REIKI HEALING
What is Reiki ?
​
Reiki is a Japanese energy healing technique. The predominate form of reiki practiced throughout the world today, also known as Usui reiki, was created by Dr. Mikao Usui in the early 20th century.
​
The word Reiki comprises the two Japanese characters, rei, meaning universal spirit, and ki, meaning vital life force or energy. A hands-on healing therapy, Reiki is a therapeutic approach in which the practitioner facilitates the delivery of universal energy to an individual to enhance vitality and promote the body's innate ability to heal. The intention of the Reiki practitioner is to act as a conduit for the delivery of universal energy and thereby replenish and restore energy flow and balance.
​
Reiki practitioners believe that although everyone has the potential to access Reiki energy, most people are unable to connect with Reiki energy because of a history of trauma, which may have been mental, physical, emotional, or spiritual in nature. This trauma or stress illness has caused energy channels to be blocked. A Reiki master who has been empowered to grant initiations can open these channels and thereby allow Reiki energy to be accessed and received.
​
Reiki is taught in three levels or “degrees.” Each level includes a series of attunements or initiations intended to open and enhance the channels of Reiki energy within the practitioner.The first degree of Reiki training usually is taught in 10 hours which could be divided into two days ( 5 hours session per day). Once the attunement has been completed, Reiki practitioners believe the student is attuned to Reiki energy for life. Level I training includes the teaching of the hand positions for working on oneself and others.Students who complete the first level of Reiki and have a committed practice for several months to a year are eligible to study second-degree Reiki, or Reiki II. Training at the second level enhances the practitioner's ability to perform hands-on treatment through additional attunements. With this training practitioners are better able to assist clients in releasing their habituations and addictions. Level II also includes identification and application of three power symbols that can be used for sending absentee energy and healing intentions.
​
Third-degree attunement is used to initiate a Reiki master. A final, symbol, is activated, which increases the power of the practitioner's treatment and is used by the practitioner to help teach Reiki to others. Reiki treatments do not have to be performed by a Reiki master or by a practitioner who has completed the third-level attunements to be effective. Persons who are interested in teaching Reiki to others, however, should seek well-qualified instructors and consider working with a Reiki master.
HOW CAN REIKI HELP?
Reiki is an ancient yet simple healing technique. It has been found to produce profound results all through gentle touch, positive mindsets, and energy transfer. Whether you want to receive Reiki for emotional trauma healing, energy level balancing, or to develop yourself spiritually, Reiki has endless advantages. Some of the benefits of Reiki:
Breaks Down Energy Blocks and Balances The Mind, Body, and Spirit
Regular Reiki treatment promotes the consistent and unlocked flow of energy throughout the body. This allows people to feel less stress, enhances learning and memory, promotes mental clarity, and physical healing/ less physical pain. When energy passageways are blocked, positive energy cannot flow to certain parts of the body, which results in mood swings, fear, anger, pain, and more. Reiki can help keep these passages clear.
Cleanses Body of Toxins and Supports Immune System
Reiki technique is used to remind our bodies how to go back into the “repair” or “self-healing” state of rest and digest. By triggering this state, our bodies begin to cleanse themselves of useless energies. It also allows the body to protect itself from exhaustion, burnout, or immune system failure.
Helps You Sleep Better
You can always expect to feel extremely relaxed after a Reiki session. This kind of relaxation helps our bodies to sleep better, to heal better, and to think more clearly. It is not uncommon for people to fall asleep entirely during a Reiki Session.
Accelerates The Body’s Self-Healing Ability
Reiki balances your internal body levels to return to a near-natural state. This means that your breathing, heart rate, blood pressure, circulation, and other bodily systems will improve. This normal balance will allow your body to heal itself from within.
Clears The Mind and Improves Focus
Reiki reminds receivers to be in the present moment. The positive energy transfer allows the mind to focus on current events, not hold onto past mistakes, and not fret on anxieties about the future. This will help with accepting how life is unfolding and will help promote positive reactions to situations, people, and circumstances.
Relaxes and Releases Tension From The Body:
What many people love the most about Reiki is that it allows them to simply “be”. It is a couple of minutes of pure relaxation where the receiver can clear their heads and release the tension and stress of their day. The energy transfer through Reiki may make people feel peaceful, relaxed, and lighter which allows then to be in touch with their inner selves and reflect clearly on their lives.
Helps Spiritual Growth and Emotional Cleansing
Reiki addresses the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—not just the physical being. This means that the positive energy transfer through Reiki is extremely helpful in elevating the receiver’s mood and general attitude towards life. The healing that starts from within will reflect on their decisions and perspective on the outside.
Promote Harmony & Balance
Reiki takes a non-invasive approach to energy transfer that is extremely effective in promoting overall wellness. Through the energy transfer, the body is able to restore balance across all systems of the mind, body, and spirit. This creates harmony and allows people to continue in a positive lifestyle.
