Reiki HealsReiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that promotes healing. This modality is powerful, simple and can be learned by anyone. Discovered by Dr. Mikao Usui in the early 1900’s, laying on hands - similar to this - has been practiced for thousands of years. The Original Reiki IdealsThe secret art of inviting happiness. The miraculous medicine of all diseases. Just for today, do not be angry. Do not worry and be filled with gratitude. Devote yourself to your work and be kind to people. Every morning and evening join your hands in prayer, Pray these words to your heart, And chant these words with your mouth. Usui Reiki Treatment for the improvement of body and mind. The founder . . . . Usi Mikao The Word and What it MeansReiki (pronounced ray-key) comes from two Japanese words - “Rei” and “ki”. Rei is the upper character and ki is the lower character. Rei means universal, higher knowledge or spiritual consciousness, wisdom that comes from God, Higher Self, God Consciousness, all knowing. The knowledge of the complete being, cause of problems and the knowledge to heal.Ki is life energy. Means the same as “Chi”. Non-physical energy. When life energy is low due to a restriction in flow, much like a flowing river, illness is more likely. In a nut shell, Reiki is spiritually guided life energy. Many BenefitsSince this modality is an energy directed modality technique, some people have trouble understanding exactly what Reiki is. The only visible part to this treatment is the practitioner placing hands on the clients body. The feeling can be incredible though - heat like the glowing sun, a calmness, harmony and a wonderful sense of well being. Often times a client can feel the “heat” (energy) coming through the hands.Many people have reported miraculous results and doctors and hospitals are in the western world are beginning to see the benefits. Some have incorporated patient care programs that include this philosophy. The Treatment SessionReiki is a state of mind and comes from love, compassion and kindness. Energy flows through the practitioner’s body and into the person receiving the treatment.The practitioner remains well grounded as well as keeping the subject grounded while administering this technique. Hands are placed on landmark areas of the body for 10 minutes at a time for each location (90 minute session) - this is an average, some locations of the body require less - some more. The practitioner goes into a meditative state and visualizes symbols and colors that have been taught to the practitioner. Along with each symbol - the name of the symbol is visualized in the mind. The body, aura, emotional state and chakras are all taken into account during a healing session. The person administering often times gets “feed-back” images of the body while in the session that might be communicating ailment or illness in the body that requires extra care. The person receiving the treatment may not even be aware of these “problem” areas. The paragraphs above explain just one partial method of how to use this practice. Learning this modality can certainly increase your faith. A person does not always have to see a physical motion to see some awesome results. There are many other ways to use this modalityand if you are a professional body worker I encourage you to certify / license in this modality. Training - How to Become a PractitionerReiki is taught through a level III / Master. Level I and II can be learned in an intensive 2 - 3 day weekend course. Advanced Reiki is a one day course and obtaining the level III / Master Training is another 2 - 3 days weekend course.There is an attunement after each level is achieved. Advanced classes are avilable to the level III / master. Although all levels could be learned in a short period of time. Periods of time between each learning instruction allows the practitioner to “absorb” and learn what each level has to offer. Powerful Personal EventWebmaster’s note - I am a level II Reiki practitioner. In 2006 I had a friend that was diagnosed with a blockage in the heart. X-rays showed where the blockage was and treatment was ordered for two days after the blockage was discovered. Treatment would involve going into the heart and expanding the area where the blockage is to improve blood flow in the blood vessel (angioplasty).We did a treatment session the day after diagnosis. The following day when my friend went in for the procedure, X-rays were ordered prior to the angioplasty. All blockage was completely gone! A miracle. The procedure was not performed. Always remember - as a practitioner, you are only the conduit which energy flows. The true energy comes from the powers above. Sincerely thank the powers that be after each session.
