Reiki Healing
What is Reiki?
Reiki is described as a holistic therapy which brings about healing on physical, mental, emotional and spiritual levels.
The name Reiki derives from the Japanese pronunciation of two Japanese characters that describe the energy itself: 'rei' (meaning 'unseen' or 'spiritual') and ' ki' (Chinese qi, here meaning 'energy' or 'life force'). In English, the meaning of Reiki is often given as universal life energy. The noun commonly refers to either the energy or the therapeutic method which uses the energy.
How does it work?
Reiki teachings state that there is a universal life force energy which can be accessed by practitioners to induce a healing effect. The belief is that the energy will flow through the practitioner's hands whenever the hands are placed on, or held near a potential recipient, who can be clothed.
A second level of training, including another initiation, equips the practitioner to perform Reiki treatments from a distance. This method involves the use of special symbols to form a temporary connection between the practitioner and the recipient, regardless of location, and then to send the Reiki energy.
The energy involved in a Reiki treatment is said to be 'from the Universe,' rather than the personal energy of the practitioner, and is therefore inexhaustible.
Reiki is also used by practitioners as preventative medicine, as it is claimed that the energy encourages healing before any noticeable symptoms have emerged. Another consequence of the simplicity of Reiki is that it can be taught to children. Some teachers state that if, on some level, the intended recipient does not wish to be healed, the energy will not flow.
