What
is Reiki?
The act of laying hands on the human or animal body to comfort and relieve
pain is as old as instinct. When experiencing pain, the first thing most people
do is to put their hands on it. When a child falls and scrapes her knee, she
wants her mother to touch it (or kiss it) and make it better. A mother's instinct
when a child is feverish or ill directs her to place her hands on the baby's
forehead. Human touch conveys warmth, serenity and healing. It also conveys
caring and love.
When an animal is in pain, a dog or cat's first instinct is to lick the pain area - for the same reasons that a person applies touch with her hands. An animal mother will also lick her young in distress. This simple act is the basis for all touch healing techniques.
What
does it mean?
The term Reiki means universal life
energy. Everyone has this ability but sometimes we need to be reminded of it
and have the energy channels reopened.
The
source of Reiki
In the life force energy of Reiki,
the person who is attuned as a Reiki healer
has had her body's energy channels opened and cleared of obstructions by the
Reiki attunements. She now not only receives an increase in this life energy
or Ki for her own healing but becomes connected to the source of all universal
Chi or Ki. This source can be described in any way the healer chooses to name
it. I call it Goddess! Other terms might be God, the higher self, the first
source, the universe or whatever can be termed primary creation or life energy.
Reiki is
NOT a
religion or affiliated with any religion. This life force energy is the source
of life itself and far older in concept and fact than any religious philosophy.
Reiki
Attunements
While everything that has life has Ki, a Reiki attunement
connects the receiver in an increased way to its limitless source. Upon receiving
the first attunement, the receiver becomes a channel for this universal healing
energy. From the time of the attunement and through the rest of her life, all
she needs to do to connect with healing Ki is to place her hands upon herself
or someone else and it will flow through her automatically. The attunement,
by placing the person in direct contact with the source of Ki, also increases
the life force energy of the person who has received it. She experiences an
energy that first heals her and then also heals others without depleting her!
This process of attunement is what sets Reiki apart from every other form of laying-on of hands or touch healing.
Reiki is transmitted through the hands and the strength of energy depends on the receiver's needs. Reiki supports medical treatment and brings the body and mind into an even balance. It works on all levels - PHYSICAL, EMOTIONAL, SPIRITUAL AND MENTAL.
Through Reiki you
will experience the blessing of spiritual growth and change.
Reiki
heals the whole person
In healing a headache, for example, Reiki may
also heal other organs and other levels. Though the healer's hands are on the
person's pain area, her head, many headaches have their source in the digestive
system.
If the headache is caused by the intestinal disturbance, the energy goes to
the intestines, as well as to the head pain. These are both physical - level
areas. If the headache has emotional causes, stress for example, Reiki also
heals on that level. Likewise, if the source of pain is at the mental or spiritual
body levels. If the person receiving the healing also has other diseases perhaps
allergies, Reiki will act there too, whether
she has mentioned it to the healer or not.
People
are more than physical "Beings"
We have a dense physical body that is immediately perceptible by sight and
touch, but we also have 3 other bodies. The non-visible, non-physical bodies
are energy levels comprised of Ki that direct the state of the physical body.
Healing cannot be physical alone, but must include the vibrational energy bodies.
Where medicine treats only the physical body, healing and particularly Reiki healing - treats all 4 bodies. Healing therefore goes much further than medicine, and is far more complete in its results.
In the example of the headache, taking an aspirin may relieve the head pain but it does nothing to heal the source. Reiki deals not only with the evident pain, but with the cause of the pain. With an aspirin the headache is likely to return after 3 hours; with Reiki the headache is permanently gone.
This is especially true for more serious diseases. The SOURCE of any physical disease is probably more than physical and the non-physical causes must be healed to heal the body pain. Most metaphysical healers believe that all physical pain has NON-physical roots in emotional trauma, negative mental patterns or spiritual despair. To heal these diseases these roots must be discovered and treated.
How
can Reiki help you?
For an acute, self-limiting disease (like the flu, colds, headache
or sprained ankle) one Reiki healing session
may be enough to help. When conditions are serious or chronic, however, more
sessions may be required.
I compare Reiki to charging a battery; if a person is in relatively good health they may only need a little charging. If they are more seriously ill, they may need a lot.
While Reiki will not heal most congenital birth defects it can bring about clear improvements in even seemingly hopeless conditions for the person living with a permanent disability, the Reiki energy may not be able to correct her condition but helps to make living as comfortable as possible. The energy eases pain, relaxes tense muscles, and calms the emotions.
Reiki can help a broken bone heal more rapidly but it is best to wait until after the bone is set to do healing directly over the break.
Reiki can be used alone or in conjunction with medical treatment. It will not interfere with medications or other procedures other than to make them more effective and the patient more comfortable.
Reiki is totally positive and can never cause harm to any living thing, whatever his or her condition or status it is valid for use on anyone, no matter how young, old or frail. If anyone is ill, in pain or in emotional distress, Reiki helps. Reiki positions balance the left and right hemispheres of the brain and balance all the chakras and the energy field. They clear and increase the human body's flow of life force Ki.
