Sacred Flames Reiki

What is Reiki?

Reiki (pronounced Ray-key) is Japanese forUniversal Life-force, or Spiritually-Guided Energy.There are two parts to the word. Rei meansUniversal, or all-encompassing and all-knowing.Rei is what you might think of as your "Inner Self"or your "Higher Power". Ki means Life-forceenergy, and is the same thing as Chi in Chinese, Tiin Hawaiian, and I believe it to be the same thingthat people call Super Strings in physics. Whateveryou call it, Ki is the energy that runs througheverything at all times. It is the energy that bindsall living things together. There is an unlimitedamount of Ki flowing into and around the Earththat anyone can extract for healing and/or strength.Put this energy together with the wisdom of the"Universal Mind" and you've got the most powerfulsource of energy healing available... Reiki.

Who Can Do Reiki?

Because Reiki is from God, Goddess, Buddha,Allah, The Creator, Spirit, Source, The UniversalMind, Your Inner-Self, or whatever you call it orthem, anyone can "do" it. We are all equal, and weALL have the ability to heal ourselves and others. Itis our birthright.All that is needed to channel Reiki successfully is anopen mind and heart and the unselfish desire orintention to heal.

What is Sacred Flames Reiki?

Sacred Flames Reiki (SFR) is a powerful system thatI compiled from different resources (in the physicaland spiritual realms) to share with all those drawnto it. SFR is a set of guided visualizations andmeditations designed to help the body, mind, andspirit heal themselves, and/or to maintain goodbalance within the systems of the body, both

Sacred Flames Reiki

physically and energetically. There are no symbolsor complicated techniques to learn. The methodsused in SFR are very simple, yet extremely effective.I make no claim that the Sacred Flames Reiki energyis more powerful or of a higher frequency than anyother form of Reiki. This is an individualperception and is left up to you to decide. All Reikienergies come from the same Source, it is how weconnect to the energy that makes it unique. If youfeel drawn to this method, it is most likely becauseit resonates well with your Spirit. This is reasonenough to learn these techniques, which arebrought to us from the Highest Source.In SFR, you will find references to connecting withspecific Ascended Masters, as well as Archangelsand other "spirit guides". There is no requirementor suggestion to change any of your current beliefs.These specific aspects of God/Goddess/The All ThatIs/etc are here to help humans of all religiousbackgrounds and spiritual beliefs. We are allindividuals and unique and, therefore, I believe ourspiritual natures are also unique. You are

8

Allison Dahlhaus

encouraged to honor the Divine Source that you arefamiliar with and again, in no way change yourbelief system. I feel it is necessary to give credit tothese aspects of the Divine for their guidance andsupport of Sacred Flames Reiki, for without them,this system would not exist.That being said, let us now continue with whatSacred Flames Reiki has to offer. SFR works withthe gifts that fire bestows on us in the metaphysicalsense. These gifts can be related to the physicalworld as well. Think for a moment about what firewould provide you with in a totally natural setting.

ProtectionNourishment

Light

Metaphysically speaking, the element of fire is usedfor protection from negative energy. Fire is theelement of the South in shamanism and itsattributes are strength, protection, purification, andfaith. Fire nourishes our spiritual hunger - the

9

Sacred Flames Reiki

desire to grow and heighten our awareness. Thisfire burns inside us all. Just as it is necessary toexercise the body to keep it functioning, it is alsoimperative to exercise the mind and spirit tomaintain proper health. Fire is a gift from aboveand below - it is fueled by the resources of MotherNature and the air from above and around us. Theelement of fire provides us with spiritual light,making our soul's path visible to us.Now, what does fire do for our mental/emotionalstate? Have you ever sat in front of a fire and juststared at the flames? You have probably heard ofmeditations that involve candlelight. This iscommonly known as Tratak and will be discussedlater. If you've tried this type of meditation, youknow how effective it is. Our minds connect to firein a very special way. Perhaps, subconsciously, werecognize how much we relied on fire in ancienttimes. There is something awesome about a forcethat is so graceful, yet powerful.

Divine Support

The Seven Sacred Flames of Sacred Flames Reiki aresupported by the Seven Chohans: AscendedMasters El Morya, Lanto, Serapis Bey, Kuthumi,Hilarion, Lady Nada, and St. Germain.And of course Sacred Flames Reiki would not existwithout the help and guidance of ArchangelMichael, as well as the other archangels – Gabriel,Raphael, and Uriel.

We all have access to these aspects of the Divine,but in receiving the attunement to Sacred FlamesReiki and practicing the included techniques, youwill be clearing the channel to these Masters andArchangels, who anxiously await the chance toraise the vibrational level of humankind.

The Chakras

Chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning "wheel".Chakras are the energy centers of our bodies thatturn and 'process' the life force energy inside of us.There are seven main chakras in the body, each onehas a specific color and function. In traditionalWestern Reiki, this is where the hand positions areheld. They are all located in the center of the body.The Root Chakra is located at the base of the spine,the Sacral Chakra is in the lower abdomen, SolarPlexus is in between the navel and the base of thesternum, Heart is below the collar bone, Throat is atthe base of the neck, Third Eye is above andbetween the eye brows, and the Crown is above andon top of the head.

Intentions

Before doing Sacred Flames Reiki it's always a goodidea to set an intention. This is like turning on a"Reiki switch" that gets the energy flowing andallows you to relax and focus. I like to put myhands together in the prayer or "Gassho" position.Ask your inner self what a good intention for thesituation is if you are unsure. Here are someexamples: "Let Reiki flow through me for theGreatest Good of (person's name, mankind, theEarth, etc.), "May (person's name) find the source oftheir problem" or "May we all be freed from painand suffering" or "Let my Sacred Flames Reikisession go perfectly" or "May I find my path andpurpose in life". Or you can just say "Sacred FlamesReiki". Any intention is fine, just say whatevercomes to mind, and then drop it. Do not let theintention distract you from being an empty channelto the healing energy.*Remember that you are not directing the energy.Reiki knows where to go, let it guide you to the

16

Allison Dahlhaus

source of the problem. Trust your intuition. Layyour hands in the position and just Be.

Letting Go of Outcomes

As a Reiki practitioner you must learn to let go ofoutcomes. Reiki is intelligent energy that will gowhere it is needed. It only works for the GreatestGood in any situation, and at times the greatestgood may not be what we or someone else wants. Itmay be hard at times to accept the way things mustbe for the Greater Good, for example, letting go of aloved one who is ready to pass on, or not getting ajob we want even though it's really not right for us.It's always good to look at the bright side. Whenwe get stuck in traffic, perhaps something badwould have happened to us if we didn't, or if wehad lots of money maybe we wouldn't appreciatethings as much. Remember that Reiki will never doharm, it is pure and loving and totallyunconditional. Never let anyone convince you that

17

Sacred Flames Reiki

Reiki shouldn't be used at a certain time, they areconfused about the true meaning of Reiki or theymay be doing a different form of energy healing.There is no time when Reiki is “bad” because it isintelligent beyond our imaginations. It knowsexactly when (and in what way) to heal.

What are Attunements?

Attunements are part of what separates Reiki fromother energy healing modalities. They are alsoknown as initiations or empowerments. There is noscientific explanation (that I know of) as to how andwhy they work, they just do. Here's a way to thinkof what an attunement does: We all have thecapability of connecting to the Universal Life forceEnergy, in fact, when we are born we are totallyconnected to it. Over time the connection getsweaker as we become more connected to thephysical and emotional aspects of the Earth.Becoming attuned is kind of like tuning a radio. It'salso making a statement to our subconscious mindsthat we are ready to take control of our lives, ourhealth, and our spiritual well-being, and we aregoing to do it with our own two hands!

Your SFR Attunement

Now that you've learned a bit about Sacred FlamesReiki, let's begin the journey with the method ofreceiving your initiation into this system - YourSacred Flames Reiki Attunement!Attunements can be sent and received through timeand space, which do not hinder the energy in anyway. It's a well-known theory that energy cannot bedestroyed. Distance Attunements rely on the powerof our minds and the spiritual forces.You will simply set aside some special time,approximately 15-20 minutes, where you will not bedistracted in any way. Sit or lay in a comfortableposition and set the intention to receive yourattunement to Sacred Flames Reiki. You might liketo invite your spirit guides, the Archangels,Ascended Masters, etc. It is a good idea to light acandle while setting your intention, to remindyourself of the gifts that fire brings to us.Please see the listing of SFR practitioners at thefollowing website to find a Sacred Flames Reiki

21

Sacred Flames Reiki

Master who resonates well with you. You shouldcontact them about receiving the attunement(hands-on or distance) and any fees that may beinvolved.www.sacredflamesreiki.com

Cleansing Period

Many people experience a cleansing period afterreceiving an attunement. This cleansing is all of thenegative stuff he or she has been keeping bottled upinside, whether physical, emotional, or spiritual,coming out. A cleansing period may take the formof anything from an immediate emotional release togetting a cold a few days later. During the first 21-30 days after an attunement it is a good idea to tryto stay away from red meat, coffee, alcohol,smoking and fried foods, and to get lots of rest,drink plenty of clean water, and practice self-healing everyday. If at any time, the cleansingperiod seems to be more than you can handle,

22

Allison Dahlhaus

simply ask for the SFR energy to flow more gently.

Passing the Sacred Flames ReikiAttunement

(Hands-on or Distance)

After receiving your attunement to Sacred FlamesReiki, you can then begin passing it on to othersthrough the following attunement method. Thismethod is effective for both hands-on and distantattunements. When passing distant attunements, itis suggested that you set up a date and time for theattunement that is convenient for both you and thereceiver. Although the attunement would workwithout the recipient being aware of what time itwas being sent, it is nice to be able to record theexperiences that you and the receiver have at thatparticular time. Ask the receiver to light a candlebefore the attunement time and to focus on it for ashort time. She should set her intention to receivethe attunement, close her eyes and relax for theremaining 15-20 minutes.

23

Sacred Flames Reiki

• Begin by setting up your sacred space. Forexample, light candles (you will need to light atleast one candle in front of you), play music,invite your Spiritual Guides to assist you, etc.You might like to specifically ask ArchangelMichael for his guidance and protection duringthe attunement.

• Set the intention for the Sacred Flames Reikiattunement to work perfectly and for the HighestGood of the receiver and everyone involved.

• Imagine violet or golden lines of energyconnecting your Higher Self with the Higher Selfof the recipient. These lines can connect throughyour crown, third eye, or heart chakras,whichever you feel is your place of power.

• Staring at the candle in front of you, you are nowgoing to charge your hands with fire energy. Youcan do this by holding your hands in line with the

24

Allison Dahlhaus

rays of light that come from the candle's flame.Try experimenting with your focus until you seethe rays shooting out of the flame. Hold yourhands here for as long as you feel guided to doso.

• You are now ready to invite the Archangels andMasters who have made the Sacred Flamesavailable to us. You can say something like, "I askthat members of the Angelic Realm and theAscended Masters of the Sacred Flames pleasejoin me in sharing the healing energies andinitiation into Sacred Flames Reiki with Receiver'sName.” (You can additionally invite others to joinin, especially those with whom you have a specialconnection.)

Now, it's time to ignite the Sacred Flames in thereceiver!

Below is a guided meditation that I recommendusing. It is not necessary to memorize this script

25

Sacred Flames Reiki

but you will most likely do so after passing a coupleof attunements. Stay focused on each chakra for aslong as you are guided to do so. Feel free to alterthe words as you see fit for yourself.

• Hold your hands (palms down) slightly above thereceiver's base/root chakra (if this is a distanceattunement, you can just visualize this), say(either out loud or silently) and visualize thefollowing:

• "May the Red Sacred Flame of Faith & Protectionburn brightly in Receiver's Name, cleansing andbalancing his/her Base Chakra."

• Move your hands up till they are over thereceiver's sacral chakra. Say and visualize thefollowing:

• "May the Orange Sacred Flame of Creativity &Passion burn brightly in Receiver's Name,cleansing and balancing his/her Sacral Chakra."

• Move up to above the solar plexus. Say and

26

Allison Dahlhaus

visualize the following:• "May the Yellow Sacred Flame of Personal Power

& Self Confidence burn brightly in Receiver'sName, cleansing and balancing his/her SolarPlexus Chakra."

• Move up to above the heart chakra. Say andvisualize the following:

• "May the Green Sacred Flame of Love &Compassion burn brightly in Receiver's Name,cleansing and balancing his/her Heart Chakra."

• Move up to above the receiver's throat chakra.Say and visualize the following:

• "May the Blue Sacred Flame of Communication &Self-expression burn brightly in Receiver's Name,cleansing and balancing his/her Throat Chakra."

• Move up to above the third eye chakra. Say andvisualize the following:

• "May the Indigo Sacred Flame of Enlightenment& Divine Inspiration burn brightly in Receiver's

27

Sacred Flames Reiki

Name, cleansing and balancing his/her Third EyeChakra."

• Now hold your hands (palms still down) over thereceiver's crown chakra. Say and visualize thefollowing:

• "May the Violet Sacred Flame of Spirituality &Divine Guidance burn brightly in Receiver's Name,cleansing and balancing his/her Crown Chakra."

• Now visualize the Violet Sacred Flame slowlyburning from the receiver's crown chakra all theway down to the bottoms of his feet. Imagine theenergy flowing down into the ground where itheals all of Mother Earth as well. I like tovisualize the Earth surrounded by an aura ofviolet light.

Give thanks to all those involved in the attunementand visualize the golden or violet lines thatconnected you and the receiver, slowly dissolving.And that's it!

SFR Healing Session

Sacred Flames Reiki can be used with any otherenergy healing system or all by itself. When doingany Reiki session, you should always let yourintuition be your guide.Before the session begins, I suggest you ask yourclient what he wants the outcome of the session tobe. This is good information to have when settingyour intention. Your client may not tell you whathe really wants, but that is okay. Let him tell you asmuch or as little as he wants to - do not press himfor more information. If you are performing adistant healing, chances are, you already know thereason that healing is needed. If your client has nohealth problems or you do not know them, simplyset your intention for the Sacred Flames to work forthe Highest Good of the recipient.Your client should set the intention to receive thehealing energies of Sacred Flames Reiki, be seatedor lying comfortably, and be free from distractionsfor at least 10-20 minutes.

30

Allison Dahlhaus

• Light a candle and focus on the flame for a fewmoments while you set your intention and invitethe Ascended Masters and Archangels of theSacred Flames to assist and protect you duringthe healing session.

• Staring at the candle in front of you, you are nowgoing to charge your hands with fire energy. Youcan do this by holding your hands in line with therays of light that come from the candle's flame.Try experimenting with your focus until you seethe rays shooting out of the flame. Hold yourhands here for as long as you feel guided to doso.

• Rub your palms briskly together for a second ortwo at about waist level. Now open them up andfocus on your palms. Visualize the Violet SacredFlame igniting on each of your palms.

• Move your hands (palms down) to the areadirectly over your client's head and visualize the

31

Sacred Flames Reiki

Violet Sacred Flame flowing from your palms andinto the client's body. Imagine the color violetfilling up her entire physical body and auric field.Let this energy flow for as long as you like.

• Take a step back, rub your palms together again.Open your hands, look at your palms, andvisualize the Indigo Sacred Flame igniting oneach of your palms.

• Move your hands (palms down) to the areadirectly over your client's third eye chakra.Visualize the Indigo Sacred Flame flowing fromyour palms into the receiver's third eye. Imaginethe color indigo filling up her entire physicalbody and auric field. Stay with this energy for aslong as you feel guided to do so.

• Step back again, rubbing your palms together,and opening them. This time, visualizing theBlue Sacred Flame igniting in your palms.

32

Allison Dahlhaus

• Hold your palms over the receiver's throat chakraand again, see the Sacred Flame flowing into her,filling her entire body and aura.

• Continue this method for the remaining SacredFlames (Green over Heart Chakra, Yellow overSolar Plexus, Orange over Sacral, and Red overBase Chakra) in the same way you did the others.

• Once you have finished with each chakra,imagine the White Sacred Flame (which containsall the Sacred Flames) engulfing your client'sbody and aura. This White Sacred Flameregulates and balances all of the chakras, burningaway any negative energy in its path andreplacing it with the love and healing of theindividual flames.

• Conclude the session by giving thanks to all thosethat made the healing session possible, includingyour client.

33

Sacred Flames Reiki

Picking up Negative Energy

If you find that after you do a session on someoneyou have acquired the person's symptoms or youfeel worn out, you have either tried to direct theenergy yourself, been connected to or overlyconcerned about the outcome, or you used yourown energy to do the healing. Don't worry, it's avery common mistake and can be easily corrected.Just imagine that White Light surrounds you. TheLight penetrates your entire body through everypore. As you breathe in, imagine sucking in theWhite Light and filling your body up with it, feel ittraveling all the way down to your fingers and toes,and as you breathe out imagine that everything thatis not White Light is being blown away.*Remember that Reiki knows what is best for all.You have no part in the actual healing of anotherperson other than being the channel for theunconditional love that will help her to heal herself.The people receiving the Reiki and the UniversalLife force are the healing powers in Reiki. Giving a

34

Allison Dahlhaus

Reiki session should make you feel really good,almost as good as when you are the receiver,because the energy is flowing through you and intoher. The more Reiki you give, the more you receive.

My Sacred Flames Vision

I have had a recurring vision and I will try torecreate it for you here. This vision is to be used forhealing and can be used by anyone, at any time.I'm watching everything from high in the sky.There is a huge white flame, similar to a bonfire.The flame reflects all the colors of the rainbow onthe ground around it, like a prism. There is aperson sitting "Indian style" in the center of thewhite flame. He is being cleansed and purified bythe flame. All negativity flows out of him andthrough the flame, where it is transformed intopure white light. The negative energy exits throughthe top of the flame as misty white smoke.Making a large circle surrounding the white flame

35

Sacred Flames Reiki

are seven smaller flames, which correspond to thechakras - Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo,and Violet. They appear to be watching the personinside the white flame in approval while sendingrays of their energy to help with the healing.This vision is to be used by anyone, with theintention to cleanse and purify themselves oranyone or anything else that is in need of healingenergy.If you do not know what the person/animal/etclooks like, you can just imagine her name in theflame and the effect will be just as powerful.

Tratak

Tratak is the Yogic practice of focusing the eyes andmind on a candle flame or other special object.Tratak helps to balance both hemispheres of thebrain and produces large amounts of melatonin (ahormone which has been shown to greatly reducethe risk of cancer). Tratak is also an effective way toimprove your powers of concentration.Place a lit candle in front of you (about three feetaway) at eye level. Close your eyes and focus onyour breathing for a few minutes. Take slow andsteady breaths and feel yourself relaxing deeperand deeper. Now open your eyes and stare at theflame for a couple of minutes. Try not to let yourfocus fall away from the flame. Remain focusedand stare intently at the flame, allowing its image tobecome imprinted in your mind. Blink as often asnecessary and close your eyes if they start to getsore or too watery. Dismiss all thoughts and afterabout two minutes, close your eyes and try to retainthe image of the flame in as much detail as possible.

38

Allison Dahlhaus

If the image starts to fade, open your eyes briefly.Do this for as long as you feel is appropriate. Asyour concentration improves, lengthen the time thatyou practice Tratak.

Some Experiences from SFRAttunements

Before offering Sacred Flames Reiki, I practiced theattunement technique quite a few times on mywonderful and willing friends and family so that Imight pass this information on to you. It can behelpful to hear what others experience duringattunements. Always remember that there is noright or wrong way to feel during an attunement.We are each different and every experience isperfect at that time for that person. Some people(my husband, Erick, for example) will experiencenothing physically during the attunement and thisdoes not mean that it was not a success. Erick fellasleep right afterward and has been going through

39

Sacred Flames Reiki

many positive changes since that time.You may also find that the receiver experiences theattunement effects for quite some time after youhave completed the process. The energy knowshow much work is needed and will not stop justbecause you have finished your meditation. Forthis reason, you should wait at least 20-30 minutesto expect a response from the energy; sometimes itmight take days.

Sacred Flames Reiki Attunement Testimonial #1from Adrien in Canada:

"Hi!Wow, this was GREAT!!!!!! ...Here is what happened.....initially my hands got hotand it was definitely concentrated at ALL of myfingertips. It felt like flames shooting from myfingertips - it was wild!!!!! Then the energy beganto spread and make ripples from my fingertips overmy palms and back. This continued for a bit andthen the ripple turned into a sweeping wave.Hands were still hot!

40

Allison Dahlhaus

Then it felt as though (and I saw this as a vision too)there was a veil/covering that was being pulledfrom the front of my neck area up and over my faceto my crown chakra. This seemed to happen 3times. Then there was LOTS of purpleeverywhere!!!!! Then I felt a tingling in my thirdeye and this feeling seemed to travel and beconnected up to and including my crown chakra.VERY cool!!!All the while the feeling in the hands (after theenergy seemed to slow down) was that they didn'texist. Very numb/heavy feel. No control over them.Then I kind of lost consciousness briefly as I floatedand at the end I heard someone say "don't delay!"From start to finish it took 15 - 20 minutes. By theway, my cat Tango was with me for most of it. Thisis normal for her. She is attuned to everything I amattuned to. She snuggles up next to my hands andstays until its over. Often she watches the energyand colours. At time she has even touched the partsof my body the person was putting the symbolsinto. VERY neat!!!!

Sacred Flames Reiki Attunement Testimonial #2from Kim in New York:

"....for starters....I smudged the entire house andblessed it before the attunement.Then I sat with the room candle light and some softReiki music on in the back ground. This alwayshelps me to clear my mind and stay focused. At thebeginning...I could feel the energy swirling in a typeof funnel form...all around my body and extendingup over my head..up high. The swirling energychanged in form and color.... a light purple to darkpurple...and even an indigo bluish color....it did thisfor a few min.'s... then, I got this sense that youwere here with me. I uncrossed my legs to justdrop down below me and extended my arms upand out... as if we were touching our palmstogether.... hand to hand... facing eachother. Andthen I could just feel this sense... it is very hard to

42

Allison Dahlhaus

explain... it was emotional (for some reason) noparticular rhyme or reason... I just had tears flowingfrom my eyes... and a complete sense of peace orfreedom. Shortly after that it was all over... for me itlasted about 20 min or so...I sat for a few more min."

Sacred Flames Reiki Attunement Testimonial #3from Steve in the United Kingdom:

"Hi Alli.It began with activity within straight away, a sort oflock-on and much energy moving about. I watchedas it seemed to automatically do exactly what it wassupposed to do. All my chakras were and seem to still be lighterwith a kind of light blue 'in the air'. One of the mostnoticeable effects was a buoyancy which I still feel.The overall impression is as having had anenergetic surgical precision chakric spring clean.Stronger effects occurred even after I knew it wascompleted. When I'd had Reiki 1, there was theeffect of 'visions of times past' which lasted a coupleof seconds on and off on different following days.

43

Sacred Flames Reiki

The same thing occurred for the first time againapproximately 45 minutes after the Clearing. Thisshows that, for certain, pure Reiki is involved here.Love and Light.Steve."

Candle Flame Recharging Method

This is a very simple technique used to restore andrevitalize your vital energy.

• You will need one candle (preferably white) forthis meditation.

• The candle should be resting about two feet infront of you, being at heart or eye level.

44

Allison Dahlhaus

• Close your eyes and invite the Masters of theSacred Flames and any others you wish to joinyou during this meditation time.

• Set the intention for the candle flame to beinfused with Healing, Purifying & Restoringenergy for your Highest Good and the HighestGood of the entire Universe.

• Cup your hands and visualize the rays flowinginto them and filling them with the energy of theSacred Flames. Hold this vision for as long asyou'd like.

• Now visualize the rays flowing into your ThirdEye Chakra. You might like to position yourselfwhere you can actually see the rays flowing to

45

Sacred Flames Reiki

this area but be sure you are not anywhere nearthe flame! Hold this vision for as long as you'dlike.

• Now visualize the rays flowing into your HeartChakra and again, you can position yourselfwhere you can actually see the rays connecting tothis area.

Breathing the Sacred Flames

This technique is an expansion of the Japanese Reikitechnique called Koki Ho and can be used during ahealing session of any kind.Visualize the White Sacred Flame surrounding you.Draw in a deep breath through your nose andimagine the flame being sucked into the back ofyour throat. Hold the flame here momentarily andfeel the energy focusing and condensing. Now,blow out the flame through your mouth intowherever healing is needed. Visualize the flamechanging to whatever color is best for yourparticular situation. It fills and surrounds the entirearea. Do this as many times as you feel necessary.

Eyes of Fire

Eyes of Fire stems from the Japanese Reikitechnique called Gyoshi Ho, which is healingthrough gentle staring or giving Reiki with the eyes.

Sacred Flames Reiki

Set the intention for Sacred Flames Reiki to flowthrough your eyes into whatever you are staring at.Imagine that your pupils have tiny fires in themand the energy flows out as a beam of light, like alaser beam, into the subject needing healing.

Gassho with SFR

Gassho is Japanese for "two hands comingtogether". It is what many of us think of as "inprayer". Sit or stand with your hands together atchest level. Focus your attention on the point wherethe tips of your middle fingers touch. Visualize theWhite Sacred Flame swirling around your handslike an upside down tornado. Imagine that the tipof the "tornado flame" connects with your HigherPower and fills your hands with the will of theHighest Good of All. Stay in this meditation for aslong as you like and try to do it as often as possible.

SFR Rose Distance Healing Technique

This distance healing technique is similar to what Ilearned from my Reiki Master, Mona Khalaf:

• Close your eyes and imagine the person to whomyou are sending healing (it doesn't have to be aclear image, even a name is enough).

• Dissolve her image and visualize a beautifulwhite rose.

• Send the sacred flames to the rose and imaginethe pure, loving energy flowing into the rosethrough its stem and up to the flower where itfully blooms and glows with SFR energy.

• Now bring back your image of the person towhom you're sending healing and send her therose. Imagine that she accepts the rose and placesit into her heart Chakra.

53

Sacred Flames Reiki

• Visualize the rose sinking into her and her entirebeing is filled with Sacred Flames Reiki. Sheradiates with light and love.

• If you want to send healing to more than oneperson, just imagine them all together and do theprocedure one time.

Golden Sacred Flame of Illumination

We have already talked about the Green SacredFlame that is used to cleanse and balance the HeartChakra. Visualize that in the spot where our actual,physical heart lies, there is another flame – theGolden Sacred Flame of Illumination. This flameburns most brightly in those who pass onknowledge and wisdom to others. The moreillumination we give out to the world, the more wereceive as individuals. Next time you come acrosssomeone, who seems hungry for spiritual growth,visualize the Golden Sacred Flame that lies in your

heart multiplying. Imagine taking this flame andplacing it in his heart for him to carry on to another.
