Kali-Ki Reiki®: Healing Through Divine Mother & Yogic Wisdom

Kali-Ki Reiki: Healing Through Divine Mother & Yogic Wisdom

What distinguishes Kali-Ki Reiki from the traditional Usui Reiki with which more people are familiar? After all, like a rose, isn’t reiki always reiki by any name it is called? Yes, reiki is reiki, and it is the energy of love. However, Kali-Ki Reiki offers refinements and elaborations to the traditional understanding and practice of what reiki is, how it works, and how it can serve as both a healing modality and a path to spiritual awakening or what Kali-Ki Reiki practitioners call “wisening,” specifically from the perspectives of the Divine Feminine and the wisdom of the ancient yogic seers. This is why, in Kali-Ki Reiki, the traditional description of reiki as universal “lifeforce energy” has been replaced by “loveforce energy.” \

From lifeforce to loveforce. The yogic tradition teaches that, ultimately, there is only one being, one awareness, one energy. However, this Oneness is experienced on three levels: the absolute, the universal, and the personal. All three of these, from the Kali-Ki Reiki viewpoint, are love.

Kali-Ki Reiki calls the absolute level Limitless Love. It is the Source of all that is. Limitless Love is the infinite awareness that is eternal, all pervasive, unitive, and changeless. In yoga, it is called the Brahman. The second, or universal, level of reiki is referred to in Kali-Ki Reiki as Loveforce with a capital “L.” This is the manifesting energy of Limitless Love. In yoga, this is the power of the Shakti, or Divine Mother. Westerners might think of the Loveforce as the power of the divine creator. For Kali-Ki Reiki practitioners, the third level is called loveforce with a small “l.” This is the personal or soul energy of Limitless Love, which is manifested through the Loveforce and animates and sustains the human system: our physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual being. It is the individual lifeforce which is dependent upon the universal Loveforce, which in turn, is derived from Limitless Love.

Sacred Symbols. All reiki lineages employ sacred symbols that empower the practitioner to become a transmitting channel through which universal energy is invoked and transmitted. The symbols of traditional reiki were revealed by the founder of modern reiki, Mikao Usui, a male Japanese Buddhist monk who lived in the early part of the 20th century. The Kali-Ki Reiki symbols were revealed in the early part of the 21st century to myself, a female reiki master and interspiritual yogi and healer. The Kali-Ki Reiki symbols are dynamic, dancing forces of light, which manifest individually or in partnership with each other to offer the healing of the Divine Mother’s Loveforce. Here are illustrations of three of the Kali-Ki Reiki symbols so that one has a visual reference for what is being described.

To those sensitive to such things, the Kali-Ki Reiki symbols vibrate at higher frequencies than the still powerful Usui symbols that are typically presented as two-dimensional, static forms. The new symbols were given over many years in a series of direct mystical encounters with the Divine Mother in the form of the goddess Kali Maa (thus the name Kali in Kali-Ki Reiki: Kali as Divine Mother, and Ki as the lifeforce/loveforce energy in Reiki.) Those in Kali-Ki Reiki feel Her crying out for the healing and awakening of all beings everywhere.

Wisening and Awakening. Not only do the Kali-Ki Reiki symbols transmit healing energy, they also serve as gateways to higher consciousness, what in Kali-Ki Reiki is  called “wisening,” and they help all to see and work with the Loveforce energy that is the very foundation of creation and, ultimately, to know through grace the wisdom that, at the heart of it, we are all that absolute Oneness, Limitless Love, to which we will all return. Thus, Kali-Ki Reiki is not only a healing practice, but it also can be a path to enlightened awareness. It is felt that the Kali-Ki Reiki symbols were purposely given to humanity by Divine Mother in these turbulent times and that anyone who is drawn to this path is answering Divine Mother’s call to help humanity through our many challenges and to contribute to the collective awakening of our planet.

Practical Mysticism. While on one hand this may seem mystical and esoteric, Kali-Ki Reiki is eminently practical, with the other hand firmly and physically grounded in healing applications. The protocols and procedures for using the symbols and activating reiki can be learned by anyone who is interested. No particular belief system is required to practice or receive Kali-Ki Reiki healing. Invariably, however, the consciousness of most Kali-Ki Reiki practitioners and clients transforms or “wisens” over time. The realization of reiki as the energy of Limitless Love comes alive through practice and experience. The practitioner begins to know herself as an ever-wisening being and conduit for offering the Loveforce in service to the world. Being immersed in the loveforce, she doesn’t just feel the reiki but becomes the reiki.

As for the Kali-Ki Reiki clients, their consciousness also begins to evolve. One doesn’t have to be a mystic or even a spiritual seeker to experience the benefits of reiki. People often turn to reiki only after trying multiple medical and alternative modalities with disappointing results. For someone in pain or suffering from trauma who may feel unseen, unheard and unloved, the idea that she is actually composed of loveforce energy initially may seem absurd. When reiki works for her; however, as it almost invariably does, there can be a profound shift in consciousness. The experience of healing from a persistent and treatment-resistant condition, without chemical or physical manipulation, often creates a curiosity and new awareness beyond the physical dimension of reality. Through firsthand experience, it becomes clear that reiki is the dynamic force of a very real, if intangible, power.

While healing in reiki does not always mean “cure,” the profound relaxation and insight it brings can offer pain relief, emotional ease, mental balance and an overall sense of wholeness. This provides clients the comfort and strength to face their challenges with a gentle strength, equanimity and acceptance of what is. Some even begin to have mystical experiences, catching glimpses of their soul that is untouched by whatever has affected the outer self and the Limitless Love at the core of all being. After such experiences, it is not unusual for Kali-Ki Reiki clients to choose to learn reiki and to give forward what they have received.

In May the Loveforce Be With You, one can learn more about the loveforce and Kali-Ki Reiki—how it works, as well as its roots in yogic wisdom and connection to the Divine Mother. The book is filled with practical techniques, guided meditations, and stories about healings and how the Kali-Ki Reiki symbols were revealed and their functionality that will be both healing and wisening on all love levels.
