A series of meditation techniques are taught in our Reiki classes. Meditation is very important in the present day world. These meditation techniques are designed to do the following things.

    Mind is an infinite storehouse and can perform as we desire. In this process, we activate our alpha and beta level of our brain. The power of the brain is unlimited. A man uses only 4 to 10 percent of his brain. Hence, for betterment of life and higher achievements of the body, mind and soul, the subconscious has to be activated, alerted and kept active. The miraculous working power of the mind can heal a person of his sickness and make him strong and vital again.

    This is done by a simple process of harnessing the cybernetic or reprogramming the powers of the mind. For this, we go into a small state of meditation to take us to our sub­conscious state, also called the Vacuum state or the Alpha state. At this state, the brain waves slow down to about the half the frequency as during conscious state or wakeful slate (Beta) at the conscious state.

     The brain gives out about 14 lo 21 brain energy pulsations per second, and as a person falls asleep, these brain pulsations slow down further. An Electro-encephalograph (a machine that records and gives the readings of the pulsations) shows the following for a normal body.

Conscious stale (Beta): 14-21 pulse/sec Relaxed .slate (Alpha): 7-13 pulse/sec Light sleep : 4-7 pulse/sec
Deep sleep (Delta) : Below 4 pulse/sec

     It has been proved by researchers working wilh biofeedback equipment that, at that alpha level, body Aryans become revitalized, pulse rate becomes .stable, blood pressure becomes normal etc.
