As discussed in a previous article, The System of Reiki is a Spiritual Practice, the system helps you to rediscover your true nature. Your practice is facilitated (or hindered) by the state of your energy system. In fact, in most traditional spiritual practices, deep awareness of your energy system is synonymous with enlightenment and evolution from an ordinary human being into a yogi, buddha, or immortal one.

Many people practice meditation but what is it really about? You hear so many things about what you’re meant to get out of it – it can become really confusing.
Is meditation about getting in a state where nothing matters or are you meant to become fully aware of everything?
