THE MEANING OF KARUNA

 

       Karuna means Compassionate energy or as it is more appropriately "The Way of Compassionate Energy". It is healing and spreading the Compassion of the Creator to all, and all creation. It is "being" the compassion of God, or as Kuan Yin personifies. Karuna is a heart centered healing. It is a loving, heart centered compassionate healing art. It works best with the focus on the loving compassion of all creation flowing through you. "Compassionate Heart Reiki" is the term I use to best describe it. And it is not just compassion in healing others, but in spreading it throughout the world and universe in all that we do. The meditations of Karuna are to foster this compassion and to spread it throughout the universe.

       It needs to be stated here very clearly that this is not a religion. This is a healing art and meditative practice designed to cultivate compassion. Spreading love and compassion is always a worthwhile and wondrous endeavor in its own right. The practice of contemplating, developing and spreading compassion is found in many religious faiths throughout the world. There is no greater love on earth than a mother's love for her child, we should strive to reflect and share that love to all at all times.

 

PRACTICE OF KARUNA REIKI

 

       Karuna Reiki is the hands on healing art of loving compassion, and a way to connect to this compassion and share it with all creation. There are several aspects include Healing, Meditation, and Chanting. Karuna healing uses this connection to the Way of Compassion to bring compassionate life energy into a person to heal and balance. It is only in perfect love and compassion that we are truly healed. This healing love of God is truly a gift and is wondrous to share. Karuna Meditation is the embodiment of Compassionate Energy. It is focusing on the connection to the loving compassionate energy of the source and the sending it out everywhere, to all that need and to all creation so that all are in the process of healing.

       Karuna also uses the practice of chanting or "toning". Another part of the Karuna experience is to practice the energy use consistently so that the true nature of the loving compassionate heart of Karuna develops. The practice of connecting to your spiritual guides who are connected with the Karuna is also a legitimate path to explore.
