Reiki
Reiki is a gentle but strong transfer of universal
healing energy. It facilitates natural healing emotionally, physically,
mentally and spiritually. It also can act as a turbo charger to accelerate the
process of self discovery and release of karmic burden. Reiki is mindful in
that it the outcome is not controlled by the practitioner. Reiki energy goes
to where it is needed and to the degree it is needed, always enhancing the
positive outcome for any situation. A Reiki
practitioner can help to focus and direct this energy by simply placing the
hands on the fully clothed client. During a session, (approximately 1hour and
15 min.), one may feel heat, tingling or vibrating sensations. Occasionally
old emotional blocks will surface and release, never to be a burden again. The
experience is deeply relaxing, peaceful and balancing. A sense of well being
and renewal will ensue treatment. Having practiced Reiki
for 9 years, I now find I am often able to "tune into" issues, illness,
old scars, wounds and surgeries when working with a client. The body stores
all information within the muscles and organs and
will "act out' in these corresponding areas when emotional issues are
unresolved. Utilizing Reiki alone or in conjunction with other therapies
creates significant change on all levels.
To research how the body stores emotional ,information
and corresponding disease please refer to Louise Hay's book, Heal your Body,
heal Your Life.
What Can Be Treated?
Reiki
is both powerful and gentle. In its long history of use it has aided
in healing virtually every known illness and injury including serious
problems like: multiple sclerosis, heart disease, and cancer as
well as skin problems, cuts, bruises, broken bones, headache, colds,
flu, sore throat, sunburn, fatigue, insomnia, impotence, poor memory,
lack of confidence, etc. It is always beneficial and works to improve
the effectiveness of all other types of therapy. A treatment feels
like a wonderful glowing radiance and has many benefits for both
client and practitioner, including altered states of consciousness
and spiritual experiences. If a client has a health condition, and
wants to be treated with Reiki, it is recommended that they do so
under the supervision of an enlightened medical doctor or other
health care professional. Reiki will improve the results of all
medical treatment, acting to reduce negative side effects, shorten
healing time, reduce or eliminate pain, reduce stress, and help
create optimism.
How
Does Reiki
Work?
We are alive because
life force is flowing through us. Life force flows within the physical body
though pathways called chakras, meridians and nadis. It also flows around us
in a field of energy called the aura. Life force nourishes the organs and
cells of the body, supporting them in their vital functions. When this flow
of life force is disrupted, it causes diminished function in one or more of
the organs and tissues of the physical body.
The life force is
responsive to thoughts and feelings. It becomes disrupted when we accept,
either consciously or unconsciously, negative thoughts or feelings about
ourselves. These negative thoughts and feelings attach themselves to the
energy field and cause a disruption in the flow of life force. This diminishes
the vital function of the organs and cells of the physical body.
Reiki heals by
flowing through the affected parts of the energy field and charging them with
positive energy. It raises the vibratory level of the energy field in and
around the physical body where the negative thoughts and feelings are
attached. This causes the negative energy to break apart and fall away. In so
doing, Reiki
clears, straightens and heals the energy pathways, thus allowing the life
force to flow in a healthy and natural way.
Do All
Healers Use Reiki?
All healers use life
force or Ki, but not all use
Reiki.
Reiki is a
special kind of life force that can only be channeled by someone that has
been attuned to it. It is possible that some people are born with
Reiki or have
gotten it some other way. However, most healers who have not received the
Reiki
attunement from a
Reiki Master are not using
Reiki but
another kind of life force. People who already do healing work consistently
report an increase of at least fifty percent in the strength of their
healing energies after taking the
Reiki
training.
This was verified for
me when I first began teaching
Reiki. There
were two clairvoyant healers I knew who had highly developed abilities. They
could easily see the life force flowing through a person's body, as well as
see the aura and chakras. They could also communicate with a person's guides
and Higher Self. They were adept at moving negative psychic energy out of the
body as well as channeling healing energies. In my twenty years of
metaphysical work, they were the most accurate and effective psychic healers I
had met.
They told me later they
had doubted there was anything I was teaching they couldn't already do, but
that they took the
Reiki training anyway, simply to support me in my new work. After the
attunement, they were amazed at the difference they could feel between the
healing energies they had been using and
Reiki. They
said the Reiki
energies were more powerful and of a much higher frequency. They noted also
that Reiki
didn't have to be guided like the other healing energies they were using, and
that the Reiki
energies began flowing without having to enter an altered state. They also
indicated the attunement process itself was a powerful healing experience,
releasing restrictions relating to their healing work they had unknowingly
acquired when they were healers in past lives. They were very pleased they had
taken the class.
Reiki Can Never
Cause Harm
Because
Reiki is guided
by the God-consciousness, it can never do harm. It always knows what a person
needs and will adjust itself to create the effect that is appropriate for
them. One never need worry about whether to give
Reiki or not.
It is always helpful.
In addition, because
the practitioner does not direct the healing and does not decide what to work
on, or what to heal, the practitioner is not in danger of taking on the karma
of the client. Because the practitioner is not doing the healing, it is also
much easier for the ego to stay out of the way and allow the presence of God
to clearly shine through.
Energy is Never
Depleted
Because it is a
channeled healing, the
Reiki practitioner's energies are never depleted. In fact, the
Reiki
consciousness considers both practitioner and client to be in need of healing,
so both receive treatment. Because of this, giving a treatment always
increases one's energy and leaves one surrounded with loving feelings of
well-being.
