Reiki
(ray-kee) is an ancient rediscovered natural healing technique
involving the placement of hands onto the body in order to channel
energy. Reiki is a technique for stress reduction and relaxation
that allows everyone to tap into an unlimited supply of "life
force energy" to improve health and enhance the quality of life.
It can be defined as "spiritually guided life force energy". The
knowledge that an unseen energy flows through all living things
and is connected directly to quality of health has been part of
the wisdom of many cultures since ancient times. The existence
of this "life force energy" has been verified by kirlian photography.
Kirlian photography is a technique that allows the etheric energy
patterns around living things to be photographed it was pioneered
by Semyon Kirlian, a Russian researcher in the 1940's.
Reiki is an amazingly simple technique to learn. It does not take
years of practice, it is simply passed on through a series of
attunements from a qualified Reiki Master/Teacher to the student.
As soon as this happens, one has and can do Reiki. Because of
this, it is easily learned by anyone. The Master/Teacher "fines
tunes" the individual's own abilities to channel universal life
force energy much the same as turning a radio from am to fm.
The Reiki energy is perceived as heat or sensation that comes
from the channel's hands. It is gentle and stimulates the body's
own innate wisdom to cure at the cause of the problem, promoting
a holistic balancing of body, mind and spirit.
How
Reiki Heals
We
are alive because life force is flowing through us. Life force
flows within the physical body and 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 up and fall away. Reiki clears, straightens
and heals the energy pathways, allowing the life force to flow
in a healthy and natural way.
Reiki cleanses the body of built up toxins, relieves pain, soothes
shock, calms the mind and emotions, and accelerates the body's
natural ability to heal itself at the same time promoting a state
of total relaxation and well-being. Once a person has been opened
up to become a "channel" for Reiki, concentrated universal life
force energy will flow through their hands of its own accord and
they will retain this ability for the rest of their life. Reiki
in no way conflicts with medical procedures and in fact supports
and enhances all medical treatments. Reiki can be incorporated
effectively into the healing arts practised by health professionals
from traditional and alternative medicine.
Reiki
Always Works for the Highest Good
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. Permission should
always be asked of the healing recipient before proceeding to
give Reiki.
Reiki
Never Lessens Energy
Reiki
practitioner's energies are never lessened when doing healing.
During a Reiki healing session both practitioner and recipient
receive healing. Giving a Reiki healing always increases your
energy and leaves you feeling peaceful and revitalised.
What
Can Reiki Help You With?
You
can apply Reiki for any illness, it is always beneficial and works
to improve the effectiveness of all other types of therapy. A
Reiki healing feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows
through you and surrounds you. Reiki interweaves the whole person
- body, emotions, mind and spirit and creates many beneficial
effects including relaxation, feelings of peace, security, and
well-being.
Reiki activates the body's natural ability to heal itself. Reiki
energy goes to the deeper levels of a person's being, where many
illnesses have their origin. It works wherever the recipient needs
it most, releasing blocked energies, cleansing the body of toxins
and working to create a state of balance. It reinforces the client's
ability to take responsibility for their life and help them to
make the necessary changes in attitude and lifestyle to promote
a happier and healthier life.
Reiki energy can be used for anything and everything if we open
up to the situation through our intent. We can use it on ourselves,
other people, dogs, cats, plants, birds, groups of animals, situations
in the past and in the future, world situations and send it in
absentee to those who request help, the list is endless. One of
the wonderful advantages of Reiki is that as well as using it
on others you can treat yourself.
Reiki can aid relaxation, relieve pain, aid concentration, boost
the immune system, increase joint mobility, assist the body in
clearing toxins, help in the grieving process. Reiki is beneficial
in reducing shock, pain, bleeding and bruising.
Reiki
for Animals
It
is not known what animals experience when Reiki is applied, but
they do tend to become noticeable quieter and soon let go and
relax.
When applying Reiki to domestic animals lay your hands behind
their ears. To send Reiki to the rest of the body let your hands
remain at places where you feel the animal has pain or to whatever
area you are guided. The Reiki healing for animals is the same
as applying Reiki to people. In the case of small animals such
as mice, guinea pigs, birds, cup them gently in your hands. For
penguins, whales, lions or groups of animals in the wild, it is
best to use the absentee method.
Compared to other animals cats tend to react to Reiki differently.
The position behind the ears may become unpleasant for them after
a short time and they can become restless. It is best to start
cats off with small amounts of Reiki until they adjust, after
they get used to the Reiki they usually want and accept more.
Our cat comes in every evening and finds a lap to sit on and gets
a 20 minute Reiki treatment and then independently gets up, stretches
and says "I have had enough" and jumps off.
Reiki
isn't a Religion?
No,
Reiki is not a religion. Reiki is used with the same success by
people of many faiths and religions, by free thinkers as well
as by the followers of widely differing philosophies and ideologies.
In fact, Reiki is not dependent on belief at all and will work
whether you believe in it or not. While Reiki is spiritual in
nature, it has no dogma and no special kind of faith or belief
is required to learn or practice Reiki.
The Attunement
Reiki
is transmitted to a student by a Reiki Master during an attunement
process. This process opens the crown, heart, and palm chakras
to receive the ability to channel Reiki.
The Reiki attunement can start a cleansing process that affects
the physical body as well as the mind and emotions. Toxins that
have been stored in the body may be released along with feelings
and thought patterns that are no longer useful. After an attunement
there is a 21 day cleansing cycle that consists of three cycles
of the 7
chakras, moving through from the base chakra then the sacral
chakra, solar plexus, heart, throat, third eye and crown, one
each day, then after the seventh day returning to the base chakra
and then repeating the cycle. Once you have received a Reiki attunement,
you will have Reiki for the rest of your life.
Channelling
Reiki - What Do You Feel?
Our
hands can feel hot and sometimes cold, or we feel a tingling
or pulling sensation in our hands. Occasionally the Reiki
Channel will feel no sensation at all and in this case it
is a good idea to ask the recipient what they are feeling
ie if they are feeling heat in some area of their body you
know where it is working and the recipient can tell you
when it cools down or changes. Sometimes we feel what the
recipient is feeling. At times the recipient will say that
they can't feel anything, then we know that Reiki is probably
working on an emotional, mental or spiritual level. Accept
that Reiki is working upon some level, and that it is working
for the highest good of all concerned.

Growing
with Reiki
Learning
Reiki is a good starting point for experiencing and working with
healing energy. In general, Reiki complements other healing methods
and spiritual practices. Again, listen to your heart and you will
be guided in choosing the right experiences and teachers for you.
Once you have learned a healing technique, the work begins. To
develop your understanding of, and sensitivity in Reiki, it is
a good idea to devote time to regular practice. Reiki is something
that will transform your life. It helps you become active in your
own healing. We give ourselves a Reiki healing everyday and everyday
we learn something new about ourselves, it also helps us to be
kind to ourselves.
