RE: Templar Reiki has anyone tried this or ones similar?

Hi Lightfoot, I haven't heard of Templar Reiki but it all sounds very intruiging. I am fascinated by the Templars and have a house full of books on them. But I would like to know more about the Templar Reiki. Do you have links that we can look at.

Thanks

RE: Templar Reiki has anyone tried this or ones similar?

I too have an interest in the Templars, Sue ... it's at a kinda gut level ;)... not too sure if there's a connection to Templar Reiki though, and have to say I don't feel particularly drawn to it.

I did go looking though, out of curiosity. My google search revealed a number of mentions on websites which all carried the following, or close variations of same:

The Templar Degree is the symbol of Oneness and the manifestation of Christ Consciousness into our world. The symbol was received in July, 1998 by Reiki Master/Teacher, Darla Traylor, through a transmission from the Ascended Master Sananda and Archangels Metatron and Melchizedek.

This beautiful attunement is for those Reiki Masters who feel drawn to receive it, and is generally considered to be one of the most positive experiences we will encounter on our Reiki path.

Prerequisites: You must be an Usui Reiki Master to receive the Templar Degree attunement.

Their italics, not mine. Some also said that there is not a lot of information on the Templar Degree. Understatement!!

I did notice that Dez Sellars' has it in his listing of therapies offered, but there didn't seem to be alive link to info. As he's a member of HP and sometimes posts in this forum, perhaps he'll see this thread and be able to give us some further, and first hand, information.

I also found some discussion here:

I myself am not sure if it's a way of making money as, I keep feeling in my gut that it's hardly related to them...and that if they had a energy system it would be kept private as. they are a very secretive organisation.

I will see if I can find any information on it in my searches.

RE: Templar Reiki has anyone tried this or ones similar?

i found this link and thought it may be of interest to those looking at the templar degree...it is quite slow to load so be patient with it and it should open up some information.

I hope it doesn't upset anyone posting this but it was in google searches anyway...and not of my doing. i also found someone offering the degree for $7.00 on ebay...perhaps they have further information on this I can't vouch for them as, I don't know them.

Hi Tina

My feeling is that your gut feeling ... that there is little relationship between the Knights Templars and the Templar attunement ... is probably right, but we may yet both be proved wrong! 😉

I think the word "templar" has been taken to mean, broadly, "of or pertaining to a temple". See here:

[link= http://www.dictionary.net/templar ]http://www.dictionary.net/templar[/link]

Thanks for the link in your most recent post ... one I'd tried yesterday and given up on because of the slowness to load. However, it is by far the most comprehensive I've seen so far. I found the author quite erm, forthright in her views, but seems very honest and I liked the way she said it takes a bit more than one attunement, and that much more work is to come. (I tried to copy and paste that bit, but it wouldn't work.)

For information on the Knights Templars, here's a link to an earlier thread.

You may have to scroll back to the top.

There are many others, which you can find if you put Knights Templars into HP's Search, without specifying an author, and search All Forums.

Hi Laura,

Absolutely zero connection, surely?

The Templars per se ceased to exist from 1311, and were a semi-Catholic military Order.
[link= http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/14493a.htm ]http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/14493a.htm[/link]
Altered branches, principally the Hospitallers, have a small existence to this day. The actual conditions for admission to theHopitallers are: nobility of sixteen quarterings, the Catholic Faith, attainment of full legal age, integrity of character, and corresponding social position. There are now in existence only four great priories, one in Bohemia, and three in Italy. They're a little like very 'posh' or aristocratically connected Freemasons, and I don't think there are female members at all!

None of this sounds much like Reiki, right (?), and mainly concerns military ventures (the Crusades) a thousand years ago. Templar Reiki on the other hand was channelled (which can be a dubious activity since it could well be stuff popping up out of the person's unconscious) in 1998 (a few sources say 1988). No connection to the Knights Templar ... Just a name the channeller gave to it. (Unless she's actually male, of royal blood, Catholic, and prone to swing a sword at people. :D)

RE: Templar Reiki has anyone tried this or ones similar?

LOL Venetian 😉

And in my experience Melchizedek is not an Archangel so which author did this belief come from?

I have no doubt that a person can and is given extra symbols, I was given a couple a few years ago, one to pass onto my RM with use and one for myselfl neither of us have never used them.

However, it does seem nowadays that anything goes and all one has to do is attach the name Reiki and an attunement process.

I was also given a set of symbols to use for a past life healing therapy but was not guided to call it Reiki Past Life Healing........;)

Lets see what Dez has to say. However if it is listed on his site then in his own way he is validating it. I thought Dez was a lady? 😀

At the end of the day it is up to us to decide individually how important it is we honour our founder Dr Usui's Reiki, and down to our own conscience on whether to support another channelled one under the name of Reiki.

Also to consider why one needs any further types of channelled Reiki?

When we already have the power of the universe in our hands and are able to tap into the ultimate supreme source of all energy.

RE: Templar Reiki has anyone tried this or ones similar?

I still don't believe it's real...and well the symbol is online readily...so i decided to try it and guess what...nothing not a thing no effect...i dind't expect it to so there u...go that was my experience.

RE: Templar Reiki has anyone tried this or ones similar?

Hi lightfoot,

But would the symbol work if you haven't been attuned to it?

The drawings of the Reiki symbols on that link you provided look a bit erm... sketchy to say the least and correct me if I'm wrong somebody, but doesn't CKR go the other way around? With it the way round they've drawn it you'll be doing a little bit of Sekhem (assuming you're attuned to it ;))

I don't know much about the Knights Templar, but I have found this discussion interesting so far...

Love and Reiki Hugs

RE: Templar Reiki has anyone tried this or ones similar?

You're not "wrong" about the CKR, Giles, and it isn't "wrong" drawn in reverse either! 😀 Though the way to which you're referring is more usual, a few people do draw it "back to front".

I actually work with a pair ... one of each ... something on which I've been considering starting a thread, giving a much fuller explanation of the meanings and uses of each. I just never got a round tuit! 😉

My replies to others in this thread are long overdue, but I haven't had time to be on HP in recent days. I gotta dash now, 'cos Iza goin' drummin' shortly, but I will return.

In the meantime, did you read my earlier exchange with Venetian above, wherein he verified my thoughts that there is no connection between Reiki and the Knights Templar, even though "Templar Reiki" seems to exist? Posts #6 and #7.

Later .....

Laura.

RE: Templar Reiki has anyone tried this or ones similar?

I didn't go near the ckr as they have shown it but only the main symbol with the heart and double coil... yes I am attuned to many styles of reiki including the groundwork Usui masters and continued there on with silver violet flame kundalini and boostersand also had ra sheeba and various angelic attunements...dolphin trilogy. Ia m meant to be attuned today.

Perhaps it does work if you have a proper practitioner do it...maybe in the future I will have this done...as it's only about $7.00 on ebay...and for that price it might be worth a try just to see what happens.

RE: Templar Reiki has anyone tried this or ones similar?

I haven't got into Reiki myself but on what I took to be the basic thread subject, there is as Laura says no relation - at all! - between the Templars and "Templar Reiki". In fact I find it manipulative to keep adding on these terms and differences to basic Reiki just to try to stand out from the others, possibly in order just to make money and not have competition? It's not only manipulative but ridiculous to alike any Reiki to the Templars.

The Templar Degree is the symbol of Oneness and the manifestation of

Christ Consciousness into our world. The symbol was received through a

transmission from the Ascended Master Sananda and Archangels Metatron

and Melchizedek in July of 1998 by Reiki Master/Teacher, Darla Traylor.

The attunement is to be shared with those Reiki practitioners who feel

called to receive it. We extend our gratitude to the Ascended Realms

for sharing this Divine symbol with us.

While "ascension into Christ consciousness" usually takes a bit more

effort than one attunement, the ritual itself is a truly glorious

experience for any open individual. Whether you are left feeling very

quiet and serene or utterly !transplendent!, this is truly one of the

most positive experiences you'll encounter on your reiki path. I know

that it was for me!! Much more work is to come, but it is,

nevertheless, a POWERFUL affirmation of your intent!

Who is this Melchizedek?

Who is this Melchizedek? This appears to be one of the many

secrets of the Scripture. All of a sudden, we read in

Genesis14th chapter of the incident when Melchizedek brought

bread and wine to Abraham, tired after the war, and blessed

him (Gen.14:18-20). Next, David said as a prophecy, "The

Lord said to my Lord, ....'You are a priest forever

according to the order of Melchizedek'" (Ps.110:1-4).

Following this, Ap.Paul too has said, "though He was a Son,

yet He learned obedience by the things which He suffered.

And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal

salvation to all who obey Him, called by God as High Priest

"according to the order of Melchizedek" of whom we have much

to say, and hard to explain, since you have become dull of

hearing" (Heb.5:8-11). May the Holy Spirit help us

understand this difficult matter in the light of Scripture.

Some presume that this Melchizedek is Jesus Christ as

it is written of him, "king of righteousness" and "king of

peace" (Heb. 7:2). Also some presume that this Melchizedek

is none other than the Holy Spirit as it is written of him,

"without father, without mother, without genealogy, having

neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the

Son of God, remains a priest continually" (Heb.12:3) as who

other that the Holy Spirit could claim to be without

genealogy?. There are people who assert that this

Melchizedek is Jesus Christ only as He had said, "Your

father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was

glad" (John 8:56). The above incident is mentioned in

Gen.18: 15. The Lord appeared to Abraham in the plains of

Mamre along with two angels. All three ate the food offered

by Abraham. The Lord then blessed Sarah and promised that

when He returns according to the time of life, Sarah would

give birth to a son. Then the two angels who accompanied the

Lord went away to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah. But of

Melchizedek, it is mentioned in Gen.14:18, that he was the

priest of God Most High". Therefore Melchizedek is only the

priest of God.

This priest can be presumed to have existed since the

time mankind first ever started to worship God (Gen.4: 26).

RE: Templar Reiki has anyone tried this or ones similar?

Dear Dez

The Templar Degree is the symbol of Oneness and the manifestation of Christ Consciousness into our world.

There does seem to be some mix up here of terminology especially as we know Reiki comes in degrees, yet the words above say the degree is a symbol.

I am interested to know how can a degree be a symbol?

How was this symbol given and in exactly what circumstances?

Who gave its name Templar and why?

Did Melchizedek appear and if so in what form? The same for Sananda? If in form was this form described to you by this Reiki Master and is documented for those receiving the attunement process?

What is the proposed connection between Melchizedek and the name Templar ?

Last but not least, did Dr Usui have anything to do with its origination?

Many thanks

I agree Venetian, also to the best of my knowledge there is only one symbol for Christ Consciousness which tends to be universally known by most spiritual people. So that begs the question why give a symbol or duplicate a symbol of one that already exists?

Divine Love

RE: Templar Reiki has anyone tried this or ones similar?

Hi,

I have not recived this system and so far it has not appealed to me. Whenever I have heard about it, it is called Templar degree, not templar reiki.

Some people put the reiki word on the end of a system to show others it is about healing of enlightenment etc and that the system is about universal life force energy.

i think this is rather silly as the word reiki to me implies Dr Usui's system of healing.

However, I think it is rather close minded of others to rubbish a system developed/chanelled by another person and one that is clearly loved by those attuned to it and ho follow it.

I don't, to be honest, know what all the text is posted there for, but personally I don't accept this has anything in reality to do with Ascended Masters.

I suspect Venetian that the text posted by Dez is a kind and generous attempt to share information about something he likes and thought others may like to read..you may recall that the origional post was asking of this system.

I wouldn't knock anything without trying it...looks harmless..it doesn't appeal to me so i think i should reserve judgement.

Hal

RE: Templar Reiki has anyone tried this or ones similar?

Hi Hal,

My point about the text etc. boils down to:

1.Much of it isalready there to read on a link given.

2. I have no intention of "rubbishing" a system, but to put a question mark or two on it. "Rubbish" was obviously not my word.

3. We are all entitled to our opinions, and I respect those of others. In my experience the Ascended Masters have nothing to do with this. So I wrote it. What else should I do? IMHO that's (useing the Masters) just another way of adding 'authority' to an invented system and hence to make money.

4. "Channeled" messages are notoriously prone to flaw, and that's important too. They can just be the outpouring of someone's unconscious, or other things. Recall Philip the Ghost and threads on that? Of all occult practices, personally I put the biggest question marks on so-called channelled things. For example, I know about a dozen people who "channel" the same Master, supposedly, but all disagree with each other. So at least nine of the ten are wrong. If not all.

Much Love,

Venetian

RE: Templar Reiki has anyone tried this or ones similar?

RE: Templar Reiki has anyone tried this or ones similar?

Dear Hal

Many people are innocent and it is important that if a person is promoting this then people have to find the truth for themselves and to find ones own truth sometimes means questioning others, those involved and the self.

I feel this thread is encouragement to question, to discern, to know, to experience and finally to integrate the conclusion. Ultimately, if there is not a concensus there is usually something or someone that has gone astray or as Venetian says sometimes it can come from a persons own consciousness, I would add that this does not exclude the originators of some information that has influenced the new age thinking and development. Gods domain does not cause confusion in my experience and keeps the truth very simple indeed, the divine have taught me it is humans that complicate matters.

Dear Dez

Thank you

RE: Templar Reiki has anyone tried this or ones similar?

Hello Venetian

I haven't got into Reiki myself but on what I took to be the basic thread subject, there is as Laura says no relation - at all! - between the Templars and "Templar Reiki".

What Laura actually said, which you quoted earlier, was that I felt there was little relationship between the two, but might be proved wrong!:D I'm sure you realised I was treading with a little caution, since I didn't want to post a definitive statement, and I still don't.

In the meantime, I did a bit more digging, via the discussion forum link I gave above, to the Rosslyn Chapel website:

[link= http://www.rosslynchapel.org.uk/htm/esoteric-links.htm ]http://www.rosslynchapel.org.uk/htm/esoteric-links.htm[/link]
which gives (with this disclaimer "Rosslyn Chapel attracts many interesting and unusual theories, while we enjoy hearing of these, we do not accept responsibility for the material published within these sites which may or may not be correct.")
this website on workshops and tours to Rosslyn and other sacred sites:

[link= http://www.templartrails.co.uk/ ]http://www.templartrails.co.uk/[/link]

"The first programme on offer is [link= http://www.templartrails.co.uk/tours/rosslyn.htm ]Templar Mysteries in Rosslyn[/link] that will focus on learning and applying one of the (until now) secret spiritual sciences / light work that the Templars used. There is now as there was then a fundamentally sacred aspect to the geometry which the Templars had access to. This geometry was known as the [link= http://www.templartrails.co.uk/tours/reshel.htm ]Reshel[/link]. Based on this knowledge of the ley lines of the earth and wider cosmic energies, the Templars were the last group in the western world to incorporate this esoteric knowledge into their lives as a creative force, and hence the name of these tours: Templar Trails."

The link to Reshel, in the above text and here:

[link= http://www.templartrails.co.uk/tours/reshel.htm ]http://www.templartrails.co.uk/tours/reshel.htm[/link]

"The RESHEL is a meta sciences that was held secret in Templar times, relating to consciousness and held within the organisation and operation of architectural form and earth grids. Through her life-long affinity with the earth and its "sacred" sites, Jackie has an instinctive feel for the esoteric information, and she owes much of her right brained knowledge of the subject to William Buehler, who has devoted the past 30 years to understanding the complex geometry of the grid systems generated by the unfolding Reshel. These esoteric grids were at the core of the meta science of the Templars. The consciousness of the female creative principle widely known as the feminine / Shekinah is essential to give these grids LIFE." [more follows]

The Scotsman suggests the tours are being launched to cash in on Da Vinci Code tourism:

Somewhere in among all that lot and a few other links not posted here (I don't want to over-egg the bread) were references to everything from Da Vinci Code to 9/11 to the Templars' work with Ascended Masters and much else.

This post may be another case of "please don't shoot the messenger" LOL.:D Personally, I'll say the above resonates with me as did the name Knights Templar years ago … about the time I first did Reiki, learned drumming, discovered leylines and local sacred sites, and much more. It may be a past life thing, along with the Cathars and Rennes le Chateau. I don't know and I don't have a burning need to know.

The Templar Degree, however, does not resonate with me at all, but I do think that if it … or any attunement for that matter … appeals to others, they should fol

V

RE: Templar Reiki has anyone tried this or ones similar?

The earliest that I know of that introduced new symbols was Katherine Milner, William Rand and the group of students that were close that were involved in the channelling at the time, apparently they were given these symbols and system when they were all together. Originally it was called Sai Baba Reiki then Sai Baba threatened court action. There was also court action between Milner and Rand, they then went there separate ways and Rand called his brand Karuna, (I can't remember which but he either trademarked it or did and R) when it was launched it was only available to Reiki Masters as an advanced RM course at a high cost. In 1998 his website said that Karuna was with Mother Teresa and now his website says it is with Quan Yin. This does not surprise me really because the last incarnation of Quan Yin on planet earth was as Mother Teresa and not the Dala Lama as the Buddhists believe. Also the purple ray of purification is predominante in Reiki as most people will testify from their own individual experiences.

For those that do not know; 'Karuna' is a Buddhist word and it means mercy or compassion' one of the four sublime states of spirituality, that both layman and monks are exhorted to develop constantly. Karuna is regarded as a state of mind by the Buddhists and virtues to be exemplified. Ref: Encyclopedia of World Religons.

Karuna establised by William Rand is a mix and match system of many symbols and it includes everything from some Reiki symbols to the OM symbol. There has been another thread where we discussed this and the brand name used by Katherine Milner, I assume both systems use the same symbols as they were both fighting over it.

Maybe someone else knows of an earlier case?

I am in no doubt at all that Dr Usui has inspired some new tracks for Reiki to ensure that he does not have all his eggs in one basket; he obviously knew what was coming.......with regulation etc...and has kept his options open....the problem arises for innocents to the world of Reiki to find out what is genuine from a Reiki perspective. Bearing in mind that anyone can receive symbols and therapies but that does not necessarily make part of Reiki.

Further complication came into play because in the mid-to late 90's the grand daughter of Mrs Takata decided she was the Grand Master of Reiki and tried to patent Reiki throughout the world. Had she succeeded then all Reiki people would not have been able to practice without re-training with her organisation at a huge cost. Of course due to the huge numbers of Reiki people around the world and the complaints to the patent agents; the patent agents threw it out.

Since then it seems to have been a free for all and anything goes.......However, I am hoping that the RRWG will take the opportunity to bring in some boundaries and state exactly what is Reiki and what is not.

I'm sorry, but you might at least add an "IMHO" as to me this sounds like - and I say it with a smile - cods. 😀

Mother Theresa was Quan Yin?

I haven't even heard about that Buddhist belief, that they think the Dalai Lama is Quan Yin, and the son of a friend works with the Dalai Lama right now. It's not accurate.IMHOthese ideas go withwith chips (cods ;))? I presume it is all 'channeled' which ... once again, is always a very suspect way of getting supposedinformation.

However, thanks a lotfor the insight, and you obviously know the facts on the history.

I further wonder what the conscious or unconscious motive is behind not being just Reiki as I strongly suspect it is just to make money by standing out from the (by now) very large crowd.

RE: Templar Reiki has anyone tried this or ones similar?

Venetian

Well it is public knowlege that the Buddhists believe this and I have seen it written on Buddhist websites (no not channelled by new agers LOL) in the past but that does not mean that the Dalai Lama accepts that this is so. A bit like when students start calling their teacher a Guru doesn't mean the teacher has to take it on board.

There's not a scrap of evidence that the Templars were involved, way back then, in ley lines (and what are they precisely anyway?), "light work" ( a give-away New Age buzz-term), cosmic energies and so on and on.

Why wouldn' they be involved in ley lines? And I can't believe you have been involved in spirituality for 30+ years and don't know what they are. Ley lines are lines of electromagnetic energy e.g. meridians that allow the chi to flow through. In the same way that we have meridians in the body. As I understand it pagan sites were built on the ley lines and churches were built on top of the pagan sacred sites. I only have a smattering of info of this because it is not something that I have really got involved with. The Wiccans and the Shamans are sure to know a great deal more so might be worth you starting a different thread on it. However, I feel sure the Templars would have known about the ley lines, they were monks after all and as there isn't much evidence left about the Templars I challenge you to prove that they didn't know about them.

I further wonder what the conscious or unconscious motive is behind not being just Reiki as I strongly suspect it is just to make money by standing out from the (by now) very large crowd.

Well one would not understand that unless one had studied Reiki, Reiki opens up the psychic channels of the soul so all sorts of things begin to happen once attuned. Some are genuinely working with the higher planes and they are easy to recognise by very experienced spiritual people and also by good Reiki Masters. I know on a course of students who is and or will be working on the higher planes because it is shown to me; sometimes people of the streets, complete novices to spirituality have experiences on Reiki First Degree courses with the Ascended Masters. It has nothing to do with the Reiki Master or the course it is a direct link between the masters and the students and that can happen on ANY Reiki course. The RM's role is to teach students discipline, the Reiki Dharma and allow them to fly the nest when they are ready. However, obviously a good RM creates the appropraite sacred space so that the masters and other spiritual energies can draw close.

As far as your cod is concerned that is your cod and not everyone likes the taste of it. :DI have come to accept your sardonic trait and I wonder what the Masters feel about it. Knowing them, they wil continue to love you unconditonally and hope that one day you choose to go through the eye of the needle and leave the trait behind. 😉

Divine Love

PS If you wish to really communicate about Reiki then I recommend you have an initiation with a good Reiki Master then you will experience it for yourself, because each experience is unique to each and every person. And with your background, your experience with the ascended masters on a reiki course could be quite something, and would change your life completely.

It has changed millions of lives no matter what level they are at spiritually.
