Expanding the Reiki System

with Powerful Spiritual Abilities
 Reiki is an effective system for healing and stimulating mental, emotional, and
spiritual growth. However, Reiki does not make the visit to a doctor, naturopath, or
psychotherapist superfluous when there is a suspicion of a serious health disorder.
Naturopathy (which also includes Reiki) would like to supplement orthodox medi-
cine wherever the latter cannot heal people and animals, but it does not want to con-
sider it unnecessary in any respect.
The information and exercises introduced in my book have been carefully re-
searched and passed on to the best of my knowledge and conscience. Despite this
fact, the author and the publisher do not assume any type of liability for damages of
any type which occur through the direct or indirect application or utilization of the
statements in this book.
A further note: The illustrations in this book show nude people in order to graphi-
cally demonstrate the hand positions of Reiki and better convey the atmosphere of
closeness, freedom, and love which Reiki radiates. But this does not mean that Reiki
must be practiced in the nude. Participants in the Reiki training seminars are also fully
‘dressed.
When I talk about the Master, Grand Master, and students, the feminine form of
these words is fundamentally included as well. When the word “he” is used in place
of the more awkward “he or she,” it is not meant to be discriminatory in any way.

 Introduction

Progress is the realization of utopias.

(Oscar Wilde)

It's now been more than seven years since Reiki, or more precisely:
the Usui System of Natural Healing, entered my life. Much has hap-
pened since then. Sometimes I have the feeling that I have lived a
hundred years in this relatively short period of time when I let the
many intense experiences pass through my mind. Yet, often when
I become acquainted with a further possibility for applying this uni
que system of energy work (because I can't be discouraged from
the thought that a certain thing can also somehow be accomplished
with Reiki), it seems to me that I'm just getting to know it for the first
time. So many new things occur with infallible regularity that I'm
astonished over and over again. The intensive contact with this force
on a regular basis in thousands of initiations, research, and treat-
ments permits me to more strongly feel the highs—and the lows—
of my life. Reiki gives me the strength to do important things and
guides me, when | let it, on the right path to the experiences and
perceptions that are important for me. As a result, this wonderful
“universal” life energy has become a matter of course for me. This 1s
true to such an extent that I often, even when I sleep, am involved
with the Reiki symbols and mantras or lay my hands on my body and
treat myself—as my wife tells me with a laugh in the morning.
On the other hand, I feel that the further my knowledge in rela-
tion to Reiki and energy work develops in general, the less I basi-
cally know. Then I realize how many fantastic possibilities are
waiting to be explored and applied. There are still so many unsolved
mysteries, and so I don't even want to stop exploring Rainbow Reiki.
However, solely the fact that a certain Rainbow Reiki technique
works isn't enough for me on its own. Since I like to take responsi-
bility for what I do, it's important to me to comprehend how some-
thing functions, exactly what I'm doing, and why it produces certain
effects, and under which circumstances something doesn't work.
I pass on the results of this excursion through the world of Reiki to
my students in the various advanced courses on the First, Second,
and Third Degrees and am happy when they experience something
wonderful with them. Many responses from this circle of enthusias-
tic Reiki practitioners have already given me very interesting addi-
tional ideas and also increased my understanding of the rules ac-

9
cording to which Reiki functions. There have been and continue to
be interesting reports of experiences particularly on the topic of
Reiki Essences, an application that I have developed for lastingly
putting the healing energetic patterns of plants, animals, minerals, or
those direct from the subtle world, into a carrier substance like water
or sugar by means of a new Second Degree technique. You will find
an expressive report by one healing practitioner in the Appendix
Two.
In my first three books on the topic of Reiki I have extensively
explained the fundamentals of the traditional Usui System of Reiki
and also described some interesting new applications as an impulse
for the readers' own developments.
The methods introduced in this book are a small' but choice ex-
cerpt of my research results, which go far beyond the collection of
original Reiki methods and knowledge that has been traditionally
handed down. This means that this book deals with the avantgarde
of Reiki research. In the course of the years, a complex system has
developed from this, a system that I call Rainbow Reiki. Although
Rainbow Reiki is absolutely founded on the Usui System of Reiki
and its methods and initiations, it essentially stretches the area of
energy work and additionally covers the possibilities of subtle com-
munication. The word “Rainbow” occurred to me because all the
colors are contained in the light of the rainbow and this beautiful
work of art created by nature has always been seen as a connecting
link between heaven and Earth, the human being and the subtle
world. Rainbow Reiki is a system of energy work for doing practi-
cally anything that can be possibly moved, formed, or developed
through energetic effects. And it offers very direct opportunities for
contact with the subtle levels of the world, which you will soon see
for yourself as you continue to read. Furthermore, I like the sound of
this expression. So that's why there's a new term for the higher level
of Reiki energy work.
[ have tried to compile this method, useful in daily life, in a com-
prehensively functioning combination that is interesting for both the
First and the Second Degree. This experience-based section is sup-
plemented by the necessary theoretical background information,
which can help you understand what you are doing and enable you
to accept responsibility and deal creatively with Rainbow Reiki.
Furthermore, there is a longer section in Chapter One on what I feel
to be constructive applications of important ethical fundamentals for

'A great many things collect in seven years. If I didn't have such an efficient computer, halfofmy
discoveries would certainly have slipped my mind in the meantime. Technology does have its
benefits when you get older...

10
energy work in general and Rainbow Reiki in particular. Without
sincere efforts towards personal growth and a fair and wise way of
approaching energy work, no genuine spiritual quality of life and no
lasting happiness in life can be achieved. This part of the book there-
fore offers a foundation for holistically understanding Rainbow Rei-
ki. Please read it carefully, listen to your inner voice, and find your
own balanced ethical standpoint on the use of energy work, which
always should and can be used for the benefit of all participants.
Through the living understanding of these basic rules, you will
achieve the best results with the Rainbow Reiki methods and easily
be able to adapt and develop for your own needs.
One further comment to help you understand the structure of this
book: It is quite similar to a hologram in a certain sense. What you
read in one chapter is not only useful in the next chapter, but can also
be applied to expand and deepen the methods and information of the
previous sections. I have presented some of the fundamental tech-
niques and information several times in various places in this book
since I wanted to avoid the need for you to page back and forth in
order to find the individual components of an exercise from the pre-
vious chapters. I hope this won't be too boring for you, simply skip
over the repetitions when you have become more experienced with
Rainbow Reiki. But some things may be a bit difficult for you to
understand the first time you read them. As soon as you have had
practical experience on the respective topic and have thought about
it for a while, it will become more clear to you. Since this book deals
with very advanced methods of Reiki energy work, this means:
There's a lot to learn!
I wish you an exciting and insightful time in reading this book.
May your experiences with Rainbow Reiki help you achieve self-
fulfillment and a life with all the happiness you can stand.
May the power of light and love be with you!

 CHAPTER ONE

Fundamentals
of Rainbow Reiki

As the first step into the colorful world of Rainbow Reiki, let us
build a solid foundation for the many experiences and insights that it
makes possible. I will give you a survey of the basics of Rainbow
Reiki in this chapter. This initially concerns...

The Usui System of Reiki

as the Basis for Rainbow Reiki

Rainbow Reiki is based on the traditional Usui System of Reiki.

This system of healing by the laying on of hands that is taught
through initiations and involves transmitting a special form of sub-
tle, non-polar life energy, Reiki, to be exact, was rediscovered by
Dr. Mikao Usui, a Japanese monk, in the writings of an unknown
disciple of Buddha while searching for the healing secrets of Jesus
Christ and Gautama Buddha in the library of a little Zen monastery
at the end of the 19th century. The techniques of energetic healing
and the lasting transmission of abilities necessary for this purpose to
others were precisely described here. However, the theoretical
knowledge of these methods alone wasn't enough to provide
Dr. Usui with the ability of working with them in a practical sense.
He also had to meditate and fast in a special way at a place of power
for 21 days so that he could be connected with the stream of univer-
sal life energy, known to us today as Reiki, and thereby became the
first Reiki Grand Master of the modern age. He called this method,
which he had rediscovered, the Usui System of Natural Healing and
taught it in all of Japan until about the mid-Twenties. His successor
was Dr. Chujiro Hayashi, a medical doctor, who used Reiki in his
hospitals for the healing of all types of disorders with great success.
The Usui System of Natural Healing came to the West at the end of
the Thirties through Hawayo Takata, a student of Hayashi's, who he
determined would be his successor as Grand Master. Takata was of
Japanese origin and lived as an American citizen on Hawaii. She
taught there, as well as on the American continent, in the following

13
decades. She personally trained more than twenty Reiki Masters.
When Takata died in 1980, Phyllis Lei Furumoto, who was Takata's
granddaughter, and Dr. Barbara Webber-Ray, Takata's close student
and friend, took over the office of Grand Master. The two women
had different ways of teaching and understanding Reiki, which led
to the establishment of two organizations of Reiki Masters that are
independent of each other: The Reiki Alliance (Furumoto) and the
T.R.T.A.I. (Dr. Webber-Ray). In the following years, Reiki spread
with an enormous speed throughout the entire world, and there is
probably no country today without at least one Reiki Master. Alone
in the German-language region, there are currently, as of May 1994,
about 500,000 people who have completed training in the Usui Sys-
tem of Natural Healing and more than 3,000 Reiki Masters who
teach it.
What do you absolutely have to learn in the first two degrees in
order to use the methods of Rainbow Reiki, the higher level of Reiki,
described in this book?”

Preconditions for the Practice

of Rainbow Reiki in the First Degree

You must receive four initiations from a traditionally trained Reiki

Master? within the scope of a seminar on the First Degree, in which
the channel for Rainbow Reiki that exists dormant in every person is
opened and stabilized for the entire following lifetime. Furthermore,
important automatic protective functions against the transmission of
healer diseases are established through the initiations of the First
Degree. The individual initiations should be a minimum of three
hours and a maximum of 24 hours apart in time. The belief in a
certain religion, religious community, concept of the world, or way
of life is not a prerequisite for initiation into the Reiki methods and
their application, no matter which degree is concerned. The same
naturally also applies to Rainbow Reiki. In many cases, it is wise to

* The preconditions listed in the following section are not descriptions of the minimal training
contents ofthe respective Reiki degree, but clarify instead what is absolutely necessary in order to
successfully practice the Rainbow Reiki methods described in this book. Moreover, the funda-
mental Reiki techniques, as well as the important knowledge required for their correct application
and further information is described in detail in my books The Complete Reiki Handbook, Reiki—
Way of the Heart, and Reiki for First Aid published by Lotus Light,
‘Lunderstand a traditionally trained Reiki Master to be someone who has been respectively initi-
ated into all three degrees in the direct physical line of the Grand Masters, starting with Usui,
through Hayashi, Takata, Furumoto or Webber-Ray, and the following Masters, and trained in
their correct application.

14
let three to four weeks pass after initiation into the First Degree be-
fore you learn and experience more of this. Experience has shown
that it takes a while for the sometimes intensive healing experiences
to be “digested” after becoming involved with the First Degree. In
case of doubt, pay attention to what is going on within yourself. You
will know when the time is right for you to once again make ajour-
ney of discovery.

Preconditions for the Practice

of Rainbow Reiki in the Second Degree

You must receive an initiation into the three symbols and three man-
tras of the Second Degree through a traditionally trained Reiki Mas-
ter so that these “tools” can be used within the scope of the Reiki
methods for the people concerned. Without an initiation that imparts
the power for their application, the symbols and mantras cannot be
used for mobilizing and guiding Reiki. Instead, they are simply cha-
racters like “A,B,C.” The three symbols and the corresponding man-
tras must be learned by heart so that they are available without any
difficulty. You should be familiar with, concretely practice, and be
able to use distance treatment, mental healing, and energy intensifi-
cation without any written “memory aids.”
If you have fulfilled these described preconditions in at least the
First Degree, you can immediately start with Rainbow Reiki. /n your
own interest, please don't assume that the methods depicted in this
book work in the described manner ifyou haven't completed the cor-
responding Reiki training.

According to Which Laws

Does Rainbow Reiki Function?

As in every system of energy work, there are also certain laws in the
Usui System of Reiki and in Rainbow Reiki, which represents an
expansion of the former. Here they are:

|. Reiki is a non-polar force. It is neither yin nor yang. Both hands of

a person initiated traditionally into Reiki automatically transmit the
same vibration—Reiki, to be precise. This can only be changed by
the intensively focussing attention on the conveyance of energies
other than Reiki. In this case, these other energies are transmitted in

15
addition to Reiki. The flow of the Reiki force can neither be turned
on or off through direct contact.

2. Reiki supports the living processes in everything with which it

comes in contact. To the extent that this is permitted, Reiki is drawn
in and influences the development of liveliness in a certain physical
or mental, emotional, and spiritual area. The more resistance against
the development there is, the stronger are the healing reactions that
happen. When the brakes of a car take hold, heat and friction occur
through the resistance that it offers the movement of the car. The
way in which healing reactions are more vehement if a person stub-
bornly clings to imbalanced structures 1s comparable.
Within this context, I understand healing reactions in a concrete
sense to be:
# Detoxification on physical, psychological, and subtle levels
a Restructuring and the temporary insecurity and/or weakness that
it causes
a Increased consumption of energy through frictional losses and re-
structuring.*

3. Reiki isn't a form of energy capable of directly filling out material

or energetic deficits or reducing energetic excesses.

4. Reiki is drawn in by the Inner Child/body consciousness of the

recipient. For its effect to take place, it isn't necessary that the Reiki
practitioner or Reiki recipient consciously believes in the existence
or certain effects of Rainbow Reiki.

5. The extent to which Reiki is drawn in depends on how much the

Inner Child of the Reiki recipient trusts the practitioner, the situa-
tion, and the purpose of developing a new form of behavior trig-
gered by Reiki, a new physical and mental, emotional, and spiritual
state, as well as his general need for animating impulses.

6. In order to allow Reiki to have a better effect, it is possible to:

a. Strengthened the flow of the Reiki force through the methods of
the Second Degree
b. Direct the Inner Child's attention to the area requiring treatment
by way of gentle, soothing touch according to the Metamorphic Me-
thod.°

‘Also see the corresponding specific literature on the topic of “Healing Reactions” in Appendix
Five and compare with the related sections on Chapter Seven.
* See Commented Bibliography in Appendix Five.

16
c. Build a greater feeling of security and a stronger trust in the cir-
cumstances and effects of the treatment, as well as in the Reiki prac-
titioner giving treatment
d. Remove from the body of the person being treated the energies or
substances that impede his vital processes, or positively change his
external circumstances in life, or harmonize in a manner more ad-
vantageous to his development the convictions, behavior, emotional
blocks, and thought patterns that impede his natural liveliness.
e. Directly provide the individual partial personalities like the Inner
Child or the Higher Self with Reiki and consider their views and
needs in the developmental work
f. Include the help, advice, and protection from subtle beings with
the appropriate special knowledge in the treatment
g. Stimulate processes of perceiving the sense of your own life and
the learning steps pending at the present moment.

7. Reiki offers the possibility of subtle communication with the tech-

niques of the Second Degree.

8. Reiki techniques can be used for the indirect guidance of polar

energies.

9. The applications of the last two points can be used to a great ex-
tent by developing the Reiki practitioner's personality with respect
to the ability to love, personal responsibility, and consciousness.

10. Through the direct guidance of the Reiki energy into certain ar-
eas of a being's subtle energy system or certain subtle levels, effects
can be achieved that are subject to other laws than those of the Reiki
energy.

11. The deeper the understanding and acceptance of the laws and
areas of effectiveness discussed under point 10, the more extensive
and differentiated the energy work of a Reiki practitioner can be.

12. Until the spirit is truly willing to be healed and ready for the
necessary changes, the body cannot achieve lasting health and life
cannot truly become happy. For this reason: If there is no immediate
danger, first heal the spirit.

17
 What is Healing?

Healing is a concept that summarizes a great many different ideas.

This word will be used frequently in this book, and I want to avoid
any misunderstandings. I've given a detailed description of it here so
that you won't be groping in the dark regarding my perspective of
healing.

The Three Steps of Holistic Healing

Holistic development, which I also call healing, occurs in three steps...

Step 1: Truth
The suppressed or separated material, mental and spiritual, emotio-
nal, or energetic aspect that has caused an illness, which I also call
an inhibition of development, becomes perceptible and therefore
manageable. A constructive confrontation with the underlying im-
balance becomes basically possible. Only when this is risked can the
next level within the scope of holistic healing take place.

Step 2: Love
The separated aspect is accepted emotionally, along with the new
liveliness. What was previously judged and rejected 1s now lovingly
taken to heart and therefore once again included in a person's own
life process.° A comprehensive understanding of the problem is not
unconditionally necessary for this to happen, but it frequently facili-
tates the process of learning to accept oneself, which is not exactly
easy. Only when this step has been completed can true progress be
made. This is also completely possible even if there are still fears
and insecurities, as long as these are not suppressed or denied.

Step 3: Perception
The meaning of the development process and the constructive
power of the personality aspect that was split-off or suppressed at
one time are so completely integrated that a person's own possibili-
ties for mastering life and/or for development of the self are consid-

“This makes possible the detoxification processes, as well as the supply of nutrient substances and
vibrations.

18
erably increased. One's very own path in life and the necessary
strength to follow it become more conscious, clear, and strong. Life
acquires more lightness, meaning, abundance, and joy—no matter
what its basic conditions are.

Now that I have presented my perspective of healing and the

course of a holistic healing process, I would like to explain what
I consider to be the absolutely necessary keystones of spiritual de-
velopment in greater detail. If a person is involved in a holistic proc-
ess of development, according to my experience he will develop
more extensive abilities in the three topics described below. If the
willingness to develop these three qualities is lacking, or if there is a
greater imbalance with respect to their acceptance, harmonious
growth of the personality, comprehensive physical or mental, emo-
tional, and spiritual healing is not possible.

The Three Components

of True Spiritual Development
The path to God is the path of freedom. This doesn't mean freedom
from something, but rather freedom for something that brings all of
the participants more intensely into the stream of the life force. It
helps them develop their uniqueness and contribute to the growth of
the beings in their environment. Every true spiritual development
can be recognized by these three attributes, explained in greater de-
tail in the following section. You can examine resources and aids for
the promotion of your holistic development, such as books, semi-
nars, teachings, and the like, for their suitability on the basis of these
three criteria.’

1. The Ability te Love

The ability to create unity is supported. Hatred, aversion, intoler-
ance, envy, greed, a consciousness of poverty, the helper syndrome,
jealousy, hierarchic and competition-oriented thinking, feelings of
revenge, denial of one's own needs and physical, emotional, spir-

7If you take me seriously, which means that you make an effort to create a unity (see under the
following point |) with my thouglits, you won't just simply believe me but ‘vill also examine my
opinions since I could make a mistake just like anyone else. Just because my opinion appears in print
doesn't mean it's right. See under point 2 (Consciousness) and point 3 (Personal Responsibility).

19
itual, and mental qualities are signs of separation. A person demon-
strates the development of the ability to love by increasingly recog-
nizing himself in other beings and things of the Creation, thereby
producing a higher degree of unity on the spiritual level. As a result,
he will become more satisfied with himself and the world, develop-
ing basic trust and a more harmonious ability to relate to others.

2. Consciousness
The ability to perceive more of the Creation, to differentiate this per-
ception, and understand the correlations and meaningful concurrence
of things in the world is promoted. The development of conscious-
ness is evident in the increased sensitivity and healthier powers of
discernment, an expanded understanding of other forms of lifestyles,
patience, and devotion to constructive plans that take into considera-
tion the holistic benefit of all participants. A person also supports an
intuitive understanding of transpersonal* correlations in life.

3. Personal Responsibility
Support is given to the ability of accepting more of what affects an
individual's own life as being caused on a conscious or unconscious
level, and achieving control over it. The development of personal
responsibility is shown by the development of trust in your own self
and its possibilities. The unique talents hidden within every person
become more conscious and can thereby receive more attention.
This contributes to everyone's benefit. Through the active satisfac-
tion of your own needs, your personal health will be strengthened
and you will achieve more satisfaction, success, creative power, and
self-knowledge. A well-developed sense of personal responsibility
is the indispensable precondition for the ability to set limits or get
involved in every respect.

All three points are absolutely of equal value. One quality can't
be developed without the other two. The overriding principle is
freely participating in the evolution of the Creation as the realization
of the divine will in a way that is satisfying for the individual.

“Here “transpersonal” means the viewpoint of a situation that goes beyond the moment and the
directly perceptible events and correlations. Transpersonal perception is a look behind the scenes
of life that permits greater clarity regarding the comprehensive learning processes and problem
Structures, meaningful possibilities of development, and the concealed developmental inhibi-
tions. Transpersonal insights into the events of everyday life are esoterics put into practice.

 Rainbow Reiki Principles
for Energy Work and Life Improvement

In order to establish more concrete goals for your energy work and
more easily determine the actual success of the efforts, I have estab-
lished a series of maxims for Rainbow Reiki, some of which are
based on rules for living traditionally handed down by the great spir-
itual currents like Sufism, Taoism, the teaching of Hermes Trisme-
gistos, Shamanism, Zen, and Huna, but have also been influenced in
part by my own reflections and experiences.

1. Everything can be found in every other thing and is connected

with everything else. Natural individualism doesn't result from the
lack of something or the unique existence of certain qualities, but
rather through the special emphasis of individual parts of the whole
and their unique arrangement, their unmistakable and non-repetitive
pattern.

2. Everything is brought into this world through the power of the

feminine: new beings, new ideas, energies, as well as the divine
force. Because of this, the feminine aspect in everything should be
respected, protected, and supported.’ The greatest feminine force is
that of Mother Earth. She is the greatest healer on this level of exist-
ence because the energy from the source of life can flow purely and
clearly to the sick and needy through her body in order to balance
disharmonies in the sense of the cosmic order.

3. Children should be protected from harm and supported in their

development to become loving, conscious, and responsibly acting
adults. Children are the future.

4. Don't do anything that is unnecessary. Energy and commitment

shouldn't be squandered. Do everything necessary so that life can
develop in the sense of the cosmic order and organize this as effec-
tively as possible.

°“Being able to accept,” “being open for something,” “channeling something into this world” are
typical feminine qualities. Perhaps this is why there are so many women and men who are willing
to accept their feminine aspect in the Reiki seminars. And perhaps the Reiki initiations and con-
frontation with this force very much strengthen the feminine, soft, constructive-emotional, and
intuitive parts of people who get involved with it.

21
5. The world appears to you as you are accustomed to perceiving it.
If you clear away your filters—the limiting professions of belief, the
false concepts of morality, the fears, envy, convictions of inferiority,
consciousness of poverty, and similar problems—you can increas-
ingly perceive what the true world is made of. The result will be that
you can better deal with life when you have integrated these percep-
tions into your personality.

6. A person who can let go can also accept. A person who can say
“no” can also say “yes."

7. Love expresses itself in life-affirming behavior and the joy of be-

ing together with other parts of the Creation.

8. Life energy flows towards the attention of the Inner Child/body

consciousness.

9. Without devotion, there would be no power; without service, no

ruling.

10. Anger, pain, and fear are exhortations to harmonize the life proc-
ess more closely with your own genuine needs.

11. Spirituality grows when you understand and emotionally inte-

grate practical experiences.

12. What separates makes sick. What unites heals.

13. Loving joy in life is the power that brings a person closer to God.

14. The subtle forces can't help you if you don't ask them for help.
They respect the freedom of all beings.

15. Respect and gratefulness dissolve separation and invite unity.

16. Emotional energies can only be expressed through the body.

Otherwise, new blocks or mechanisms of repression are created.

17. Music, dance, and singing that are oriented towards the vibra-
tions of the natural life forces open the hearts of people who devote
themselves to God and His helping power. If nothing helps anymore
and Reiki is not accepted by the Inner Child, this resource can still
effect a resolution of the block and support acceptance of the healing
Reiki energy.

 Responsibility—An Important Topic
in Relation to Rainbow Reiki
You will become familiar with a great many highly effective methods
of energy work in this book and, with a bit of practice, be capable of
doing things that people without Reiki experience probably think are
possible only in dreams. The Rainbow Reiki methods are meant to
heal you and others in the spiritual sense, to support the growth of the
personality, and make possible a friendly, loving cooperation with be-
ings of the subtle worlds: the devas, angels, and natural forces.
I feel it is very important that as many people as possible who are
initiated into Reiki use this significant knowledge in a meaningful
way because our world and its many different inhabitants urgently
need more support in these difficult times as the Age of Pisces fades
out and the Age of Aquarius is beginning to dawn. It would help all
of us if the Rainbow Reiki knowledge is used in a responsible man-
ner. There would be many problems if people exploit Rainbow Reiki
with egotistic motives, showing disrespect for the freedom of others,
arrogance, or a striving for power. I have thought about this a great —
deal and talked with my spiritual teachers about this topic time and
again before making the decision to write this book, which means no
longer imparting the fundamentals of Rainbow Reiki solely in direct
contact from teacher to student. The decision was ultimately mine,
and as you can see, it was “pro.” I could never have reached so many
people through seminars and lectures as through this book. And
I have the strong feeling that time is slowly running out for a suc-
cessful restructuring of our society and lifestyle in the holistic sense.
I therefore ask you to carefully examine your motives for involve-
ment with energy work in general and Rainbow Reiki in particular
time and again, acting for the holistic benefit of all participants to the
best of your ability. This effort alone is already a wonderful path of
personality training and you will also support social evolution, setting
a good example for others that will stimulate them to reflect and look
inside themselves.
It naturally isn't possible to always do the right thing since hu-
man beings sometimes do make mistakes, have a bad day, or simply
just don't know enough. Because of this, I will now give you an
opportunity to once and for all side with the active promoters of the
divine stream of life and make sure that you will receive extensive
help from the powers of love and light. For this purpose I use the
Light Vow Ritual. Take the time to read it and if you really want to do
this of your own free will, carry it out. It will give you protection,
loving care, and help that you can always rely on. It is an initiation in

23
the sense of the conscious decision to actively and lastingly support
the good forces of the universe. God only has our hands on this level
of existence, and if we decide to work together with Him for the
good of the development of his Creation, we will contribute much to
increasingly bringing his vibration back into this world and chang-
ing things for the better.

The Light Vow Ritual

Set aside a good hour of your time to do this. Fill the bathtub and
perfume the water with a few drops of sandalwood oil of a natural
origin. Take a bath, thoroughly and consciously washing yourself.
Perceive the water and the fragrance of the oil. Surrender to the re-
laxation and enjoy the pleasant warmth around you. When you wash
yourself, become aware that you are leaving the things of everyday
life behind you and removing disruptive vibrations from your aura.'°
Rinse yourself off with lukewarm water at the end. Then wrap your-
self in a comfortable bathrobe, take a blanket, and look for a room in
which you can remain undisturbed for a while. Stand with bare feet,
legs about one-and-a-half shoulder-widths apart. Lift your arms to
the heavens, bend your knees somewhat, and raise your face a bit.
Perceive the ground beneath your feet, which always securely sup-
ports you and permits the feeling that you are in unity with other
parts of the Creation. Remain with this feeling for a few breaths.
Then direct your attention to the sky above the top of your head,
from which life energies constantly flow into you in and attempt to
support your development. Also perceive the contact with these en-
ergies for a few breath cycles. Now direct your attention to the flow
of your breath. Each time you inhale, visualize the light stream of
heavenly energy that flows into you through the top of your head
and fills your body from head to foot.
Every time you exhale, let a stream of dark Earth energy flow into
you through your feet and fill you completely. Repeat this breathing
exercise slowly and consciously for at least thirty times. It balances
your body energies and helps you come into contact with your Inner
Child.'' Now stand up straight and light three candles—a light-colored

‘For this ritual to be effective, it isn't necessary for you to believe in its effectiveness. Be open for
the experience and carry it out as stated, then it will function as described.
" The Inner Child is an active part of your personality that usually is unconscious and independ-
ent from the rest of your mind in broad areas. It is responsible for feelings, active and passive
energy work, vitality, and holistic thinking. It doesn't understand the language of the analytic,
rational consciousness. Its methods of communication include rituals, sensual impressions, and
the like. You will find more on this topic in almost every chapter, particularly Chapter Four.

24
 one for your Higher Self”, a dark one for your Inner Child, and a
violet one for the conscious, rational part of your personality, your
Middle Self. Now you just need to light some sandalwood incense, the
aroma of which will relax you and foster the communication with
your Inner Child—then the concluding portion of the ritual can begin:
preparing and signing a contract with yourself and the powers of light
and love.
Take a blank piece of paper, perhaps handmade paper, in order to
also optically highlight the significance of this document. Please
write with violet ink or a pen with a violet color. When everything is
ready, put your hands on your lap for a moment, close your eyes, feel
how you are breathing, and say quietly: “I am at my center, Iam with
myself and will now enter into a new, wonderful phase of my life
through my clear and distinct decision!"
Now take the paper and pen and write:

'? Your Higher Self is also a largely independent portion of the overall personality and, among
other things, is responsible for the fulfillment of your life plan. This means you have the experi-
ences in this world and in this incarnation that you selected for yourself before your birth as
comprehensive learning themes. There will be more about this in the following chapter, particu-
larly in Chapter Four.

25
It is also wonderful to take the Light Vow in a group of like-minded
friends. This transformational ritual only needs to be done once, but
it's so beautiful that I repeat it with almost every seminar group that
I teach in aura-reading or the advanced levels of Rainbow Reiki. In
addition to the connection with the powers of light and love, it's an
effective spiritual purification method that can be carried out on spe-
cial occasions with great benefit for the progress of spiritual devel-
opment.
Now you have become a bit more familiar with the fundamentals
of Rainbow Reiki and can already start with the first practical expe-
riences.

A Little Learning Tip for You...

The exercises explained in the following chapters are some-

times a bit long. Make it easier for yourself to learn them by
reading the instructions written for them onto a cassette at a
slow tempo with the corresponding pauses. Play this when you
practice as long as you are still uncertain about it. This method
has often helped me learn longer procedures. Don't let the
technology bother you, It doesn't just have disadvantages. As
soon as you know the respective exercise by heart, then you'll
no longer need the “prompter.” If you can learn the Rainbow
Reiki methods in a group with others, let one member of the
group read the respective exercise slowly and with the pauses
while the others carry it out.

When a person is happy, he can make others happy.

If he does this, he encreases his own happiness.

(Johann Ludwig Wilhelm Gleim)

 CHAPTER TWO

Aura and Chakra Work

with Rainbow Reiki

As an introduction to practical energy work with Rainbow Reiki,

here are some methods that can be applied with the tools of the First
Degree. You can make some of them even more effective with the
help of the Second Degree techniques. When this is the case, I have
also explained the corresponding procedure.

How You Can Deal with

Healing Reactions...
Take your time in reading this chapter and then allow enough time
for each exercise in order to learn it and experience its deep effects.
Don't overdo it by trying out everything or too much at one time.
The applications presented here will in no way harm you if you carry
them out precisely as they are described here and if you aren't suffer-
ing from any serious physical, emotional, or mental illness.'? How-
ever, you can get an energy hangover or vehement healing reactions
to the development-promoting contact with Rainbow Reiki.
After every exercise, take the time to walk for half an hour and
simply be with yourself in order to ground the energies released
from the blocks and calmly integrate what might have come up.
Another possibility is having something light to eat afterwards, to
paint what you have felt, or dance to express what has moved you
and thereby constructively translate it into action. Then you can let
go of it. In no case should you start the Rainbow Reiki energy work
when you are very stressed, under pressure to produce results, or ina
hurry. Stress considerably reduces the control of the subtle abilities,
as well as reducing the flow of subtle energies.

Tf you are seriously ill, you certainly shouldn't carry out any unusual vital-energy exercises and
doctor around on yourself. Instead, have yourself attended to by a doctor who works holistically
and only use other healing methods in consultation with him until you have regained your strength
and are healthy once again!

27
If you have friends with a similar approach to life, then you can start
a Rainbow Reiki self-discovery group with them. The exercises are
particularly fun to do and much easier to learn when you're not
alone.
If headaches, dizziness, a feeling of unreality, or any other op-
pressive sensations occur during or after an exercise, as long as it
was correctly carried out this is often because of the energies that
have been released from the dissolved or fully harmonized blocks in
the person treated. They can't yet find their place since other blocks
are obstructing their path to the fields of activity appropriate for
them. You can help them become integrated into the energy structure
in the right way by treating the upper area of the soles of your client's
feet for several minutes. In difficult cases, alternately provide the
foot soles and the navel area directly with Reiki and have your part-
ner breath into the hara. This is a switching point for vital energy, not
a chakra, found about two fingers beneath the navel on the central
line of the body. After the symptoms have receded, don't forget to do
the grounding exercises mentioned above, going for a walk, danc-
ing, eating, and the like.
A further method of harmonization is the so-called “chakra bal-
ance,” a standard technique of the First Degree course. To do this,
provide the Ist and 6th chakras, then the 2nd and Sth, and finally the
3rd and 4th with Reiki, each pair for about three minutes. If you are
initiated into the Second Degree, you can also give a mental healing
with the constantly repeated suggestion of “energy balance.” If the
described reactions occur on a regular basis, the affected person
should no longer participate in energy work until he has been exam-
ined by a competent doctor who uses holistic methods in order to
clarify the causes of the overreaction.

How You as a Practitioner

Can Deal with Imbalances
That You Take On from Your Clients
As a practitioner, you should thoroughly wash your hands with soap,
up to above the wrists, before and after each session of energy work.
Both you and the person to be treated should remove all watches,
rings, and chains before the exercise. If you have taken symptoms of
disruptive energy patterns into your aura from a client, shower thor-
oughly, using lukewarm water for some of the time. If you frequent-
ly take on other people's symptoms, clarify why you want to suffer
and change this into the lasting wish of wanting to feel well. This

28
conviction will take some time in order to be completely integrated
into the personality and represents a large step in your development.
Practice setting better limits on the emotional level and find out why
you haven't wanted to do this up to now. Strengthen yourself by
clearly reducing your stress level, eating healthier foods, getting
enough sleep, establishing a more regular rhythm in life for yourself,
doing more fitness sports (in no case should these be performance-
oriented!), and satisfying your other physical needs. In addition,
strengthen your Ist, 3rd, and 5th chakras with Reiki and the appro-
priate healing stones and make sure that you become more stable
emotionally. Give some thought to how you can put the spiritual
principle of “personal responsibility” into practice.
Because of the Reiki initiations, there is no way that imbalances
outside energies can get into your own inner energy system during a
treatment situation, entrench themselves and cause the so-called
healer diseases. This is one of Reiki's very great advantages. How-
ever, the perception of outside energies continues as before and can
be very irritating if you don't make sure that the vibrational pattern
causing this disappears from your aura (the outer energy system re-
sponsible for communication with others) or that you no longer hold
onto it. Everything that promotes the natural flow of the aura from
the inside to the outside, strengthening and stabilizing its structure
through personal growth, will help you better cope with coming into
contact with imbalanced energies.
The rules discussed in this section correspondingly apply to the
entire book and are basically valid for every type of Reiki energy
work. So let's get down to the practice!

Exercise I:
Chakra development with the Reiki Powerball
I came across the Reiki powerball technique while searching for a
more simple, intensive, yet still gentle method of chakra work that
can also reach and harmonize the deeper levels of an energy center.
Other methods have a hard time going beyond the relatively superfi-
cial areas of a chakra in their effects and temporarily create a fair
amount of disorder in the process or they can only be successfully
applied by people who have a great deal of experience. The Reiki
powerball technique has proved itself to be quite successful up to
now. Even extensive blocks are usually not an obstacle for it. And if
you simply want to have more “power” for yourself, for example,
after work or training or any other energy-eaters, the Reiki power-
ball is practically unbeatable. Oh, yes—if you want to do something
good for your plants or healing stones, you can also try out this tech-

29
nique on them. If you need a compress that is intensively charged
with Reiki for bruises, headache, stomachache, nausea, or wounds,
then use the Reiki powerball technique to impregnate a handker-
chief, bandage, or the like. Water, oils, and ointments can also be
charged strongly in a simple and quick manner. You will quickly
discover many other applications yourself if you experiment with
the Reiki powerball.

Step 1: Creating the Reiki Powerball

Before the powerball can develop its effect on other people and ob-
jects, you must first create it. To do this, hold your hands, palms
facing each other, about 20 to 30 centimeters apart at the level of
your heart and about 30 centimeters from your body. Wait a moment
and feel your way into the energy that increasingly collects between
your hands. Now gently move them back and forth, like grass sway-
ing in the wind. Change the distance between them somewhat while
you do this. First in one direction, then the other. Feel how the power
continues to grow. Feel the resistance of the Reiki powerball when
you move your hands a bit closer to each other. Perceive how your
hands are gently held back by the energy when you slowly pull them
away from each other. During the entire exercise, be sure that the

The Reiki Powerball—a new form of chakra therapy

30
palms of your hands always remain facing each other, that they don't
touch each other, but also that there is no more than a distance of
about 40 centimeters between them.

Step 2: Application of the Reiki Powerball

Variation A:
Continue to hold your hands with the insides turned towards each
other, about 20 to 30 centimeters apart from each other. In this posi-
tion, move them to a distance of about 30 centimeters from each other
in front of one of your exercise partner's six lower major chakras."
Now blow gently and constantly through your hands to the corre-
sponding chakra until you have exhaled completely. Repeat this proc-
ess—the blowing—at least two more times. If you haven't had much
experience with this exercise and/or the way your exercise partner
reacts to it, then don't blow more than six or seven times. While doing
this, direct your attention to the energy that you move through the
power of your breath and the effect it has in the chakra to which you
are directing it. After each time you blow the energy into the chakra,
ask your partner about his perceptions. If some sort of strong imbal-
ance becomes perceptible and doesn't disappear on its own after a few
minutes, help him ground himself by carrying out some of the exer-
cises described at the beginning of the chapter with him.

Variation B:
Slowly move the Reiki powerball as close as possible to exercise ©
partner's corresponding chakra by guiding your hands in this direc-
tion. During the first attempts with this method, don't establish the
contact for more than about 30 seconds. Ask your partner to keep
you informed about his perceptions. If necessary, ground him. You
can also use the Reiki powerball by putting your hands on the appro-
priate spot, approaching it from the narrow side of the body. Then
move the energy ball into the body by holding one hand on the front
of the body and the other on the back of your partner's body. The
insides of the hands must naturally face each other the whole time.
Moving the hands gently back-and-forth is helpful in maintaining
the powerball.

'4 You should only work with the 7th chakra, the crown energy center, when you have had enough
experience in dealing with energy work in general and this exercise in particular. Otherwise, it
could be too intensive when larger blocks obstruct the released energy from flowing out of the
head area, creating an imbalance by the one-sided, non-grounded dissolution of subtle conges-
tion. By the way, it isn't really necessary to work with the 7th chakra since its condition results
from the functioning of the lower 6 major chakras. If they are in good shape, then the crown
chakra will also be in order. Things don't work quite as easily in the opposite direction.

31
Please note: If you move your hands apart at some point in order to
do something else with them, for example, to treat your client's feet
or do chakra balancing, you have to recreate the Reiki powerball
each time before you can work with it again!

The effect of this exercise: A large amount of concentrated Reiki

energy collects between your hands as a result of this exercise. The
breath has a special quality that strongly supports the impact and
reception of subtle energies in the human energy system, particu-
larly in the chakras. The chakra provided with Reiki in this manner
can more easily free itself of blocks that impede its natural function
and more quickly balance a possible charging deficit or release an
excess of energy. Most people feel refreshed, strengthened, cente-
red, and more relaxed after a treatment with the Reiki powerball.

Exercise II:
Opening chakras to make deeper-reaching developmental
work possible—Closing chakras to protect the growth
process from disruptive outside influences

In order for every type of chakra work with Reiki to have an even
better, more lasting, and more gentle effect, the respective energy
center can be opened before an application. When this has been
done, it is absolutely necessary to close the chakra once again.
Within this context, the “opening” of a chakra doesn't mean an ex-
pansion of its function in a qualitative or quantitative sense, but
solely the creation of an intensified state of acceptance for outside
influences of all types. “Closing” also doesn't mean a qualitative or
quantitative limitation, but rather solely creating a state of natural
protection from every type of disruptive outside influence, which in
no way impedes the normal communication of the energy center.
Instead, it makes this and the chakra's healthy functioning possible
in the first place.

How to Open a Chakra

Step 1: Establish contact with the respective energy center by con-

centrating your attention on it and holding one hand—it doesn't mat-
ter which—about 10 to 15 centimeters above it, with the palm turned
towards the chakra. You will feel an intensified flow, a sensation of
“being drawn towards” it, more warmth, a feeling of familiarity, or
perhaps even a pulsation when the connection between your hands
and the structure of the chakra has been established.

32
Step 2: Slowly, consciously, and gently move your hand counter-
clockwise in three circles above the chakra. At the same time, for-
mulate the wish for it to open and imagine, for example, a blossom
that unfolds a bit more with each circular movement of your hand
and is completely open when the third circle has been completed.
Feel the change in the vibration of the energy center.

Step 3: Charge the energy center by holding one or both hands above
it, Moving in a slight horizontal and vertical direction, as if swinging
in the wind. If you are initiated into the Second Degree, use the sign
for energy intensification and the corresponding mantra to amplify
the flow of the Reiki power. Further possibilities of energy work can
naturally also be used within this step. For example, gemstones (pu-
rify beforehand!) can be put on the chakra or chakra oils massaged
into it. In any case, always be very gentle with a chakra in an opened
state. If the session is interrupted for any reason, always carefully
close each opened energy center before doing anything else!

How to Close a Chakra

Step 1: As explained in Step 1 for opening a chakra.

Step 2: Slowly, consciously, and gently move your hand that is in

contact with the energy center clockwise in three complete circles
above the chakra. At the same time, formulate the wish in your mind
for it to close and create a blossom in front of your inner eye that
closes more and more until it is completely closed when your hand
has completed the third circle. Then give the chakra a moment of
Reiki. If necessary, ground your client's energies by giving Reiki to
the soles of his feet. When doing so, instruct him to breath calmly
and evenly into his lower belly.
After a session in which you have worked with a chakra in an
open state, it is highly recommended that the person treated take a
nap of 15 to 20 minutes!

Exercise III:
“Twisting out” energy blocks and
what to observe when you do this

When you attune yourself very much to a client during intensive

aura or chakra work, it can happen that you notice energetic blocks
on the surface of an energy center or in the energy field around the
body. It may be a type of shadow or a zone in which your hands are

33
restrained in their movement, where things are “tough” somehow.
You can dissolve this congested energy through the following tech-
nique and thereby help the body make space for a lively flow of the
forces.

Step 1: Stretch out one hand and hold it so that the fingertips are in
the area of the blocked energy. Wait a moment and attune to it by
simply at the same time keeping your attention on the congestion and
your hand. Then move your hand, first slowly and then increasingly
quickly, clockwise, and about 5O centimeters away from your client.
Shake off the energy into the Earth, which will integrate it into the
natural flow of the forces. Repeat this process until you no longer
perceive any congestion in this part of the energy field. Then hold
both your hands over this area for about one or two minutes with the
palms facing your partner.
If you are initiated into the Second Degree, repeatedly use the
intensification symbol and corresponding mantra. Slightly move
your hands back and forth in a horizontal and vertical direction, as if
they were dancing in the wind. This causes the energy field to be
charged and stabilized at the point where the block was and where an
amount of energy, which is often considerable, has been directed out
of it. If you don't recharge this area with fresh vibrations, new imbal-
ances could easily arise and outside energies enter, entrench them-
selves, and have negative effects on the respective person. At the end
ofa session, your client should carry out the following little exercise,
which also functions when a person hasn't been initiated into a Reiki
degree: Put the right hand on the heart chakra and the left hand on the
solar plexus chakra. Pay attention to what's going on inside for a
moment. Then say out loud: “I thank the energies that have left me
for their participation in my life process and wish for them to go
where they bring blessings.” Once again pay attention to what is
happening inside, and then remove the hands from the energy center.
If this exercise is carried out in a serious manner, new blocks won't
take the place of the old ones that have been directed away from it.
If more than three blocks have been twisted out during a session,
about three minutes of Reiki should be given to the heart chakra and
solar plexus chakra at the end of the treatment. Also treat the soles of
the feet.
 Exercise IV:
Systematic aura massage with Reiki

Step I: Clearing the aura

The client stretches out on his back. He shouldn't cross his legs. In-
stead, spread them a bit. The arms lie relaxed next to the body, with
some distance between. The practitioner now holds his hand over
the heart chakra and the hara at a distance of about 10 to 15 centi-
meters from the client's body'®, closes his eyes, and directs his atten-
tion to what's going on inside the other person.
This part of the technique results in an adaptation of both people's
aura-field vibrations, which enormously facilitates effective,
smooth energy work of any type. After several minutes or when the
practitioner feels a sort of acceptance or resonance with the other
person, he changes his hands (still without making any direct physi-
cal contact with the client's body) over to two positions to the right
and left of the center of the body, directly under the collarbone and
above the breasts. To intensify the effect, your hands can gently
move a bit in the horizontal and vertical directions, as you learned in
the first exercise for the Reiki powerball.
After about five minutes, the hands are placed above the top of
the head. First sense this area for a moment, then do gentle, stroking
movements on one arm down beyond the hand and then on the other
arm in the same manner. If the practitioner's hands are then led back
to the top of the head, a distance of about 50 centimeters should be
maintained from the body. When stroking downwards, go back to a
distance of about 10 to 15 centimeters. Stroke through the energy
field of each arm five to ten times in this way. This portion of the
exercise clears the client's aura and promotes the effectiveness of
any treatment that follows. The ability of the hands for subtle per-
ception can also be intensified in this way.
Now place the hands above the top of the head and stroke just to
the right and left of the body's midline'®, down to around the respec-
tive middle of both thighs. Repeat this five to ten times. Then posi-
tion the hands to the right and left above each hipbone and calmly
feel the vibrations there for a moment. In closing, smooth out each
leg from this point to distinctly beyond the foot. When bringing the
hands back to the starting position above the hipbones, be sure to
maintain a distance of about 50 centimeters in order to not disturb
the flow of the aura.
'S Maintain this distance of the practitioner's hands to the client's body for the entire session. No
body contact takes place during this exercise.
'© By midline of the body I mean the straight line existing between the tip of the nose and the
navel, as well as its extension upwards and downwards.

35
After the aura has been thoroughly cleared and stabilized in this man-
ner, three important energy centers are activated in order to give the
harmonious state of the aura fields a greater stability. To do this, the
middle finger of one hand, it doesn't matter which hand since the same
type of energy, namely Reiki, flows in both of them, should at first
carefully and slowly approach the 6th chakra and hold still about one
finger above it for a moment, then pull away just as carefully and
slowly. Next, repeat the same process at the heart chakra and then the
2nd chakra. Afterwards, treat the soles of the feet for about 5 minutes
if this step is used without the following step.
All your movements should take place in a very calm, conscious,
and careful manner. If no further energy work is to be done, the cli-
ent should rest for at least 15 minutes after completion of this exer-
cise. Important restructuring of the energy system takes place during
this time if the body and mind are not immediately burdened with
demands. Even alone, this first step of the entire exercise is a highly
effective technique of aura work and can be meaningfully applied on
its own without any further measures.

Step 2: Dynamization of the aura

This step should only take place after the first step, explained di-
rectly above. Otherwise, the technique won't have a reliable effect!
Once again, as in the entire process, a distance of 10 to 15 centi-
meters away from the body is maintained and the work is done in a
calm, conscious, and careful manner.
The practitioner positions his hands just below the client's feet
for a moment. During this time, feel your way into the flow of en-
ergy there. Then, with strokes of about 20 centimeters, first stroke
over one leg, then the other, up to the area of the navel. Each leg
should receive this treatment no more than three times. Be sure to
maintain a distance of about 50 centimeters from the surface of the
body when moving the hands back to their starting position.
When this portion of the exercise has been completed, hold the
hands above the lower belly for a time and feel the energy there.
From here, stroke just right and left of the body midline up to the
chest. Again hold the hands above the heart area and perceive the
energy there. Continue to stroke upwards, first over the one shoulder
and the arm down to the hand (but not beyond it), and then do the
same for the other shoulder and hand. Move the hands back to the
heart chakra, feel the energy there for a moment, and then end the
exercise by gently stroking up to the hairline.
A rest of 15 minutes is also recommended afterwards here.
This exercise brings “fresh wind” into the aura, intensively charg-
ing it with the healing Earth energy and Reiki. The channels respon-

36
sible for the direction of the Earth forces into a person's center are
purified and stabilized.

Exercise V:
Simple, channeled Reiki-aura/chakra work
The practitioner places his hands over the client's heart chakra, with
the palms turned towards the latter, about 10 to 15 centimeters above
the client's body. The practitioner's arms must remain relaxed and free
while doing this. After some time, the arms begin to move on their
own. They will swing back and forth, more or less in large circles,
ellipses, and lines. The practitioner shouldn't consciously cause or try
to control these movements! Simply let it happen and follow the arms
and hands with your body if they want to go to areas of the client's
body that are far removed from the starting area. Vertical movements
are also possible. The treatment is complete when your arms stop
moving. Afterwards, the hands should be held still above the 3rd and
4th chakras at a distance of about 10 to 15 centimeters for at least three
minutes. Then slowly move the hands away from this point. If the
treatment must be interrupted for any reason whatsoever before the
arms stop moving on their own, the soles of the client's feet must be
provided with Reiki for about three additional minutes.
A rest of at least 15 minutes is recommended afterwards.
This exercise is based on the abilities of the Inner Child to di-
rectly perceive and control subtle flows of energy. The Inner Child is
present in every human being, usually as a subconscious portion of
the personality. You will learn more about its attributes and abilities
in the following chapters, particularly in the fourth. The Inner Child
is practically a specialist for energy work. But it can only become
active when the conscious, rationally working personality portion
can bring itself to give up control for a time. Then phenomena occur,
such as those described in this exercise, which can be put to mean-
ingful use. In the process, the Inner Child disentangles the blocked
energies in the fields of the aura and helps reestablish their natural
flow. The rational mind could never do this in such a differentiated
way like the Inner Child since the latter moves within its own world
while doing so and immediately translates its subtle perceptions into
active energy work, without the censorship of the intellectual appa-
ratus (which is ponderous in this respect). Try out this type of aura
work. You will learn to love it because of its elegance and effective-
ness. At the same time, you will achieve increasingly good contact
with your Inner Child the more you work with it.

ey!
 Exercise VI:
Direct cooperation with the Inner Child and Higher Self
to make aura and chakra energy work more intensive

This exercise will be something special for you if you've been initi-
ated into the Second Degree. The last exercise described above can
even be improved if, before beginning, you create a type of “stand-
ing line” to your Inner Child and your Higher Self through the dis-
tance contact as per the Second Degree. This is how it goes:
Use the symbol for distance treatment and the symbol for energy
intensification, as well as the corresponding mantras. Turn your
hands away from yourself and assume that your Inner Child will be
somewhere around where they are directed. Don't try to somehow
imagine it for yourself! Say out loud, or in your thoughts, three
times: “Inner Child of (add your first and last name).”’ Use the inten-
sification symbol and the corresponding mantra a few more times in
order to intensify the flow of Reiki. If an image shows up on its own,
that's all right. But it isn't important for the success of this exercise.
Repeat the same process, but this time after the initial use of the
necessary symbols and mantras, direct the flow of the Reiki energy
by saying out loud, or thinking, three times: “Higher Self of (add
your first and last name).” Also intensify the flow of energy several
times here. In any case, don't try to imagine your Higher Self while
you do this. If it shows itself in one form or another, this is fine. But
it isn't necessary for the success of this exercise.
Then request that your Inner Child and your Higher Self partici-
pate in the following aura/chakra work. Always treat these two por-
tions of the personality with respect and attention! Wait another
moment, and then proceed as described in Exercise V. When you
have completely finished the treatment, always take leave from any
distance contact in the same way you learned in the basic Second
Degree course and carefully end it.
Before you carry out the exercise explained in this section, estab-
lish contact with your Inner Child and your Higher Self individually
several times for 2 to 3 minutes in order to get used to them. At the
beginning, you shouldn't do this more often than two or three times a
week. If you manage well with it, then establish contact with them as
often and for as long as you like. Now you can also cooperate with
them in the aura/chakra work.

 CHAPTER THREE

Rainbow Reiki Mandalas

Healing Patterns
That Help Bring Light
and Love to the Earth

Rainbow Reiki Mandalas are a new method for creating a lasting

effect through the unique combination of high-intensity and high-
quality vibrations that harmonize material and subtle energetic ele-
ments. Rainbow Reiki Mandalas function like converging lens for
spiritual energy streams of all types. The possibilities for their appli-
cation are almost limitless. With them, you can create personal
places of power, make healing water, engage in many different types
of energy work, purify rooms and give them a lasting pleasant at-
mosphere that supports relaxing, healing, learning, or sensuality, for
example. Your garden or other places in nature can become more
inviting for subtle helping forces through such patterns. The aura of
special mandalas can make it clear to pests that they are not needed,
help plants to grow better, assist in reducing environmental damage
by the activating the natural purifying powers and contributing to
the harmonization of the Earth. Even the act of setting up a Rainbow
Reiki Mandala is a meditative process for the person who does it,
enormously increasing and clarifying the vibrations of his energy
body for at least some amount of time.

The Story of the Rainbow Reiki

Mandala Method's Origin

While searching for ways of permitting healing subtle powers to

have an effect without the necessity of a person's constant presence,
I found something in old Druid writings about working together
with nature beings through patterns of plants parts and healing
stones that are made according to a certain ritual. Unfortunately, for
an inexperienced person the preparation for this method was very
lengthy and it wasn't possible to make anything with a meaningful

39
effect from the given materials except for a work of art that was nice
to look at. Yet, after a number of experiments I found this way of
approaching the forces of the spiritual level to be so wonderful and
effective that I swore I would find a feasible way, at least for every
person who has been initiated into the First Reiki Degree, to use the
healing patterns.
Through a teacher, I learned an ancient power song from the Po-
lynesian region that has a very useful effect in a simple manner: it
invites the creative forces to participate in whatever is being done at
the particular moment. I tried out this mantra in chakra energy work,
room purifications, and for charging water and healing stones. It had
a fantastic effect, and many of my students now work with it in the
meantime. I combined this song with the possibilities of the First
Degree and my shamanistic knowledge. First I carefully tried out
this new way of making patterns, which can bring subtle forces into
our world, alone and then together with my advanced students. It
worked beautifully! This was the birth of the Rainbow Reiki Man-
dala method, making the old knowledge of the wise Druids available
once again to many people. I wish you much enjoyment in trying it
out!

Hey Loa, Key Loa, Manaho Lo

An Old Healing Song
and Its Various Effects
First, it is necessary for you to become familiar with the healing
song mentioned above. You should be able to sing it, both lyrics and
melody, by heart.

hey - la- @ key - lo- @ ma - na - ho Io

When you have learned the song, you can start working with the
Rainbow Reiki Mandalas. These patterns can basically be created
with plants parts, rocks, or crystals.

40
 Rainbow Reiki Plants Mandalas
Step 1: Exactly define, at best in writing, the purpose for which you
want to lay a Rainbow Reiki mandala.

Step 2: Go to a forest, park, a familiar power place'’, or your yard.

Take some time to feel what is taking place there and the flows of
energy at this spot. Touch the Earth for several minutes with the
palms of your hands and give it Reiki. Give yourself Reiki for about
five minutes and sing this song for the subtle helper forces of this
place at least nine times while doing so: “Hey loa, key loa, manaho
lo.” It doesn't hurt to do it even more often and is beneficial for you
and the beings of nature. Afterwards, remain in this position and
request that the natural forces accept, protect, and guide you. Ex-

plain what you plan to do—for example, that you would like to have
a pattern for general healing purposes or one to help your child sleep
better and overcome his fears, or one to harmonize certain Earth rays
(please think of the place where these occur when doing this) so that
they know what they can do for you. In exchange for their help, offer
them Reiki and the song (see below).
Then let yourself intuitively be guided, without thinking about it,
to the appropriate plant parts (and sometimes complementary stones
and feathers) that the guardians of this place consider suitable for the
Rainbow Reiki Mandala. Give each object Reiki for some time be-
fore you pick it up and sing the “Hey loa, key loa...” song at least
nine times while you do this. Offer thanks for what has been given to
you, carefully pick up the object, and stow it in a bag that you use
only for collecting power objects for Rainbow Reiki Mandalas. You
should either buy this bag new or make it yourself. It must be made
of natural materials. Before you use it for the first time, give it Reiki
for at least 10 minutes in order to purify it and bring it into contact
with the universal flow of energy by singing the “Hey loa, key loa...”
song in order to consecrate it. Take only plant parts that are no longer
on living plants! Don't tear or cut anything off of a living plant!
When you have collected everything, take leave of the forces of na-
ture and your subtle helpers, thank them once again, put your hands
on the Earth for a while and give it Reiki. End this part of the work
by letting Reiki flow to your heart and your solar plexus for about
five minutes. If you feel like it, sing the healing song for the nature
beings a few times.

Step 3: Go to the place where you would like to lay out the Rainbow
Reiki Mandala. Be sure that you are undisturbed there, and attune
yourself to it for a few minutes. At the same time, give yourself Rei-
ki on your heart and forehead chakra. Then spread out all the objects
next to you, give them Reiki for a moment, and feel your way into
the vibrations that they are sending out. Think about your plans, ask
the powers of light and love for guidance, and carefully pick up all
the pieces. Hold them in both hands in front of your heart, give them
Reiki, and look at them as if they were a person you love. While
doing so, sing the mantra “Hey loa, key loa...” nine times. Then hold
the objects up to the heavens, look at them with a loving gaze, and
also sing the mantra nine times here and give them Reiki. Pause for
a moment and perceive the strong, clear power now emanating from
the consecrated pieces. Start to sing the song again and continue
until the ritual is finished. One after the other, carefully put each
object onto the spot where you want to create the mandala. Put each
down one after the other so that they are right in the way they lay on

42
or next to each other. Be sure that the distances between them and
the angles are correct. You will feel it when everything is right. Per-
ceive how the vibrations become stronger with every piece you lay
down. Trust the guidance by the powers of light and love and don't
let your intellect get involved. It can't help you with this type of
work, it can't even really understand it.
When you have laid down everything, wait for a moment, put
both hands on the area of your heart, and thank the powers of light
and love. Feel the power of the Rainbow Reiki Mandala, which is
now fully capable of functioning. Now it is working and ready to
help and to heal.

Step 4: When you want to undo the pattern, proceed as follows:

Attune yourself with the Rainbow Reiki Mandala for a moment
by putting one hand on your forehead and the other on your heart,
looking at it, and opening yourself for its power. Thank it for its
services, bow to it, and carefully pick up every object. When you
have them all in your hands, thank the powers of light and love and
the heavens and the Earth for their support. Stow everything away
carefully in the bag prepared for this purpose.
In contrast to the crystal patterns described later, the plant pat-
terns are not suitable for being collected after the work has been
done. Use them for purposes in which they can remain unchanged in
one place for a longer period of time. Otherwise, they will easily fall
apart. If you would like to give them more stability, press them into
wet clay in order to fix them in place and then let it dry in the air. You
can naturally also do this with Rainbow Reiki Crystal Mandalas, for
example, when they are to be worn as an amulet or when you want to
move them from one place to another in a single piece.
Whether you lay out plant patterns or crystal patterns for a cer-
tain purpose is up to your personal taste. When in doubt, let yourself
be advised by an old power place.'* They have also taught me much
about such work.

Rainbow Reiki Crystal Mandalas

You can also lay Rainbow Reiki Mandalas with all types of healing
stones and crystals. You can actually use any stone for this purpose.
If you are knowledgeable about the effects of various types of heal-
ing stones, choose those suitable for your respective plans. The
Rainbow Reiki Mandala method will qualitatively expand its spe-

'8 Compare with Chapter Five.

43
cific powers and intensify them greatly. Stones tumbled into a round
form, called hand stones, are most suitable. They don't need to be
any larger than the size of a cherry for the applications explained in
this chapter in order to move enormous subtle energies. However, to
give the effect of a Rainbow Reiki Mandala a special orientation, it
is considerably more important to clearly define the exact purpose in
the ritual of making the mandala than to find the appropriate type of
stone for it. So don't worry if therapy with healing stones isn't ex-
actly one of your areas of knowledge. If you would like to become
more informed in this respect, look at the books listed in the Com-
mented Bibliography.
The procedure for building a crystal mandala is basically similar
to the creation of a plant pattern. For this reason, I will only describe
the respective step in the process explained above when there is
some sort of deviation from it.

Step 1: Proceed as under Step 1 in the instructions for building plant

patterns.

Step 2: Choose at least three stones for the pattern. Hold each of
them in your hand for a moment. Greet it, explain what you plan to
do with it, and ask if it wants to participate. If you receive a sign of
rejection, respect it. The mineral beings usually enjoy being in a
mandala and moving energies. But sometimes they don't. Maybe

Sitting in a Rainbow Reiki Healing-Stone Mandala is like being in an energy bath

44
they need peace and quiet, purification, some sunlight, or want to
first get to know you better and spend some time close to you before
they get more deeply involved. Respect this.
The maximum number of stones you can use for a pattern is
theoretically unlimited. However, you should be careful with
mandalas made of more than 11 individual stones. Rainbow Reiki
patterns will objectively never cause you harm, but their power can
be so strong that you walk around as if you were in a trance when
close to them. Large patterns of more than 11 stones develop an
enormous vibrational field that can have a very intensive effect
within a radius of 20 meters or more. Think of your neighbors and
possible fellow residents, as well as living areas where you perhaps
prefer not to experience a certain effect from a pattern. Then you
should build a smaller one.
I usually use from a minimum of three to a maximum of nine
stones in my work. This is more than enough for most tasks. Various
types of stones can be combined very well, but I wouldn't bring to-
gether more than four different types in one mandala. The variety of
vibrational qualities may otherwise be rather confusing for you if
you aren't used to dealing with strong subtle energies on an ad-
vanced level.

Step 3: Go to the place where you would like to lay out the Rainbow
Reiki Mandala. Be sure that you are undisturbed there, and attune
yourself to it for a few minutes. At the same time, give yourself
Reiki on your heart and forehead chakra. Then spread out all the
stones next to you, give them Reiki for a moment, and then feel your
way into the vibrations that they are sending out. Think about your
plans, then ask the powers of light and love for guidance and care-
fully pick up all the pieces. Hold them in both hands in front of your
heart, give them Reiki and look at them as if they were a person you
love. While doing so, sing the mantra “Hey lod, key loa...” nine
times. Then hold the stones up to the heavens, look at them with a
loving gaze, and also sing the mantra nine times here and give them
Reiki. Pause for a moment and perceive the strong, clear power now
emanating from the consecrated pieces. Start to sing the song again
and continue until the ritual is finished. One after the other, carefully
put each object onto the spot where you want to create the mandala.
Put down one after the other so that a clear, balanced geometry is
created. This is important because of the crystalline structure of the
stones, which is very different from that of plants. For example,
when you work with three stones, lay out an even-sided triangle. If
there are four, lay out a square, and so forth. There are deviations
from this principle only in mandalas that are laid out for the direct

45
healing of energy centers (chakras). You will find more information
about this in the next section.
When you have laid down everything, wait for a moment, put
both your hands on the area of your heart, and thank the powers of
light and love. Feel the power of the Rainbow Reiki Mandala, which
is now fully capable of functioning. Now it is working and ready to
do its job.

Step 4: Proceed as under Step 4 in the instructions for building plant

patterns.

The Rainbow Reiki Crystal Mandala for natural grounding

46
 The Four Main
Chakra Healing Mandalas
There are four special patterns for purifying, stabilizing, and charg-
ing the human energy body. These can be laid out according to the
same principle as described above, but with specially chosen stones
and a geometry suitable for this respective purpose.

The Crystal Healing Mandala for Grounding

With this pattern, the energetic structures of the first two chakras in
particular are normalized and, when this has taken place, the devel-
opment of their individual functions, as well as their mutual coop-
eration, is promoted. It can also be generally used for the stimulation
of this energy center in order to prevent imbalances and foster the
willingness for further development. If these two chakras function
well, a person has the power, endurance, and emotional motivation
to make something out of his life. He can better assert himself. ac-
cept his body, create playful encounters with others, and enjoy his
life in a sensual way. The upper chakras depend on the lower ones
for their supply of energy and can only improve their ability to work
to the extent that their power is made available to them from below.
This is also a reason for the saying: “A happy body is the foundation
of spiritual development."
In contrast to the other methods of activating the lower
chakras, this healing crystal pattern has the advantage of automati-
cally promoting a natural integration of the increased power into
the rest of the energy system by providing controlling information
for cross-linking the forces in the body. This prevents one-sided
growth.
Despite this, to be on the safe side you should be sure that you
don't work with this pattern more often than twice a week with a
maximum of 15 minutes at a time. After each session, the soles of
the feet should be given Reiki for a few minutes. Hara breathing is
also recommended. When you have gathered more experience with
this type of energy work, you will be able to judge for yourself what
can be tolerated at which point in time and what could bring too
much healing at once.
For this pattern, use three tumbled crystal quartz stones in the
maximum size of a cherry or a walnut. Activate the crystals as de-
scribed above. As shown in the illustration on the adjacent page,
calmly, consciously, and lovingly lay them on your body or your

exercise partner's body one after the other at a distance of one small
handbreadth to the right and left of the navel and about one hand-
breadth below the crotch.

The Crystal Healing Mandala

for Strengthening the Ability to Have Relationships

With this pattern, the 3rd and 4th chakras are purified, stabilized,
and strongly charged. This is a precondition for working through
fears, creating stronger self-respect, and developing a feeling for the
self, as well as supporting the ability to have relationships with oth-
ers; for love, empathy, tolerance, and being capable of forgiveness.
Use five tumbled rose quartz stones for this pattern in the ap-
proximate size of a cherry or walnut. Activate them as described
above and lay them out as shown in the adjacent illustration: on a.
the heart chakra, b. and c. vertically below the nipples on the level of
the solar plexus, and d. and e. to the left and right of the navel, each
about one handbreadth from it.
At first, this Rainbow Reiki Mandala should also not be used for
more than twice a week and 15 minutes at a time. At its conclusion,
again give Reiki to the soles of the feet and have the person receiv-
ing treatment breathe into the hara.

The Crystal Healing Mandala

for Strengthening Spirituality

With this pattern, the 5th and 6th chakras can be cleared, stabilized,
and developed. This results in a growth of self-expression, creativ-
ity, intuition, and the certainty of doing the respective right thing for
all those involved. The powers of subtle perception are expanded
and refined. It is also well-suited for all difficulties that result from
too much inner chaos. If a person simply doesn't know how he
should plan his life for the long-term and can't find his own path
although he generally likes being in this world and participating in
its activities, this mandala can help him. It is also recommended for
people who want to develop their artistic abilities. Remember to
support the harmonious effects of this pattern through complemen-
tary work on the lower four energy centers. You know the simple
methods from your First Degree course and there are enough ad-
vanced ones in this and other books of mine.
All four main Rainbow Reiki Crystal Healing Mandalas strengthen
not only the respective chakras, but also provide controlling information

49
 Mh i

for the newly activated energies. Despite this, they still can't take on
everything alone. This would also contradict the spiritual principle of
responsibility for oneself. The person who has been given treatment
should always also contribute to a more balanced functioning of his
major chakras by not living in a one-sided manner.’ For this pattern, use
seven amethysts in the size of about a cherry to a maximum size of a
walnut. Activate them as described above and lay them, as shown in the
adjacent illustration, a. one handbreadth above the top of the head, b.
and c. respectively one handbreadth next to each ear, d. on the throat
chakra, e. on the 6th chakra, and f. and g. respectively to the left and
right in the hollow directly below the collarbone.
As in the other patterns, this Rainbow Reiki Mandala should not
be used more than twice a week for 15 minutes at a time at the start.
At its conclusion, once again give Reiki to the soles of the feet for a
time and have the person being treated breathe into the hara.

The Rainbow Reiki Crystal Healing Mandala

for Strengthening the Entire Energy System

This pattern is a unique possibility for finely tuning all components

of the subtle energy system and strengthening them in relation to
each other. After such a session, the aura is frequently five to six
times as large and strong as before. It reduces stress and promotes
inner harmony. Yet, this mandala is not a substitute for the other
three. It cannot penetrate as deeply into the individual energy centers
as they can, being responsible instead for their cooperation and the
attunement of the aura fields.
For this purpose, use three rose quartz stones, three amethysts,
and three crystal quartz stones, making a total of nine stones with the
same size, as in the previously described patterns. Activate them as
described above. As in the picture on the adjacent page, lay them out
as follows: a. one handbreadth above the top of the head (amethyst),
b. on the 6th chakra (amethyst), c. on the heart center (amethyst), d.
and e. respectively one handbreadth next to the shoulders (rose
quartz), f. on the heart chakra (rose quartz), g. and h. respectively on
handbreadth next to the pelvis (crystal quartz), and i. (crystal quartz)
about one handbreadth below the feet in the middle between them.
At first, don't use this pattern more than once a week for about
15 minutes. At its conclusion, once again give Reiki to the soles of the
feet for some time and have the person treated breathe into the hara.

 The effects of all four patterns are very extensive and can best be
understood if you gather experience with them and write it down on
a regular basis. Work with the main Rainbow Reiki Crystal Healing
Mandalas for yourself and others. When you do this, do something
like give a Reiki session or take a fantasy journey at the same time.
You will be amazed at what begins to move as a result.

Examples for Practical Application

of Rainbow Reiki Mandalas»

There are many possibilities for working with the Rainbow Reiki
mandala. Here are some of them:
a. Sit or stand in or next to a pattern, depending on how large it is
and how it is constructed. Attune yourself to it by looking at it and
widely opening yourself to its beneficial vibrations. Request heal-
ing, protection, knowledge, and guidance. Now inhale the energy
streaming from the Rainbow Reiki Mandala in calm, deep
breaths. Pause each time you inhale and feel how the harmonious
energy spreads more and more within you.
b. Establish contact—as described under a.—with the mandala. Use
your hands to slowly and consciously draw in the energy emanat-
ing from the pattern, about 10 to ZO centimeters above it, for ex-
ample. Do this as if you were taking water from a well. Bring the
light-filled power into your chakras with your hands. Feel your
way into the liberating, harmonizing effect each time for a while.
c. Sit or lay down close to the pattern. Establish contact—as de-
scribed under a.—with the aura emanating from the mandala. Be
passive and let the healing power work with you without becom-
ing active yourself.
d. Approach a Rainbow Reiki Mandala and establish contact with it
as described under a. Let yourself be intuitively guided by the
vibrations of the pattern to dance steps, body positions, and songs.
This is also a very effective exercise for the development of your
subtle perception.
e. In a correspondingly large Rainbow Reiki Crystal Mandala, give
a Reiki session, a massage, or something similar.
f. Make love with your partner within a healing pattern, such as one
made of carnelian, rhodochrosite, and fire opals. The two of you
will never forget this experience! Before you come together, each
of you should individually become attuned within the mandala to

 its vibrations for about 5 to 10 minutes. Then sit facing each other
for about 5 to 10 minutes, hold hands, and look into each other's
eye so that you enter into a mutual vibration. Then do whatever
the two of you find enjoyable.
.If you have a client with grounding problems, lay out a corre-
sponding grounding mandala around his feet. He should leave his
feet close to the pattern for about 15 to 20 minutes. Also give the
usual Reiki treatments during this time. It is naturally possible
and useful to do this before or afterwards as well.
. Special Rainbow Reiki Mandalas can be laid out in order to pro-
mote a deep, restful sleep, give fearful children a sense of secu-
rity, impregnate a place with powerful spiritual vibrations in order
to purify it of old, disharmonious patterns or prepare it to be a
protected area in which energy work and meditation function par-
ticularly well.
i. Healing stones of all types, jewelry, water, food, or massage oils
can be positively charged and purified in the vicinity of a Rain-
bow Reiki Mandala or within it. Three to four hours of charging
time are usually adequate. However, a longer period of time
doesn't hurt but increases the effect within the limitations of the

 CHAPTER FOUR

Rainbow Reiki and

Work With Friends
from Subtle Dimensions

An important area of Rainbow Reiki is the contact, exchange, and

meaningful human work, equally beneficial to all involved, with
beings that live in the subtle planes of our universe. These beings
have been known everywhere in the world among those with eso-
teric interests since the beginning of human existence. They have
been given many names, such as: fairies, angels, nature spirits,
power animals, devas, or elves. They have been given a great spec-
trum of esteem, ranging from uncritical worship and veneration to
complete rejection, fear, and “demonization.” At the same time, they
are neither gods nor devils. In some respects, they are different from
human beings—however, in others they have some things in com-
mon with us.
My own experiences with subtle beings of all types began during
early childhood. Fascinated by what I was permitted to experience,
I have theoretically and practically encountered all the sources of
this topic to which I have had access time and again since then. After
I received the Second Reiki Degree, a new, wonderful world, which
I had not believed possible despite my previous knowledge, opened
up for me in this respect. I soon discovered a series of expansions of
certain Second Degree techniques that made it possible for me to
establish contact and communicate with a great variety of inhabit-
ants of other dimensions in a way that is quick, simple, and without
the unavoidable, extensive safety measures otherwise required for
journeys into other planes of existence. The experiences gathered in
the previous years were of help to me since establishing contact,
feeling good about it, making oneself understood, and being under-
stood don't necessarily go hand in hand. There are also specific rules
of behavior for dealing with beings of the subtle worlds, and it is
useful and often absolutely necessary to adhere to them in order to
have a meaningful effect.

 Subtle Beings Aren't “Substitute Gods”’
The beings that I write about here are not God and also don't want to
be a substitute for God. They are somewhat ahead of many people in
this respect. They are children of the one God, the Creator of every-
thing that is, just as we are. Among them are specialists with a great
variety of knowledge, abilities, preferences, aversions, and needs.
As outstanding as we may often view their possibilities to be, we
human beings have some capabilities that are completely obvious to
us, but appear incomprehensible and enormous from their perspec-
tive. When we know this, we can work together in an egalitarian
manner with the inhabitants of other planes and learn from each
other without forgetting that each of us has had a good reason for
choosing an incarnation and therefore an emphasis of experience on
a certain level of existence for a specific amount of time. The many
different levels of existence, and all those who live on them, are
equally valuable to the Creation in the overall context. As soon as
hierarchic thinking in one direction or the other develops, meaning
an attitude of “being better or worse than this being” in the contacts
with the subtle forces, an end is put to any type of meaningful coop-
eration from the spiritual perspective.
Before we take a closer look at our subtle friends, who I also like
to call the inhabitants of other dimensions, in a practical way, I want
to tell you a bit more about the theoretical background of the meth-
ods necessary for this purpose so that you know exactly what this is
about and on which foundation this very special form of Rainbow
Reiki energy work is constructed.

Theoretical Foundations for Contacts

and Work with Subtle Beings
Our universe consists of many different planes of existence, sepa-
rated from each other in a certain respect by energetic structures.
What we human beings normally experience in our everyday life is
just one of these areas of being. There are comprehensive natural
laws that are valid in every dimension such as that love causes live-
liness to occur. Others only apply to certain areas, such as the law
ruling the course of time or the existence of space, meaning the sepa-
ration of the individual parts of the Creation by differences in time
and space. Some rules are also exclusively effective in one area
alone. There is life on practically all levels of the universe, even if it
sometimes takes on extremely exotic forms from the human per-
spective. At the same time, every form of life is fundamentally adap-

37
ted to the energetic plane of existence in which it is born and cur-
rently lives. It spends its everyday life there, gathers the lion's share
of its experiences, particularly in the formative early childhood, and
it is not truly permitted to permanently flee from the basic laws of its
homeland before its death. However, it is possible under certain con-
ditions for it to temporarily explore other areas of the Creation, be-
come active there, and maintain contact with the beings that live
there. This is a result of the structure of life itself, which is ultimately
unlimited and unlimitable. The connection to a plane for a certain
amount of time from birth there (awakening of the existential con-
sciousness for this dimension) until death there (shifting of the exis-
tential consciousness from the previous plane of development to
another) is basically just a strong emphasis on certain mechanisms
of perception and action, as well as a (desired) limitation of a being's
ability of consciousness. Through this voluntarily made choice of
the existential emphasis of consciousness (everyday life), made be-
fore incarnation in a certain area of the Creation, essentially more
intensive and, above all, truly new experiences are possible. These
are more necessary for the development of the personality and ulti-
mately for the entire Creation than if all planes would be constantly
accessible for the consciousness of a being. However, when an indi-
vidual being comprehends its freedom through liberating personal
development, learning to use it in a loving and responsible manner,
it is capable of sharing advice and helping not only with other inhab-
itants of its own level of existence (horizontal cross-linking of life),
but also deliberately establishing contact with other planes and the
creatures living there, working together with them for their mutual
benefit (vertical cross-linking of life). In ancient times this vertical
cross-linking was quite common, respected, and carried out system-
atically. Today, it is still customary among the native peoples, the so-
called primitive races. In the Western industrial nations, an interest
in this has started to develop once again. The renaissance of shaman-
ism*', for example, is a sign of this development.

The Iceberg Principle:

Your Everyday Life Happens at the Focus
of Your Consciousness Work
The “iceberg principle” is what I call an important concept that per-
haps permits the multidimensional concept of life and the possibili-
ties of vertical cross-linking with subtle beings to become more
comprehensible. You are certain to know that only a small part of the

58
iceberg juts out of the water and is visible, while a considerably
larger portion rests beneath the surface of the water. The multidi-
mensional structures of living beings can also be understood in a
similar manner. Take a tree as an example. What you normally see,
hear, or feel of it is just one part of its entire existence, namely what
is directly perceptible on our level of existence and subject to its
laws. The part of it that is directly tangible on this level usually has
just a minor power of consciousness” so that we humans perceive it
to be less developed than an animal or person. The other parts of the
tree being are only revealed to those who have learned to deal with
their subtle senses and possibilities of action in an expanded manner.
As soon as you are in the position of gathering information on more
than one level of existence, you will be able to convince yourself
that trees, in parts of their being that exist in other dimensions, also
have a more highly developed consciousness and considerably more
extensive possibilities than may be presumed from their appearance
in this world. The native peoples of America call the abilities and
personality parts of plants, animals, minerals, and elements con-
cealed in the subtle planes “medicine power” and have included it in
their lives for thousands of years. In Nordic mythology, this princi-
ple is expressed by the archetypal tree Yggdrasil, in whose branches
the various worlds of the gods, human beings, elves, dwarfs, and
giants exist. In Eastern esoterics, the Cabalistic Tree of Life de-
scribes the same contents with different terms.

Subtle Helper Powers

The Invisible Friends

On some levels, but not only there, beings who would like to take
part in work on the cross-linking and development of life in the
greater context prefer to incarnate because they want to learn sore-
thing and further develop themselves in this respect. They have a
series of abilities that are very useful and far-reaching for this pur-
pose. One of the basic laws that these “folks” must learn, which
gives them a considerable portion of their wonderful powers at the
same time, is: “Only become active for others when you are re-
quested to do so!” Only when the freedom of a being in relation to
the shaping of its own life is guaranteed can it harmoniously fit into
21 Also compare with the Appendix on Reiki and the contact with the healing powers of nature by
Greta-Bahya Hessel-Liibeck.
2 f it has much consciousness in it on this level, it will become a great place of power, a holy or
healing tree.

59
the universal order and meaningfully participate in the Creation's
evolution.
Among other things, these helper forces build lines of communi-
cation between the various levels of the Creation, watch over the
power places as “protectors of the place,” and make sure that the
life-preserving streams of energy can circulate freely between all
levels and reach all beings that are prepared with respect to their
state of development” to receive the respective power qualities and
therefore desire the contact. Pan, Cernunnos, plant devas, protectors
of the animals, and guardian angels are names that some of these
friendly creatures have received in our world. Don't confuse what
these beings are and what they actually do with what certain circles
propagate about them in order to secure political, economic, and
pseudo-spiritual monopolies for themselves. Form your own opin-
ion by gathering experiences with them and evaluating them without
prejudice.

Human Beings Also Have Subtle Portions

with Immense Hidden Powers

Human beings also have subtle portions in other dimensions with

latently existing, extensive possibilities. However, since the con-
sciousness of most people is concentrated in this level of existence,
these talents can't be used in a controlled way without practice and
an expanded consciousness. Only in the course of genuine spiritual
process of development (in which increasingly larger portions of
one's own being are lovingly integrated into consciousness), and by
accepting responsibility for one's own life as the precondition for
more extensive participation in the evolution of the comprehensive
life structures (Creation), do the hidden subtle powers become
gradually accessible. Then they soon become a quite naturally ap-
plied means of shaping one's life. A more or less short-term opportu-
nity for using limited subtle abilities is often granted by the subtle

Please don't interpret reference to a certain state of development in the hierarchic sense. Instead,
consider every being as an equally important and meaningful level of development, but each
individual being can only be open for very specific things in a thematic sense. If you are “spiritu-
ally developed,” this doesn't mean that you leave others behind who are less “wise,” but that you
personally learn to deal with the your changing themes of experience and experiences in a very
effective way. Even spiritually developed beings make mistakes and can only receive and use new
abilities and possibilities when they—as applies to all others as well—give up something in the
same proportion. Even for “developed” beings, incarnations don't take place on a ladder because
they are “well-behaved,” but so that new experiences become possible, meaningfully comple-
menting those gathered beforehand.

60
helper forces as a touchstone for a person's consciousness of respon-
sibility, as an incentive and challenge for completely new experi-
ences, as help in an emergency situation, or as a catalyst for social
transformation. According to the way in which the expanded abili-
ties are approached as an available potential, they stagnate, regress,
or continue to be developed in the person who has received them or
in the society in general, if this is holistically meaningful for some-
thing or someone. As a result, a person provided with subtle powers
isn't necessarily competent in the spiritual sense as a teacher or ho-
listic healer. There can be many reasons for his exotic abilities. Tak-
ing these facts into consideration, think about the consequences for
involvement with the Usui System of Reiki/Rainbow Reiki and its
permanence as a tradition. It may depend on us and our attitude
whether Reiki remains available for everyone in the long term, if
even children will once again come into the world with this ability or
if it will again go underground and can only be used by very few
people with great efforts on their part.
Becoming aware of the deep solidarity with all life in our world
and making the effort to take into account this cross-linking, main-
taining it, and helping develop it is a great step. An even greater step
is understanding that our level of existence is just one part of the
universe with its living souls, that every being exists in all dimen-
sions, and that in this respect the maintenance and intensification of
the cooperation of each one with all others is not only important for
the development of one's own personality, but also represents a sig-
nificant contribution to the evolution of the entire Creation.
Rainbow Reiki methods offer comparably simple, and yet ex-
tremely effective and expandable ways of increasing the possibili-
ties of perception and activity, up into other levels of existence.
However, in order for these journeys to bring meaningful results, it
is important to know the best way in which to approach the ensuing
subtle perceptions and what should be heeded in contacts with be-
ings whose home lies in other areas of the Creation and whose life is
determined in part by laws other than our own.

Rules of Behavior for Involvement

with Subtle Beings
First and most important, be clear about the fact that subtle beings
are not God or substitutes for God. They are not all-knowing, om-
nipotent, and perfect. They can only do certain things much better
than we humans—and other things they do much worse. For exam-

61
ple, a power animal can be a very good adviser and helper in order to
cure psychosomatic afflictions, harmonize relationship problems, or
more effectively perform and understand certain types of energy
work. On the other hand, it would be hopelessly overtaxed with do-
ing the dishes, repairing the car, or mowing the lawn and admires
these abilities in human beings.
Always treat your partners with courtesy and respect, but never
with subservience. Honor their wishes and advice, but never misun-
derstand them to be commands. Always keep the responsibility for
your life plan in your own hands! Your subtle friends may put you to
the test in order to determine whether you are already suited for
deeper knowledge, more intensive possibilities of energetic action,
or certain important projects. If you uncritically hand over the re-
sponsibility for your life to them or if you do what they apparently
want you to do without stopping to think whether this will promote
the consciousness, ability to love, and personal responsibility of all
participants, they will withdraw somewhat from you and limit their
work with you to a degree safe for all sides until your development
has grown accordingly and you can be active to a greater extent
without creating shambles. The same happens when they impart
something to you that you don't use in a practical sense in the fol-
lowing period of time, and despite this, still want to have more
knowledge or possibilities from the next contact. Furthermore, the
subtle teachers refuse to impart knowledge that just will be for the
sake of sensation or satisfaction of other superficial needs on the
part of the person requesting it. Also, only ask for things that you
really need and want to use. Always give some thought in advance to
whether you can actually master the corresponding task only
through energy work. If there are conventional ways of doing it, use
these first!

Finding the Right Partner for a Certain Purpose

Subtle beings each have very special, unique talents. For this reason,
when selecting your “workmate” for a project, be sure that it is actu-
ally suited for it. I will give an exact explanation of how to make
such a choice later. To be on the safe side, before beginning the ac-
tual work ask whether it even wants to do it and considers itself
suitable for the task.
Successful Communication with Beings of the Subtle Planes
Means the Ability to Read Between the Lines.
The communication with beings of the subtle planes seldom takes
place as directly as that of the customary level between human be-

62
ings. You can assume that the truly important messages are ex-
pressed between the lines. Learn to understand their behavior, the
experiences they share with you, and the perceptions they make pos-
sible for you as metaphors for what they want to tell you. Only in
very few cases will a subtle adviser say to you: “Do this, don't do
that!"* You will usually receive messages that you must decode
through hard, but very instructive detailed work. Or the subtle teach-
ers will ask you questions, which they particularly like to do. I some-
times think it's practically a type of sport for them. The constant
questioning can be a bother, but it is ultimately a wonderful way of
learning to contemplate something and feel what's going on inside
yourself in an effective, guided manner. In addition, it also trains
your own ability to learn in the spiritual sense.

Some other special qualities that many subtle beings have repre-
sent a source of great misunderstanding:
a. They take you literally and believe that you already know why
you do or don't want to have something. As long as this doesn't
contradict the cosmic order and you give them a suitable present
in return or they are the teachers personally responsible for you
and have had much experience with people and their special char-
acter traits, they will make an effort to fulfill your request.
b. They only come when they are called.
c. They only disappear when you have officially taken leave of them
or they become bored.

On a.
How can something like this cause difficulties, you want to know?!
Unfortunately, many people don't give intensive thought to whether
what they want from the forces, even just as they expresss it, is suit-
able for making them happy.

On b.
It could be that nothing happens when something is supposed to
happen because simply no one has made an official request to the

4 There is an entire series of cases in which people channel supposed subtle beings that do nothing
but give instructions from morning to night. However, closer investigation has determined that
such “teachers” tend to be suppressed parts of the channel's personality with extensive, incompat-
ible claims to power. A person who wants to make other people into marionettes is not suited as a
teacher for spiritual development—no matter what he calls himself and how bombastically he
performs. A strong aura doesn't necessarily mean that a person has good intentions and a mature
personality. Hitler also had charisma and persuasive powers and was able to lead many people to
their ruin because they delegated their responsibility to him and took action without seriously
becoming conscious of the resulting consequences.

63
subtle worlds and taken into consideration a fair exchange (ex-
change = offering; see explanation on this further down!). People
are then quick to say: “This doesn't even work!"

Onc.
Things constantly happen that weren't even desired because the
forces that have been summoned were given abundant gifts, but no
one told them exactly what they should do. Instead of sitting around
doing nothing, they then react to every concentrated, strongly emo-
tional thought and try to become active, with the above-mentioned
limitations, according to these “instructions.” If they are not ex-
pressly sent away, they also like to stay (in as far as they have noth-
ing more important to do) and develop activities until they think that
they have done their part for the offering given to them. In case
someone forgot to tell them or they are not clearly told that their
work is finished for the moment and they are officially dismissed,
they stay and understand every thought strongly connected with in-
tensive emotions in the area of the place to which they have been
called to be instructions for action. And as long as these “orders” are
not in direct contradiction to the cosmic order on principle, they like
to put them into practice...

Last but not least, you should never establish contact with the
beings of the subtle planes when you are extremely agitated emo-
tionally or strongly moved by the theme that is to be worked on,
when you are very tired, or extremely stressed”. You should also
never try to work with the spirits in order to harm someone or create
a profit for yourself without a service in return. Under these speci-
fied conditions, there is a great probability that you won't understand
the subtle messages from the other dimensions or not understand
them correctly, act in a thoughtless manner and deal with the subtle
beings (which are quite vulnerable in a certain sense) in a way that is
too coarse, or attempt to put yourself in opposition to the universal
order. This would not only endanger the implementation of your cur-
rent plan, but possibly also make your work with the spirits more
difficult for a long time to come and perhaps also set things in mo-
tion that you would very much regret afterwards. You should there-
fore always heed to these points, which will then eliminate the most
frequent and serious causes of “interdimensional relationship prob-
lems.”

“Exceptions to the points mentioned in this sentence are your Higher Self and your Inner Child,
as well as such beings as a guardian angel or power animal you have already consciously worked
with for a longer period of time and is familiar with your special qualities.

64
The Offering—A Frequently Completely Misunderstood
Principle of Fair Exchange According
to the Laws of Divine Order
When you receive something important for you, you should give
something that is just as valuable to your exchange partner in the
sense of the cosmic order—otherwise, “bad karma” is created. This
thought is the basis for offerings to subtle beings. When you give
something that you urgently need yourself to survive, to be healthy,
or to have experiences that are important for you, it is an act of self-
punishment but not at all in keeping with the natural laws. Plants
give oxygen to human beings and animals. If they would keep it, this
highly reactive element would burn and poison them. For plants,
oxygen is a dangerous waste product of their metabolism. For us, it
is the elixir of life—without it we would have to die within minutes.
The carbon dioxide that we exhale serves plants as an important nu-
trient. They live from it. We would suffocate if we kept it for our-
selves. If human beings would give off oxygen and plants release
carbon dioxide, the healthy cycle of life-maintaining give-and-take
would be interrupted and all those participating in it would suffer a
miserable end. The laws of nature apply to energy work and the
work with subtle beings. When we respect them, our actions will
always have a beneficial effect for all involved in the sense of the
cosmic order, meaning “good karma."
In return for their services in healing, for example, shamans give
the spirits ritually consecrated tobacco, flour, milk, honey, or fra-
grant essences. On the subtle plane, the burning of certain objects or
substances in a specific ritual process also releases qualities that the
beings living there find very pleasant and can put to good use for
themselves.
The release of strong feelings under circumstances harmonizing
with the respective purpose can also be a suitable return service.
This is the basis of many tantric rituals. Sometimes the spirits would
like for a person who works with them to do something for them that
is important in our world or their world, but they alone can't manage
it or have a difficult time doing so. They never ask for an offering
that reduces the ability to love, the consciousness, or the personal
responsibility of the person involved! Quite to the contrary: an offer-
ing in the sense of the cosmic order always detoxifies the giver in the
material, energetic, emotional, or psychological sense. Things that
are obstructing him are taken away and new free space, more strength,
and health are created for him, just like the “oxygen offering” of a
plant keeps it healthy and permits its metabolism to function.
For the greatest variety of reasons, people naturally hang onto
precisely the energies, material things, ways of behaving, and feel-

65
ings that do lasting damage to themselves and perhaps even their
environment, preventing personal holistic growth. In such a case,
the offering that a subtle being proposes may appear to be cruel,
painful, or senseless.
Perhaps it is also one of the tests mentioned above and isn't even
desirable for you to give what has been described. Instead, you are
meant to politely but definitely refuse the demand and independ-
ently choose to give something more suitable. You can discover this
by reflection, feeling what's going on inside yourself, and perhaps
talking to friends and doing oracle work. No matter what the end
result is: this path will make you stronger and more capable of hap-
piness. Plus—it's fun and can be very exciting.

Reiki as an Offering
"Reikians” can do something good for their subtle friends at any
time: namely, provide them with Reiki! This may sound like carry-
ing coals to Newcastle, but don't assume that the inhabitants of oth-
ers planes of existence also master every form of energy work that
some humans can do. This may be the case, and it may not. In addi-
tion: even if some spirits can also work with Reiki, wouldn't you
also like to receive a Reiki treatment from others once in a while and
simple enjoy it, without having to do anything yourself? They feel
the same way. Furthermore, there are projects that need many beings
working on them so that they can succeed. How Reiki can be given
to subtle beings as a return service in accordance with the First or
Second Degree will be described in more detail in the practice sec-
tion of this chapter. However, it is important not to exclude the op-
portunity of sacrificing something that burdens you when you would
be better off giving it as an offering. You can naturally also give
Reiki along with it in any case. Give thought time and again to the
most suitable offering in each respective case. And don't believe you
have nothing that you shouldn't get rid of. There's always some-
thing; you do exhale once in a while, don't you?

66
 Addressing Subtle Beings
in an Appropriate Manner
There is a traditional way of addressing the spirits or a Higher Self
that you can always use at the beginning when you establish contact
with them. This is not a matter of learning something word-for-word
by heart, but consciously duplicating the meaning. It's best for you
to find your own words after you have felt your way into the follow-
ing text.

I come to you as an unhealthy person and request healing. I come

to you as an ignorant person and ask for teaching. I come to you
as a helpless person and ask for support and protection. I come to
you as a powerless person and ask for power in order to better
serve. In return for your services, I offer you (name offering qual-
ity—Reiki, for example).

For ending the contact, the following text can be used.

I thank you for your cooperation and support. The time of our
contact is over for now. I ask that you come to me again when I
call you (alternative: that I can again come to you). Now return to
your home. May light, love, and the blessing of the creative power
be with you!

You should basically use these forms of address as an opening and

closing in all contacts with Higher Selves, power animals, angels, or
other subtle friends. In the following exercises, I will assume that
you remember to do this every time.

Contact Training with Angels, Medicine

Animals, and Other Exotic Friends

In this section, Ihave compiled a complete training program for con-

tact and effective work with subtle beings. Do yourself a favor and
assume that you need it! I can well understand that you are very
much itching to start further down, but that probably wouldn't work
out quite right at this point. You have the best prospects for success if
you first learn the ABCs before starting to write a novel. Believe me,
I'm speaking from my own experience. I didn't exactly inherit an
attitude of patience either...

 "Trust me, I know what I'm doing...!"
Freely quoted according to “Sledge Hammer"

An important precondition for every type of energy work is the best

possible integration of a person's Inner Child into his overall person-
ality. The term “Inner Child” comes from the HUNA teaching, an
old spiritual tradition widespread in the Pacific region that has a
great many congruences with the traditions upon which Dr. Usui
developed his method of natural healing with Reiki. There is a series
of indications that the Reiki method was even developed a long,
long time ago in this region. But that's another story...
Back to the Inner Child: It's the part of a person that contains and
controls his memory, feelings and instincts, vitality, and abilities of
subtle perception and energy work. The Inner Child doesn't have
much use for logic, but it likes to play, is enormously creative, and
has excellent abilities of perceiving comprehensive correlations and
patterns. It loves metaphors, sensual pleasures, and is therefore
closely connected with the body and the physical nature in general.
In the following exercise, using the Reiki Two method you can es-
tablish contact with your Inner Child and give it Reiki directly. If
you carry out this exercise on a regular basis at intervals that aren't
too long, your Inner Child will be connected more and more with
your overall personality and make itself noticeable in your con-
sciousness in many ways. Be sure to respect its perspective of the
world, which is completely different from your conscious, rational
portion, the Middle Self. Permit yourself to dream and play more, to
pay more attention to your body and its needs, and to feel and ex-
press more emotions. Then you will perhaps get to know a previ-
ously unimagined degree of vitality, creativity, and joy in life.
If you want to make contact with subtle beings, you should build
up the contact to your Inner Child beforehand over a longer period of
time, ask it for help in every plan in this direction, and keep the con-
nection with it until you have ended the corresponding work with the
subtle being. Then say goodbye to it and thank it for its support. In a
number of respects, your Inner Child can be a great help to you in
working with the inhabitants of other planes of existence.
One rule applies to all Reiki distance contacts: you should only
work consciously with them. This means that you should only es-
tablish a distance contact when your entire attention can be with
the connection—otherwise, don't do it! When the time in which
you want to have your attention free for the contact is over, end it
carefully and consciously, as taught in your Second Degree basic
course. It is an error to believe that a constant distance contact with
your Higher Self, for example, is important and meaningful. En-

69
ergy work and personal development only occur to the degree that
your attention is with what you are doing. If you develop your self
quickly and securely and would like to learn to deal with higher
forms of energy work, as described in this book, become ‘accus-
tomed to doing everything in this regard in a controlled and con-
scious manner. Consumer-thinking and “a lot helps a lot” have
nothing to do with spirituality and esoterics!
You will find one version of the following exercise for the First
Degree explained in point | b. With the First Degree, you can also do
something for an Inner Child, but it takes much longer because you
must take a detour in the absence of Second Degree “tools.” But
don't be sad because of this since you will learn a great deal about
your body and its relationship to the Inner Child as a result. In addi-
tion, as has already been mentioned before: The path is the ... okay, I
don't want to get on your nerves.

Exercise 1: Strengthening the Connection

to Your Inner Child
a. Use the two symbols responsible for the Reiki distance treatment
and the corresponding mantras, as well as the form of addressing the
“Inner Child of (add first and last name of person to whose Inner
Child the contact is to be established).” Turn the palms of your
hands away from your body and imagine that there, where they are
directed, is the Inner Child. But don't try to visualize it! Let it take
the initiative and simply wait to see what happens. Use some of the
intensification signs and the corresponding mantras in order to pro-
vide it with more Reiki.
After every exercise session, which should last three to five min-
utes once or twice a week and can later also be lengthened as you
desire, briefly note your perceptions during the contact in a special
book in which you can also write your experiences with Rainbow
Reiki energy work in the future. Don't forget the date.
During the contact with your Inner Child, let your attention wan-
der through your entire body and pay attention to any changes in
comparison to the state before the contact. Which thoughts are going
through your head? Do certain feelings awaken within you or do
certain memories or desires suddenly surface within you? All this
could be the Inner Child's first attempts to establish contact with
you. Don't expect any 3-D pictures and angelic Inner Child figures
who proclaim to you some sort of wise sayings, important messages
for humanity, or prophecies of the future. Such things aren't very
interesting for the Inner Child. Assume that you will need an entire
series of sessions until your work with it takes on concrete forms. If

70
it goes more quickly, that's great! Remember to carefully take leave
after every distance contact.

b. If you aren't yet initiated into the Second Degree, but are in the
First Degree, carry out the exercise in the following manner: lay one
hand—it doesn't matter which one since both transmit the same en-
ergy because of the initiation into Reiki—with the inner side on your
lower belly, just above the pubic bone (2nd chakra) and the other
between your legs with the palm of the hand turned towards your
crotch (1st chakra). Stay in this position for 10 to 15 minutes and let
Reiki be drawn in. As described under a., be sure to watch for
changes in your perception and don't expect anything specific,
which means that all the more things can happen as a result! Take
notes on your experiences afterwards. According to experience, the
contact with your Inner Child usually takes longer. It could also be
that it immediately makes itself noticeable to you. In any case, leave
it the freedom to do so in a form that is pleasant for it and don't
demand anything of it.

Reiki and Your Higher Self

Your Higher Self watches over your life plan and, when your organ-
ize your life in a way that deviates from it, tries to show you that
what you are doing isn't so good for you and what would be better
for you from its point of view. When doing so, it never makes rules
but respects the freedom of the Middle Self and the Inner Child in
directing one's own life. Its advice can be more frequent, clear, and
strong if it is provided with additional energy from the Middle Self,
the part of the personalty representing a person's everyday con-
sciousness in the narrower sense. Contacts with your Higher Self on
a regular basis have the additional advantage that you can also in-
creasingly integrate this portion with its special abilities (see graphic
on pg. 91) and consciously include it in your life. Remember that a
Higher Self is on a level of the Creation where time and space are
not what they represent in our everyday world. It judges life, moral-
ity, and ethics from a vastly different perspective than the Middle
Self or even the Inner Child.
Despite all the fantastic possibilities that Higher Selves have,
they are not perfect, all-knowing, or omniscient. So don't confuse a
Higher Self with God! A Higher Self, a Middle Self, and an Inner
Child form the totality of a human being—you, for example! No
more and no less. If you put a portion of yourself on a pedestal, a
hierarchic structure will develop that impedes the evolution of other

71
parts or even makes it impossible. The Higher Self, Inner Child, and
Middle Self are equally important parts with different approaches to
life and the world. Every part has its strengths and weaknesses that
the other two don't have. So they can learn to complement each other
in their cooperation and thereby have a greater effect than as in the
sum of the individual parts. The equal cooperation of all three partial
personalities is one of the greatest challenges within the scope of
genuine spiritual development.
You can also find the concept of the Trinity in practically every
religion and spiritual tradition in the world. In Christianity, for ex-
ample: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit ("Divine Mother” in the original
texts that are inaccessible to the public for the most part). In Nordic
mythology, it is Odin, Vili, and Ve. In Hinduism, it is Brahma, Vish-
nu, and Shiva. “As above, so below!” is the old esoteric law, attrib-
uted to Hermes Trismegistos, one of the great spiritual teachers of
antiquity. As it is for human beings, so it also is, in a greater context,
for the divine forces that created and maintain the world and provide
for the constant completion of the Creation.
In the distance contacts of the Second Reiki Degree, the special
qualities of the existence plane of the Higher Selves—trelative lack
of time and space—are systematically used in order to be able to
send the universal life energy over any desired distance without loss
of time or effect, for example. Reiki treatments in the past and future
are therefore possible. Unfortunately, there is not enough room for
me to go into more detail about these exciting applications here.

If you frequently connect with your Higher Self through the

methods described below and send it Reiki indirectly—by the
means of the First Degree—or directly, by the means of the Second
Degree—the preconditions for better cooperation between all three
parts of the personality will be created. This naturally isn't a process
that begins today and ends tomorrow! However, you will soon feel
many beneficial effects of these types of efforts. Your Higher Self
can also serve you well, together with your Inner Child, as a guide
and helper in all types of work with other Higher Selves or subtle
beings. If you get stuck at some point, give both of them plenty of
Reiki and ask for support. If there is a solution for your problem,
they will then do their best to help you. At the same time, ‘never
forget to be consciously aware of the continued responsibility for
how you live your life. Otherwise, you won't really get any further
even if you give your Higher Self and your Inner Child Reiki 24
hours a day. They always “just” provide assistance for your Middle
Self to help itself. Which isn't all that bad...

72
 Exercise 2: Strengthening the Connection
to Your Higher Seif
a. Use the distance treatment symbol, the energy intensification
symbol, as well as the corresponding mantras. Clearly direct the
Reiki distance contact by using the address form of “Higher Self of
(add first and last name of person whose Higher Self you want to
contact).” Turn the palms of your hands away from your body and
imagine that the Higher Self is at the place where they are directed.
But don't try to visualize it in front of your mind's eye! Leave it the
initiative and simply wait to see what happens. Use several intensifi-
cation signs and the respective corresponding manta in order to pro-
vide it with more Reiki. Don't forget to take leave from the contact!
In no case should you let it constantly continue!
The explanation given in Exercise 1a. also applies to this exercise.

b. If you are initiated into the First Degree, put one hand on your 6th
major chakra and the other on your Sth in order to strengthen your
connection to your Higher Self. Remain in this position for 10 to 15
minutes and let Reiki be drawn in. At the same time, formulate the
wish to come into contact with your Higher Self.”° As described un-
der | a., pay attention to any changes in your perception and don't
expect anything in particular—which means all the more that can
happen! Afterwards, take notes on your experiences.
According to experience, the contact to your Higher Self usually
takes longer with the First Degree. But it's also possible that it
quickly makes you aware of its presence here. In any case, permit it
the freedom to do this in the form that it finds most suitable and don't
make any stipulations.

Exercise 3a: Creating a Connection

with a Power Animal Through Your Higher Self
This exercise only functions satisfactorily when you have been initi-
ated into the Second Degree.
Establish contact with your Higher Self as explained under 2a. Tell
it that you would like to get to know a power animal that can help you
in the work on a certain problem or generally in the development of
your personality at this time. Use further intensification symbols and
the corresponding manta in order to provide your Higher Self with
more Reiki for this task. Now wait until an animal, no matter what

26In case you are wondering why I didn't already write this in the exercise for connecting with the
Inner Child: This isn't necessary because it basically acts differently than the Higher Self. But it
wouldn't hurt at all for you to also ask it to come closer to you.

73
type, appears in front of your inner eye. When you perceive one, ask
whether it would like to work with you. If it acts unwilling or disinter-
ested, ask what you can do so that it supports you. If you still don't
receive a positive reaction, respectfully say goodbye to the spirit, no
matter how it has acted towards you. This could be a test to see
whether you are emotionally stable and mature enough for this type of
work. Don't believe that you can deceive a subtle being, it would im-
mediately smell a rat and you would lose the opportunity of getting to
know a subtle being more closely for a long time to come.
Ask your Higher Self to mediate a more suitable contact for you.
If this doesn't work out either, then respectfully take leave for the time
being, give thanks for the help and the experience, and make the con-
nection to search for a power animal Iater. It is quite possible that you
must carry out this exercise for a longer time before you get concrete
results. Be patient and take this as a test of your sincerity. Perhaps you
can ask an oracle what you could also do in order to create the precon-
ditions for a contact with subtle beings. The Pendulum Table No. 14 in
the Appendix is also quite suited for this purpose.
In the general sense, this exercise is suitable for making contact
with all types of subtle beings. Don't forget to take leave of a Reiki
distance contact every time!

Exercise 3b: Choosing and Making Contact

with a Power Animal by Using the Medicine Cards
Bear and Company in Santa Fe, New Mexico published in 1988 an
excellent instrument for work with power animals: the Medicine
Cards, The Discovery of Power Through the Ways of Animals by
Jamie Sams and David Carson. If you want to find a suitable power
animal for yourself according to the oracle principle, which means
in cooperation with your Higher Self, ask the question: “Which
power animal can help me develop my personality?” or “Which
power animal can help me solve the problem (add description of
problem)?” Then mix the cards and draw one of them while you are
thinking of your question. Now you know who can help you.
As an alternative to the Medicine Cards, you can also use the
Power Animal Pendulum Tables in the Appendix. According to how
much experience you have with the pendulum, it may possibly be
not quite as effective as the cards, but it also trains further abilities
within you. Using the pendulum doesn't function like an oracle
through the Higher Self, but through your Inner Child portion.
If you have been initiated into the First Degree, you can work to-
gether with a power animal by frequently laying on your hands to
give Reiki to the corresponding card, some other picture of a repre-

74
sentative of this species, or a corresponding stuffed animal for 15 min-
utes or longer with the intention of sending it to the power animal.
This symbolic action can, connected with respectful requests for help,
have an effect. For specific reasons, this type of contact functions only
with power animals and comparable beings. This technique isn't suit-
able for Reiki distance treatments of human beings!
The distance contact is often quicker and more versatile. With
the tools of the Second Degree, you can establish the contact with
the subtle friend in the following manner:
Use the distance treatment sign, the energy intensification sign, as
well as the corresponding mantras. Then direct the distance contact
through the repeated address form “Higher Self of (add the name of
this type of animal).” Turn your hands away from your body with the
intention of the power animal being where they are directed. Leave it
up to the spirit being whether or not it appears and how it appears in
front of your inner eye. Intensify the flow of Reiki energy several
times. Otherwise, there's nothing you need to do. If possible, make
daily contact to your helper in this way and wait to see what happens.
Don't forget to always take leave of every distance contact!

Exercise 4: Training Your Subtle Perception: Paint

a Meditation Picture Together with a Power Animal
This exercise is only suitable for the Second Degree.”
Lay out a drawing block and colored pencils. Establish a Reiki
distance connection with your Inner Child and your Higher Self. As
explained in the last exercise for the Second Degree, establish a dis-
tance contact with a power animal. Intensify the flow of the Reiki
energy several times. Ask the power animal to draw a meditation
picture with your hands. Without giving it much thought, reach for
the pencils and let your hands draw a picture. Don't think about how
it should be drawn and don't try to control anything! Simply watch
as the picture is created. You will sense when it's done. Don't forget
to thank your exercise partners and carefully end every Reiki contact
that you have established for this exercise.
Before going to sleep every night, focus your attention on the picture
that your power animal drew for you for about five minutes. Don't
try to analyze it! Just meditate on it. With time, the picture will set
into motion a growth process within you and help dissolve blocks.
Pay attention to your dreams!

27 There are naturally other methods of reaching a similar result, but not in the Reiki system.
Shamanism, wicca, magic, and the like offer a series of tested tools for this purpose. However,
these cannot be used “cold.” A longer training period is required.

 Exercise 5: Expanding the Work Together:
Dance with a Power Animal
This exercise is only suitable for the Second Degree.
Be sure that you have peace and quiet for the time of the exer-
cise. A room in which you can freely move without bumping into
anything or knocking over anything is also necessary. Establish con-
tact with your Inner Child, your Higher Self, and a power animal.
Intensify the flow of Reiki energy in every connection. Ask your
power animal to come closer to you and show you a dance that is
good for you. Then let “it” dance through you. Perceive your body's
motions and let yourself go. Nothing bad will happen. The
channeled dance will relax your body and possibly permit congested
feelings to flow. When the dance has ended or you have had enough,
permit yourself at least a 20-minute nap in order to receive the heal-
ing effect as completely as possible. Remember to give thanks and
carefully end every contact that you have established for this exer-
cise.
Exercise 6: Channeling a Power Animal
This exercise is only suitable for the Second Degree.
Prepare a microphone and cassette recorder with an empty cas-
sette. Think of a question on a topic that personally effects you and
formulate it in writing. It shouldn't be a question that can be an-
swered just with “‘yes” or “no” or has more than one meaning, such
as: “What would happen if I took a vacation in America, France, or
Hong Kong in January, March, or August?” An example of an appro-
priate question would be: “What can I do in order to live the relation-
ship to my partner in the sense of the cosmic order?” or “How should
I behave in my profession in relation to the problem (add description
of problem) in order to contribute to the benefit of all participants?”
Be sure you have peace and quiet during the time of the exercise. As
described above, make the Reiki distance contact with your Inner
Child, your Higher Self, and a power animal. Intensify the flow of
the Reiki energy in all the connections several times. Ask the power
animal to answer your question and ask it out loud or in your
thoughts exactly like you wrote it down. Now simply speak every-
thing that goes through your mind at the moment onto the tape.
Don't censor anything, and don't try to formulate things with a good
style. Just say what you perceive. If you wait for something special
to happen that you can tell, this exercise won't work! Start talking
immediately after you have asked the power animal a question.
You'll sense when the answer is complete.
By the way, answers from subtle beings are rarely longwinded.
They are used to getting to the point. If you listen to the tape after-

12
wards and think about the information, sort out any possible moral
statements, suggestions for improving the world, messages for other
people, “do this, don't do that!” instructions, and the like, if there
should be any of these. They don't come from a subtle being. They
don't make any regulations, are not drearily moralistic, and talk just
about you and no one else when you make contact with them, except
if someone else has asked you to establish contact for him. It also
takes some time for a person to allow himself to become a clear
channel for messages from other levels of existence. In my experi-
ence, this could happen within three to four days with personal in-
struction in the scope of a seminar when a person is inexperienced in
this field. When learning at home, about three months are realistic,
whereby I assume that you will do two or three short exercises a
week during this time. If you are strongly involved emotionally with
the topic of the question or very interested in the person asking the
question and his path in life, experience has shown that it is difficult
to channel cleanly. It's better to let a friend who has enough emo-
tional distance work on this topic.
Remember to carefully end every distance contact that you have
established for this exercise and to thank each of the exercise partners.

For all the exercises following (and including) Exercise 3a, you
can naturally use each method for working with any of the other
subtle beings as well. However, based on my experience, I recom-
mend contacts with power animals at the beginning. For the most
part, they have been familiar with humans and their character traits
for thousands of years. As a result, they are usually patient and
don't take things wrong as quickly when they sense that someone
simply isn't quite secure enough yet to pay attention to everything
but is basically honest, fair, and striving to do everything right.
Power animals have many wonderful abilities and carry out many
official trips on the Earth as a result of their “jobs.” Practically all
of them have some humor; however, it can sometimes be quite
earthy and eccentric. Some other subtle beings have no under-
standing of jokes whatsoever. They are nice and want to help, but
can't at all understand what it means to play or joke. Later on, you
may want to give them some coaching in this direction. If you have
the feeling that a subtle partner somehow doesn't know how to go
on or is becoming weary, ask whether it would prefer to call an-
other being for this special task, with whom you can work. Re-
member: none of them can do everything! In addition, systematic,
longer work without “breaks for play” can very much irk some
power animals. It appears that they aren't made for things like this.
Well—who actually is?

78
 Hidden Knowledge
in Plants and Minerals

This exercise is only suitable for the Second Degree.

A worthwhile activity is to establish contact with the Higher Self
of a type of plant or mineral on a regular basis and let it explain to
you what spiritual abilities the representatives of this species pos-
sess in relation to healing or personal growth. Always take notes and
remember to put your new knowledge to practical use at least once
before requesting more information. Otherwise, it's possible that
nothing more will come! Shamans and other people who have
learned to work with the forces of nature get much for themselves
that cannot be found in any book or received from any human
teacher. However, never give up your responsibility here either but
carefully examine the information that has been channeled to you.
This is the spiritual obligation to exercise due care and belongs to
the “ABCs” of every light worker of any type.

Some Examples for Practical Application

of Working with Subtle Beings
You can work together with subtle beings in a great variety of ways
on even very commonplace problems. Here are some suggestions:
# Make contact with the Higher Self of the house in which you live
and give it Reiki on a regular basis. This will considerably in-
crease the quality of life for all the house residents with time and
improve the “fate” of the house. Ask the Higher Self if, from its
point of view, there is something practical that should be done for
the house. You will be astounded by everything that comes out of
this. Do your best to translate the suggestions into action. This is
also an offering in the sense explained in detail! above.
a Make contact with the Higher Selves of mice, rats, flies, ants, or
other “pests” if these turn up in your living area on a regular basis.
Try to find out why they are there. Sometimes ants come into a
house because a natural force that works with them wants to show
the inhabitants that there are strong Earth rays there that are good
for the ants but very harmful for the people. In such a case, simply
setting out ant bait and killing the messengers wouldn't be very
meaningful. The existence of “bugs” often shows that the ener-
getic or material structures in an area or building are/have become
destructive. Use this as a stimulus for once again creating life-

79
 promoting circumstances and you will be acting in the sense of
the cosmic laws. The beings that have brought you a message
from the spirits will go somewhere else when they are no longer
needed at your place—without poison, traps, and swatting.
Sometimes such animals simply need suitable living space for a
short time. They are also God's creatures and have their tasks in
the world. There is no being with a superfluous existence! Help
them in such a case, if you can, and set up a compost pile, a small
stack of old wood, or the like in a corner of the garden, for exam-
ple, or any other suitable place and explain to the Higher Self of
this type of animal where there is an appropriate home for its
charges. You can also look for somewhere in the neighborhood
that would be a good place for these beings to live and where they
wouldn't bother anyone, and then tell the corresponding Higher
Self where this is. Send it Reiki a number of times so that it can
better fulfill its tasks. Remember that strong fear, panic, and stress
can extremely disturb the connection to the respective Higher Self
and therefore at least prevent it from exerting its influence for a
time not only in human beings, but also in animals and plants. If a
type of animal crosses your path more frequently for a time, read
about the spiritual message of this animal in the corresponding
literature. You will often find important messages for yourself in
this way. Some shamans also call this a “nature oracle."
w Give the Higher Self of your garden or a forest Reiki on a regular
basis and let it advise you in your gardening work. You can also
receive information about healing places in nature from it or be-
come informed about certain plants. In time, it can mediate con-
tacts with the devas and elves that work in this piece of nature for
you and show you how you can perceive them. Be very careful in
how you treat these beings. They are easily frightened and can be
injured by vehement imbalanced feelings and insensitive beha-
vior and are therefore frequently afraid of human beings. Is that a
surprise for anyone?! Some subtle beings react allergically to iron
and steel. In case of doubt, take off everything that is made of
these materials before you attempt to make closer contacts with
them.
a If you are looking for a new place to live or a new job, in addition
to the customary methods of evaluation you can also establish a
connection with the respectively responsible Higher Self and let
yourself be advised as to whether this place is suitable for you.
Bring the blessing of the creative power into your property by
giving the Higher Self of your car Reiki now and then, for exam-
ple. In the old days, this was something quite common. The ritual-
istic christening of ships still reminds us of this and in some areas,

80
 a priest is called even today in order to bless tools, residences,
animals, and the like. Giving a Higher Self Reiki has the same
meaning as this type of blessing.
ww Learn something about nature and the laws according to which it
functions at the source: the Higher Self of a plant, an animal, or a
mineral.
«# Establish contact with the Higher Self of the weather in an area
where you are at the moment. Send it Reiki and ask it to create a
harmonious climate, if this is in the sense of the cosmic order.
w# Establish contact with the Higher Self of a stream and feel your
way into it, draw a picture of it, or dance with it.

As you will notice, there is a vast quantity of exciting experiments.

And this is just the beginning, the basic level of Rainbow Reiki...

Rainbow Reiki
and Energy Work
with Power Places

General Information on Power Places

Every place, every being, and every material object has a field of
force that is woven around it from many different energies in a more
or less solid structure. Each of these emanation patterns is solid in
relation to the essence of its identity, which is what gives a part of
the Creation its unique nature. The emanation is changeable because
there are formative relationships with other things and beings that
develop, shift, or otherwise transform the parts of the field. Patterns
from the outside can enter into the field of force, blend into it, and
also again leave it in part or completely at a given time. Modifica-
tions in the energy field of a place, object, or being** can also occur
because of fluctuations in the strength of the overall emanation or
the emanation of certain areas.
The energetic fields (auras) of places, beings, or objects basi-
cally enter into a relationship with each other on the various qualita-
tive levels when:
a. strong emotions or other energetic interactions of a qualitative or
quantitative sort currently exist in relation to the others
b. a basis of communication adequately accessible to both for a con-
scious and differentiated, as well as unconscious, exchange is found.

How strong the contact and the exchange associated with it is

depends on the receptivity of the partner in the relationship and the
strength of the emanation of their energy fields.
If I relate these statements to dealing with power places, this
means that every place is basically a power place in the larger sense
of the word. However, this doesn't apply to every person at any
given time and in any way, varying greatly in intensity and quality.
In other words, if you feel particularly well in the proximity of a

necessarily be distinctly separated from each other.

83
large, old tree or a pilgrimage site, this doesn't mean that every other
person will have the same experiences at these places. Often the spe-
cial power of a place can only be experienced when the receptivity
for subtle impressions is significantly increased through a learning
process, meaning that the basis for communication with other parts
of the world is expanded. In the narrower sense, power places are
something that gives you power, convey important knowledge, or
influence you in a way that is positive in the overall sense. Some
places will only be important for you at certain times or even just
once in your life. Others can accompany you for a long time, per-
haps as long as you are on this plane. Such power places can also
give you support in difficult times and teach you to successfully get
through the valleys in life and properly enjoy the mountain tops.
These great teachers have frequently helped many people and, in a
certain respect, they are also there for this purpose. On the other
hand, you can also give them important help in exchange by offering
them Reiki, staying in contact with them on a regular basis, and do-
ing other important things for them that are enjoyable for you. When
you work with it in such a way, a place of power can continue to
grow and receive more possibilities of helping and healing.
If you increasingly develop the ability within you to listen, look,
and deeply open yourself for what surrounds you, you will soon no-
tice that there are many power places for you in your immediate
environment and that they possess varying attributes. With time you
will better perceive their individuality and learn to sense their con-
sciousness and messages. Their needs and talents will be increas-
ingly revealed to you. This will cause profound possibilities of being
and working together to open up for you. This chapter should help
you to expand these special abilities and put them to good use. Reiki
will pave the way for you and create the possibilities of contact with
power places, their Higher Selves, and the subtle beings connected
with these places, the development of which requires years of inten-
sive training to accomplish in another manner for most people.
There is much to discover and learn. The best place to have the
first experiences with power places is in God's open countryside.

The Differing Qualities of Power Places

When you walk through the landscape, time and again you will
come across places that direct attention to themselves and have
something “special” about them. If you stop at such a place for some
time, it can easily happen that you get into a peculiar, enraptured
mood. Some people have discovered such a lovely spot of earth at

84
some point and then visit it time and again in order to tank energy,
clear their minds, or get relief for emotional or physical complaints.
As an example, a Reiki friend told me that he goes back to a certain
tree over and over again in order to soothe his heart complaints. The
healing influence of the tree on him was so intensive that it could
even be clearly proved in a long-term ECG”’.
If a certain place has a harmonizing, animating, or even con-
sciousness-expanding effect on people, it is called a positive power
place. There are also power places with an emanation or characteris-
tic that burdens human beings. Here accidents, diseases, imbalanced
emotional states, or crimes occur more frequently than in other
places. These are negative power places. It is not always possible to
clearly classify a place in a specific category, negative or positive.
Frequently, just certain people are influenced by one type of effect.
In the same respect, not everyone necessarily reacts at all to the ema-
nation of a certain power place.
Many power places of both types are generally known. How-
ever, the majority of power places tend to lead a secluded exist-
ence. This is not necessarily because they are less capable of being
effective, but because they are not perceived by human beings or
even because they are not considered to be so important. So they
more or less slumber and lie dormant, waiting for someone to
come who is willing to work with them, for a person to come to
them who has learned to listen to their fine voices and take their
messages seriously.
When you have carefully worked through this chapter, you will
be able to recognize power places, understand their different abili-
ties, and communicate with them. It will also be possible for you, as
it was for the people of ancient times who were close to nature, to
create new power places under certain preconditions, awaken those
that are asleep, activate their fallow abilities, and meaningfully deal
with them in a variety of ways.
You can successfully use a series of the methods presented in this
chapter with the First Reiki Degree. However, for others you will
definitely need the Second Degree. A further prerequisite is that you
have read through the previous chapter about approaching subtle
beings, tried out the introductory exercises, and have understood the
basics for working with subtle beings before you start the practical
work with power places described here.

for a longer periodof time so that more values are available for medical evaluation of the heart's

 Various Categories of Power Places
There are many different types of power places with a strong emana-
tion and particularly prominent possibilities of effectiveness. I have
listed them for you in this section and described their special quali-
ties in detail. Take a good look at all of this and then find examples
from your own experience for each category so that you have “part-
ners” for the exercises explained below.

I. Power places created by human beings

All places that have been consciously or unconsciously accentuated
in the significance of their emanation and/or possibilities of effec-
tiveness fall into this category.

a. Power places in which like-minded people frequently have

come together
If, for example, people come together in a nall time and again in
order to celebrate, in time the room will be so “drenched” in vibra-
tions of the same type that it begins to reflect these energetic impres-
sions on various levels after having achieved a certain degree of
charging. This is practical when people come together there whose
plans are supported by the emanation. In dojos, the traditional Japa-
nese exercise rooms for fighting arts, meditation, or other con-
sciousness-expanding activities, it is very important that a certain
mental attitude is cultivated. In time, every person who enters the
room will receive help in his work and the development of his per-
sonality that should not be underestimated through the reflection of
the place.

b. Power places in which strong emotions have often been

released
One negative example is the atmosphere of medieval torture cham-
bers, which still send a very unpleasant shudder down most visitors'
backs. In the positive sense, you can perceive an emanation in a
playroom that happy children have used for years, which can even
prompt some adults to romp around and play there.

c. Power places in which energy work has been done on a

regular basis
Old altars, the lodge houses of the Freemasons or other societies in
which energy work has been performed for a long time, as well as
temples, holy groves, and churches receive a typical emanation
clearly differentiating them from other places not only in intensity

86
but also type through magical, shamanistic, or mystic practices dur-
ing the course of the years.

d. Power places that are characterized by special architectural,

geometric, or material features
Some buildings have been consciously or unconsciously designed
and built from materials that have the effect of a type of convex lens
for subtle vibrations of a certain sort. The orgon accumulators in-
vented by Wilhelm Reich, the Austrian psychiatrist and natural sci-
entist, are an example of this. As a result of the alternating ordering
of organic and inorganic materials, they collect certain subtle ener-
gies through the one side and emit them in a bundled manner on the
other side.

e. Power places that have received their special emanation

through nuclear, electromagnetic, or electrical facilities
Every nuclear reactor, every electrical transformer facility, and
every television tower represents a power place. Through the strong
electrical, electromagnetic, and/or nuclear energies that collect and
move here, there is an extensive interaction with subtle vibrations.
The principle of reciprocal influence of subtle and conventional-
physical energies behind this is applied, for cxample, by Kirlian
photography in which the characteristic interactions of an electrical
high-voltage field with the aura of a living being can be photo-
graphed.
The reciprocal influence and the powers behind it are not basi-
cally negative. They can also be used for healing purposes if the
necessary knowledge exists. However, there are practically always
negative effects on-the body and mind when the energies are too
strong and/or appear in a form that is too chaotic. Since subtle con-
ditions and their effects on living beings are not yet taken into con-
sideration in the construction methods for large-scale electrical,
electromagnetic, or nuclear facilities, the power places mentioned
under this point are not places with which you should necessarily
establish physical or subtle contact. It's not much fun, although it
will not directly cause harm if you adhere to the Reiki methods.
Nevertheless, the connection can cause a great deal of emotional
confusion for you.

II. Power places created by subtle beings

This category of power places also has an “artificial” origin. Subtle
beings of all types build energetic structures on their home plane of
existence and sometimes also on our own for a great variety of pur-

87
poses and anchor them on places that appear suitable to them be-
cause of their natural state. Strongly charged, differentiated subtle-
energetic structures always emanate into other levels of existence
and may possibly trigger reactions in a variety of other ways on the
plane where the basic structure exists. Rituals, amulets, and other
material power objects, for example, function according to this prin-
ciple.

a. Contact places
There is a type of bridge from one plane of existence to another or
others. Very few of them permit a complete material crossing into
another dimension under certain conditions, such as specific areas in
the Bermuda Triangle, for example. For the most part, they tend to
create a communicative connection. They strengthen the abilities of
beings to perceive other levels of the Creation with their senses, re-
ceive messages from them, and send messages there themselves.
Many stone circles, temples, and grave mounds have been built on
such places. I have listed this type of power place under the category
“created by subtle beings” because these have been the builders in
most cases. However, human beings are basically capable of mani-
festing such an energy structure, even if some training and experi-
ence, as well as patience and good connections to the spirits, are
required for this purpose.

b. Refuges
When subtle beings like angels or spiritual teachers are active on our
plane, without incarnating in the material sense, they need a type of
foothold that makes it possible for them to stay and have an effect
here without greater efforts on their part. These great helpers are
usually not constantly bound to one place, yet it represents an impor-
tant source of strength for them and their possibilities of effective-
ness are often most comprehensive there. In earlier times, people
frequently built temples or altars at these sites and visited them
when they needed extensive spiritual support. The refuges are well-
suited for people to take a rest at the major crossroads of their path in
life, find advice and understanding, and become clearer about the
meaning and purpose of their existence.

c. Subtle energy machines

There is an entire series of possibilities for collecting subtle ener-
gies, meaningfully structuring and lastingly stabilizing them, and
permitting them to be effective for certain tasks. Beings ofthe subtle
dimension, as well as individual human beings, master the art of
building and using such facilities. In ancient times, these machines

88
were used to heal and influence the climate, as well as help animals,
plants, people, and subtle beings live in harmony with each other
even in difficult situations or be able to communicate with each
other over great distances. The possibilities for using such facilities
are enormously versatile. In our times, most of these are “sleeping”
and waiting in the “stand-by” mode to once again be awakened and
put to use.

d. Power places with special tasks

Even today, native peoples are familiar with places that are sought
out for specific purposes such as harvest festivals, blessing of the
kill, initiation of healers or social leaders, or preparation of adoles-
cents for introduction into the world of adults. At these places there
are often possibilities for contacting subtle teacher beings, who con-
sider their tasks to be working together with human beings in a cer-
tain area. Places that are used to this effect can also belong to other
categories.

Ill. Natural power places

Among these are all places that represent special concentration
points of the subtle flow of energy on the Earth. Just like human
beings, the Earth also has nerve paths, meridians (as they are de-
scribed in traditional Chinese medicine), chakras, and acupuncture
points. She has sensory organs, such as the trees that grow on her
body, and a consciousness, which does differ greatly from its human
counterpart. However, since the Earth is a being of this plane of ex-
istence representing the life basis for all other creatures on this
planet, she is strongly connected with her “children” in a certain
way. In the shamanistic sweat-lodge rituals or other healing applica-
tions of the Earth energy, the connection of a human being to the
Great Mother, as the Earth is also called by native peoples and tradi-
tional healers, is used for strengthening purposes and the harmoniza-
tion of deep fears, psychosomatic afflictions, and life crises of all
types. The power of the Earth is enormous. If, perhaps one day, our
society once again recollects that we human beings are her children
and she is not our slave, we will have a good chance of healing the
environmental damages of the past few decades.

a. Cliffs
Cliffs are the bones of the Earth. A cliff is a good place to let inner
stability grow. Here you can learn how you can become strong
enough, give your life meaning and happiness, master difficult,
strenuous situations, and come to rest within yourself. Cliffs have
differing powers, according to where they are located, what type of

89
rock they are composed of, and possibly who works with them from
the subtle planes.

b. Caves
Among other things, you can find protection, basic trust, and a feel-
ing of security in a cave. This is the Great Mother's womb. Connec-
ted with certain rituals that awaken the healing power of the Earth,
the visit to a cave can free you from blocks that can hardly be dis-
solved in any other way. Sometimes this is like a snake shedding its
skin, a person goes bent by worry into a cave and after the ritual is
over, appears radiant, liberated, and as if he were reborn from the
body of the Great Mother. Some native peoples also use cave rituals
to prepare themselves for the transition into a new phase of life.
Caves are particularly well-suited (as are the corresponding sweat
lodges) to developing and strengthening the loving, harmonious
spirit of community. Whether good relationships between people
alone or between them and their environment are concerned, a cave
can bring unity into the diversity and free from separation. This is
how the strong healing effect of cave rituals on physical or emo-
tional imbalances based on suppression or the separation of certain
parts of a human being's personality can be explained.

c. Trees and holy groves

Trees are important parts of the sensory organs, the memory, and the
detoxification organs of the Earth. Old trees have special abilities.
Their wisdom, which has grown through many decades, and their
experience can give us human beings special knowledge to put us in
the position of once again bringing our life into harmony with na-
ture. Like gigantic antennas, their mighty crowns (still) reach up to
the heavens, from which they receive many types of energies. Their
leaves are like highly sensitive antennas, suited for responding to
almost any kind of vibrations. Large trees have become increasingly
few in number, the rain forests are systematically or even just
thoughtlessly cut down, many wonderful forms of life—plants and
animals—are disappearing with them. I don't know if we human be-
ings can comprehend on time what we are doing to ourselves and
our environment with this “clear-cutting” throughout the world. But
T hope we will. In addition to political commitment, a change in per-
sonal behavior, and enlightenment work such as the Rainbow Reiki
energy work can provide an important contribution to maintaining
our mutual basis for life. After you have visited a tree on the subtle
level, spoken with it, and experienced its friendliness and wisdom,
you will treat plant life in a different way. We can make Reiki avail-
able to the forests so that they can better survive the high degree of

90
strain in our age, and we can support the subtle beings responsible
for the plants, the devas and elves in the mastering of their tasks with
our possibilities.

d. Clearings
If clearings are formed naturally, the reason may be a strongly im-
balanced Earth emanation, which is basically nothing “evil” but a
type of detoxification place or even an energy-reception point of
high capacity. Places of this type are not suited for people to stay at
for a longer period of time. But they can also represent one of the
many Earth chakras. In this case, the clearing will be full of life and
practically invite you to stay there. Several hours of dreaming to
yourself there can bring your body, mind, and soul back into har-
mony and help reinstate the proper, healthy relationship between re-
laxation and performance in life. Please note: the Earth's chakras can
also be found in places other than natural clearings (see below
under g.). Subtle beings like to meet in clearings at certain times.

e. Bodies of water
Medicinal springs still play a great role in our times. Many baths and
spa facilities are grouped around springs whose healing power has
sometimes been known and valued for centuries. However, modern
spa doctors are more concerned about certain contents and their ef-
fects on the metabolism in the biological-chemical sense. Yet, the wa-
ter of some wells has much more to offer. It's no coincidence that sa-
gas, fairy-tales, and legends are centered on bodies of water in general
and springs in particular. For the Earth, water is a means of solution
and transportation that receives all types of energies and substances in
endless natural rhythms when they have become superfluous in one
place and takes them to places where there is still an unfulfilled need
for them. Some subtle beings like to establish their refuges at springs,
ponds, or watercourses. Water generally promotes communication.
(Think of drinks at celebrations and parties.) In society, as well as in
the body of the individual, it permits information to flow more easily.
The flow of emotions also has a strong affinity to water. In traditional
Chinese medicine, a correlation between the two was already estab-
lished centuries ago. Perhaps this is why vacation spots “on the water”
are so popular because it's easier here to get the vital forces constricted
by everyday life flowing again.

f. Mountains
The Earth, the Great Mother, establishes connect with the sky, the
Great Father, through the mountains. This is why mountain tops are
particularly suited for achieving clarity, for inspiration and the pro-

2a
motion of creative power, as well as strengthening individuality,
self-confidence, and self-respect. For some Indian tribes it is still
common today to request the personal vision, an ideal for the mean-
ing and goal of one's own path in life,-within the scope of a special
ritual called vision quest from the powers of the heavens on the top
of a mountain or a plateau. If you become lost in the jungle of your
everyday life, you can help yourself by going to the mountains and
coming closer to their power on long walks there. With their help,
you can once again attain a better perspective. Difficulties are again
put into the proper proportions in comparison to pleasant experi-
ences, and some whales turn into guppies.
Since earliest times, certain mountains have been considered
holy. Whoever has made the effort of hiking through the mountain
world of the Alps, for example, and felt their powerful emanation,
will be able to confirm this from his own experience. In Europe,
particularly the Celts often maintained altars, temples, and spiritual
centers on mountains, hills, and cliffs in order to come closer to their
gods. The ancient Greeks were convinced that Olympus—a high
mountain located in Greece—was the home of their gods. Even to-
day, the names of many rises in the countryside give evidence of
their earlier spiritual tasks.

g. Earth chakras and Earth acupuncture points

Just like human beings, animals, and plants, the Earth also has a subtle
energy system. As a result, there are Earth chakras that organize and
represent the life functions of our planet on the energetic level; there
are communication channels (meridians) that connect these energy
centers with each other and naturally also points on these conductive
paths that have a function for the Earth similar to that of acupuncture
points for the human body. The entire body of the Earth is crossed by
these energy networks and intersecting points. When subtle vibrations
concentrated in one place are sucked into the Earth, this is called a
negative Earth-emanation zone. The pendulum usually shows a
counterclockwise direction here. Human beings and many animals
experience health disorders more quickly than in other places.
Chronic and degenerative imbalances are promoted here in particular.
Constant tiredness, fatigue, and a weakening of the immune system
can be the consequences. If energy is transported out of the Earth to a
more extensive degree, it is usually a so-called positive Earth-emana-
tion zone. A pendulum will normally swing clockwise. It is not easy to
sleep or generally achieve a state of rest here. Nervousness, irritability,
and restlessness will occur after some time.

 How You Can Meaningfully Work
with Power Places

When working with power places it is important to approach them in

a way that permits you to feel their individuality and always ad-
equate time for you to become accustomed to their emanation, al-
ways offering a different way of establishing contact. Practically
every power place likes to work with human beings if they don't
trample on it in a disrespectful, egoistic, and insensitive manner.
There is a big difference between whether you just want to go for a
walk in lovely surroundings or if you approach a power place with
the intention of any type of energetic work. When you go for a walk,
you only have to be concerned with the matters of environmental
protection that are quite obvious in our times such as: not making a
lot of noise and startling the animals, not pulling plants out of the
ground, and not leaving any garbage in the middle of nature. There
is no power place and no subtle being that will be angry with you if
you simply want to enjoy the natural environment. But if you want
healing, knowledge, help in solving problems or developing your
personality, and the like, you should stick to the rules for establish-
ing contact. You will learn how to approach a power place in a com-
petent way in the next section. Read through it carefully and follow
these rules, which have been valid and functioning for millennia.
Then you will achieve the best results in your work with power ~
places. It is thoroughly possible to even establish contact with power
places and maintain a relationship satisfactory to both sides using
the First Degree. I have described the methods necessary for this
purpose under the heading “If you have been initiated into the First
Degree.” The higher level of work with power places will open up
for you on the Reiki path through the Second Degree. You will find
the details on this under the heading “If you have been initiated into
the Second Degree."

Basic Exercises for Power-Place Work

With some simple exercises, you can develop your abilities of per-
ceiving power places and communicating with them.
Exercise 1: Finding positive and negative Earth-
emanation zones in your living space
For this exercise, you need about a half hour. Be sure you have peace
and quiet so that you can open up to this new type of perception

3
without being disturbed. If you have been initiated into the First De-
gree, give yourself about 10:minutes of Reiki on the first and second
major chakras.*° These two energy center are not the Inner Child, but
it can be indirectly strengthened through them. This is how you can
show that you want to have contact with it and are there for it.
If you have been initiated into the Second Degree, establish con-
tact with your Inner Child through distance Reiki. For this purpose,
use the distance-treatment signs and the energy-intensification
signs, as well as the corresponding mantras you have learned, and
clearly direct the Reiki by calling the “Inner Child of (your first and
last name).” Turn your hands away from your body and don't try to
visualize your Inner Child. Intensify the flow of Reiki a number of
times and wait to see what happens. After several minutes, request
your Inner Child to assist you in your following plans, even if it
hasn't made itself noticeable in a spectacular way. If you correctly
establish contact as described here, it will receive your request.
The Inner Child is the part of you that controls the subtle senses
and possibilities of action. If you strengthen it through indirect offer-
ings of Reiki (First Degree) or through a direct Reiki treatment (dis-
tance contact), it can more effectively apply its abilities and better
communicate with you. Don't expect your Inner Child to speak to
you in words. Its way of communicating is through images, physical
sensations, and other sensory perceptions. It doesn't think in a logi-
cal-rational manner, but in patterns, symbols, and comprehensive
correlations. It doesn't master its tasks through work, but by playing
creatively.
Now close your eyes and request that you can feel a place that is
good for you in the room where you are. Without giving it much
thought, go to this place. Stay there for about 10 minutes. Perceive
the changes that happen in your physical sensations, your emotions,
and your mind when you are there. Don't expect anything in particu-
lar so you won't have a filter in front of your senses. Also take per-
ceptions seriously that are less than spectacular. Don't try to interpret
them, just experience them.
Next, ask your Inner Child to show you another place in the
room that's not good for you. Go to this spot, but only stay as long as
you need to in order to perceive the difference to your “little power
place” where you previously were. Then go back to the place where
you felt good for a while in order to once again become harmonized.
Don't forget to take leave of the contact if you have used a Second
Degree connection.

“See the Appendix “A Brief Explanation of the Chakras” for the position of the major chakras.

94
You can integrate this little exercise into your everyday life with
great benefit to yourself. Look for places to work and rest that sup-
port you and avoid places that weaken your strength as much as pos-
sible. The more you do this, the easier it will be for you. With time,
your perception will become refined and you will increasingly have
the ability to differentiate between the various emanations of the
Earth and their greater and lesser intensity. If the subtle impressions
should become too much for you at some point, then breath calmly
and deeply into your lower belly, just below your navel, for about 15
minutes or longer. This is where your hara, a type of collecting place
for energies, is located. If you focus your attention on this spot (the
exact location of which you don't need to know down to the
millimeter in order to work with it effectively) for a longer period of
time, you will quickly be with yourself. You will then find inner
peace and be able to collect yourself. Resting within oneself by
shifting the attention to the hara is an important technique for deal-
ing with subtle energy work with a balanced approach in the long
run. Observe animals and their favorite spots with this new type of
perception. Some animals like emanation qualities that are similar to
those you prefer, and others practically look for negative vibrations.
Ants, for example, like to build their nests in places with Earth radia-
tion harmful to human beings. Cats also often lie on zones that have
a negative effect on people and most other mammals. However, in
contrast to ants and many other insects, they are not at home there in
the direct sense because they need these vibrations. Their coat just
insulates them against the energy flow there, and when they want to
be alone, they make use of this ability. Then most other animals
won't disturb them when they rest on such a spot.

Exercise 2: Drawing a power place

Take some colored pencils and a drawing block. Look for an old tree
or some other power place. Feel your way into its emanation with
the senses trained by the first exercise.
If you have the First Degree, give yourself about 15 minutes of
Reiki on your first and second major chakras while doing this.
If you have the Second Degree, establish contact, as described in
the first exercise—with your Inner Child. Then make distance con-
tact with the Higher Self of this place by using the distance-contact
symbol, the energy-intensification symbol, and the corresponding
mantras, as you learned to do in your Second-Degree training. Then
direct the flow of Reiki energy by clearly calling the “Higher Self of
this power place (add the name of the place, if possible)” three
times. Intensify the flow of Reiki a number of times.

95
 For both degrees: feel your way into what is happening for a
while. Then, without giving it any thought, take one of the pencils
and start to draw a picture. Let it happen. You will feel when it is
done. Then give thanks and end the contact with the Second Degree
or first put your hands on your heart for a moment and then on the
Earth close to the power place, giving thanks, if you have been initi-
ated into the First Degree.
The exercise “drawing power-place pictures” will develop your
senses and your intuitive understanding of subtle messages even fur-
ther than you have already experienced in the previous chapter with
a similar exercise. Do this on a regular basis, at least once or twice a
week for a longer period of time. It is very important that you don't
think about what you want to draw and don't try to control the proc-
ess that creates the picture with your will. Only when the rational
mind withdraws can your subtle perceptions be correctly translated
through your Inner Child, which controls your body. A meditative
calmness and an opening of the self is what occurs in the process.
Let it happen—resonate with it without doing anything or having to
control anything.
Meditate on your work of art that has been created in this way
every day for several minutes by looking at one of the pictures and
simply letting your thoughts flow freely. If you notice that you are
thinking about something completely different, look at the picture
again and wait to see what associations arise. This is particularly
intense before you go to sleep. Pay attention to your dreams!

When you have carried out both of these exercises a number of

times, you should be well-prepared to open up more to power places
and their emanations, messages, and special abilities. Unfortunately,
I can't tell you exactly how long you will need for this within the
scope of a book. You may need a few weeks or possible even a few
months in order to expand your subtle perception. You will sense
whether or not you are ready. Haste and impatience only cause harm.
Take your time. The path is important.

Exercise 3: Selecting and approaching a power place

For the further exercises, you will need a power place with a greater
capacity such as a large, old tree, a stone circle from the megalith
culture, a holy mountain, or some other cult site. Before you get
closer to this place:

—If you have been initiated into the First Degree, give yourself
about 15 minutes of Reiki on the Ist and 2nd major chakra and

96
 then about 5 minutes of Reiki on the 6th chakra (third eye) and the
4th chakra (heart center).
—If you have been initiated into the Second Degree, give your Inner
Child Reiki through the distance contact, as described in Exercise
1. Now additionally establish a Reiki contact to your Higher Self
through distance contact by using the distance-treatment symbol
and the energy-intensification symbol, as well as the correspond-
ing mantras, as you have learned to do. Clearly direct the flow of
the Reiki energy by using calling the “Higher Self of (add your
first and last name)". Turn the palms of your hands away from
your body and don't expect anything in particular. Above all, don't
try to imagine a picture of your Higher Self. If you do so, it will
limit its possibilities of communicating with you or helping you in
some other way. Let things happen as they want to happen.

For both degrees: Ask your Higher Self and your Inner Child in your
thoughts or out loud for their support and their protection in your
plan of establishing contact with the chosen power place. Only take
leave of this Second-Degree distance contact when you have again
left the power place at the end of your work and are out of its area of
emanation area. If you have been initiated into the First Degree, take
leave at the end of the power-place work and give thanks. Now feel
your way into what has changed for a moment. Don't expect any-
thing spectacular. Practical energy work isn't necessarily like what
you have seen in fantasy films at first... Now approach the center of
the power place.

Recognizing and Learning to Use the

Various Working Areas of a Power Place

Every larger place of power has various zones, which respectively

perceive certain functions in the contact with the others. Within this,
I differentiate between the following:

The emanation boundary

Here is the outer boundary of the effective area of a power place.
There are frequently watercourses, trenches, field borders, paths, or
a different type of vegetation there where the invisible boundary of
the immediate emanation of a power place runs. When you have
crossed these lines and adjusted yourself to the subtle perceptions,
you will suddenly notice a distinctly stronger intensity in the emana-
tion of the power place. Go back and forth a few times in order to

oF
become 1nore certain in the perception of the emanation boundary.
The distance of this boundary from the center of the power place
will vary. For an old tree, it could possibly be about 100 meters or
less. When I visited the ashram*! of Sathya Sai Baba” in the vicinity
of the Indian city of Bangladore, I felt the emanation boundary in a
clear increase of a strong, light vibration already at a distance of
more than 20 kilometers. In some cases, the emanation boundary of
a power place is flexible. It can shift in connection with the moon
cycles or seasons, for example.
If you have reached the emanation boundary, make contact with
the Higher Self of this place as in Exercise 2, if you have been initi-
ated into the Second Degree. If you have been initiated into the First
Degree, simply feel your way into your surroundings for a moment
and put your hands on the area of your heart.

For both degrees, say the following in your thoughts or out loud:

I come to you as an unhealthy person and request healing. I come

to you as an ignorant person and ask for teaching. I come to you
as a helpless person and ask for support and protection. I come to
you as a powerless person and ask for power in order to better
serve. In return for your help, I offer you Reiki.

Be clear about the meaning of this way of addressing the place

and think about it time and again before you make deeper contact
with a place of power. Then use the energy-intensification of the
Second Degree in distance contact with the Higher Self of the place
or place your hands on the Earth for several minutes if you have the
First Degree.
Now it's time to move closer to the center of the power place.

The inner area

When you have gone a bit further, you will again feel a distinct in-
crease in the emanation of the place. Try to perceive the boundary as
precisely as you can, take some steps back and forth and pay atten-
tion to the change that results. Then finally go into the inner area and
use some further intensification signs in order to let even more Reiki
flow to the Higher Self of the place or, if you have been initiated into
the First Degree, again place your hands on the Earth for several
minutes so that Reiki can flow to the power place. Open yourself for
what is happening. It could be that the guardian of the place is now

already willing to start working with you, even if you haven't ex-
pressed a concrete wish yet. You can perhaps notice this in a flowing
and streaming, a feeling of warmth or coldness. Blocked feelings
can rise within you quite unexpectedly and want to express them-
selves in physical terms. Let this happen. This is among the gifts
from a power place that it frees you from blocks in order to create
space for a new liveliness within you.

The path of opening up/letting go

The more you now approach the center of the emanation, the most
important it becomes for the success of the power-place work that
you open up. Observe the plants, listen to the rushing of the wind
and the voices of the animals. Surrender yourself to the mood of this
special area and believe in your feelings. It's completely normal for
you to feel insecurity or fear or for your rational mind to constantly
rebel and try to make it clear to you that what you are doing is non-
sense. Be inside your own feelings and be critical, and let new expe-
riences happen. Then you have the best precondition for close work
with a power place on the basis of equality.
Later, when you have finished the work, if possible, return on the
same path that you came on and use it to achieve an inner distance
from the power place and once again become more conscious of the
everyday human world. Direct your attention to areas and events
outside of the emanation area. Give thanks in your mind or out loud
for what you have received and request that you will once again be
accepted there when it is time for you to return. The path of opening
up/letting go is responsible for the cleansing of your energy field.
When you come, you will be freed of many vibrations that could
have hindered you from opening up to the power piace. When you
go, the power place helps you once again structure your aura in the
way required for the everyday world of human beings.
But first go back into the vibration of the place once again.

The place of greeting

Let yourself be led by the guardian of the place, who now has be-
come more familiar with you, to a suitable place of greeting for you.
Request guidance in your mind or quietly out loud and then walk
around, without thinking much about it, until you have the feeling
you should stop. Stop at this spot. You can sit down, lie down, or
even remain standing. It isn't important for what now will happen. If
you have been initiated into the Second Degree, intensify the flow of
the Reiki energy im the distance contact a number of times. In the
First Degree, place one hand on your heart and the other on the
Earth. Now request acceptance. It will take some minutes, some-

99
times perhaps even more than a half hour, before the guardian of the
power place has increased and modified your vibration to the point
that it has largely been adapted to its own. This process is necessary
to improve the communication between the two of you and open up
more possibilities for the power place to help you. It may be neces-
sary to visit the same place a number of times until your vibration
can be intensified and structured in the manner required for a more
complex working relationship without doing any harm to you. Be
patient if this is the case. Alone through this increasing adaptation,
completely new areas will open up to you. Your mind will become
clearer, your senses will become sharper, and, if you permit it, rising
feelings will be physically expressed and many blocks that hinder
the flow of your vital energies will be dissolved. Many people have
reported that after this attunement—please don't confuse this with
an initiation—they were able to perceive colors, sounds, smells, and
physical sensations in a new, often previously unknown intensity
and clarity. It is possible that you will get a bit of a queasy feeling in
your stomach or become slightly dizzy during an attunement proce-
dure. Perhaps you will also begin to laugh or suddenly feel like you
are safe and sound in God's trouser pocket. If you are well-attuned to
a power place, you might possibly see dancing elves, hear the song
of the flowers and trees, and be able to observe dwarfs. Be respectful
and don't impose yourself. Wait until a subtle being approaches you
and establishes contact with you on its own.**
If you should now want to shut this book because you possibly
believe there is something missing in terms of my mental health,
please wait just one more moment and give me and you a chance.
Don't believe anything I say. Carefully try out what I have explained
here and you will probably soon tell your best friends, when you are
alone together, something about the wonderful, strange, and yet
somehow so deeply familiar experiences that you have had.
It is once again time for human beings and the beings of the sub-
tle world, of nature, and the elements to come together in peace. The
Age of Aquarius is beginning, and many things will be different—it
will be a bit like earlier days in ancient times, of which the fairytales
tell so much. We usually no longer believe in this as adults. Yet, you
can now experience it yourself and help others have similar experi-
ences. Take the first step. Have faith in yourself. The powers of light
and love will help you because they have a great interest in this
world once again becoming more intact.

Remember to carefully remove everything made of iron or steel before you enter into closer
contact with one of these beings.

100
 Places with special functions within
the working area of the power place
When the attunement has ended, request out loud or in your thoughts
that the power place help you in solving one of your important per-
sonal problems or, if you currently have nothing urgent on your
mind, simply request its support in developing your own ability to
be happy. Then ask to be shown a spot suitable for your plan. Walk
on, without thinking much about it, until you have the feeling that
you should stop. Now let the power place work with you. Nothing
bad will happen to you in the objective sense, yet it is possible that
you will feel emotional or physical pain for a short time. This indi-
cates that blocks are being dissolved and firmly-held energies are
starting to flow. The more you open up for this, the more honest you
are, the deeper the help of the power place can work within you. If it
becomes too much for you, tell this out loud or mentally to the
guardian of the place. It will respect your decision. Remember that
Rome wasn't built in one day either. Extensive changes need time.
Often you will only be deeply relaxed, perhaps even fall asleep and
wake up refreshed and somehow more clear and alive as a result of
its intervention. You will only later discover some results in your
everyday life.
It can be very interesting if you examine the power place with a
pendulum and determine which of its areas have a special effect on
your chakras or meridians. But don't get hung up on such research
results. In their many different qualities, the subtle energies are far
from being researched extensively enough by human beings in order
for us to truly be able to understand everything that happens at a
power place. We can hardly approach this with our rational minds.
But this is also great fun and very exciting, and it will expand your
world view.
If you would like to have a present for a friend blessed by a
power place, want to have a couple relationship confirmed in a spir-
itual manner, or would like to celebrate the party of the century, re-
quest the guardian of the place to give you information on the spot
most suitable for the respective purpose, for its help and hospitality.
The parties created in this manner will be an unforgettable experi-
ence for you and possible others who participate.

The place to take leave

If you have the feeling that the guardian of the place would like to
end the work with you or if you yourself would like to stop, give
thanks for what you have received. Then request a place in which
you can complete your attunement to the “normal” vibrational level.
Look for it intuitively, as you now are perhaps used to doing, with-

101
out giving it much thought. If you have been initiated into the Sec-
ond Degree, intensify the flow of the Reiki energy in the distance
contact a number of times. In the First Degree, place one hand on
your heart and the other on the Earth. Now request that you once
again be attuned to your everyday vibration. Wait a bit until you
have the feeling that you are again “more in reality” or that the proc-
ess has been completed. Then go slowly and consciously the “path
of opening up/letting go” and gradually detach your attention from
the emanation of the power place. When you are on the boundary of
the inner area, take leave from the Higher Self of the power place, as
you have learned to do if you have been initiated into the First De-
gree. Give thanks for its attention and ask to be permitted to come to
it again. If you have been initiated into the First Degree, place one
hand on your heart and the other on the Earth, give thanks, and also
ask to be accepted again for following visits. Take leave from your
Inner Child and your own Higher Self, if you have been in contact
with them through the Second Degree, only when you are on the
emanation boundary. In the First Degree, put your hands together in
front of your heart, simply give thanks, bow, and feel within yourself
for a moment.

After you have read this section, you are now familiar with a
complete and diverse basic program of power-place work with
Rainbow Reiki. There are naturally many, many other things you
could do in connection with power places, but you should first, in as
far as this is possible for you, do practical work with the exercises
described here and gather experiences. Much will be taught to you
by the power places themselves. For other things you may need hu-
man teachers. You will find them when the time is really right and
you are willing to learn.

102
 Gifts You Can Receive
from a Power Place

You can receive a series of energetic or even material types of gifts

from power places. They can be deep mystical experiences, sudden
insights, healings, knowledge, as well as leaves, stones, sand,
branches, and similar tangible things. Sometimes the powers of a
place ask you to bring drawing materials with you on your next visit
because they would like to put a picture on paper through you. Per-
haps you will have the desire to sing or dance while at a power place.
Go ahead and do it, even if you have a strange feeling about it at
first. Many people have had wonderful, healing experiences in this
manner. When I need a power song, a mantra, a dance or drum ritual
for my work or for myself privately, I frequently visit power places
that I have been familiar with for a long time, attune myself to them,
explain my plans to them, and request that they help me. As a result,
I have learned much that has given joy to myself and others, as well
as being very useful.
Be very careful about never cutting or tearing anything from liv-
ing trees or other plants. Don't pick any flowers and don't pull out
any plants. Only take a pebble or any other stone with you if it has
literally been placed before your feet, and still ask in addition if it is
for you and to be taken with you. In no case should you knock mate-
rial out of a cliff or cave. You can take anything that has fallen off,
but don't forget to give thanks for it and, in First Degrée give Reiki to
the Earth of the power place or have an extra portion of universal life
energy sent to the Higher Self of the place with the Second Degree
distance contact through the intensification technique as an ex-
change.
Treat the natural powers and subtle beings in general and places
of power in particular with respect, attention, thankfulness, and
modesty. Then you will have wonderful experiences with them and
receive fantastic presents.

Cross-Linking Power Places

with Each Other
When you have done power-place work for a longer period of time,
it can happen that one of these places requests you to help it repair
the Earth's communication lines that have been torn apart. Then you
should, for example, take a stone, the water from a spring, plant

103
Holistic environmental protection also includes energy work

104
seeds like acorns or chestnuts, or something else from one place and
bring it to another power place. These things are needed to set up
new transmission and reception stations for the transference of sub-
tle information and power. With this, you can provide a very great
service for the beings responsible for reestablishing harmony in our
world. The more and the better the energy networks between the
subtle centers of Mother Earth are connected, the more effectively
the diverse types of environmental damage in our time can be
headed off and perhaps even repaired at some point. Power places of
all types function better when they are connected with others and in
loving company. Just like human beings.

How You Can Set Up a Power Place

At the conclusion of this chapter, there is still one special bonus for
you. However, you can only carry it out if you have been initiated
into the Second Reiki Degree. Now you can learn how to establish
power places on your own. You naturally don't have to just depend
on yourself to do so. That is beyond human possibilities. But the
guardians of many existing, larger power places and other subtle
friends are glad to help you carry out such plans if your intentions
are pure and all beings with whom you are involved will experience
something good in the sense of the cosmic laws. How do you do
this?
First, while following the ritual described above, go to a power
place with which you have worked for a longer period of time. Ex-
plain your wish to establish a new power place when you are there.
Describe the place that you have selected for this purpose. Ask if it is
suitable. If not, ask for guidance in finding a better one. Then ask for
something to create the linking of the new power place to be built
with the one that already exists. Take these messages with you and
bring them to the place chosen to be the new power place as soon as
possible. Using the technique described above, make contact with
your Inner Child, your Higher Self, and the Higher Self responsible
for the area selected. Explain your intentions to these three and ask
for their support. Then make contact with the Higher Self of the
power place from which you have brought the message. Now bury
the object at the place or put it there in a way that is lasting and
concealed from unknowing access there. Request the blessing of the
creative force for this plan by lifting your left hand to the heavens
and placing the right hand on the ground of the power place. Then
also ask Mother Earth for her blessing by bringing the palms of both
hands into contact with the ground. Then, place one hand—it doesn't

105
matter which one—on your heart, stretch out the other arm with the
palm of the hand turned away from you. Say out loud while you
slowly turn around your own axis clockwise one time:

I ask for the assistance, the protection, and the guidance of the
powers of light and love, the beings of nature and the elements.
Everyone is welcome here who seeks healing and knowledge, pro-
tection and help, loving care and power to better serve the good of
the Creation or who would like to give support to these intentions.

Leave one hand on your heart and place the palm of the other hand
on your forehead, on your third eye. Feel what is happening within
yourself and around yourself for a moment. Now stretch out the arm
whose hand was placed on your heart. While doing this, turn the
palms of the hands outwards, away from your body. Continue to
keep the other hand on your forehead. Now turn slowly around
counterclockwise and say out loud while doing this:

May the blessing of the life forces be here for all eternity, may this
place be in the light of love and bring blessing to those whose are
dedicated to the power of good. May this place be closed on the
subtle levels for everyone and everything that does not support,
recognize, and protect the universal order. So be it with the ap-
proval of the heavens and the Earth for now and for always, for
everything and for everyone.

Now place both hands on your forehead, close your eyes, and feel
what happens. If you like, simply remain for a while at this new
power place, surrender yourself to the gradual increase of the vibra-
tion in its surroundings, and rejoice with the subtle powers and be-
ings of nature at this new light center. When you go, be sure to stick
to the power-place ritual described above. When you return to visit
this place again, remember that it is now a fully valid power place
and act accordingly.

During the next six months, and naturally longer if you like,
make contact with the Higher Self of the new power place time and
again and provide it with Reiki energy. This is very important, par-
ticularly in the development phase. It's especially good to create
such a power place with a group of like-minded people and work
together with it.

106
 Why New Power Places
Should Be Established
New power places can be established at the meeting places of spir-
itual groups, in seminar centers, and, if you like, naturally also in
your yard or in a park if you live in a city. However, they can also
have beneficial effects in other places.
Today there are so many regions in our world that urgently could use
more contact with the subtle powers and their healing possibilities.
These may be power plants or waste dumps, the places in which
political or economic decisions of great scope are made, or those in
which drug dealers do their dirty business and dangerous drugs are
consumed, limiting people in their freedom and destroying their
health. The problems of our world are often so complicated that
there perhaps are no direct, conventional solutions for them.

Our most important problems cannot be solved on the same level

in which we have created them. (Albert Einstein)

Structures must be changed, values transformed, and the abilities of

consciousness, personal responsibility, and the ability to love must
be continually developed. With Rainbow Reiki you can help. Estab-
lish new power places at the focal points of difficulties or close to
them and look after them. Activate and strengthen the existing
places of power. Work together with the Higher Selves, the subtle
beings, and the powers of light, love, nature, and the elements for
global transformation. They need us human beings in order to be-
come extensively and lastingly active on this level of existence. We
need them because we cannot solve the problems that we have cre-
ated or cannot solve them satisfactorily enough on our own. This
work with the life forces should not take the place of the customary
environmental protection and other efforts to let the world and eve-
rything on it become more intact. My dream is a holistic concept that
includes anything that could help.
Do you want to dream with me? Do you want to have these
dreams come true? The tools and the know-how are waiting for you.
Use them with much fairness, integrity, and as well as you can.
Many hands are necessary. Much must be done in order to once
again give the creative force a place on Earth. Let's get started. Now!

 CHAPTER SIX

Reiki Essences
A New Method for Discovering
the Healing Powers
of Nature for Yourself

This chapter is probably the most important one for you in this book.
It deals with a (r)evolutionary new method of Second Degree Reiki:
how to make substances effective exclusively on the energetic level
that can, in a diversity of ways, help anyone who takes them or rubs
them in. I call these substances that work on the subtle level Reiki
Essences. Their effectiveness is not just because of Reiki alone, but
also the healing patterns of etheric forces that are suited for exten-
sively regulating, harmonizing, and permitting vital processes to
develop. Even just making these remedies is a bit of healing for the
person who does this.

The History of Reiki Essences

After my initiation into the Second Degree, I experimented a great
deal with the extensive tool kit of this level of training, as I have
previously mentioned. New approaches for working with this
method soon developed from my research on Reiki mental healing.
One of these was the direct clearing of selected areas of the mental
level** in minerals, liquids, and other substances. One initial practi-

*4 Within the context of the Second Reiki Degree, the mental level is the area of the human mind
that automatically, and for the most part unconsciously, processes our sensory impressions (hear-
ing, seeing, feeling, smelling, and tasting) and initiates reactions of a mental, emotional, ener-
getic, or physical type according to given patterns. The programs existing on the mental level are
very useful if they take the requirements of our everyday life into consideration. As a result, the
conscious portion of the human being obtains the space to deal with new experiences. They be-
come a hindrance, sometimes even dangerous, when reactions that were important a long time
ago, such as during childhood, continue to be produced in adulthood and thereby limit a person's
competence to that of an earlier age in a certain situations in life. Compulsive revolting against
authority, thoughtless subjection, many fears and addictions are examples of older programs that
are no longer suited to the current situation in life. Compare this with my comments in Reiki—
Way of the Heart, Lotus Light.

109
cal result was the Reiki amulet with stones cleared by special Reiki
methods, exercising a harmonizing and healing effect on the person
who wears it. However, it wasn't possible to awaken the more exten-
sive, deeper powers in the materials with these methods alone.
Because of this, I kept on searching and found the solution for intro-
ducing differentiated energetic healing powers into material carri-
ers, through which they can be effective on this plane, in old Vedic
and Egyptian writings.

The Theoretic Background

of Reiki Essences

Everything that exists on this level is basically a more or less filtered

emanation of patterns originating in other dimensions of the Crea-
tion. God contains everything that is. The vibrations that communi-
cate with each other to some degree in various forms for certain
lengths of time, but never for eternity, come from Him. On the levels
of separation, to which our plane of existence also belongs, there are
many relationships between the individual parts of the Creation, the
effects of which can either contribute to or prevent its development.
If there are strong obstacles to development, then a being's struc-
tures that carry the vital forces on its level of existence suffer as a
result. In order to once again regenerate these, it is meaningful to go
one or more levels higher in the direction of the source of all life and
bring a type of replacement part from there to the level of the dam-
aged structure. The problem in doing so is moving the replacement
part in an undamaged and functional state from one level to the other
and bringing it into the damaged structure in such a way that the
lasting “repair” is guaranteed. A wonderfully simple and certain way
of doing this in many cases appears to be the tool kits of the Second
Reiki Degree. With it, protected bridges can be built through which
healing patterns can be transported without damage and in full effec-
tiveness to practically every level of the Creation. To do this, noth-
ing material must be destroyed as in many flower essences and ho-
meopathy in order to release these subtle forces.
I differentiate between three levels in the methods explained in
this chapter:
1. The material level, on which we all live and where we are
happy or sad, healthy or sick, and—usually—more or less uncon-
scious in relation to the origin and purpose of our incarnation.
2. The level of the Higher Selves. Every part of the Creation on
this level of existence has a “Higher Self” assigned to it. People and

110
some animals such as dolphins, horses, pigs, and apes have an indi-
vidual Higher Self. Other animals like ants, bees, spiders, as well as
plants and minerals, have Higher Selves that are respectively re-
sponsible for larger groups or the entire race. A Higher Self contains
the life plan of a being. Stored within it are the themes with which it
would like to have experiences in its existence here. The respective
being has decided on these themes before its present incarnation. No
specific destiny is stored within the life plan. There are no stipula-
tions as to who has which experiences with whom and whether hap-
piness or suffering, profit or less is the result. The point of death isn't
contained here and neither is a specific goal in life. The same also
applies here: the path is the goal. However, special individual
strengths and weaknesses are stored here. The degree to which a
person develops and lives out his strengths or cures and protects
weaknesses is always decided by that individual. This is the gift of
freedom that God puts in the cradle of every one of His children.
The original, intact, and individual building plan for every being
is found on the level of the Higher Selves. Many patterns for Reiki
Essences are tapped here so that they can provide the necessary
complicated vibrational patterns on the material level for the re-
creation of harmony. Structures for mastering more extensive life
crises related to the developmental process can't always be obtained
here. When something is required that is truly new for the affected
individual, these forces are then acquired from further levels closer
to the source of life.
3. This is the level of the spiritual teachers, a type of Higher Self
of the Higher Selves. The power animals of the shamans can be
found here, for example, as well as the beings we call angels-or
gods—but please don't confuse these with the One God, the source
of life.

There are further levels of the Creation suitable for making cer-
tain Reiki Essences or with which it is possible to work in this re-
spect. However, a longer, more extensive, and practical involvement
with the second and third level are an absolute precondition for
meaningful contacts with them.

Who Can Make Reiki Essences?

Anyone who has been initiated into the First and Second Degree by
a Reiki Master/Teacher trained in the spiritual line of Usui-Hayashi-
Takata-Furumoto / Dr. Webber-Ray and in the fundamental tech-
niques of energy intensification, mental healing, and distance treat-

111
ment can make Reiki Essences. If you are in doubt about your train-
ing, talk to your Reiki Master and have him explain his line of train-
ing and initiation to you. Here is how to make the actual essences:
First, it's important to prepare yourself so that an optimal trans-
mission of healing powers occurs through you.

Preparing to Make the Reiki Essences

with Reiki and Meditation
The long preparation for making Reiki Essences through Reiki and
meditation exercises explained in this section will probably try your
patience a bit. But in your own interest, please make them exactly
like they are described here. The channels for the enormous subtle
forces required for making the Reiki Essences have high demands.
When you have made the Reiki Essences on a regular basis for some
time, meaning at least one to two per week for three to four months,
such extensive measures beforehand will no longer be necessary.
You will feel it. In case of doubt, play it safe and adequately prepare
yourself. No objective harm can occur to you if you go into the mak-
ing of an essence without preparation. However, it is possible that
the essence won't work or that you experience strong healing reac-
tions. The reason for this can be energetic blocks that sit very firmly.
When they are suddenly dissolved, strong fluctuations of feelings,
increased sensitivity, or trance states can also temporarily occur in
case the energetic power of your hara is inadequate for emotionally
stabilizing you as intensively transmit clarifying vibrations.
When I write a book like this, I must put a great deal of trust in
the reader, which means you, responsibly dealing with the informa-
tion published here. What you do with it is up to you. I can only
show you the way and give you the best map possible as orientation
for the journey—but you have to walk it alone. If you don't take to
heart the map and the directions for the way, the road can become
quite bumpy.
The following steps represent the fundamental preparation for
making Reiki Essences. During this time, please do without coffee,
black tea, alcohol, and at least reduce your nicotine consumption if
you smoke. In terms of your diet, skip pork and reduce the portion of
meat that you eat. Even better would be to eat a vegetarian diet for
this week. Take a walk for at least 30 minutes a day and drink 2 liters
of water. These measures help channel the blocks, waste products,
and metabolic poisons out of you and thereby intensify the effect of
the meditation and Reiki treatment.

LUZ
 Step 1:
a. For one week, give yourself a whole-body treatment with Reiki or
let a friend give you Reiki every day.

b. During this week, carry out an additional hara meditation* for at

least fifteen minutes every day by sitting with a straight back and
properly positioned pelvis on a chair. Your head should be held as if
a thread was attached to the top of it and gently pulled towards the
sky. Now breathe into your lower belly, about two fingers beneath
your navel. This is the approximate location of your hara, a type of
vital-energy reservoir and balancing organ of a subtle nature.
Breathe calmly, deeply, and evenly. Imagine that streams of energy
are flowing into your hara every time you inhale, that they collect
there, and that every time you exhale the depleted energies that
hinder the flow of the life force within you stream out of you and
once again return to the eternal cycle of vital energies. At the end of
every meditation, give yourself about one minute of Reiki on the
lower belly. More doesn't hurt.

c. Give your Higher Self and your Inner Child about 15 minutes of
Reiki every day by way of distance contact. You can treat both of
them separately or also at the same time for this purpose. Even if you
have completed the fundamental preparation for making the Reiki
Essences described here, you should send the two of them at least 15
minutes of distance Reiki once a week in order to maintain and con-
stantly expand the willingness to make this remedy.

Step 2:
In the following week, give yourself a chakra energy balance with
Reiki every morning and evening by placing one hand on the Ist
chakra and the other on the 6th for about five minutes. Then do the
same with the 2nd and Sth, followed by the 3rd and 4th energy
center.

After this phase of preparation, if your are not seriously physi-

cally or psychologically ill, you should be capable of dealing with
making the Reiki Essences. But please be sure not to take on too
much for yourself! First make one essence and then wait two or
three days to see what effect it has on you. If you do well with it, try
using two every day. You should only make more than three es-
35In my training sessions on the Reiki essence method, I use the three-ray meditation, which can
be worked with in a much more effective manner in this context, instead of this. Unfortunately,
you can only learn this through initiation, which I why I describe the hara meditation here. Tran-
scendental meditation or kriya also functions quite well for this purpose.

bye)
sences a day when you have had a great deal of practical experience
with them and your reactions to them.
Directly before making an essence, give yourself a whole-body
treatment with Reiki and carry out the hara meditation for 15 min-
utes. After making one or more essences, repeat the 15-minute hara
meditation and give yourself a chakra balance with Reiki. If you
regularly make essences more than twice a week, a chakra balance
before and about five minutes of the hara meditation afterwards are
enough.
If you don't make any Reiki Essences for a longer period of time,
but you would like to be ready to do so without any extensive meas-
ures and have completed the basic preparation described above, give
yourself a whole-body treatment with Reiki every week and carry
out the hara meditation for about 15 minutes once along with it (see
Step 1).

Making Reiki Essences in General

You will need a suitable carrier substance for the following tech-
nique. I most often use white refined sugar. Brown sugar will do, but
it usually doesn't accept as well as white sugar. Instead of sugar, you
can also use water. Water from the tap is okay if it is filtered. Don't
use distilled water! If you want to store the liquid essence for a
longer period of time, don't forget to preserve it with alcohol. You
can get 90% alcohol for this purpose in any pharmacy. If you have
worked with Bach Flower Essences, you will be familiar with this. If
you want to play it safe, boil the water and the container for the Reiki
essence in advance. The essences—whether solid or liquid—can be
kept in the dropper bottles available at pharmacies in various sizes.
If you want to make a Reiki Essence ointment, sweet almond oil or
jojoba oil are well-suited for this purpose. Pharmacies and alterna-
tive cosmetic stores have these products and the proper containers to
keep them in.
Keep in mind that you shouldn't make portions that are too small.
The same amount of time, about 30 minutes, and Reiki needed to
create 25 ml of Reiki Essence is also enough to make 250 ml. For
more than a half liter, double the amount of time. This will then be
enough for up to 2 liters of essence. However, you will seldom need
this much since the Reiki Essences are used sparingly.
About five hours before you make a Reiki Essence, don't drink
any alcohol or the like. For about one hour before, don't eat any
chocolate or drink chocolate milk. Stop smoking and don't drink any
more black tea or coffee. Wait at least one hour after you have made

114
the essence before you consume alcohol or the like and at least 30
minutes before you smoke, drink coffee or black tea. Before the
preparation, you should wash your hands with soap and water up to
about the middle of your lower arm.

Step 1: Charging the giver pattern

Using the distance-treatment symbol and the energy-intensification
symbol, as well as the corresponding mantas, initiation a Reiki dis-
tance treatment. Direct the flow of energy by calling the recipient's
name three times. Hold the palms of your hands turned away from
you, and don't visualize anything in particular regarding the recipi-
ent, which is normally a Higher Self. If you see something in front of
your inner eye, that's fine. If not, that's okay as well. Request coop-
eration. Explain your intentions of making a lastingly effective
Reiki Essence on a certain theme (which you should describe as
briefly and precisely as possible) to the giver of the healing pattern.
Then request to have its healing pattern made available to you. In
exchange, offer it Reiki and intensify the flow of Reiki several times
through the corresponding symbol and its mantra. Continue to re-
quest support, loving care, and protection when making the Reiki
Essence. Then give the recipient Reiki for at least 15 minutes. The
power on the other end of the line will often inform you on its own
when the charging is adequate. Thank it.

Step 2: Channeling healing powers

Now attach a mental-healing symbol and an energy-intensification
symbol over the carrier substance. Use the corresponding mantras to
activate the signs and then say the name of the carrier substance
either out loud or in your mind three times. For example: “This wa-
ter, this water, this water.” The type of container that the carrier sub-
stance is in or its material isn't important for the success of energy
transmission. However, to store it for a longer period of time, you
should use one made of glass.
Now request the force that you have called to send the healing
vibrational pattern. Wait until the energy has flowed completely
through you into the carrier substance. You will feel that it is fin-
ished by a subsiding of the flowing or another clear sign. However,
the process should generally be completed after a maximum of 20
minutes. If you should be interrupted while you are making the es-
sence and have to remove your hands and do something else, again
start at the beginning of establishing contact and charging.
Now the new Reiki Essence is finished and ready to be used.

NGbe)
 Reiki Essence Dosage
To take it orally, please dilute the Reiki Essence made according to
the process described above in a relationship of 1:20 for people who
react very slowly and of 1:100 or more for people who easily react to
subtle healing forces. One to five drops daily, distributed throughout
the day, can be taken over a longer period of time to achieve the
desired results. In case of doubt, it's better to use a lower dosage and
stronger dilution. People who have never taken a Reiki Essence
should have just one drop in a glass of water and drink it distributed
the period of one day. Then wait for about 14 days and carefully
observe the reactions. It's quite possible that this dose is totally ad-
equate for the respective person. If nothing has happened, check to
see whether the essence was the correct one since if the quality given
to the person isn't the proper one, it naturally won't do anything. If
it's the right one, slowly increase the dose and pay attention to the
reactions.
To rub it in, dilute the charged Reiki Essence to a relationship of
at least 1:50. As needed, use one or more times daily. If the person
has never used a Reiki Essence, only rub it in once and wait 14 days
for the reactions.
You can also compare the issue of dosage with the report of the
experiences by the healing practitioner and Reiki Master, Anne Witt
in the Appendix Two.
Please observe: For about three hours directly after the first ad-
ministration of a Reiki Essence, the person given the treatment
shouldn't do any activity that requires powers of concentration and a
normal state of consciousness. An example of this would be driving
a motor vehicle or operating heavy machinery. It has sometimes
been observed that a type of healing trance occurs within this stated
period of time. This isn't a drug trip, but is based on the sudden re-
lease of strong subtle energies and the healing restructuring in the
body, mind, and energy system that they cause. When we know how
the affected person reacts to the respective Reiki Essence, would can
tailor it more individually. However, in case of doubt, play it safe.

Examples of Preparation and Effect

of Various Reiki Essences
1. Making Transformation Essences and their effects
Transformation Essences are usually created through the contact with
the Higher Self of an individual, usually the maker of the essence.

116
Process:*°

Step 1: Establish contact using the distance-treatment symbol and

the energy-intensification symbol, as well as the corresponding
mantras.

Step 2: Clearly direct the flow of energy by stating the name of the
recipient—Higher Self of (your first and last name, Higher Self of
(your first and last name, Higher Self of (your first and last name)—
three times. Keep the palms of your hands turned away from you
with the intention of finding your subtle partner there somewhere
and don't visualize anything in particular about the recipient.

Step 3: Respectfully request it to support your intentions of making

a lasting Reiki Essence with an effect, such as “joy in living", and
offer Reiki in return for it.

Step 4: Send distance Reiki to the Higher Self for about 15 minutes
to give it the power to bring the healing pattern to this plane through
you.

Step 5: Attach a mental-treatment symbol and an energy-intensifi-

cation symbol over the carrier substance, sugar, for example, and
use the corresponding mantras in order to active the signs.

Step 6: Clearly direct the mental healing by stating the name of the
carrier substance three times—for example: this sugar, this sugar,
this sugar, and looking at it.

Step 7: Ask your subtle partner to now put the healing energy pat-
tern into the carrier substance through you.

Step 8: Wait until the stream of energy has flowed through you com-
pletely. According to my experience, this practically always happens
after about 20 minutes.

Step 9: Thank the giver of the healing pattern, ask it to work with
you again the next time, and correctly end the distance contact. Jn no
case should you maintain it during the entire period of time required
for the complete creation of a Reiki Essence!

6Also compare with “Making Reiki Essences in General,” further above.

117
 Examples of Proven
Transformation Essences

As an impulse for you, now I'll give a more detailed explanation of

some of the Transformation Essences and list a series of other inter-
esting essences of this type without explaining their details. You can
also compare these with the Pendulum Tables in the Appendix.

Energy Balance
This essence dissolves imbalanced collections of vital energy that
aren't chronic within a relatively short time and thereby promotes
the balanced, natural flow of the vital forces, making it easier to
work with the deeper blocks and disharmonies. Useful for shock,
life crises of all types, fear, emotional imbalance, travel sickness,
headache, and digestive disturbances, as well as intensive healing
reactions. This is similar to the Rescue Remedy of the Bach Flowers
in many respects.

Basic Trust
Some people are lacking in the fundamental trust in life. This es-
sence can help to promote the deep trust that is necessary to be
happy, deal with all types of problems in a more relaxed manner, and
not let oneself be thrown out of an inner attitude of security in the
turbulence of everyday life.

Joy in Living
This essence supports the ability to be joyful, to play, and happily
enjoy yourself like a child. In contrast to most other essences that I
know of, it works quite quickly and effectively for many people.
After you have taken it, don't drive a car or do anything requiring a
great degree of seriousness for three to four hours. When you have
gathered more experience with this remedy, you will know how to
best deal with it on your own.

Flexibility
This essence can help people who have a very rigid way of living
their lives, don't look to the left or to the right, are possibly intoler-
ant, and can't learn anything because they cling too much to what is
familiar to them.

118
 Letting Go
Some people make their lives more difficult by not being able to let
go of what has become unnecessary in order to make room for some-
thing new. This essence is also helpful for stinginess, fear of being
devoted or letting oneself go as a precondition for relationships, or
for the free flow of feelings in relationships.

Accepting
Appropriate for the helper syndrome, poverty consciousness, and
the inability to learn. Sometimes beneficial for so-called “therapy-
resistant” people; however, you should check the qualifications of
the therapist extensively beforehand. Perhaps the problem is to be
found here.

Divine Order
Use this when everything within a person is chaotic, he simply can't
find his place in the world and the friends and relationships appro-
priate for him. Useful for everything that blocks or twists the natural
order in the body, mind, and soul. However, this isn't a universal
remedy since a concrete formation of new relationship structures
with oneself and others, as well as the mastering of the related, com-
pletely normal problems in life, must always follow. Divine Order is
a type of basic essence for the successful treatment of many prob-
lems, a first step in the right direction.

Ability to Love
The ability to love means being able to resonate with other people
and things in a cheerful, trusting, and interested way. This doesn't
mean wanting to be there for everything and everyone and sacrific-
ing oneself. The commandment of “love your neighbor as yourself’
also has something to do with this. If a person can't accept himself
and many other people and things in a warmhearted way, is hateful,
greedy, envious, jealous, fearful, arrogant, intolerant, cruel, or full of
feelings of competition, this Reiki Essence will help.

Meaning of Life
The meaning of life can't be found in a rational way. It can only be
felt and sensed. The ability to do this is like the keel of a sailboat: it
stabilizes the voyage and makes it possible to cross against the wind.
This essence helps in giving one's own life a direction and a task.

119
This doesn't concern objectives, but rather a person's right path on
which he comes into contact with the demands and successes,
phases of relaxation, and insights that fit him alone and no one else
in the suitable manner and at the right time.

Grounding
This essence can help harmonize headaches, dizziness, an excess of
subtle impressions, as well as a lack of interest in the demands and
completely normal things of everyday life like friends, a partner re-
lationship, sex, money, profession, property, health, one's own
physical nature, and the like. :

Heavening
This is the right remedy if a person doesn't want to deal with any-
thing that creates comprehensive insights into his life and the course
of the world; if he is only interested in power, money, possessions,
sex, the tangible world, and everyday life; and if he is lacking in
creativity, activity, curiosity, and flexibility.

Awaking
Some people move through the world as if they were in a deep hyp-
notic trance. They have no idea what's going on, have a ponderous
way of thinking, act as insensitive as an elephant in a china store,
have accidents because they are daydreaming, and the like. This is
also appropriate for addictions, drug abuse, and problems that are
constantly talked around—and thought about—and for co-depend-
ency. Supportive for every type of consciousness-developing and
clarifying psychotherapy. But not a substitute for it!

Further Examples
Endurance, Assertiveness, Willingness to Develop, Decisiveness,
Relaxation, Peace, Patience, Willingness to Act, Willingness to
Heal, Humor, Intuition, Ability to Concentrate, Creativity, Willing-
ness to Learn, Courage, Openness, Responsiveness (frequently a
suitable successive remedy for Ability to Love: promotes the devel-
opment of subtle perception and the ability to live in harmonious
relationships), Feeling of Self-Worth, Tolerance, Responsibility,
Forgiveness.

120
 II. How to Make Plant Essences
Wonderful Reiki Essences can be made from all types of plants. At
the same time, their effect isn't necessarily identical with that of the
Bach Essences or similar essences, phytotherapeutic agents, or rem-
edies produced in a homeopathic manner. However, the effective
components of all preparations are contained in the respective Reiki
Essences. They are complemented by further qualities that are in
part not yet known and only become available through this \special
way of making the essences. Also compare this with the respective
Pendulum Tables in Appendix Four. No material components are
necessary here either. However, it is beneficial to have seen and
touched the corresponding plant at least once.

Making the Essences

Do Step 1 as explained under I. Also do Step 2 as explained under I.,
but direct the energy flow by calling the “Higher Self of (add name
of the plants—for example: the birch)” three times. Do Step 3 as
under I., but with the intention of creating a lastingly non-perishable
Reiki Essence with the effect of (add the name of the plant). Do
Steps 4 to 9 as explained under I.
There is still much to discover in the area of plant essences. Be-
cause of the abundantly available literature on this topic, I refer you
to the Commented Bibliography in the Appendix, with the restric-
tions mentioned above. In the books there you will find more de-
tailed explanations of the healing powers of many plants than I can
give because of the limited space.

III. Making Healing-Stone Essences

Reiki Essences with a versatile spectrum of effects can be made
from every stone and every mineral. In the process, the effect isn't
necessarily identical with the healing-stone essences made in the
customary manner, but they contain many of their components. A
discussion of how the various remedies work would take us too far
afield at this point. Please look at the related Pendulum Tables in the
Appendix Four. You should also have seen and touched the respec-
tive healing stone at least once here as well.

Making the Essences

Do Step 1 as explained under I. Also do Step 2 as explained under L.,
but direct the energy flow by calling the “Higher Self of (add name
of the type of stone or mineral, for example: the rose quartz)” three
times. Do Step 3 as under I., but with the intention of creating a
lastingly non-perishable Reiki Essence with the effect of (add the

121
name of the stone or mineral). Do Steps 4 to 9 as explained under I.
It is beneficial to have been in the physical proximity of the respec-
tive healing stone at least once.

IV. Making the Power-Animal Essences

Every type of animal has a Higher Self that is responsible for it, even
if it belongs to a species with individual Higher Selves. According to
my experience, the Higher Self of a species represents a so-called
power animal or medicine animal. For many native peoples and
those who work shamanically, the healing powers, the special
knowledge, and the many other important abilities of these subtle
beings have been valued for millennia. Subtle beings are very
friendly and willing to help human beings if they are treated with
respect and sincerity. It is said that every person has at least one
power animal as a companion and if he accepts it and requests help
in mastering the crises in his life, it will support him to the best of its
abilities. Power animals are neither all-powerful nor all-knowing,
yet they can be good friends, advisors, and teachers to us human
beings in many respects.
Power-animal essences are excellent remedies for working
through extensive problems for which you don't know where you
should start in solving them. You must choose the appropriate power
animal before making such an essence. It is normally not helpful to
rationally determine the giver of such Reiki Essences unless you
have extensive shamanic knowledge and experience. The oracle
principle has proved itself to be much more suitable for this purpose.
Get yourself about 30 to 50 cardboard cards of the same size. Write
down the name of a different animal and draw a picture of it—or cut
it out somewhere and paste it—on each of the cards. If you would
like ready-made cards, the Medicine Cards by J. Sams and D.
Carson from Bear & Company are well-suited for this purpose.
Along with the set of cards, there is also a book giving precise de-
scriptions of the qualities of each of the power animals. Another pos-
sibility is using the pendulum to determine the appropriate power
animal. You will find the corresponding Pendulum Tables in Appen-
dix Four.

Selection of a Power Animal

for an Essence According to the Oracle Principle
Take 15 minutes and be sure that you won't be disturbed. You might
want to light an incense stick and do the hara meditation for several
minutes in order to separate yourself from the everyday world and
become attuned to the spiritual work that will follow.

122
Ask the question: “Which power animal can help me solve the prob-
lem (add a description of the problem)?” Think of the question while
you shuffle the cards, lay them out in a concealed position, and draw
one of them. Now you know which power animal thinks it can con-
tribute to clearing up your difficulties. Thank it for having made it-
self known to you and request its help.

Making the Essences

Do Step 1 as explained under I. Also do Step 2 as explained under I.,
but direct the energy flow by calling the “Higher Self of (add name
of the animal species, for example: the deer )” three times. Do Step
3 as under I., but with the intention of creating a lastingly non-per-
ishable Reiki Essence with the effect of (add the name of the animal
species). Do Steps 4 to 9 as explained under I.

V. Making the Angel Essences

Angels are subtle beings that are actively concerned with tasks re-
lated the development and maintenance of the Creation in general,
as well as that of individuals. We are most familiar with the four
archangels: Gabriel, Michael, Raphael, and Uriel, but there are a
great number of others. A useful introduction to the world of angels
is offered by the set (book and cards) called Angel Blessings by Kim-
berley Marooney, Merrill-West Publishing, Carmel, CA., 1995.
Please note: The archangel essences, as well as those of some of the
other angels, often have a very dynamic effect. At the beginning,
apply them with at least twice the normal level of dilution you use
for other essences, put one drop of the dilution in a glass of water,
and only let the person drink a small swallow of it. Observe the reac-
tions for at least three weeks before you think about giving the es-
sence again.

Selecting an Angel for An Essence

Take 15 minutes and be sure that you won't be disturbed. You might
want to light an incense stick and do the hara meditation for several
minutes in order to separate yourself from the everyday world and
become attuned to the spiritual work that will follow.
Ask the question: “Which angel can help me solve the problem
(add a description of the problem)?” Think of the question while you
shuffle the cards, lay them out in a concealed position, and draw one
of them. Now you know which angel thinks it can contribute to
clearing up your difficulties. Thank it for having made itself known
to you and request its help. Also compare the respective Pendulum
Tables in the Appendix Four for selecting an angel.

123
 Making the Essences
Do Step 1 as explained under I. Also do Step 2 as explained under I.,
but direct the energy flow by calling the angel (add name of the an-
gel, for example: Archangel Gabriel) three times. Do Step 3 as un-
der I., but with the intention of creating a lastingly non-perishable
Reiki Essence with the special power of the angel or with the energy
quality that it finds most suitable for the healing of your imbalances.
Do Steps 4 to 9 as explained under I.

VI. Making the Organ Essences

For every organ, it's possible to make a Reiki Organ Essence that
can give normalizing impulses to the corresponding part of the
body. Also see the corresponding Pendulum Tables in the Appen-
dix Four.

Making the Essences

Do Step 1 and Step 2 as explained under I. Exception for Step 2:
Should the essence not be effective or not have a satisfactory effect,
direct the distance contact to the Higher Self of the person who
would like to take the organ essence. Do Step 3 as under I., but with
the intention of creating a lastingly non-perishable Reiki Essence
with the effect of normalizing the specified organ, such as the liver.
Do Steps 4 to 9 as explained under I. A very interesting and versatile
organ essence is:

Thymus
This is suited as a remedy for revitalization in order to prevent pre-
mature symptoms of aging, strengthen the immune system, indi-
rectly stabilize the heart function, and for general strengthening.

VII. Making General Chakra Essences

I understand general chakra essences to be Reiki Essences that have
a normalizing and developing effect on one of the major or minor
chakras. When selecting a chakra essence, consult the Chakra Pen-
dulum Table in the Appendix Four.

Making the Essences

Do Steps 1 and 2 as explained under I. Do Step 3 as under I., but
with the request for help in creating a lastingly non-perishable Reiki
Essence with a healing and developing effect in particular for a
chakra (add the name of the chakra, for example, the 2nd chakra).
Do Steps 4 to 9 as explained under I.

124
 VIII. Making Planetary and Stellar Reiki Essences
Under these essences I understand the healing pattern of the Higher
Selves of the planets, such as Venus, Mars, or Jupiter, the Higher
Self of the Moon or specific astrological constellations, such as
Aquarius, and naturally also our Sun or our home world, the Earth.
Please consult the books mentioned in the Commented Bibliog-
raphy of the Appendix for the effects of these types of Reiki Es-
sences. There are some very good ones on this topic that can better
and more extensively explain the various energy qualities of the
planets and constellations than it is possible for me to do here.

Selecting a Planetary or Stellar Higher Self

If you would like to attempt to make an astrological card set for
selecting a heavenly giver suited for working on a respective prob-
lem, this is naturally quite useful for reasons similar to those apply-
ing to the Power Animal and Angel. When doing so, please observe
the rules that I have explained in detail under the points above. There
are also corresponding Pendulum Tables in the Appendix. If you
know a good astrologer, he can also give you competent tips for
selecting the astrological vibrational pattern for you at a certain
point in time or in general.

Making the Essences

Do Step 1 as explained under I. Also do Step 2 as explained under I.,
but direct the energy flow by calling the “Higher Self of (add name
of the planet, astrological constellation, Moon, etc., for example:
Venus)” three times. Do Step 3 as under I., but with the intention of
creating a lastingly non-perishable Reiki Essence with the effect of
(add the name of the planet, astrological constellation, the Moon,
etc.) or with an energy quality that it finds useful for solving your
problem. Do Steps 4 to 9 as explained under I.

IX. Making Metallic Reiki Essences

Metals have been used as a material in homeopathic potencies, as
well as in energetically effective elixirs, for many years by experi-
enced specialists. Through the Reiki Essence method, not only the
familiar, but also significantly more extensive possibilities for ap-
plying the healing subtle vibrations of metals arise.

Making the Essences

Do Step 1 as explained under I, as well as Step 2, but direct the
energy flow by calling “Higher Self of (add name of the metal) three
times. Do Step 3 as under I., but with the intention of creating a

125
lastingly non-perishable Reiki Essence with the effect of (add the
name of the metal). Do Steps 4 to 9 as explained under I.

X. Examples for Other Types of Reiki Essences

While observing the rules for making Reiki Essences explained
above and illustrated in the points I. to X. with many examples, you
can craft such remedies from almost every model with which you
have at one time come into contact on the material level—if the
giver isn't a subtle being. It's worth experimenting with this. Some
suggestions are:
Oxygen, Christ, Buddha, runes, Tarot cards, I Ching hexagrams,
power places like the Cheops Pyramid, spiritual teachers who are
important to you like Jesus, Yogananda, Babaji, or Sathya Sai Baba.

How Can Reiki Essences

Be Used Everywhere and What Should
Be Observed in the Process?
Not only human beings can resort to the help of Reiki Essences in
minor or major health problems or other problems in life—they are
also very good for plants and animals. Try it out!
Please remember that you bear a great deal of responsibility for the
use of this knowledge. Respect other people's freedom to decide and
never give them something of the essences without their express per-
mission. This wouldn't be right and certainly not spiritual. If you can't
ask because the respective being isn't capable of speech, plants, ani-
mals, small children, and people in comas, for example, establish con-
tact with the responsible Higher Self and ask whether you are permit-
ted to work with a Reiki Essence in relation to this being. Feel what's
going on inside yourself and respect the answer! Take this comment
on your personal responsibility very seriously in your own interest!

An Application of the Reiki Essence

Method for Advanced Students

In closing, here is a further interesting area of use for the Reiki Es-
sence method. However, you should only use it if you have gathered
abundant experience in making Reiki Essences and knowledge
about their effects.

126
 Just as you can channel the energy of a giver's Higher Self into a
carrier substance, it's naturally also possible to directly use this to
treat a person or some other being. To do this, charge the giver's
Higher Self for just 30 seconds to a maximum of 2 minutes and ex-
plain to it that it should formulate the harmonizing vibrations to di-
rectly treat a person or other being and not for making a Reiki Es-
sence.
In order to achieve a holistic effect, it's appropriate to transmit
the power to the respective person through the position used for
mental healing with Reiki, specifically the initiated hand on the top
of the head and the other on the medulla oblongata at the center of
the back of the head.
The healing power can naturally also flow to every other area of
the body by a direct laying on of the hands or within the scope of a
distance treatment. However, it will then only have an effect in the
respective area. But this can also be quite useful for certain reasons.
For example, to release the rest of the energy system from a largely
isolated trauma, such as phantom limb pain.
Please pay attention to the following chapter before you begin
your practical work with the essences. It contains a great deal of
things worth knowing about healing reactions, professional training
possibilities, and what should be observed in legal terms when it
comes to giving the essences to others.

 CHAPTER SEVEN

Reiki Essences
in Practical Application

There are a number of useful or even necessary things you should

keep in mind when using the Reiki Essences. You will find informa-
tion about them in this chapter.

What Happens
When Reiki Essences Are Used?

When a person becomes healthy in a natural way or even if he effec-

tively works on himself in a spiritual sense, healing reactions will
occur. If it is clear that this will happen and is taken into considera-
tion, there should hardly be any greater problems as a result. How-
ever, someone who isn't properly prepared for this may become fear-
ful or falsely appraise what is happening and not react appropriately.
Furthermore, it may be that one Reiki essence for treating an
imbalance is not sufficient or that it hasn't been suitably selected and
therefore shows no results. It's important to not exceed one's own
level of competence here, be sure to consult an experienced medical
professional in time. This topic will be discussed in detail below.

What Are Healing Reactions?

A healing reaction is the body's response to something normalizing
its vital energies. The following may occur in individual cases:

a. A detoxification process takes place on the physical, emotional,

mental, and energetic level. As long as toxins and waste materials of
all types are not removed from the body, it can't truly become
healthy. As long as old, bottled-up feelings aren't expressed, they
inhibit the flow of other current feelings. As long as a person lives
his life in a way that doesn't lastingly fulfill his individual needs and
doesn't make growth possible for him, or constantly weakens him, it
won't be possible to maintain his health and well-being. When ener-

129
gies that have long become inappropriate are stuck in his chakras or
meridians, he won't be able to properly develop himself in the spir-
itual sense or in other ways.
All the points mentioned here are naturally connected with
each other.
Nothing can be dissolved in isolation without at least starting to
bring other things into the living flow.

b. Suppressed and chronic afflictions of all types become acute for a

time and their symptoms manifest themselves more intensively. In
the larger sense, this process is also part of detoxification.

c. Restructuring takes place on all levels. This can temporarily cre-

ate a feeling of insecurity, loss of the sense of being safe and secure,
difficulties in making decisions, emotional fluctuations, diminished
mental and emotional powers of endurance and initiative, as well as
greater emotional vulnerability. Once the new structure has been
created, a considerably higher degree of endurance, stability, crea-
tivity, and joy in living arise.

d. The processes mentioned under a. to c. require a great deal of

energy and suitable material for building the new physical struc-
tures. This means that more sleep, less stress, an increased intake of
liquids to support the metabolism and detoxification, light and regu-
lar exercise, and easily digestible, healthy food with considerably
more vital substances are required than normally.

Social Impact of Taking Reiki Essences

The observation has frequently been made that taking Reiki Es-
sences supports not only the development of the individual who
takes them, but that there are subsequently effects on other people
who are frequently together with him and inwardly prepared for op-
portunities of growth. People are connected with each other and
with other beings in their daily environment in many ways and not
just on the subtle and energetic level. In this respect, it's understand-
able that far-reaching development processes of a person in a rela-
tionship can positively influence the other partner if he or she isn't
closed to meaningful changes.
So please don't be surprised if things get moving in the right di-
rection for the partner, other members of the family, colleagues, or
close friends. But don't count on this happening every time!

130
 When Should You See a Doctor?
As a non-professional, you can use the Reiki Essences within the
scope of home and family health care for yourself and your loved
ones, as well as in a preventive manner, for experiencing your self
and developing your personality. For all cases of serious illness—no
matter what type—and for everything where you are uncertain
whether it could be serious, you must absolutely consult an experi-
enced medical profession in order to have a correct diagnosis made
and, if necessary, an appropriate therapy prescribed and its effects
monitored. Traditional Reiki, the advanced methods of Rainbow
Reiki and other approaches can possibly be used as accompanying
therapies. Inform the doctor providing treatment if you would like to
take additional action and coordinate this with him.
If there are initial changes for the worse and these don't disap-
pear within three days or are very severe, a medical professional
should also be consulted to be on the safe side. It may be possible to
weaken a vehement healing reaction through simple measures or
there might be another illness that needs to be treated concealed be-
hind the presumed healing crisis.

Interaction of Reiki Essences

with Other Medications

To the best of my knowledge, there are no direct interactions of

Reiki Essences with chemical or natural medications.
In homeopathic treatments, it is often no longer possible to
clearly define the additional effect of a Reiki essence in relation to
that of the homeopathic remedy. It isn't clearly apparent which of
them had the actual effect. For this reason, a patient should consult
the medical professional giving him homeopathic treatment before
taking a Reiki essence.
The effects of some medicines may be reduced through the de-
toxifying action of Reiki Essences. This is only dangerous when the
medications must be maintained at certain levels within the body in
order to insure survival. If such medications are taken or it isn't clear
whether they are necessary for survival, the doctors providing the
treatment must unconditionally be consulted before taking the Reiki
Essences. Discuss what should be taken into consideration with re-
spect to the prescribed medication when the body has improved its
ability to detoxify itself.

131
 If organs function better as a result of using the Reiki Essences, it
may be necessary to reduce or terminate use of the medication sup-
porting one of these organs. Only the doctor providing the treatment
can make this decision! For diabetics who must take insulin, life-
threatening circumstances may otherwise arise when improved
functioning of the pancreas occurs. In all of the cases mentioned,
definitely request the advice of the medical professional providing
the treatment and have him do follow-up examinations on a regular
basis.

Reiki Essences and Regulations

Every country has its own regulations regarding healing activities in
the narrower and broader sense.

Only trained and authorized medical professionals like doctors,

.-haturopaths, and the assisting medical professions like physiothera-
pists are normally permitted to make diagnoses or prescribe thera-
pies. Any other unauthorized person is liable to prosecution. In my
opinion, in addition to the legal perspective, it isn't spiritually and
ethically correct for people who are not medical professionals to try
to give treatment in the same way as a doctor would.
"Cobbler, stick to your last!” is an old saying that applies here.
Otherwise, you should complete a recognized form of medical train-
ing and pass an examination bestowing on you the official permis-
sion to give medical treatment to people who are seriously ill, if this
is what you want to do. Or use your knowledge only with people
who are basically healthy.

One Reservation on My Part...

With publication of the knowledge about Rainbow Reiki in general
and the Reiki Essence method in particular, I would like to contrib-
ute to the possibility of every person who has the corresponding pre-
requisites—First or Second Degree Reiki—of working privately for
himself and his family with it and receiving a benefit from it.
I don't want any type of economic activities, production, applica-
tion, seminars on the topic, written information, videos, sound carri-
ers, and the like to be developed under the terms Reiki Essence,
Rainbow Reiki, or Rainbow Reiki Mandala by people who haven't
been instructed by me personally or by teachers who I have commis-
sioned to do so. They should be instructed in the theory and practice

132
of Rainbow Reiki and authorized to do this work. This is the only
way I can have some guarantee that nothing else is passed on to
unsuspecting people under these terms. For this reason, I have had
the terms mentioned here legally protected in Germany and other
countries.

Certification Training
at the Reiki-Do Institute
For medical professionals, the Reiki-Do Institute Walter Liibeck of-
fers certified training in making and using Reiki Essences and other
Rainbow Reiki methods suited for the medical practice in coopera-
tion with experienced medical professionals.

Training for Non-Professionals

in the Reiki Essence Method
Non-professionals can also receive training in the Reiki Essence
method for their own private needs. The Reiki-Do Institute Walter
Liibeck offers seminars and workshops on this topic, as well as di-
verse teaching material.

unconscious thought processes, as well as the mental habits such as
valuations, ethical and moral ideas.
The Spiritual Body: Connection of the human being with the
creative force, the point of unity for all life.

ity to be in a relationship, desire and physical expression. Organs:
urogenital system, kidneys, skin, arms, fluids in the body.
3rd Energy Center —Solar Plexus Chakra: power, dominance,
fear, karma, separation, analytic thinking. Organs: digestive system,
liver, solar plexus, autonomic system, joints, tensed state of the mus-
culature, energy metabolism, detoxification processes through
elimination/encapsulation.
 4th Energy Center—Heart Chakra: love, unity. Organs: heart,
parts of the pancreas, thymus gland, detoxification through storage

The Minor Chakras

The Yin Chakra: Similar to, but much less flexible and complicated in
function than the 7th energy center, the crown chakra. Connection to
unity with everything that is yin on both the inside and the outside
The Yang Chakra: Similar to, but much less flexible and compli-
cated in function than the 7th energy center, the crown chakra. Con-
nection to unity with everything that is yang on both the inside and
the outside.
The Nutrition/Responsibility Chakras: These energy centers
regulate every type of responsibility, as well as nutrition in the mate-
rial, energetic, and informative area.
Hand Chakras: Expression of the energies of all chakras in the
outer world and perception in the subtle area.
Elbow Chakras: Regulation of the intensity of relationships. For
example: being able to accept people and things and draw boundaries.
The Knee Chakras: Ability to teach and learn. Devotion to life
with all the consequences or to death.
Foot Chakras: Function similar to that of the hand chakras, but
instead of being directed at other living beings, the connection to the

Experiences with
Reiki Essences

By Anne Witt, Healing Practitioner and Reiki Master

Notes on the decoder dermatography interpretation

Lead 7 shows the condition of the Ist chakra, lead 2 that of the 2nd
chakra, lead 4 that of the 3rd chakra, lead 6 that of the 4th chakra,
lead | that of the 5th chakra, lead 3 that of the 6th chakra, and lead 5
that of the 7th chakra. The red “flags” represent the first measure-
ment (initial value without reaction stimulation), the green the sec-
ond measurement after the reaction stimulation by the measuring
devise, and the blue represent the values after administrating the
Reiki essence (therapeutic intervention). In the optimal case, the
green flag should extend beyond the red flag. The green flag reflects
the regulatory ability of the organism after stimulation by the meas-
uring device. If the stimulation is taken well by the body, it is
“healthy.” The less the body can regulate this, the more imbalanced
it is at this time.

Case 1: A patient who has experienced sexual abuse

She was given the essence “Release of the Abuse Theme.” Dosage:
1 x daily 3 drops. Several days after taking the drops, a discharge of
pus from the paranasal sinuses and coughing with pain in the heart
area occurred. The patient also continued to take the drops during
these reactions. She interpreted it to be cleansing and excretory reac-
tions. Changes began to take place in her partner relationship. It be-
came clear that the partner also had problems with the abuse theme.
Communication on this topic was initially difficult, and the partner
decided to also go into psychotherapeutic treatment in order to deal
with his share of the problem. During this time, I provided psycho-
therapeutic care for the patient and supported the process with
chakra work using the metamorphic method. The physical symp-
toms subsided after some time without having to use any further
medications. In a biophysical examination, it was determined that
the problem of the karmic partner relationship began to be resolved.
We are still awaiting the further results.

inet)
 Evaluation: I made the Reiki Essence for the various energy bod-
ies. This process has very clearly shown a deep-reaching and quick,
in part also dramatic change, of her difficult theme. It was naturally
also necessary to provide care for thé patient outside the normal
practice hours as well. The current healing process became very
clear to her, and she showed great willingness to integrate the
changes into her life.
Six weeks after the start of treatment with Reiki Essences: the
partner relationship has drastically changed. The partner has come
into a very strong contact with his inner self for the first time so that
the relationship can become deeper. (Note by Walter Liibeck: It is
clear here that the effect is not just lrmited to the person receiving
treatment, but can manifest itself as an impact and response in his/
her outer world.

Case 2: A patient with changes in the cells of the cervix

On the basis of a decoder dermatography transcription, a shift in the
acid-alkali balance is shown in favor of the acid. In addition to a
classic homeopathic remedy, she received the Reiki Essence “Regu-
lation of the Acid-Alkali Equilibrium” for the mental and spiritual,
emotional, etheric, and physical level. It should be mentioned here

Example of decoder dermatography printout

140
that acid is classified with the masculine principle and alkali is clas-
sified with the feminine principle.
The patient reported that she was able to be much less aggressive
in dealing with her fellow human beings and her partner. She was
able to understand aggression from the outside and no longer needed
to emotionally experience this compulsively as being directed
against her. She also developed more sympathy for the people she
encountered in an aggressive manner, but this type of interaction has
occurred less frequently. I advised the patient to regularly treat her
uterus with Reiki [1], which the patient likes to do on a regular basis.
Whether the cell changes have been normalized has not yet been
established since the treatment was not complete when this report
was written.

Case 3: A patient with sexual problems

She received the Essence “Solution of the Sexual Problems.” One
day after taking it, swelling and itching of the labia occurred,
which continued for about one week. The second night, four men
appeared in her dreams who were apparently involved in the de-
velopment of her sexuality. The patient was able to let these things
arise with a good feeling and is naturally being given psychothera-
peutic care.

Case 4: A handicapped young man

He received the Reiki Essence “Grounding.” Three weeks after he
started taking it, his mother stated that he could now participate in
and tolerate his physiotherapeutic treatments for twice as long. The
process is certain to continue.
. After afew weeks, the patient came to my practice for scar-clear-
ing. He permitted me to touch him and was quite calm and relaxed
about it. At any earlier point in time, this wouldn't have been possi-
ble since he had had intense fears of closeness.

Case 5: A young woman with intensive heart palpitations,

a slight alcohol problem, and depressive moods
in which she quickly reacted with fear
The patient received the Reiki Essence “Calmness.” One week afier
she started taking it, she reported that the heart palpitations had
greatly subsided. In addition, her problems that she had with her
parents became more conscious. Now she is calmer when facing
them and has achieved more distance to them. She drinks alcohol
much less frequently. The patient has been given additional support
with energy work and spent a long time in psychotherapeutic group
therapy.

141
 Case 6: A patient involved a great upheaval in life
and the resulting confusion and lack of clarity
The patient received the Reiki Essence “Light and Clarity.” At the
next therapy session one week later, she reported that many things
related to her situation had become clear to her. She sees the direc-
tion in which her development appears to be going and has more
courage to make decisions. My observation is that she frequently
speaks of “clarity” during our conversation.

Case 7: A patient has problems with her children

She can't devote herself enough to them, has difficulty tolerating
their neediness. The patient received.the Reiki Essence “Healing of
the Heart Chakra.” I carried out a decoder dermatography recording
with the patient. The picture shows blocks in leads 2, 4, 5 (inten-
sively over-energized because of an acute cold) and 7, partial blocks
in 6 with signs of scarring (could be physical or psychological scars
in the heart). After administration of the Reiki Essence, the blocks
dissolved according to the decoder recording in lead 2, in part in 4,
6, and 7. While attuning myself to the patient, I had the intuition that
the heart chakra should be treated. Then the partially blocked 2nd
chakra, which is also responsible for certain areas of the ability to
have relationships, could normalize itself as well. The decoder pic-
ture confirmed this. Three weeks after the woman had taken the
Reiki Essences, her daughter became ill with measles. Something
appears to have “tipped the balance” in the situation. Some days
later, the patient herself became ill with a feverish infection. She
hadn't had a fever for a longer period of time. This was accompanied
by coughing, swelling of the lymph nodes in the groin area, and in-
tense toothache without any physical findings, meaning it had an
energetic origin. It was noticeable that the patient came into my
practice with her daughter and the daughter snuggled up to her
mother the whole time without this apparently disturbing her. Her
manner of speaking and her appearance also seemed to be softer.
The further course must also be awaited here since the healing proc-
ess has not yet been completed as I write this.

Case 8: A patient with strong tensions

in the entire skeletal musculature
The tensions has taken on such dimensions that there have been
changes in the skeleton, causing intense states of pain. This is con-
spicuous in the psychological picture since there are relationship
difficulties in the broader sense. The patient is very receptive to
other people's problems, yet communicating about her own themes
is difficult for her. She received the Reiki Essence “Healing of the

142
 ert

2nd Chakra.” Under stimulation, the initial decoder picture (red and
green) shows a strong regulation in lead 6 (heart chakra), a drop of
the energy in lead 2 (2nd chakra: the signs of scars, which could be
physical as well as psychological). In lead 7, a drop in energy oc-
curred under stimulation and administration of the Reiki Essence
(we must wait for the reaction). The measurement directly after ad-
ministration of the Reiki Essence shows that the energy of lead 2
(2nd chakra) was already regulated somewhat higher, the energy in
the lead 4 (solar plexus chakra) and lead 6 (heart chakra) drops. I
associate this with the fact that the patient participated too strongly
in other people's suffering and thereby became too far removed from
herself. In the next session after one week, the patient reported on
exactly this theme. She was now more sympathetic than commiser-
ating and was better able to express her own needs and concerns,
which was reflected in an energy increase in lead | (Sth chakra). The
patient felt quite well taking the Essence, and her strong tensions
were Clearly reduced. Now she can move in way that had been im-
possible for her for a long time.

144
 Case 9: A patient with severe abdominal
pain during menstruation
The patient has problems in feeling and setting limits and construc-
tively applying her energy for herself and others. The decoder pic-
ture shows a block in lead 2 (2nd chakra). I didn't evaluate the over-
energized picture in leads 1, 3, and 5 here since the patient had a bad
cold. She received the Reiki Essence “Healing of the 2nd Chakra.”
The direct subsequent measurement showed that the block in lead 2
opened, the energy in lead 4 (solar plexus), 3, and 1 was increased.
At the consultation 4 weeks later, the patient reported that she is
beginning to set boundaries, which is very clearly expressed in the
way her mother had injured her daughter's boundaries. She is more
capable of going into the outside world with her energy (energy in-
crease in lead 4) and can more quickly talk about and express this
(energy increase in lead 1). She can better open herself for sugges-
tions on thinking about the correlations of her complaints and
achieves more insight (energy increase in lead 3); she understands
that this: theme is a large field of learning for her and that she can
develop boundaries not against something, but for herself.

Case 10: A patient with relationship problems

He strongly withdraws when facing personal confrontations with his
partner. | made 2 decoder pictures: the first was created before he
took the essence, and the second 2 months later. The first picture
shows a clear energy drop in the leads 2, 4, 6, and 7; lead 3 (6th
chakra) shows a block, reflecting his lack of insight for his share of
the theme. When measured again after 2 months, a clear energy
change was shown. An increase of energy had taken place in all of
the leads that had previously been weak, the block in lead 3 had been
dissolved (the patient shows clearly more understanding of his
share). He has been able to develop more sympathy and understand-
ing for his partner. We will keep an eye on the leads 2 and 3 and their
psychological theme since it is desirable for these to become more
strongly regulated.

Case 11: A patient who has had amalgam removed

The patient received the Reiki Essence “Detoxification.” The initial
decoder measurement shows an energy drop in the leads 4, 6, and 7. In
these leads are the excretory organs on the physical level. After ad-
ministration of the essence, the energy increased in the leads 4 and 6,
and increased somewhat in lead 2. The weakening in lead 7 presum-
ably represents the patient's ovulation that has just occurred; the over-
energized leads 1, 3, and 5 reflect the currently existing parasinal in-
fection, which had previously existed as a chronically latent process.

 General Observations
on the Reiki Essences in My Practice
The Reiki Essences appear to work on a very deep level and are
apparently capable of resolving karmic themes. The transformation
takes place at a tempo that is hardly imaginable. It's very much like a
quick-motion effect. In my opinion, this is why it's necessary for
those who use the Reiki Essences to deal with them and the people
who take them in a very responsible manner. I think that an experi-
enced naturopath/psychotherapist should watch over the healing
process when there is a serious physical and/or emotional and men-
tal illness or when it looks like there is a greater imbalance. Quali-
fied training in making, selecting, and applying the Reiki Essences
should be an obvious preparation for anyone who wants to deal with
them professionally. It's necessary to understand and competently
accompany the healing and growth processes triggered by the Reiki
Essences in order to bring them to a “round” conclusion. People who
aren't familiar with the natural course of holistic healing processes
or are only superficially aware of them could otherwise wrongly
evaluate the reactions to the treatment of severe imbalances with
Reiki Essences, reacting with fears that could hinder the progress of
the healing. Emotional healing crises require accompaniment, if
only just to keep the consciousness of what is happening in step with
the actual occurrences and offer a shoulder to lean on. In times of
profound developmental processes, every individual needs a social
environment that supports and understands him, stabilizing him
from the outside during the time of transformation since his inner
life is in chaos. A new, more healthy order is then created during the
course of the healing.

 APPENDIX THREE

Reiki, Shamanism,
and Working with the
Healing Powers of Nature

By Greta-Bahya Hessel-Liibeck,
Reiki Master and Shaman

Working with the power of nature, with Reiki, and the traditional
shamanic methods is a part of my everyday life. I train people in
shamanic healing methods and have been permitted to gather a vari-
ety of experiences with the combination of different energy systems
together with my students.

What is Shamanism?
Shamanism is one of the oldest and most basic systems of healing.
Before there even were doctors, male and female shamans were the
healers of the society. For shamans, nothing is without a soul. By
respecting the other parts of the world and deeply loving them, they
can heal relationships and help dissolve separations. Shamanism
spread out from India to Siberia into the whole world, only to be
suppressed in the so-called advanced civilizations through institu-
tionalized religion.
Unfortunately, people today have largely lost access to these ar-
chaic powers. Through our technology and performance-oriented
society, the soul suffers increasingly from stress and estrangement
from itself, other people, and nature. Allergies, cancer, AIDS, and
artificially triggered environmental catastrophes threaten humanity
and cause fear and pain. In view of these threats, human beings are
searching for ways out of the suffering. Shamanism offers many
paths for this purpose, and so it has once again become relevant. Old
rituals are now coming to life because people need them, and the
modern world painfully misses them.

149
 What Shamanism Isn't
Unfortunately, there are also a great many communication problems
on the topic of “shamanism.” Some people consider shamanism as a
possibility for dropping out and withdrawing from society because
they can't deal with it or have worked themselves into an “end-of-
the-world” mood. On the other hand, there are other people who
think it's the official permission to take drugs. Many people simply
try to live out their power through what they call “shamanism.” Oth-
ers in turn have totally left the solid ground of reality and find them-
selves in a constant state of delirium, confusing “tripping out” with
shamanism. However, shamanism isn't an ego trip, but has the ob-
jective of a meaningful life together for all beings of the world. Indi-
vidual characteristics are not only tolerated by it, but desired since
they make the happiness of each individual possible and enrich the
community with their many unique talents.

My Path with the Powers

After many years of examination and research, I have developed my
own spiritual path. As a philosopher, I quickly understood at the uni-
versity that perception without experience has no value and that ex-
perience without perception makes just as little sense. So I con-
nected the perception (philosophy) with the experience (shaman-
ism). The same results from masculine and feminine ways of think-
ing: reason—intuition. For the past two-thousand years, societies in
most parts of the world have been determined by patriarchy. The
patriarchy has set the tone in these times and defined the social
structures. The consequence of this is that we are now destroying
ourselves and nature. Now we are approaching a new age which,
I believe, will be oriented towards androgyny. Feminine and mascu-
line portions can now be integrated meaningfully on the personal
and societal levels. The connection of masculine reason and femi-
nine intuition is the shaman within us; it is the reconnection or con-
nection to nature. In our current society, the masculine portion in
human beings is primarily lived out. This includes: craving for suc-
cess, possession, striving for artificial progress without considera-
tion of its effects on the totality of life, analyzing, ruling, and having
power. In contrast, feminine values are: intuition, creativity, beauty,
relationships, joy, feelings, letting go, sensing, perceiving, softness,
being in the flow of life and letting yourself be carried by it. I now
see my tasks as bringing people to their feminine aspects through
experience and perception so that they are animated within their

150
bodies and happy with themselves, in relationships, and within their
environment.
When I met my husband Walter, I found myself on the shamanistic
path of initiation. I had gone through long, difficult initiation processes
and had succeeded in freeing myself from my self-imposed isolation
pattern. Through Walter, I became familiar with Reiki and found out
that we had both taken a similar path, but by using different techniques
in part. I learned to use the Reiki methods in my shamanistic activities.
Since Reiki, as a non-polar, loving energy, is available to everyone who
opens up to it through initiation and offers techniques of subtle commu-
nication in a simple manner, I can make the shamanistic path and the
connection to the healing powers of nature accessible to a great many
more people, without them necessarily having to go through the long
clarifying processes of suffering beforehand. Increasingly more people
who had been involved in the Ist, 2nd, and 3rd Degree with Walter
came to my seminars since they wanted to continue to work on them-
selves, find out more about themselves and more extensively learn
about the possibilities of using Reiki together with the healing powers of
nature. While shamans work with tobacco or mantras, the Reikians give
Reiki in exchange for the support of the spirits. A feeling of security like
that of a large family, in which every individual could open up and be
accepted with understanding, quickly arose in my groups. On the basis
of these preconditions, it was possible for me to contribute to the trigger-
ing of profound processes of development that helped master life crises
and strengthen body and spirit to such a degree that previous imbalances
disappeared. The transformation of the participants happened so rapidly
that I often couldn't believe it myself. After one or two seminars, many
people looked much clearer and were completely changed in appear-
ance. Everyone had mystic experiences, communicated quite normally
with the natural forces, which passed perceptions on to us that we would
never have achieved in any other way. We had many experiences be-
yond the realm of everyday life. For example, as we worked with Reiki
on our medicine wheel, someone went to the stone of the thunderbird in
order to receive help there and it actually thundered in the sky at the
same moment.

The Medicine Cards in Personal

Counseling and Shamanistic Work
The direct connection between Reiki and shamanistic work began
with The Medicine Cards. During the initiation seminars of the First
Degree, I did personal counseling for the participants during the

151
breaks for a while. But I usually didn't have much time available,
and the people's problems were large and complicated. So I thought
of a method for them to work with the power animals without having
much knowledge about shamanism. For this purpose, I selected the
oracle game The Medicine Cards from Bear & Company. I used
these during the consultation by asking the person what problem he
had at the moment. We talked about it for a while and then worked
out an appropriate question together in order to more closely illumi-
nate the circumstances surrounding the problem. Then I had the cli-
ent draw one of the concealed cards while he thought of the ques-
tion. The power animal pictured on the chosen card showed the
further path for solving the problem. I read the text on this from the
accompanying book, used my shamanic ability to experience more
about the problem and its background, and then explained the corre-
lations to him. Afterwards, a leading question could be asked:
“Which power animal can I call on to help solve my problem?” The
power animal on the card subsequently drawn was then responsible
for directly working through the difficulty. We once again read the
explanatory text together, and I explained the information. Now the
practical work with the power animal could begin. The client was to
now obtain a picture or figure of the power animal and give it Reiki
for ten minutes a day with his hands, requesting help while doing so.
In this way, he created a transpersonal connection with the power
animal, thereby giving it Reiki in exchange for its help. Every subtle
being of nature greatly appreciates this*’. The participants had as-
tounding success with this method. If you don't believe it, just try it
out yourself. I wish you much success and joy with it.

‘Please don't confuse this technique with the distance-treatment method of the Second Degree.
With distance treatment, a certain contact can be made with everything and anyone at any time.
With the application described above, contact can only be made with one subtle being that is
willing to work with you and is already informed about this work, of which there must at least be
a symbolic material picture, and which has already had experience with human beings.

 APPENDIX FOUR

Pendulum Tables

The pendulum tables should help you work with the methods of
Rainbow Reiki in a more structured manner. By working with them,
you can receive suggestions for making Reiki Essences, fundamen-
tal advice for dealing with a personal problem theme (Table 14), and
much more.
Please remember that every person can make mistakes in any
activity! Using the pendulum is very useful, but you would be
falsely advised if you were to blindly trust the information given to
you by the pendulum. Personal responsibility is also the key to the
successful use of a method here—which applies to dealing with any
type of spiritual tools as well.
The information of “Error” is listed in every pendulum table. If
the pendulum swings there, use Pendulum Table 2 “Error Correc-
tion” in order to get a more detailed picture of the error.
Pendulum Table | should help you determine a basic path for
solving a difficulty. Then consult the corresponding section of this
book in order to obtain further information and work with the other
pendulum tables.
In the Commented Bibliography (Appendix Five), you will find
a series of books, that will help you learn more about a plant, power
animal, or metal, for exemple.
And now I want to wish you much enjoyment and success in
using the pendulum!

 Rainbow Reiki
Expanding the Reiki System
with Powerful Spiritual Abilities
Rainbow Reiki is a proven system of complex energy work.
The basis of Rainbow Reiki, a successful combination of old
and new methods, is the’ Usui System of Reiki. Rainbow
Reiki expands the Usui Reiki System through highly de-
veloped techniques of energy work and provides possibil-
ities of working directly with subtle beings as teachers.
Making Reiki Essences, performing guided aura and chakra
work, connecting with existing power places and creating
new personal ones, as well as developing Reiki WE erICKe
are all a part of this system. By combining the Reiki system
with other subtle techniques, intense spiritual powers are
set free.

Rainbow Reiki gives us a wealth of possibilities to achieve

completely new and different things with Reiki than taught
in the traditional system. Walter Liibeck has tested these
new methods in practical application for years and teaches
them in his courses.

Reiki Essences are crystal healing patterns or the forces

of plant transmitted into lasting carrier substances through
Rainbow Reiki. The different types of remedies created in
this way can be used for holistic healing and perso
development in a great variety of ways. This work
companied by plants devas, crystal teachers, ange
healing stones, and other beings of the spiritual wo
