Reiki
Reiki is an ancient Japanese
word which means "including all" and is a
healing energy which works by
transference of energy through the hands
of the healer to the
afflicted.
It is believed by practitioners
that Reiki energy changes the frequency
of ones aura, or body energy, and
promotes healing on a physical level
first, followed by the emotional level
and finally the spiritual.
The big difference between Reiki
and other types of hands on healing is
the belief that Reiki energy can be
transmitted from the healer not only
through actual physical touch but also
distance.
The healer is filled with
universal energy all the way down to the
cellular level, asks the clients spirit
for permission to heal the body, and then
transfers the Reiki energy only if it is
determined ( by the Reiki energy itself)
to be within the patients highest
good.
The treatment is started by the
healer rubbing their hands together and
then placing their hands on the patients
body or just above the body but still
within the aura field.
Reiki energy knows exactly where
to go and how to heal so it is not
necessary for the healer to know what is
making the patient sick or even how to
heal them, Reiki is based a lot on
trusting the universal energy of life and
health and allowing healing to take
place; to the point of the patient
possibly not even being healed of the
affliction they originally went to the
Reiki healer for, as the energy will heal
whatever part of the body, mind, or
spirit needs it the most.
While in a healing session, both
the patient and the healer may feel cold,
prickly sensations or nothing at
all.
Practitioners believe that Reiki
will adjust its intensity by the needs of
the patient, and the result is that the
healer will instinctively know where and
how to move their hands.
Healers report feeling
rejuvenated and recharged after sessions,
as Reiki does not deplete energy, but
rather uses it in a type of spiral,
recycling it back into the healer after
cleansing the patient.
Reiki is mean t to be used as a
co operative with other types of healing,
and is particularly good after a
massage.
Practitioners and patients both
report that the use of Reiki helps reduce
the negative energy brought forth by more
conventional but necessary medicines,
such as chemotherapy and AIDS related
medication side effects.
It also can be used on anything
that has energy-another aspect that
differentiates Reiki from other forms of
alternative medicine-such as
cars.
It is important to note that
while Reiki practitioners believe that
Reiki can be sent to heal from far away,
that a reputable Reiki practitioner will
not do it without the person's
permission, and in fact, can
not.
In order for Reiki to work both
healer and patient must believe that it
will work, and even the most painful
suffering sometimes can not make someone
believe that just laying hands over their
bodies and sending energy will help
them.
However, the other side of that
coin is people who are in so much chronic
agony that they are willing to try
anything to have even a small relief from
their pain.
If that is the case, far be it
from me or you to try to talk them out of
it. As far fetched as you might think the
practice of Reiki sounds, there are
absolutely no proven negative side
effects, so even if you don't believe
Reiki will help your suffering friend or
relative, remember, it can't
hurt.
