Brighids Flame Reiki Brighids Flame Reiki Channeled on 6 June 2008 By Joanna Rowan Mullane Usui Reiki Master/Teacher www.earthandskyspiritreiki.com
Introduction This beautiful Reiki system was gifted and channeled to me by the Bright Goddess Brighid on 6 June 2008. I was performing my morning Reiki practice and working with some new crystals when I saw four golden colored symbols come flying through the area of my Third Eye Chakra. They came through so fast and powerfully that I practically fell off my meditation pillow trying to grab for a pen and paper. I drew the symbols first and then heard the words and meanings associated with each symbol. I heard the name Brighids Flame Reiki and felt warm tingling over my third eye and the back of my head, my hands were tingling and warm with energy as well and I knew Brighid was passing to me her symbols and energies. This manual contains the information she channeled to me on that morning and it is my honor, and with her blessings, that I am now passing this energy system to you. *There are no prerequisites for receiving this attunement although some knowledge of Reiki or energy work is of course beneficial.
The Bright Goddess Brighid Brighid is known by many names: Brigit, Bride, Saint Brigid, Brigantia, Brigdu and Breo Saighead which means Fiery Arrow. She is the daughter of the Dagda, the good god of the Tuatha de Danann and Morrighan, the triple goddess. Brighid is the flame that illuminates our world, she inspires, transforms us, and heals; coming through fast and strong like lightning and departing just as quickly leaving behind a more illuminated body, mind, and soul. She is the Celtic Goddess of the Hearth Fire, Creativity, Poetry, Inspiration, Smithcraft, and Healing. Brighid is action, focus, strength and purpose. Her influence touches every stone, tree and river. She is light, the Earths breath, shining proud and strong. She wants us to live fully, to appreciate our strengths, as well as our weaknesses, so that we may be reborn to the light that is already within our own heart. She offers us peace and solace under the protection of her Mantle (her magickal cloak) and a strong presence that we can lean upon in our times of need. Her message for us, Do not forget to be present in the moment; stop and listen, enjoy what is all around you. The trees await you, the lakes, rivers and streams beckon you, the stones, ancient and timeless, lend you their strength. Drink the healing waters from her healing cauldron and know that you are home with all that surrounds you, you are one with her and all that is and ever will be.
The Symbols of Brighids Flame Reiki The Poets Muse This symbol is used for Inspiration, Creativity, Poetry, Communication with friends, loved ones, or Family. Can also be used in social settings to allow the gift of gab to come forth. It represents a music note allowing your words and creative spirit to flow through you. To draw this symbol start with the cleft on the left and follow through to the spiral, add the two circles on top last. The Forge Craft This symbol can be used for forging your dreams, aids you in realizing and bringing to the surface your true calling and divine purpose here on Earth. It represents the Anvil and the Smith who uses it to forge beautiful things out of something ordinary. To draw this symbol, draw the anvil first and draw the spiral last.
The Hearth Fire This symbol is for family, house and home, balance, traditions, honoring our ancestors, protection, strength, and the center of your being. It represents the connection to all of these gifts that are important, balancing the everyday with the connection to Spirit, making all of this the center, the hearth, of your life. Think of this symbol as the two lines across the top being the mantle to the hearth, the three circles representing Brighids Cloak covering all you hold dear and the spiral as the fire that burns brightly in the hearth, the center, the core that holds it all together. To draw this symbol start with the two lines on top, then the three circles and the spiral last. The Cauldron of Light This symbol is for healing, not just others but your inner self, herbcraft, learning and working with herbs, honoring the bounty of Earth and all of her gifts. It represents the opening of our hearts, to have the courage and strength to see what needs healing within our own selves, so that we may truly help and heal others. To draw this symbol, start with the cauldron or bowl and draw the spiral last.
The Four Stones of Brighids Flame Reiki With this system there are four stones that coincide beautifully in working with the four symbols. It is not necessary to use them hand in hand, but as I was provided this information for this manual, I feel it is necessary to provide you the opportunity to experience these energies combining and working together to bring you, the symbols, and the stones together in harmony. Rhyolite This stone is used with The Poets Muse Symbol as it represents communication, speech, and creativity. Rhyolite represents change, variety and progress, it lights the fire of creativity within the soul, bringing to fruition the quests upon which one has longed to travel. It assists in providing insight to the subtle energy channels within the body. It is an excellent stone for promulgating, with humility, the actualization of self-realization. Copper This stone is used with The Forge Craft Symbol as it represents a sacred metal to the Ancient Celts used to create beautiful adornments as well as weapons. The forging of something ordinary into something beautiful, forging your dreams and bringing them into reality. Copper provides a harmonic connection between the physical and astral bodies. It has been used to amplify and to transmit thought, is a bestower of "good" bringing benefit to the user. Citrine This stone is used with The Hearth Fire symbol as it represents the fire within, the spark that is central to all that is important and sacred in your life. Citrine is one of the two minerals on planet Earth which does not hold and accumulate negative energy, but instead, transmutes it, working out problems on both the physical and subtle levels. Hence, it never needs clearing or cleansing! It is useful for balancing the yin-yang energy and for
aligning the chakras with the ethereal plane. Promotes contact with higher beings of intelligence. Ocean Jasper This stone represents The Cauldron of Light symbol as it represents the Earth as well as the Sea, the healing colors of the plant kingdom, and the harvest bounty. Ocean Jasper has a soothing, nurturing, and grounding effect. Those who work with any of its varieties tend to experience change happening in a gentle and gradual way. In working with this stone, you may have the feeling that these emotions, now out of hiding, aren't as important and troublesome as they had felt when they were trapped inside you. Instead, you may have a feeling of calmness, much like the sea after a storm. The Healing Herbs of Brighid The last portion of this manual will focus on some herbs that Brighid favors for their healing properties and their ability to be used safely. All of these herbs can be used in the creation of a healing incense or herbal blend if desired. Simply mix or grind a tsp of each herb within your mortar and pestle. While blending, focus on the intent to heal. Burn a tsp full within a fire safe cauldron or bowl on a charcoal tablet. Lavender Chamomile Vervain Sage Rose St. Johns Wort
Brighids Flame Reiki Attunement Process This attunement can be sent using two methods, in person or distance. In Person Prepare yourself and the room in which you will be performing the attunement, you may burn incense, candles, play soft music, whatever makes you and the person receiving the system, comfortable. The student does not need to do anything to prepare except relax and be open to the energies. When you are ready to pass the connection place your hands gently on the shoulders of the student and close your eyes focusing on your breath for a few moments. When you feel ready to pass on the attunement say aloud: I now wish to attune (Students Name), (Date and Time), to Brighids Flame Reiki. I ask this in his/her highest good, that they be connected to The Bright Goddess Brighid from this moment on. When passing this attunement, please follow the order of the symbols as they are in this manual. When you are ready visualize the first symbol floating before you in a golden light color, use your hand to bring that symbol down to the level of the students Third Eye and visualize it floating into the students Third Eye. Now draw that symbol on the students Third Eye. Repeat that process with the remaining three symbols. After you have drawn the last symbol place your hand upon the students Third Eye for a few moments and when you are ready, state the following: Goddess Brighid Keeper of the Sacred Flame I Call Forth Your Blessings Upon (Students Name) Allow their creativity to flow like a swift river Grant them your strength to forge their dreams Be the Fire that illuminates their Hearth and Soul Provide your wisdom of healing and the olde ways And protect them under your Mantle So Mote It Be
Distance Attunement This method is exactly the same except that you will not have your actual student present before you physically. Prepare yourself and your space in whatever way you feel comfortable with. Repeat the entire process either by visualization within your minds eye or by using a proxy (usually a stuffed animal of sorts). Wishing You Deep Peace & Light with Brighids Blessing, Joanna Rowan Mullane
