Reiki therapy and healing of the body and spirit with universal life energy.

Reiki therapy and healing of the body and spirit with universal life energy.

Reiki therapy is an ancient hands on reiki healing technique that is available to all persons regardless of age or circumstance.

Reiki therapy does not require years of study and is not a religion.

The essence of Reiki healing as experienced by humans is love and grace. Reiki allows us to offer ourselves and others this essence in a non-intrusive and profound way.

The term Reiki (Rei Ki) is used in Japan for all kinds of healing by using life energy.

Reiki means Universal Life Energy

Rei refers to the cosmic, universal energy and Ki refers to the physical energy of life (Chi, Sanskrit: Prana).

Mikao Usui combined those words to form the word Reiki.

Reiki is one name for the life energy that surrounds us and also means the ability to activate the universal life energy.

It´s a word for the form and also the method of passing on and using this ability.

Reiki energy is neither positive or negative, not ying or yang, it is THE energy that makes life possible.

Reiki is spirit, Reiki is everywhere, Reiki is as normal as breathing.

The more Reiki energy the body gets, the more we feel free and in harmony with ourselves.

Every living being has a channel for this energy.

Everyone has the base within oneself to use it. The only thing that has to be done is to activate those channels, called attunement.

To heal with putting hands on the body is a technique to channel Reiki and pass it on.

We are not the ones who "give" Reiki, we are just the channel for it. Reiki energy is "smart", it usually "flows" to that part of the body, where it is most needed.

Reiki is an instrument for healing, but it´s primary function is to promote wholeness (becoming one with oneself.)

Reiki energy is regarded as life energy at its most effective-with the maximum vibration. It is considered to have an almost divine quality and as such includes everything, in a world where problems and disorders are deemed to be due to the feeling of detachment from the world. There is no division of Reiki energy into positive and negative forms but when a person undergoes a session of therapy, they allow the energy to be taken into themselves with beneficial effects. Essentially, those receiving Reiki energy decide subconsciously just how much of the life energy is taken in.

Those who use Reiki regularly often find they are more joyful, lively and their own in-built energy is enhanced-almost as if their batteries had been fully charged! Existing conflicts within the person are broken down and there is a greater vitality, leading to relaxation and a stimulation of the body. As this improvement develops, the natural processes of renewal and removal of toxins are enhanced and rendered more effective, ultimately opening up more of the body to the life energy.

Body organs such as the skin, and protective systems such as the immune system are improved providing the individual is prepared regularly to undertake Reiki and in the first place to undergo an attunement or initiation into Reiki energy. The initiation is merely a means whereby the universal life energy is bestowed through the Reiki master. The master acts as a channel and a link with God to release the healing power.

An initiation is not absolutely essential but it allows the individual access to the universal life energy, which is used rather than their own life energy. Also, an initiation conveys a greater capacity for using Reiki energy, with no associated tiredness and further, it provides a protective mechanism against any negative manifestations.

Reiki is a safe, gentle, non-invasive form of hands-on healing. Recipients report their experience of Reiki includes increased energy, reduction of pain, deep relaxation and a general feeling of well being. Reiki initiation attunes a practitioner to become a channel for the Reiki energy and is a powerful, life-changing experience for physical, mental and spiritual growth.

The Usui method of natural healing has evolved into many different channels or styles. Reiki, as taught by Hawayo Takata, involves three levels or degrees. As taught by Dr. Barbara Weber Ray, it involves many more levels or degrees. There are almost as many styles as there are Reiki Masters teaching today.

Traditional Usui Reiki involves three levels or degrees as created by Hawayo Takata. A practitioner is initiated by a series of attunements, which opens the flow of universal healing energy. The training includes the history, scientific evidence of Reiki energy, how to prepare to give a Reiki treatment, how to prepare a room for Reiki and the various techniques for performing Reiki treatments.

* Level 1 Reiki connects the practitioner to the Reiki energy and teaches hands-on Reiki
* Level II Reiki teaches the practitioner long distance or remote healing
* Level III Reiki initiates the practitioner to become a Reiki Master

Each level has its own set of attunements and techniques for the type of Reiki to be practiced. Once a person has received these attunements, they are Reiki practitioners capable of channeling the Reiki energy. Reiki initiations are for life.

You will find a variety of fees and lengths of time for Reiki classes with different Reiki Masters. Some require a minimum fee while others require a fee of up to $10,000 for a Reiki Master Certificate.

Some Reiki Masters offer Level I, II and III in a single weekend. Most prefer to do each level separately because most Reiki students report that the attunements cause changes in all aspects of their lives to which the practitioner needs time to adjust. Because of this, most Reiki Mastes do not combine Level I, II, and III classes. They allow practitioners time to gain the benefits of each attunement.

There are many things to consider when choosing a Reiki Master to train with. If possible, experience a healing from a student of any Reiki Master you are considering. Evaluate how well they have transferred the skill of giving a Reiki treatment. Talk to the Reiki Master and listen to your intuition, and train with a Reiki Master you feel in harmony with.

The whole body Reiki is used to treat the whole body to achieve relaxation. It facilitates the removal of blockages in energy flow and the dispersal of toxins.

Long-term practice of whole-body Reiki will restore the general condition of the body. The energy channels are opened to allow the body to deal properly and naturally with both stress and the build-up of toxins. It will help you to cope with anxiety and depression.

Reiki therapy is also useful when you are recovering from an illness. Reiki will provide the additional energy required to recover from the illness. It will also reinforce the effects of any other method of natural healing. It can be used as a supplementary therapy as it is a truly complementary system of treatment.

Reiki therapy can be a very useful adjunct for anyone taking a course of drugs. It can help reduce some of the side effects of drug therapy. Reiki helps the body in the recovery after drug therapy, after surgery and after chemotherapy. In all these cases, Reiki therapy supplies the body with extra life energy, enabling the body to bounce back more quickly from the burdens of surgery and chemicals.

In some cases, use of Reiki therapy after an operation will lessen pain. It will accelerate the natural healing processes. The key to success is that the therapy be undertaken on a regular basis. When a person is enjoying good health, the regular therapy increases the body's built-in defenses which manifests itself as a confidence and outward harmony in dealing with everyday events. It bestows a greater ability to deal with stressful situations. You will gain a positive outlook on life. Once the blockages and toxins have been removed from the system, the scope for personal advancement and growth becomes available. In general, the better metabolic functioning afforded by Reiki therapy means that benefits and improvements may be experienced in many ways.
