Johrei and
Reiki
Two healing energies emerged in Japan during the first quarter of
the twentieth century: Reiki and Johrei. Both are healing energies, but the two
are completely different in lineage, frequency, purpose, use, and method of
training. As part of its ongoing commitment to lineage, to healing, and to earth
healing in the eclectic mode, the Ajna Center presents an opportunity for energy
workers in the NW Arkansas area to learn Johrei through its duly established,
legitimate lineage as that lineage is maintained through the Johrei Fellowship,
North America. The Rev. Gerry Nangle is head of the Tucson Johrei Center and a
fully ordained minister of the Johrei Fellowship.
In addition to quite different origins, there are many other distinguishing
differences between Johrei and Reiki. Reiki is an attuned energy opened in the
student by an appropriately trained Reiki Master. Reiki energy moves through the
body and the chakras of the Reiki practitioner and out the hands to whomever the
practitioner offers the energy. Johrei, on the other hand, is an energy of
intent anchored and activated by a Focal Point worn about the Johrei
practitioner's neck and obtained after a period of training with a minister of
the Johrei Fellowship. As a non-attuned energy, Johrei moves through the
practitioner's upheld hand during a Johrei session rather than through the
entire body.
While Reiki is used in hands-on treatments and is intended to be placed in the
body of the client with the intent of balancing physical as well as mental and
emotional health, Johrei is beamed into the aura of a seated recipient with the
goal of burning away "spiritual clouds" or energetic blockages. Reiki is
designed to work on physical healing as well as on mental emotional issues;
Johrei addresses spiritual energetic issues in the aura which in turn influences
physical health. Although an oversimplification of two powerful healing
energies, it is often said that Reiki is the feminine or "water" energy, Johrei
the masculine or "fire" energy. Without doubt, the two energies, while quite
different, are complementary in their action. Each has its appropriate
applications; each is a powerful form of energy healing.
There is one other significant difference in the two energies: Reiki is not a
religion, has no dogma and no tenets of faith. Johrei energy is taught within
the context of the Johrei Fellowship, a quasi-religious organization based on
Japanese spiritual beliefs as represented in the teachings of Meishu-sama (Mokichi
Okada), the man to whom Johrei was given. It is not necessary to follow the
Johrei spiritual teachings to use Johrei energy for healing, but people need to
be aware that a spiritual and dogmatic structure is part of Johrei training. The
training is not offensive nor overly challenging to other beliefs, and many of
the concepts of chakras, energetic blockages in the aura, and the origins of
illness in emotional and spiritual issues will be totally familiar to Reiki
practitioners trained in traditional Reiki lineages. Johrei practitioners, like
those in Reiki, find that using Johrei energy in no way interferes with their
beliefs in whatever traditional religion they follow. To the contrary, as with
Reiki, Johrei provides a deeper sense of connection to the universal energies of
Source.
In terms of frequency, Johrei is closer to the intensity of earth energies than
Reiki. When measured on the Aura Video Imager, Johrei appears green in the aura,
while Traditional Reiki emerges as indigo blue and purple. Members of the Johrei
Fellowship are noted for their successful work with bomb victims at Hiroshima,
and Johrei has been used in Japan, the United States, Brazil, and Thailand with
success against cancer, tumors, burns, injuries, infections, and toxic poisoning
in humans and animals. Those involved in Earth Healing at the Ajna Center also
recognize its application as a potent transmuting energy for a wide range of
toxic conditions on the planet.
