In the world of holistic healing, Reiki has gained immense popularity for its ability to promote physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Central to the practice of Reiki is the concept of energy, and one powerful technique that helps Reiki practitioners tap into this energy is Byosen Reikan Ho scanning. Byosen Reikan Ho scanning is a method used to identify areas of imbalance and blocked energy within the body, allowing the practitioner to focus their healing intentions and facilitate the flow of energy to promote healing. In this blog, we will delve a little into the intricacies of Byosen Reikan Ho scanning in Reiki and explore how it can unlock the key to harnessing the healing potential of energy.

If Byosen Reikan Ho is the Body and Aura Scanning or Intuitive (psychic) Sensing of Imbalances, then Byogen Chiryo Ho is the Finding the Root of a Problem.

Understanding the Concept of Energy in Reiki Healing

Before we dive deeper into the world of Byosen Reikan Ho scanning, it is essential to understand the fundamental concept of energy in Reiki healing. Reiki practitioners believe that energy, also known as qi, ki or chi, flows through the body, nourishing and sustaining it. However, when this energy becomes stagnant or blocked, it can lead to physical, emotional, and mental ailments. Byosen Reikan Ho scanning aims to identify these areas of stagnation or blockages, allowing the practitioner to direct healing energy to those specific areas and restore balance; this also affects our Chakras.

In Reiki, energy is not limited to the physical body but extends beyond it. It encompasses the Aura, Chakras, and Meridians, which are vital components of the body’s energy system. Byosen Reikan Ho scanning helps the practitioner detect imbalances in these energy fields, providing valuable insights into the underlying causes of a person’s health issues. By gaining a deeper understanding of energy and its flow, Reiki practitioners can better facilitate the healing process and support their clients in achieving optimal well-being. A Reiki Practitioner who has studied many varied Energy Healing modalities, will understand the Energy signatures of a healthy organ, a healthy body and so becomes more sensitive, more intuitive.

Let’s begin by teasing out a meaning of the words. Byosen Reikan Ho, a Japanese Reiki practice taught in Okuden Reiki Level II, is a phrase composed of five kanji:

病 Byo = illness, sickness

前 Sen = present, complete, uniform (there are other kanji for Sen, having meanings such as before, ahead, previous, future, precedence, gland)

靈 Rei = sacred, spirit, soul

感 Kan = impression, feeling, sensation, emotion

法 Ho = method, rule, model, system

A literal translation of the kanji would be ‘illness present sacred impression method.’ Since that translation doesn’t easily glide over the tongue, a simpler and more user friendly translation of Byosen Reikan Ho would be ‘method for sensing sacred impressions of an illness.’ Byosen is concerned with the ‘energetic sensation’ perceived at areas of dis-harmony or dis-ease.

Whenever there is a dis-ease, dis-harmony or dis-order in a person’s energetic makeup (whether or not the individual is aware of it) there will always be an accompanying ‘energetic sensation’, referred to as hibiki (‘resonance’) – providing one is aware of what to look for – and providing one has developed the necessary sensitivity skills to perceive it.

What does that actually mean?

Illness can be anything — a broken arm, stress, cancer, anger, attachments, ignorance, you name it. Impressions are what are known in Japanese as Hibiki, which means echo, reverberation, or sound. It is said that a seasoned practitioner can infer from the Hibiki the cause, current status, and amount of treatment required to heal the dis-ease. These impressions are sometimes referred to as intuition, which can be felt in your body, seen as a visual image, heard as a sound, or experienced in another kinaesthetic way. And, within the system of Reiki, the method is a hands-on method with the body.

Kan and Hibiki

Before proceeding further, let’s look at this idea of an impression (kan) as an echo (hibiki).

What is an echo? The scientific definition states that an echo is simply a reflection of sound or electromagnetic waves on an obstructing surface. Bringing that definition into the Byosen Reikan Ho practice, when we are doing a hands-on method over our client’s body, our hands are the obstructing surface that enable us to experience the energetic waves of the client’s illness.

However, everything we experience is filtered through our personal interpretations of how the world works and what is important to us. 

These filters — which are defined by our society, where we grew up, what we learn from school, parents, our personal practice, etc.— are different from one person to another.

Allow me to explain the Byosen Reikan Ho levels:

A lesser known facet of Byosen Reikan Ho scanning is that it presents itself to the practitioner as different detectable levels; these levels are indicators of the degree of byosen present in physical and subtle bodies. Recognizing these levels during a Reiki treatment is a beneficial source of information.   These are presented here in order of increasing intensity. Most practitioners are familiar with the sensations but may not be aware of their significance during treatment.  

• Heat (the first level of sensation intensity) – The heat level is higher than normal during a Reiki treatment. This level indicates a certain accumulation of toxins.

• Strong heat (second level) – The heat experienced by the practitioner may become uncomfortable and the palms may begin to sweat. This indicates a higher concentration of toxins.

• Tingling (third level) – This can be experienced as a “needle” sensation or a buzzing sensation in the hands. It can also manifest as numbness or a “pull” sensation. This level indicates a more severe level of toxic accumulation.

• Throbbing, cold (fourth level) – The practitioner may experience this level as a throbbing sensation in the hands, which may also become uncomfortable. The manifestation of the cold, as well as the strong pulsations, indicate that the affected part contains a substantial accumulation of toxic energy, probably due to an infection or an unresolved problem for a long time.

• Pain (fifth level) – This refers to the pain felt in the hands and sometimes in other areas of the practitioner. The pain may be limited to the fingertips or fingers. However, it can also occur in the whole hand, wrist and arm up to the shoulder. This is, of course, the most severe level of byosen. When the practitioner feels pain, it is necessary to maintain the position of the hand and channel Reiki until the pain disappears, which indicates a decrease in byosen. The presence of pain is an energy signal and does not pose a threat to the practitioner’s health. However, if this sensation occurs, you can shake your hands two or three times. In my practice, I have experienced the sensation of pain sometimes during a treatment and I am always grateful for this unmistakable signal.

Dai Yōsha and Dai Kansha

Dai  = The Great Yōsha  = Forgiveness

Kansha = Appreciation/Gratitude

“When we have learnt to practice Forgiveness, what follows, is a moment of nothingness, quietness and after a while of zero state, the Divine talks to you in form of inspiration. But before this can happen, we go through a phase of feeling lighter, elated, thankful. A weight has been lifted. Because you were able to let go, you have made room for something new, like hope, love, happiness, appreciation or gratitude to fill the void.” (Catherine W Dunne, Ireland  2016)

A few weeks ago, a gentleman rings to make an appointment. His wife had shared a blog I had written: Mixed Emotions . He felt inspired but didn’t know what type of treatment he actually wanted.

To continue with this story, let’s call him Christian. He is aged late 50s, early 60s. A few years back he had been involved in a multi car traffic accident, his car was written off, so were two other cars. Many badly injured, Christian was very lucky. His shock made him leave his mangled car and try to help others. Fact was, he should have not been physically able to do any of the First Aid. The driver who caused this accident was unharmed. His passenger, his brother though, spent the rest of his years in hospital care. The damage to his body was irreversible. The driver was elderly, and with his brother, had just been to visit their terminally ill sister. Christian is left with fused vertebras in his neck. So his range of movement in his neck is limited.

Christian was not sure why he came, just knew, after having read Mixed Emotions, that he had to. We chatted about this accident and how he felt then and today. Whilst chatting, I scanned his body. I started with assessing his Chakras. All fine, except his Heart Chakra: stopped. Then body brushing – Byosen Reikan Ho: Heaviness, imbalance and a buzzing sensation over his lungs.

TCM:

He has mild COPD, but this is not what I was sensing. Lungs: Familial. Did something happen in his childhood? Denied. We continue discussing all possibilities and I kept returning to this accident.

During my scanning and continued assessing, we were talking about Christian’s emotions after this car accident. What surfaced was his inability to control his anger-outbursts. As years went on, the anger and frustration grew within him.

Had Christian forgiven the driver?

“Yeah! Absolutely! Sure, … his sister was terminal, … and … his brother is permanently crushed and hospitalised as a result from this accident … his mind was not on the road …. His mind was occupied with his terminal sister… ”.

And still. I was drawn to this accident.

Suddenly, it was I who became overwhelmed, emotionally overwhelmed. Tearful, crying. I was still applying Healing. But there was a sense of Gratitude Dai Kansha, coming through. An energy. Not Christian’s.

Christian laid there, seeing my emotional outburst, and was confused.

Then I understood: The Driver. He was attached to Christian. He wanted to find a way to ask Christian for Dai Yōsha. Forgiveness.

With Byogen Chiryo Ho, Byosen Reikan Ho and focused energy healing – Reiki – Vibrational Therapy – Pendulum Therapy, we allowed the healing to come through. Christian immediately felt ‘lighter’. He hadn’t realised that what he was feeling in his body, the heaviness, the dreariness, his anger outbursts … had its root cause at the time of the accident. 12 years earlier.

Later that day, I received a WhatsApp message: “My wife says: I got that Spark is back in my Eyes….. Thank you for this healing journey. Thank you. I feel so much lighter.”
