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.
