When we become low in Chi we start to become ill, tired or may lack concentration. This is known as chi in China, prana in India and Mana in Hawaiian. Ki is the life force energy which flows through every living thing. Sometimes translated simply as universal. It means the Higher Intelligence that guides the creation and functioning of the Universe. Rei is translated as the wisdom and knowledge of all the universe. Reiki is made up of two Japanese words and is pronounced RAY KEY.
Reiki is also a tool for personal and spiritual advancement. It works on all levels – body, mind, emotional and spirit. It is more than a physical therapy, it is a holistic system for balancing, healing and harmonising all aspects of the body. It uses spiritual energy to treat physical ailments without using pressure, massage or manipulation. It is a symbol which continues to guide the Māori people today with wisdom and hope for a peaceful co-existence.Reiki is a safe, gentle and non-intrusive hands-on healing technique which you can use to heal yourself or others. The Raukura is a symbol of remembrance for the deeds of the Māori ancestors who vehemently resisted the Crown via peaceful opposition. It is also worn as a plume of three feathers in the hair which capture the meaning of the above Bible passage. Traditionally, the Raukura was worn either as a single feather resting upon the head or in the hand of the bearer, or as a crest on the chest area of a garment. He whakaaro pai ki te tangata Goodwill to all mankind He maungarongo ki runga i te mata o te whenua Peace on earth He whaikororia ki te Atua i runga rawa Glory to God on high
It is stated that the Raukura feathers encompass teachings of the Bible, with particular attention to the following passage: The Raukura feathers were a symbol of the passive resistance movement that Tohu Kakahi and Te Whiti-o-Rongomai orchestrated as a means of re-elevating the mana of the Māori people with a desire of being autonomous once again. This appealed significantly to the iwi of Aotearoa who had become fervently oppressed and marginalised by the Crown. Through the distinct and honourable leadership of these two prophets, the Raukura feathers became a symbol of peaceful co-existence as a Māori nation. This feather became the Raukura, and was honoured by Tohu Kakahi and Te Whiti-o-Rongomai, two of the prophetic leaders of Parihaka, and its community. One such account refers to a gathering of people at Parihaka who witnessed an Albatross landing on one of its courtyards, dropping a single feather before departing. Its origins tend to look within the tribal boundaries of the iwi, Taranaki, with particular reference to the marae of Parihaka. There are various accounts of how the Raukura feather became such a significant symbol to the people of Taranaki. It is a symbol of faith, hope, and compassion for all of mankind and the environment that we live in. It is an acknowledgement of a higher spiritual power, which transcends itself upon earth. Te Raukura represents spiritual, physical, and communal harmony and unity. This symbol is captured in the form of a white feather, or a plume of white feathers. Te Raukura is an important symbol to the tribes who affiliate to the Taranaki rohe.
