Discuss with your teacher

To gain Makoto ReikiDo Master – Spiritual Practitioner, Buddhist Philosophy and Compassion Path Practices are required. This takes approximately 2 years of dedicated study and practice .

The term “tantra” literally means “thread”. Tantric practices harness a wide variety of experiences, along with mental and physical energies. Buddhist tantra is primarily found in all Tibetan lineages and also in Japanese Buddhism, especially Shingon, in which Usui was a practitioner. The following are some approaches:

• Sound – Mantra
• Symbols – Mandala
• Body – Mudra
• Subtle energy manipulation
• Deity – Enlightened awareness

As we advance in practice these approaches may be used for realising the ultimate nature of reality, especially when “reality” is understood in terms of the nature of mind itself.  When one knows that suffering arises from our misunderstanding of reality, we begin to see that we falsely take phenomena that are “empty” of any reality to be objectively real, separate, and unchanging.

A practitioner committed to realising the truth may through a variety of Reiki practices discover aspects of their Buddha nature or realise the ultimate ground of Dai KoMyo – Life Force Consciousness/ Ultimate Nature.

Within the Makoto ReikiDo system, the profound practise of Tantric Reiki are observed through the following:

1. Light Blessing Practice  
2. Sleep and dream Yoga for profound presence and healing
3. Healing through purification of karma
4. Union of abiding with another in Reiki Practice

For our Tantric practices please refer to Caron’s teaching schedule
