SUFI REIKI

Master Level Manual

Sufi Reiki was created by Reiki Sufi Master Sami Pajunen in Finland at

the end of 1999. Reiki Sufi was introduced to Indonesia by Mr. Fajar

Isbandi with the help of the first few Reiki Sufi Masters including Rudi,

Eko Yuwono, Edys Susanto , Hikam, Rachmat Hanafi, Adi

Setiawan,Andry , and others.

Sufi Reiki is a Reiki that accesses Sufistic energy by the moment

method. This energy may be different from the reiki Usui energy but as

far as I m concerned the difference is something that is felt individually

and it is not for me to describe the differences. The aim of the energy

however is to enable the practitioner of Sufi Reiki to become a

spiritually enlightened person who is also able to do healing for

him/herself as well as for others.

Sufi Reiki has 3 levels followed by the band attunements. The Usui

Reiki symbols may be used after the second attunements , however many

Sufi Reiki Masters do not use any symbols. It is hoped that when the

Sufi Reiki practitioner has completed the 3 levels of attunement that all

the chakras are well expanded and the energy fields are clean and there

are no blocks .The ego should be less and is replaced by a heightened

awareness and this is manifested as patience, calmness and a greater

wisdom in handling life situations. At this stage, the higher attunements

are taken, that is, the Band attunements.

The Band attunements are equivalent to what is known as Shing Chi for

other Reiki types..The Band attunements result in a higher energy level

in terms of quality and quantity. The bands are actually unlimited, and

they open the upper chakra levels that are also unlimited. The purpose of

the band attunements is to enable the practitioner to achieve a spiritual

awareness that comes from the Kundalini energy entering the crown

chakra.

Whether or not these aims are achieved depends entirely on the

capacity and efforts of the practitioner and obviously two practitioners

who have been attuned to the same band levels may exhibit very

different degrees of awareness, which would mean that the band levels

do not indicate a person's spiritual development.

The practitioners who have achieved 360 band are allowed to attune

others, although those who are aware and understand the moment

method can self attune themselves without the aid of a Master. It goes

without saying that in the moment method, the level reached by the

attunee is not limited by the level attained by the attuner and it is very

likely an attunee will achieve a higher level of spiritual awareness than

the attuner.

Sufi Meditation

Meditation

From Vol. 8, No. 2

When we hear or think of meditation, we commonly imagine a practice where one sits

in a quiet place in a peaceful state of mind. The goals of meditation that come

immediately are likewise very general: to free one's self from the heavy burden of

everyday living; to get in touch with one's true self, whatever that may be. This

common understanding of meditation embraces, of course, many different practices.

Such a process, which has been a dominant characteristic of a major part of spiritual

practices today, is indeed a positive practice, but is not what Sufism has in mind.

In Sufism, the law of meditation follows the essential rule of self discovery, and that

is when a seeker is attracted and attuned towards the Divine, Allah, all of his or her

meditative energies are concentrated and focused towards Allah. One will find

peacefulness and freedom in Sufism meditation, but this is not its only goal. Instead,

the goal is to gain the knowledge that enables one to understand Allah, the Divine,

the All Knowing, All Embracing, Merciful and Compassionate. Meditation in Sufism

involves several steps; one must collect his or her energies from the outside world

and gradually learn to focus them in the center of the heart. To find this point in the

heart is essential as not many are aware of the existence of this center, and not any

point in the heart will take one to this favourable destination. This is the point where

heaven and earth, body and soul meet, and the material transforms into the spiritual.

Sufi meditation is directed towards the heart since the heart is the center and the

seat of love and divine inspiration, and the heart does not falsify that which it sees.

We all are different, and so we have different attractions towards different

directions of the outside world. There are many waves that connect us to the outer

world surrounding us, that allow communication between the individual and the outer

world. We are attracted and busy with our work, our daily routines, our families, and

our immediate environment. In these interactions, we receive energies, we exchange

energies, and thus we also lose energies. Through our constant interaction with the

celestial waves around us, the rays of the sun, the electromagnetic waves of the

galaxies, and more, we are part of a continuity always exchanging energy and

information.

In Sufi meditation, a seeker will learn how to take hold of his or her energies from

all these lines of communication and collect them from the outside to direct them to

the center of the heart. This process is truly an esoteric one, and, as such, is not

open to the marketplace of religion; and for good reason, it was never meant for

public appeal. Sufis have guarded all these steps, keeping them hidden from the

hands of others who would inevitably misuse them. So, you, as a seeker, must be

careful. If you seek the way of Sufism, you must be especially careful that what you

are seeking is indeed Sufism, and not something that merely claims the name of

Sufism.

As we grow into adulthood we also grow more and more intimately acquainted with the

outside world, to the point that the outside world becomes more familiar to us than

our own being. Many chains of attractions pull us in different directions, leaving us

with the sense of being torn apart. We become less and less aware of ourselves, of

our own being.

In Sufi Meditation, the first step that one takes is to become acquainted with

and aware of one's self, of the being within. Without finding that central point within

yourself, you will not be able to become a center to receive, and there can be no

substitute for the actuality of the center of one's being. Yet, this is not enough.

Becoming a center to receive does not suffice for the pursuit of the understanding

of Sufism, for a Sufi does not seek to become a center open to receiving everything.

Instead, the Sufi seek attunements for receiving selected waves; in this case,

spiritual or Divine energy.

I usually give a simple exercise so seekers may see if they are as familiar with their

own being, even their physical beings, as they are with the outside world, of other

beings and things. I ask them to close their eyes for a moment to try to see their

own faces as accurately as they can. Many find it hard to see their own faces as they

are, no matter how often they have looked in the mirror to reassure themselves of

their existence. Of course, we cannot see our own face, only mirrored reflections. In

this practice, it usually takes us a while before we are able to see our own faces. It

takes a little longer for some of us, and many are simply unable to see themselves

this way, through a mental image of what is so seemingly familiar. We learn that we

are not as familiar with our own beings as we thought we were, and also that it may

take us a while to gather our energy and become concentrated and focused, even

upon the familiar.

Collecting your energy is essential to spiritual practice but is not always easy. Only a

Teacher can guide you towards such a simple yet impossible journey.

In the practice of Sufism, you should be able to concentrate your energies and try to

be present at heart, as the Prophet (swa) said: your Salat, your Prayer, requires your

presence in your heart. Being present in your heart is the first step of meditation,

collecting your own energy from without and concentrating it within.

Thus, in meditation you learn how to take back your energies from the outside, and

collect and concentrate them towards a point in your heart. And you must remember

nothing is fruitful unless guided by a teacher, and not just any kind of teacher.

The next step of meditation or the second level is a journey from the self to the

inner heart. This journey or level of meditation begins from your self, or your

physical being, and is directed towards your inner self. In other words, you collect

and gather your energies from the outer self, towards your being, and then direct

your concentrated energy direct them towards your heart. It is there where you will

be able to witness Divine inspiration, as stated in the Qur'an: the heart does not

falsify that which it sees.

This step is easier, for concentrating in your heart and directing your

energies towards the center of your heart is easier than reclaiming and collecting

your energies from the outside world into which they have been dispersed. Many

spiritual seekers may stop at the first level, the step of gathering from outside their

own energies. Others may get halfway, gathering their energies from one place but

then redirecting them outwards toward some other, external locus.

Meditation has levels and stages. One needs a guide to be able to take the steps of

meditation. The potentiality, desires, demands, and attractions of a seeker will

determine the teacher that he or she will find along the way. As like attracts like,

and the birds of the same feathers fly together, you will find your own guide. If your

guide will not take you to a spiritual and divine destination, then you may need to

undertake purification to purify your desires and demands.

If you are searching for Divinity, remember that the Divine inspiration and revelation

will ascend to the heart of the most pure; as the Qur'an reads: the Book guides the

pure ones. You must take the step toward your own being; searching within the

external world will not take you to any understanding of the Divine, but instead will

take you to the marketplace of religion and to its participants.

When relying on meditation, you need to always remember the goal of such

meditation. Relaxation is a different goal than Divine inspiration. The latter requires

a different intention, a readiness, devotion, and inspiration.

Rely on Allah, as ultimately it is the Divine who guides one towards Divinity.
