Anyone familiar with the different healing modalities available today has come to know Reiki, literally translated as "Universal Energy." It is believed that everything is made up of energy. The practice of directing ethereal-based (spiritual) energy by using your own perception and intent can result in finding equilibrium and improved health.

Ancient practices in directing energy were more earth-based, and considered power-forms. They were far from subtle, and with the proper direction could affect significant change in others. In combat, the results were significant, and deadly. In the healing arts they were direct and extremely beneficial, assuming their invasive nature was balanced with strong ethics or divine guidance.

Some of these practices are still found today as shadow-images of their long-lost ancestors. There are pieces within different religious practices, older martial arts, and pagan healing techniques. Some are even displayed as a "magic act" of sorts (see the YouTube video on The Odic Force).

Moto-Ki is a more modern form of the ancient practices. The literal translation of "Moto" is "base", "foundation", "the cause", or "origin". Moto-Ki is the art of using a strong connection to ground to bring up powerful earth energy and project it. Originally it was feared to be too powerful. Once it was blended with universal energy practices the added spiritual connection provided a stronger level of safety and ethical behavior.

The experiences of learning Moto-Ki are quite different from those of the softer arts. Ethereal practices are more spiritual to start, and gently approach the practical application over time, eventually providing a physical experience of the result. Earth-based energy flow starts with a very physical connection, immediate and direct. Introduced initially through [non-combative] martial practices, students see the effects as strong, tangible, and undeniable. From there they work "upward", blending it with more universal/spiritual energy.

The process of learning Moto-Ki is also quite different. The ability to ground and then perceive and direct energy is an innate skill. You were born with it. You will not be told how. You will be prompted to remember.

Those who embrace a more scientific view of reality find this to be a more comfortable initiation into the world of energy work. At the same time, experts in ethereal energy forms (Reiki, Qigong, Quantum Touch) find that anchoring their current abilities to earth greatly intensifies their effect (see article on International House Of Reiki website).

The universe is all about balance. How can you have an "up" without a "down", the sky without the earth, the world of energy without the world of matter?
