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.
