Reiki is an effective energy healing method that has been practiced in various forms since the beginning of time.  Reiki (pronounced Ray-Key) is a precise method for connecting universal energy with the body’s innate powers of healing.  In the late 19th century Dr. Mikao Usui rediscovered the key which led to the recovery of a thousand-year-old tradition of healing. Reiki’s origins are found in the Tibetan sutras, ancient records of cosmology and philosophy.  Reiki practitioners use their hands to accelerate healing of the body cells; it’s important to know that with Reiki there is no body manipulation, only a light physical touch inspired by universal life energy.   We use the magnetism within our own nervous system and concentrate on this energy to intensify it’s healing qualities. It’s then transferred to the individual chakras (your energy points). Chakra energies are forever changing, interacting, balancing and re-balancing. If we can identify the chakras that need balancing, we can then help ourselves a great deal in our journey towards our full potential and well~being.

Questions Regarding Reiki~

 

Is Reiki a Religion?

While Reiki is spiritual in nature, it is not a religion. It has no dogma, and there is nothing you must believe in order to learn and use Reiki.  In fact, Reiki is not dependent on belief at all and will work whether you believe in it or not. Because Reiki comes from Divine Source.  Reiki transcends all religious beliefs and is available to everyone who learns to focus the mind on their true purpose of incarnation.

 What is Reiki  ?

Reiki is a spiritual healing technique and an energy healing technique.  Spiritual healing connects one with Universal Consciousness bring Spiritual growth by healing core patterns/issues and helping one to remember the fullness of Who They Are.  Energy healing bring relief of pain and symptoms in the mind, body and emotions.

 How Reiki Works?

Reiki is so gentle, but powerful and effective also. It addresses not only the symptom but also the cause of disease. Reiki treatment enhances the body’s natural ability to heal itself. Reiki treatment releases blocked energy and bring relief of pain and symptoms in the mind, body and emotions. This life-force energy is not inert or lifeless. It is an active, intelligent and conscious energy.  Reiki energy has an innate intelligence and goes wherever needed in the body and energy field. You can give Reiki treatments to yourself, family, friends, animals, plants and even machines and can be used for world events.

During energy healing, the healer conducts universal life energy into the recipient, allowing the overall health of the energy field to be enhanced. Though Reiki flows through the practitioner but is not generated by the practitioner and does not deplete the Reiki practitioners own energy supplies. The practitioner is the catalyst that assists the patient’s own life-force energies to absorb the correct frequencies required.

Reiki does not often confer an instant miraculous cure of any condition. It helps to correct body’s disturbed energy pattern, restores energetic balance and repair things like   blockages and tears in the energy field, which create disease and unhappiness. This can take time. Patient often gets great advantage from a single treatment but chronic disease may require consistent treatment for certain period of time.

 What are Attunements ?

Once attuned to Reiki, anyone can access this energy by just intention. It is amazingly simple techniques transferred to the student by the Reiki Master through the processes are called attunements or empowerment or sometimes initiations.  Its use is not dependent on ones intellectual capacity or spiritual development and, therefore, is available to everyone. It has been successfully taught to thousands of people of all ages and backgrounds.

It removes blocks in the aura and allows the healing energies that surround us to come in through our crown chakra and flow through our bodies and out our hands to where they are needed. They open the palm chakras and energy channels if needed and connect you to the specific Reiki  healing frequencies. The attunements also allow us to direct these energies for specific purposes.

In Usui Reiki there are normally three levels of Reiki designated I, II and Master/Teacher. In level one people are taught history of Reiki and the basic techniques for hands on treatment for themselves.

Level two attunes you to dynamic, multi-dimensional energy keys or symbols. These sacred symbols allow you to access many different levels or dimensions of energy.  In addition you learn specific techniques for absentee healing.

Level three adds a spiritual or intuitive healing energy function and the ability to attune others to use Reiki themselves or for others.   Psychic surgery and the making of crystal grids are also taught at this stage to enable the learner to remove energy blocks. There are different views concerning the waiting period between the attunements. I personally feel that it is a matter of personal preference and should be discussed with their mentor or person they are asking to be their teacher.  Listening to your own inner voice is the key to knowing when is the time to move forward.  Being a Reiki Master is not a sign or guarantee of a person’s moral fiber, upstanding behavior, or any form of spiritual development. Reiki Masters are as human as anyone else.
