About Reiki
Reiki is a technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing, with its roots in ancient Japan. It is a hands-on therapeutic based on the idea that unseen life force energy flows through us (referred to in Reiki as Ki), creating and supporting life. If one's life force energy is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy. Ki is known in various cultures as Chi, Prana, Innate Intelligence, Vital Force, and more.
In Reiki practice, the source or cause of health comes from the Ki (Prana) that flows through and around the individual rather than from the functional condition of the physical organs and tissues. Ki animates the physical organs and tissues as it flows through them. If the flow of Prana is disrupted, the physical organs and tissues may be adversely affected. Therefore, it is a disruption in the flow of Ki that can create illness. An important attribute of Prana is that it responds to ones thoughts and feelings. These negative thoughts and feelings are considered in Reiki to be the main cause of restriction in the flow of Ki. Even Western medicine recognizes the role played by the mind in creating illness and some Western doctors state that as much as 98% of illness is caused directly or indirectly by the mind.
Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. It has been effective in helping known ailments, and has a beneficial effect on one's well-being. It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.
Reiki is guided by the Higher Intelligence and it knows exactly where to go and how to respond to restrictions in the flow of Ki. Reiki is not guided by the mind; therefore it is not limited by the experience or ability of the practitioner. It can work directly in the unconscious parts of the mind/body.
As Reiki flows through an unhealthy or stagnant area, it works to dissipate and clear negative thoughts or feelings lodged in the unconscious mind/body, allowing a normal healthy flow of Ki to resume. As this happens, the unhealthy physical organs and tissues become properly nourished with Ki and can function in a more balanced way.
Reiki treatment, as with IET and homeopathy, is an individualized and self-guided self-healing experience. What one specifically experiences during a Reiki treatment varies from person to person. Feelings of deep relaxation are generally reported by all clients. As Reiki energy encourages one to let go of tension, anxiety, fear or other negative feelings, one may experience a state of peace and well-being. Some drift off to sleep. Some have visions and report mystical experiences. At the end of the treatment, one feels refreshed with a more positive, balanced outlook.
Reiki energy works in harmony with all other forms of health-care treatments. If you have a medical or psychological condition, you are encouraged to see a licensed health care professional in addition to receiving Reiki treatments. Reiki is used in hospitals and is the focus of increasing interest within the medical community. More and more hospital nursing staffs are participating in Reiki training, as you can read about in this article.
