Dorje Reiki

	"Dorje" is the Tibetan word for "diamond-like, or lightning" ("Vajra" in Sanskrit.) "Dorje" stands for the divine universal diamond-like light/lightning which permeates all of existence and energizes all living things and the understanding of which can arrive to an individual in a flash

of light. It is adamantine, conscious, knowledgeable, caring and powerful. It is the energetic synthesis of all dualities, and represents the fusion/merging of the infinite with the finite, the mental/spiritual with the physical, and the male with the female (Yab/Yum, Yang with Yin). It is related to the concept of Kundalini and gTumo in the sense of the merging of spiritual energy with the physical for the purpose of healing and enlightenment. Dorje Reiki's energy nature (for those who notice a qualitative difference between types of Reiki) is quite like that of gTumo Vajra Reiki merged with Karuna Ki. I chose to consider it a form of Reiki since it combines the best of those Reiki traditions to which I have been attuned, as well as Reiki-like energywork and bodywork elements, as well as spiritual development techniques which I have learned. It is used for healing and personal growth for both the client and for the practitioner. Since it involves a noticeably altered state of consciousness, I limit the students to experienced Reiki Masters who are already aware of a very limited sensation of this kind. In Dorje Reiki, this effect is much more pronounced.

In the tradition of many modern systems of Reiki, I also considered the Sanskrit names: Pranayena Reiki [out of love], or Ekatvena Reiki [in oneness], or Ojasa Reiki [concentrated psychic power], or even Bhajate Reiki [rendering transcendental loving service]. None of these express simply and directly the nature of Reiki which I have come to know, except "Dorje Reiki". [Dorje is pronounced  "DOOR-jay" .] I recognize that there are those who would question the use of a Tibetan name , or even the use of the word "Reiki" for my system. In order to provide a bridge for those who know Reiki, as well as Tibetan concepts of energy and life, these terms are use to suggest an approach, not a direct connection with things Tibetan and/or Reiki, either in required beliefs or Tibetan practices in general. Healing knows no boundaries, either of geography or of thought. Also, methods of healing evolve beyond their roots, providing a growth of method and energy not foreseen by those trained in earlier traditions, or in earlier types of Reiki. This is all desirable and proper. Life evolves. Read more...
