How Reiki Helps You Heal
The constantly swirling energy that flows around and
through our bodies profoundly affects our health. All
humans have an inborn capacity to flow energy, and when our
body's energy is in balance, we are in good health.
However, if our body's flow of energy is blocked, or
depleted, or becomes toxic, our health deteriorates and we
experience pain and disease. Reiki is an energetic
'medicine' that focuses on restoring the balance of a
person's body energy, thus restoring health.
Reiki Means Life Force
Reiki (ray-key) is derived from Rei, which means "spirit"
and Ki, which means "life force" in Japanese. The Reiki
technique in giving treatments usually includes touch by
hand in a directed flow of healing energy. Depending on the
situation, Reiki acts in various ways. It will move the
energy if it is blocked, increase the flow of energy where
it is insufficient, remove pain by raising the energetic
level of vibration to the frequencies our bodies need for
healing, and it will harmonize energies for restful sleep.
Reiki is a gentle, non-polarized energy that is always
beneficial and never harmful.
Flowing Energy
Reiki treatments involves flowing and directing real
energy. Even though not everyone can sense or see the
energy, like all things, Reiki is subject to universal
laws. It is an energetic medicine that can be understood by
quantum physics principles (see Micheal Talbot's book,
"Holographic Universe). Reiki is not a belief system or
religion; in fact, one need not even believe in the power
of Reiki for it to work.
Reiki treatments can be performed for oneself and for
others. At any age, all of us are naturally able to learn
to do Reiki. When children fall, their reflex is to hold
their hands over the injured elbow or knee. A person with
an aching back or head will naturally place their hands
where they feel the pain. Healing vortexes of energy are in
human hands. This healing capacity is inborn to all of us -
not a special gift for a few. Although everyone can use
healing energy, it is not Reiki energy without attunement
from a Reiki master.
Attunement
Attunement is a process between a Reiki master and
student. The result of the process is that the student's
native capacity to flow and direct healing energy is
amplified. During attunement, the Reiki master empowers
students to receive and flow high vibrations of energy by
sealing a series of sacred healing symbols within the
energy field of the student. After attunement, the student
can tap and direct Reiki energy, and pass it on to others.
 After the student becomes a practitioner working with
clients, the Reiki treatments that are performed work by
dissolving and eliminating toxic energy. The treatments
also eliminate emotional energy blockages on many levels of
being - physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Reiki
is a complement to other forms of therapy and treatment,
which is why adding Reiki to their set of skills is done by
many types of care givers.
Reiki's Three Levels
Reiki is most often taught in three degrees or levels.
Attunement for each degree of training is passed from
master to student. First degree Reiki is primarily a
physical healing energy. This energy has a strong ability
to balance and harmonize the chakras (places in the body
where there are energy vortexes), remove negative energy
from a person's auric field, relieve stress, and heal the
body of diseases in general.
The second degree of Reiki energy expands the
practitioner's reach, adding healing on emotional and
psychological levels, which in many cases is where disease
really originates. The third degree of Reiki is of a
spiritual nature, and amplifies the energies of Reiki
degrees one and two to much greater levels. Once the
practitioner as attained Master Level Three, they are Reiki
masters, and can teach others and give attunements for
degrees 1, 2, 3 of Reiki.
Remember, health and well-being are natural to humans. A
person receiving a Reiki treatment may need just a
"jumpstart" or boost of energy to get back on the path to
better health. Reiki helps to create a balanced environment
within one's being so that healing can take place.
