Chapter Nine, 'Level One' - Part Two

Chapter Nine Cont.
Level One

Her words stir the inside of my body. I feel like crying, but decide to hold back my tears. “It will unearth what has been long hidden and denied within you, that being- your power. As you move through the unblocking of fears held within, and as you heal those fears and shift them in the name of self love- you will experience great empowerment. A literal detachment will occur between you and your past. You have the ability to free yourself from those parts of self that no longer serve your highest good, and Reiki can gently assist you along that path.”

Next Sharon opens a box of crayons and pulls blank sheets of paper from her carry bag. She places them onto the table where we sit and shows us a picture of the Cho Ku Rei symbol that we will each be attuned with and tells us to draw it. Sharon urges us to draw the symbol big and small. The guidance is to simply draw it exactly as it is shown, over and over again- in different colors if we like, until we feel a transmission of energy- a subtle connection with the symbol.

Upon drawing the symbol there is a fierce recognition I am doing exactly what I am supposed to be doing; which is meeting with these women and sharing this experience. June mentions feeling giggly as she draws the symbol, and with a sudden character change appears to be drunk, wobbling in her chair while slowly blinking both eyes at the same time, as if to clear her vision. I begin to laugh out loud and feel a surge of what I can only call ‘energy bubbles’ float up my spine. I have loosened up now, and am feeling more relaxed than before. We color for ten minutes or so and as I look up and catch my gaze with Sharon, she signals it is time to move to the next phase of our meeting.“Who wants to go first?” She says. I raise my hand and volunteer for my Level-One Reiki Attunement.

It is amazing to consider how my travels around the world have brought me here, now. Sharon places a chair in front of the window, and in view of June. I follow her directions and sit down in the chair. She instructs me to uncross my legs and ground the soles of my feet to the floor. Taking a long deep breath I  close my eyes, place my hands in a prayer position at heart level as per her instructions. I am suddenly aware of her warm hands as they gently rest upon my shoulders. I feel a pulse of energy moving through us both. What exactly happens next, I am unsure of. I can only tell that Sharon is at once standing behind me, and continues moving to the front of me. At one point she opens my hands and scribbles upon them with what feels like her fingertips. She then moves around me once again and  back to her starting position with her hands gently resting upon my shoulders.

Chapter Nine- 'Level One'


Follow postings of unpublished works from my upcoming book entitled 

Chapter Nine
Level One

We meet in a dark doorway along a quiet street in Brooklyn. The ground is wet and stained with rainfall. Though unsure of what is to come, I feel ready for anything. On the phone Sharon mentioned another member from the Monday night group will be joining us. When Sharon arrives, she silently looks at me with that Mona Lisa smile, though this time there is an air of militant vibrato about her. She nods to me stiffly- as if we would find ourselves at this dark hide away to scan government blue prints for hidden messages.

She unlocks the door and we make our way up the stairs to a room filled with only a table and three chairs. I sit briefly with Sharon, making small talk as we wait for the other member of our assembly, and soon she arrives.  It’s ‘June’ from the group meeting. June is a tough looking lady. Maggie told me she has spent many years driving trucks across country. She appears exteriorly hardened by many late nights behind the wheel. Her face is heavily wrinkled. My guess is it’s the steadily visited Marlboro Reds. Maggie says she has been smoking for over thirty years. Her demeanor is masculine, yet sweet. I catch myself pondering for a moment if she is perhaps gay. She wears a thick un-tucked green lumberjack shirt with a pair of soiled jeans and heavy work boots. She smiles politely to me as she sits down wide legged. I have not yet made a strong connection with June, and I don’t know how long she has been a part of the group.

We three sit finding a silent moment, and from that point Sharon begins to recite on Reiki. She speaks of how the Level One Attunement will help to clear the ‘crystalline tube’ within the body by the use of an ancient symbol that will become energetically implanted into our bodies during the process. “The name of the symbol that goes with the Level One attunement is Cho Ku Rei. This symbol will open the way for deep self healing, opening channels throughout the body and within the palms of the

hands. It will create a recognizable shift in the flow of universal life-force energy through you. Level One is generally connected to clearing the first chakra and all associated issues held there from all life times.” She continues. “Every part of you that is ready to receive healing, change, and balance for the highest good- will. This attunement is primarily about you learning to give back to yourself, you learning to love yourself, and so- with it, you learning to heal yourself CONSCIOUSLY.”
