Reiki Cairns Teaching Usui Shiki Ryoho, the gentle folk healing art of Reiki

No doubt you will know the story of the Trojan Horse, how the Greek soldiers entered Troy in the belly of a huge wooden Horse, a “gift” left to the city when the invaders supposedly withdrew. 

These days the Trojan you hear of most often is a rogue computer programme. On the surface it appears to be a useful utility, something that gets you to instal it, but behind the scenes a companion programme is running, doing something entirely in secret.

In a way, Reiki is like that. The Reiki trojan is the healing practice. “Healing” as a physical phenomena is the attraction, gets you to run the programme, and it works quite nicely in that role, and it keeps the trojan programme active. But behind that process is another stealth process, running in the background, unseen and for the most part undetectable.

What is this stealth program doing? Its attempting to overwrite a very real rogue process on your hard drive. Thats the process called “ego mind”, the programme that trips you up with its belief systems, creates separation, suffering, and all that ails you.

This rogue process is a utility programme that has taken control, rewriting and mutating itself to survive. That’s just what it does. Its tricky to get it back to doing what it was designed to do, but it can be done.  

If the Reiki trojan crashes the rogue programme, you will be in no doubt you have been “hacked”. This is a very good thing to happen. It is the real healing that many seek, the “getting real”, the “end of our stories”, the end of suffering. Its also called awakening and enlightenment.

Mikao Usui wasn’t joking when he called it the “secret method”.
