What is Reiki?

Reiki is translated from Japanese to mean “Universal Life Force.”

A Reiki healer channels this energy and is the conduit for the energy to flow through the body and out through the hands.  It is a tradition that has been passed down from Master teacher to student.

How the classes are taught:

You will learn principles and techniques from Diana Siderides (Traditional Reiki Master) and receive attunements that allow direct connection to the unlimited source of energy. Classes are taught at three levels:

 Testimonials:

"I am a former Captain in the United States Marine Corps, have served two tours in Iraq, and have been a recipient of energy work for three years.  Until Diana's Traditional Reiki I course I was dependent on other light workers to help me through my physical and emotional challenges.  Energy work has changed my life in ways, many of which I will never be able to place in words, most notably my physical challenges.  Through the many years of rough physical activity I was left with the inability to run which was one of my favorite past times.  After receiving the Traditional Reiki I attunements I have had zero arthritis pain and within three weeks have built up to running four miles.  Going through Diana's Traditional Reiki I course has given me an extreme sense of empowerment, that I too have the ability to heal myself and others through the miracle of the universal life force energy that is around us 24/7.  I have been drawn to Reiki for a long time and have researched other establishments, but Diana is one of the VERY few Reiki Masters who have been traditionally trained by one of the original Japanese Reiki practitioners.  I would highly recommend her classes to others and I am looking forward to taking Reiki II with her."    Jeremiah

It was by chance that Diana came into my life as a teacher of Traditional Reiki. Prior to our first encounter I had briefly heard the term Reiki and that it has something to do with healing.

I was recently asked, "What has Reiki done for you?" First, I will say it was important for me to take all three levels of Reiki after experiencing the first class. As a result the following response is in reflection of the time spent as a student and as a practitioner of Reiki.  With each class level grew a deeper level of growth, understanding and appreciation of myself.

It was by chance that Diana came into my life as a teacher of Traditional Reiki.  Prior to our first encounter I had briefly heard the term Reiki and that it had something to do with healing. 

I was recently asked, "What has Reiki done for you?  First, I will say it was important for me to take all three levels of Reiki after experiencing the first class.  As a result the following response is in reflection of the time spent as a student and as a practitioner of Reiki.  With each class level grew a deeper understanding and appreciation for what Reiki stood for, which only paralleled a deeper level of growth, understanding and appreciation of myself.   

In the beginning I was curious and in awe of the entire process.  Learning to physically feel the flow of Reiki energy is a unique and wondrous process.  Something I had not encountered before. Through the practice of Reiki one is taught many things, one for example is how to direct one's attention. In doing so, one begins to understand more specifically the meaning behind the phrases; "to focus" and "to become aware."  So as a student becomes aware of thought and speech patterns, one can begin to understand the relationship of emotions to thought.  If the thoughts are negative in nature then the results are a reflection of this.  If, however, the thought processes are of the positive nature, then again, results are a reflection of this too. What are you thinking?  What are you feeling?

To take time to observe, "focus," one's thought process long enough to discover if one is looking at the glass half empty or half full is most valuable?  A lesson that may be taken into everyday life.  After observing the thought process then comes a second important tool, "to become aware" of and practice the art of inner stillness. For in observing our thought process allows us to look at our self honestly.  In this honesty comes a moment of inner silence which enables the student to connect intimately with themselves and with the healing process.  A beginning has been forged to finding inner peace within. 

One of the key elements that initially drew me to Reiki was that of "healing of self first then others."  In working with other individuals as a practitioner, Reiki taught a new aspect of being of service to others.  More importantly though, it taught me a new level of service to "self."  As a woman, mother, wife, friend, it is customary or typical to place others ahead of one's own needs. To heal myself meant I had an opportunity to reacquaint and reconnect with my body.  Which meant I actually sat with my physical self paying attention to my entire being.  This was another new experience putting myself first without guilt. 

It is also taught that Reiki works in bringing balance to an individual not only of the physical level but that too of the emotional and spirit of the individual.  Which, to me, means that in order to have some balance in our lives, we bring together our physical well being, our mental (thought process) well being, and our Spirit (who we truly are) together.  How often in life do we have experiences much less opportunities to discover our self on a deeper level?  Trusting and believing in a process that gently shows us a bit of who we are.

By knowing myself in this new way is also reflected in how I know and observe life and others around me.

May this help you in finding an answer you are seeking for yourself?  Reiki came at a perfect time in my life as I was in search of self, ready to discover that there is so much more to life.  Reiki is a great tool, and has been a great guide in teaching me to listen and hear myself.

I am very thrilled for my future possibilities w/ Reiki.
 
I have noticed that my car is getting better gas mileage, 1 to 2 gallons more.  I have to yet to actually Reiki my car so big things are yet to come. 
 
I have to say, I am loving this.  I feel like a little kid at the playground.  What should I play on now.  I am getting a feel of how I respond to the energy.  I get a surge in my facial nerves when I Reiki my food and drinks, etc.  When the surge subsides, I know it is ok to release.
 
I have given distant Reiki to my daughter twice now.  I can tell a HUGE difference from her energy than anything I have experienced so far.  It is like a million needles tingling through my body.  That was an exciting revelation for me to notice the difference.  
 
I have noticed for myself that PMS symptoms are gone.  Normally my hormones are so out of whack it triggers a rheumatoid flare which pretty much paralyzes me.  For two months now, nothing.  Since Reiki II training, I have lost 4 pounds.    
 
I am loving it.  Thank you so much.     Danielle S.

Oh, I’m having a blast with the Reiki.   I am more and more in tune with it, I can feel the vibration in my hands when I turn it on.   I’ve done my peach trees, pine trees, the peas and flowers as I planted them.  The most profound…. Is Breanna, she lays in front of me most every night and lays so still and peeks at me wanting the Reiki, she would lay there for hours.  She loves it.   The puppy likes it too, but prefers to touch me while I Reiki myself.  Duffy will take it for about 15 minutes and then he moves away.     I even dared to do my bosses foot, he was having terrible heel pain last week.  He didn’t have time for the whole 90 minutes, plus we were at work.  So I asked for assistance if this would work and if so where to place my hands and I got my answers…. I had about 35 minutes and my boss actually admitted that his foot wasn’t hurting as bad and got through the weekend in less pain.   I feel really good about it.      I often think back to our walk up at the Attunement rock, I so enjoyed that….. talk about feeling complete.  You are the best.  Have a great weekend.  Hugs to you and your fur kids…    Julie M.

About nine months ago, my husband and I went to Chicago to join some other folks in learning about Reiki. Although I have always been interested in healing (I’m a nurse with 24 years of school and public health nursing history), I was actually skeptical, not so much that Reiki didn’t work or wasn’t legitimate, as that it wouldn’t work FOR ME! I have never been one to have unusual or “woo-woo” experiences, am very practical and no nonsense, but also have long had an interest in spirituality and things “out there”.  I’m afraid I gave Diana, our teacher, a hard time by questioning her somewhat harshly (which I didn’t really realize at the time). But I went through the training and the “attunements” and began half-heartedly to do some Reiki as we had been instructed, but not very diligently, and not very often.  I was more “playing” with it, as I still didn’t really know what I wanted to do with it. Then came the time for the second class, for which we were going to Idaho, and our group wanted to do this all together.  I didn’t want to miss out on the fun and “lose face” with my friends, and still had a subliminal desire to do more in healing than I had learned via allopathic medicine.  But a trip to Idaho isn’t cheap, (from Indiana), and I wanted to be sure that I really wanted to learn.  Also, I had to QUALIFY for the course, and go through a phone interview with Diana. This made me get more serious and really look at whether I wanted to do this.  She told me I needed to get more serious about actually using the Reiki I had learned, and asked me why I should be considered for the class.  I answered as honestly as I knew how, saying that I did have a deep desire to learn and help others through this method.  (Then I also stepped up the Reiki practice after that!)

So we took the Reiki II class this January, and I really became more serious about Reiki as a way of life, and understanding life as greater energy which ties all of us together.  We have the ability to tap into this energy in the ways that Diana had been trained and then taught us.  It still blows me away that it is really so simple.  I do Reiki pretty regularly now, and expect to feel the energy moving beneath my hands and the connection with the person I am “working” on, even at a distance. I have helped two people to cross over the barrier between this life and the next.  I have given Reiki to a friend with severe clinical depression, and she said she was “in heaven”.  I have done Reiki on my husband when he was in his office seeing patients toward the end of a very busy day, and he experienced a lifting of tiredness and ability to go on.  I also was blessed to Reiki another healer who said she had not let anyone lay hands on her for the last seven years, because of a traumatic history of abuse.  I have had other experiences as well.

For myself, I experience a calming and lifting and readiness to get on with whatever I need to do. In short, Reiki has been a true blessing in my life and I will use it for the rest of my life.  I thank Diana for her accepting me into the class, and for the things she has taught us.  I thank Marcy, her assistant, as well.  Both have become true friends.

If you are curious about or thinking of taking Reiki I, I would encourage you to call Diana and get a Reiki treatment from her first, or simply sign up for her next class.

Traditional Reiki I Workshop Review- November, 2007

I recently had the pleasure of being invited to join a two day class and get attuned to the first level of Reiki. Studying spiritualism for the last seven years, it had come to my attention that I needed to experience exactly what people meant when they were talking about feeling and seeing energy.  I have had very brief moments of each and wanted to escalate those encounters, but had no idea how. A couple of friends of mine are into Reiki and after listening to them describe it and having experienced the healing properties of Reiki in a session with them, I decided that this was just what I was looking for.

Searching into Reiki on the internet I signed up for an online course. Following the course step by step, at its conclusion, I got absolutely nothing out of it. It was a complete waste of time and money. I still felt that Reiki was the way to go for me, so when I heard a few other friends were gathering a class together for a live Reiki training I immediately jumped in.

The instructor, Diana Siderides, is a Master in Traditional Reiki and studied under one of the only three Grand Masters of Reiki that there are, and has practiced this form of energetic healing for about thirty-three years. For me, those two facts alone, told me she was the instructor I was looking for. I definitely did not want some watered down version, interpreted version, or someone’s hybrid version. Whenever I want to know or learn something, I always go to, or get as close as possible to, the source, where the lesson is in its truest and most pure, original form. Also, the fact that Diana has been practicing with traditional Reiki for over thirty-three years, tells me she has an extensive working knowledge and practical experience with it. In my book, there is absolutely nothing more powerful than personal experience!

As a person, I love Diana’s sense of humor. Although she keeps it well hidden, when it finally seeps through, it shows the inner joy of a life filled with richness and the peace of finding and fulfilling a noble purpose. What Ms. Siderides can not hide is, her genuine love of nature’s aesthetic beauty, her deep felt compassion for all life, animal, plant and mineral, as well as human, and her veracious concern to aid and help guide all to a more serene and tranquil coexistence.

Diana, the instructor, has a direct, no-nonsense, and to the point style of teaching, that can be likened to a breath of fresh clean air. You may not be used to it and have to gulp it in at first, but in time your body realizes this is the way it should be and was meant to be, and you begin to appreciate the crisp clearness of it, making you want to absorb as much as possible. Her two day trainings have no time for “fillers” as they are literally packed with a perfect mix of teachings, hands on experience, and spiritualistic connections.  And of course, she has an enormously vast array of personally acquired examples (stories) of her life working with Reiki, to astound and open exciting new pathways of unlimited possibilities for her students.

My personal encounter with Diana’s Level I Reiki training, unlocked a multitude of emotions and energies within me. Under Diana’s guidance, I learned how to connect to the healing energy known as Reiki, (which loosely translates from Japanese to “universal life force that animates all living things”), and channel it through myself, virtually becoming a receiving antennae and conduit, into the energy field and body of a fellow being. When introduced into ones body, Reiki removes blockages in a person’s energy flow and resets their system to its original state of perfect health and harmony. While still considering my self to be a novice and my almost daily practices of Reiki being done mainly on myself, I have experienced amazing sessions with this force. I literally and physically feel this healing energy enter into my body and flow through my hands into the subject. When the subject is myself, I feel Reiki re-entering my body through my hands where I can relax and leave it to clear and heal the most pertinent issues of my body, or if I let my ego get involved, I can direct it to any part of my body I choose. The calmness and peace of mind, not to mention the excitement of every cell in my body jubilant from getting a recharge after each session, is indescribable.  And my cats, one in particular, never misses a session, as they instinctually gravitate towards and love to bask in this natural life force.

While I know Reiki is not the totality of my life’s calling, it is so congruent, that I have determined it mandatory and have scheduled my Reiki Level II training. (He learned Reiki II in January 2008).

Diana, it is with my sincerest gratitude that I have been connected with the honest and dedicated traditional Reiki missionary that is you.
Thank you!

Traditional Reiki II workshop - November 2005

WOW!!!! Luckily I'm a writer and I never run into the problem of "there's nothing more to say"! 

I attended a Reiki II workshop this weekend near Emmett at the home of my Reiki Teacher and Reiki Master - Diana Siderides. It was so incredible, so empowering, and eye opening on so many levels. Just when you think it's gotten as cool or powerful as it possible could, Spirit opens up another door, we climb another flight of stairs and it keeps spiraling ever upward. 

For those unfamiliar with Reiki - it is a hands-on healing practice in which the practitioner calls in the universal life energy known as Reiki and channels it through to himself, a person, an object, a situation, etc... Begun in the 19th century in Japan (long LONG, but beautiful, story) it first came to the US in the middle of the 20th century, and now has quite a following, with thousands of practitioners. 

There are three levels of Reiki - I, 2, and 3, and each level is a deeper initiation into the spiritual and energetic power of the energy. In First degree, we become connected to the power through attunements in which the teacher connects us with the energy, and learn how to use the flow through hand positions. During Second Degree, we were attuned on a more powerful level, and learned symbols to use in our practice to call in even more energy and to practice distantly - i.e. the person or object we were treating did not have to be in the same physical space as us. 

There's obviously a lot more about Reiki, but this will suffice as a general introduction. Check out the internet to learn more about the wide world of Reiki, its history and its practices. 

In Second Degree, I found the energy of the house and my hands to be so strong it was almost surreal. Diana, my teacher whom I have known for over a year now, is so full of healing energy and love and REALNESS that it was wonderful just to be in her presence. She has been practicing Reiki for over 30 years and her attunement, connection, and understanding of the Reiki Consciousness is amazing. 

I found during this class that I was open to hearing and seeing more about these aspects. I meet a lot of healers in the work that I do, and often, as is the case with most human beings, I make an impression of them based on a lot of things when I meet and interact with them. From my gut, head, and obviously my own past experiences, and the words that come out of their mouths. With Diana I realized that I had put her in my life as an amazing Reiki teacher, but there were things about her life that I couldn't place in my own understanding of Enlightenment or being awake. What I found this time was that either she opened up or revealed herself more, or I was suddenly open and aware to more, but I know that she is WAY deeper than I realized, and on, what my TOSA friends would call (see last blog message) the level of Ascension Awareness, while I am still operating a lot of the time out of Spiritual Activism. 

At any rate, I now hold her in my heart as a Teacher of all things, someone to look up to, and a spiritual guide. I'm so grateful that I was open to that experience, and open to having my ideas challenged and to letting them go. 

While I can't go into the symbol details or much more, I will say that allowing myself to go deeper I gave myself such a huge gift, and feel today that my ability as a healer is more rightly aligned with the Universe, and that while I still have life doubts, and all of that, there exists a place and a power I can go to inside myself and all around me, that exists on a higher vibration but is ever available. For instance, when I was with Diana I felt and saw myself as a successful Reiki practitioner, and when I pulled into my driveway, I felt that it was a pipe dream, that no one would ever respond to my ad, and that I would always be scrounging for money, blah blah blah. I know that this is a common feeling in this Valley, particularly about the lack and not-enoughness, and that I have the CHOICE as to whether I will buy into it - operate at that level - or choose to operate on another level. I don't have to do anything. 

That's my report from this weekend. I offer it to you in hopes that it will spark your own inner and outer explorations! Angela Earle
