What is Reiki and How Does It Work?
Reiki is a Universal Life Force Energy. It is a word of Japanese origin
and is pronounced "Ray-key". The word means universal life force
energy. It is a divine energy which comes from the higher source and
can be used by anyone. Although some sources say Reiki comes
from God, it can be universally used in any population or religion.
It is difficult to define the experience of a Reiki session. Many people,
who have experienced Reiki, will tell you that they cannot find the
words to describe or explain what they felt. This might be because
Reiki is equated with the emotion of unconditional love.
The transmission of Reiki is a non-invasive experience whereby the
receiver will remain fully dressed while lying comfortably on a
massage table. By using specific hand positions, a person can
receive Reiki to their entire body systems. The energy works at a
cellular level and the tissues recognize it when it is received. The
reason for this is that our bodies are made of the exact same energy
at the molecular level.
The person transmitting the energy is not responsible for the degree
of healing that can occur. At a subconscious level, a person will
decide whether or not they will accept the energy and to what
degree. Once the energy enters into a person, their body uses the
energy where it is needed. The energy cannot be forced because the
flow of the energy is set by how the receiver draws it into themselves.
There is a strong mind-body connection involved with illness and
disease. If a person is ready for this sort of healing, then the mental
or spiritual component can be healed allowing physical healing to
occur. If they are not ready, their symptoms may or may not improve
and the ailment can recur or remain a problem. The mental or
spiritual aspect connected to the physical problem, was not dealt
with. When this happens, it is possible for the mental or spiritual issue
to resurface in another form of disease or ailment.
Reiki can also be used for various other reasons. It can be used for
relaxation and enhancing meditation. It can be transmitted on animals
for healing and calming effects. You can be vitalized by consuming
food that was given Reiki prior to eating. Drinking water can be
purified with Reiki as it will remove chemicals and impurities.
It's important to note that no one can be harmed by Reiki energy. It is
unconditional love and can not be misused or misdirected. Since
Reiki accelerates healing, it is possible to experience some
discomfort during a session. Communication during a session is
encouraged for this reason.
Even though Reiki can bring about positive change, it is not magic.
Some persons have been living years with chronic conditions. In
these instances, it takes time and patience to allow healing on all
levels over a period of time. Also, there may be times when someone
is not meant to get well. In those situations, Reiki is used to help
people be more comfortable and peaceful in their highest good.
Remember, the receiver, their "Higher Self" and God/Creator are in
control.
Reiki givers use Reiki as a treatment when first aid is needed.
Bruises, sprains, strains, cuts, injuries, etc can be treated right away
with such an accelerated rate of healing that the injured cells forget
that they were harmed. This will result in an absence of swelling,
bruising, or pain. Cuts, once healed, will barely show scarring.
Reiki is intended for Self Healing and the healing of others.
It is a "gift" for mankind and it can change your life.
