. In assisting a dying patient we wish to accomplish what Reiki Masters have referred to as "transition," we perceive the capacity to channel energy of a special and pure vibrational quality which we refer to as Upekkha Reiki (c).
Barbara Ray began her book, "The Reiki Factor" (1983) "Every day of your life represents an opportunity for a new beginning. Every breath you take is a rebirth,drawing in a new round of air connecting you to the universal vibrations of that particular moment. Exhaling is a letting go or releasing of what has now become the past, and the new breath again keeps you in the "here now" - the "eternal present".
Yet at the moment of death, or transition, ther is no next heartbeat, no next breath, only what his Holiness the Dalai Lama refers to as the "mind or consciousness" which "comes into being as a result of it's previous instants."
In the Western World, Traditional Medicine is split from Spiritual Healing,both are gifts from the same source, and should be used in a complimentary way, Sogyal Rinpoche writes, (The Tibetan Book of the Living and Dying") "For all it's technological achievements, modern Western society has no real understanding of death or what happens in death or after death...people today are taught to deny death, and taught that it means nothing but annihilation and loss. That means that most of the world either lives in denial of death or in terror of it.
It is in response to this reality, that we in Traditional Medicine who wish to Care when we can not Cure, must be aware of the power of the attunement to Upekkha Reiki (c) and, the assistance we can bring by channeling this specific vibrational energy.Upekkha translates roughly as, Equanimity or "evenness of mind under stress." However it can encompass much more. Ven. Nyanaponika Thera http://www.buddhanet.net/ss06.htm) describes equanimity as "perfect unshakable balance of mind rooted in insight." He notes that, "to the degree that we forsake "mine" or "self" Equanimity will enter our hearts. Such is the capacity of Upekkha Reiki (c) to assist the patient near death ("transition"), by channeling Spiritual energy that brings an unshakable calm, and in the stressful time before the severing of the bond between the consciousness and the body, prepares the soul to evolve forward, rather than to be held back by fear.

Near the end of life, the body is often failing and emaciated. While a physician may need to examine the body, in doing Reiki the comfort of the patient and the family in this moment does not require it. As the consciousness is preparing toleave the body, the need to unify all the Chakras is no longer as critical and the opening of the Crown Chakra allows the channeling of Spiritual Energy most useful for Equanimity and for transition. Prior to death we see the bodily functions of the root, second, and third chakras shutting down. With death, the heart ceases beating, and respiratiosn occuring in the chest and through the throat stop.
The Medical Personnel perceive death as occuring at that moment, however, as a final step, the spirit departs the body through the Crown Chakra. The beautiful transition of the Spirit can be perceived by the attuned Reiki Practitioner. Depemding on the grounding and attunement of the Practitioner, this can be an uplifting and beautiful experience, but, it can if faced with fear and without adequate grounding leve perceptions of disorientation and fear.
During this time of transition it is important that the Practitioner remain grounded and in prayers. Revernce and respect for this process is extremely important. by being a facilitator of the transition between life and death, we are stepping out as it were of the realm of life temporarily. In the capacity of facilitator we are in effect holding that person's spiritual handas they transition out of their body.
Deep grounded breathing, staying focused, and remembering to shield our own spirits will be of tantamount importance as we do this. We cannot allow fear to take hold at any point, as fear is simply negative faith. We have what we manifest, and what we want to manifest is peace and the Spiritual Energy of Equanimity. In order to maniest this, we first have to have this same spirit working within and without of ourselves.

Abide with us in healing & wellness...
We offer a symbol that we attune to for the basic level of Upekkha Reiki © that represents our connection to the Universal Spirit, our grounding to Gaia, and the Pwer symbol at both our wrists to allow energy that has entered through our own Crown to pass into the client, but to prevent the passing of invasive energy retrograde into the Reiki Practitioner.
It is important that the flow of energy through our own Chakras be unified, grounded, and without feaqr. We are not ourselves intended to treat or interfere with the transition of the "consciousness", but simply to act as a Channel for the Upekkha © energy which assists in this transition.
While we present our Master symbol it ought not be used without attunement to the Master level of Upekkha Reiki © and the basic level symbol ought not be used without attunement to the basic level of Upekkha Reiki ©.
The Reiki Practitioner who with humility is able to serve in such a momen ti s her/himself vibrationally transformed and will never be the same.
