Creative Visualization with the Second Reiki Degree
The Creative and Strategic Use of Mental Imagery with the Second Reiki Degree
«In the brain, a certain neural structure interprets visualization as reality, creating neural networks, sending, and coordinating neuromuscular impulses towards the realization of your thought. The mind, strategically "deceived," behaves as if the visualization were real: in this way, the energy of your thought can guide the set of actions that are most appropriate to achieve your goal.»
(Dario Canil, Risognare la realtà)
CREATIVE VISUALIZATION WITH THE SECOND REIKI DEGREE
«In the context of Reiki, visualization or the power of imaginative capacity is reality and not fantasy.
Like thought, it has a structuring power on levels of reality that are beyond our ordinary perception (the different levels of dreaming).
The elementals or thought-forms created incessantly by human beings have a real existence on a plane defined by some as psycho-noetic. This plane constantly influences the plane of ordinary perception, that is, the plane of so-called gross matter, because Everything is One, and only from the point of view of the limitations of human perception is the illusion of separation created.
Thought-forms (both visualizations and mental verbalizations) can thus be consciously employed in healing processes. For example, you can visualize the recipient enveloped in a shining light and the main chakras, reactivated, allowing energy to flow evenly throughout the body.
You can visualize a reactive action in response to a particular disharmony. For example, if the recipient is suffering from sunburn, you can visualize the affected skin area being cooled by a pleasant, gentle, and fresh waterfall or by delicate, cool snowflakes. You can visualize the positive outcome of the treatment itself. This creates a form, an ideal mold (i.e., an appropriate elemental) to which the physical plane of gross matter can gradually adapt.
The healing process is thus greatly accelerated. For example, if you are treating a swollen foot due to a sprain, visualize the healthy foot in detail (you create the elemental of the healthy foot) and give energy to this visualization (using CHOKU REI).
Visualizing becomes a joyful expression of creativity. You can draw symbols with your hands and then visualize them on the chair where you rest, meditate, or read (to promote peace and relaxation), on the bed (to promote sleep). While treating yourself or others, you can insert (or inscribe) the symbols in the form of shining golden light (or colored in another way) in specific parts of the body, such as organs or joints, and intend that they work autonomously from there.
You can treat a wound by visualizing stitching it up using one hand as a chisel as a needle and CHOKU REI and SEI HEKI as bright golden threads.
You can imagine the special effects you have seen in a movie. Considering that the psyche does not distinguish between so-called external reality and internal (imaginative) reality, such effects reproduced in your visualization can be powerful. Everything that is representable exists; it does not matter that you know that a given effect is "created by fiction"; for example, you saw that wound heal in a flash of light, so that reality exists because it is representable.
For a focused exploration of these topics, see my book Risognare la realtà. Ultimately, you can visualize, create, intend with love and respect... anything!»
