Reiki is a Japanese term which means universal life energy. It is the power which acts and lives in all created matters. The word has two parts ‘Rei’ which means universe and ‘ki’ which means life force energy which flows through all living beings. Reiki is the word by which the universal life force is known. This force which is in abundance and surrounds the earth can be drawn by a person to cure him of various ailments and to enjoy a healthy and energetic life.
How does Reiki Work?
We have life because of Life force energy flowing through us. This energy flows through our physical body through our energy centers. It also flows around us as an energy field called aura. This life force energy enters the body from the crown and passes though different energy centers and then reaches every fraction of the body. As negative thoughts and incorrect food habits have an influence on the on the functioning of the energy centers, the performance of the energy centers gets affected due to wrong living. Due to the inactivity in the energy centers, it prevents the Reiki energy from reaching the parts of the body. The cause of our sickness lies here. Reiki’s aim is to cleanse the energy centers so that the universal life force can again flow well and reach all parts of the body.
Reiki Attunement.
To become a Reiki healer one has to go through the process of attunement. For receiving the attunement the student has to be physically present with the Reiki master and that is why Reiki cannot be learned from a book. The Reiki attunement is harmless and a simple process. It opens and clears obstructions in the body’s energy channels. The person being attuned receives an increase in this life force energy for his/her own healing and also gets connected to the universal source of this energy.
Reiki Healing
Reiki healing occurs when a Reiki healers places his/her hands on the patient. The energy is then drawn energy and flows to his energy centers and changes them with clear energy. This dissolves the negative energy, clears up the energy field and allows the amazing self-healing capacity of the body to assume over and healing takes station. During treatment with Reiki we lay our hands gently on various parts of the body with our finger closed. The healer soon experiences a kind of flowing sensation, often combined with a sensation of warmth, which can turn into heat or become quiet cold. The patient may also feel the flowing of hot or frigid sensation. Most Reiki recipients commence to relax during healing and may even tumble asleep, but this does accomplish any difference in the effects of treatments.
What can Reiki Heal?
Reiki is a very positive energy . It can be given to anyone-infants, adults or even aged people. Reiki can also be given to plants and animals. Reiki energies heal whatever needs healing, but the outcome can never be predicted. A healer cannot guarantee a certain outcome but the receiver is sure to profit in some way. Reiki relieves hurt, speeds the healing process, stops bleeding, relaxes the receiver and balances the person. Reiki has been known to aid in healing of illnesses like Arthritis, migraines, heart disease, blood pressure burns, asthma, cuts, rashes, bruises, back problems, stomach problem, throat problems, and lack of confidence, lack of sleep, diabetes, tiredness, tension, madden and depression. Reiki is helpful in healing almost all conditions. For a person who has no physical or emotional problems it prevents strain and illness, for those with nervousness and stress it removes the cause and leads to peace and relaxation. Some aches and pains are comforted immediately and unceasing problems may hold longer to heal. Reiki is an extremely edifying, simple and completely safe method of healing.
Principles of Reiki
#1: Just for today I will live the attitude of gratuity
#2: Just for today I will not worry
#3: Fair for today I will not anger
#4: Unprejudiced for today I will do my work honestly
#5: Just for today I will show love and respect for all living and non living things.
These five principles of Reiki helps us to stay away from getting caught in restlessness which arises because of our state of mind or our attitude This restlessness causes anger, hatred, envy and vengeance. This in turn affects our physical and mental health. When our mind is clear and relaxed we are bound to get good results.
Degrees in Reiki
There are two ways in which a person can benefit from Reiki. The first one is by going to a Reiki healer for healing and the second one is by learning Reiki. Reiki offers a three degree course. The first degree course of Reiki is a basic course for beginners which need no special qualifications. The first degree is primarily for self healing and for healing someone who is physically present. This healing is done by placing the hands on oneself or another person. Self treatment is very useful for deep relaxation and relief from stress. It creates a sense of balance in our physical, emotional and spiritual self. The second degree course in Reiki is an advance course which allows the healer to heal those who are not physically present and send energy over a distance. This is possible because the second degree course teaches about the three Reiki symbols and other worthy techniques for using Reiki. The third degree course in Reiki is a master healer’s course which qualifies you to be a teacher to thunder Reiki. This degree is suggested only for those who wish to take up healing seriously and want to make Reiki a key part of their lives.
Reiki becomes a way of life allowing you to live your life in a more efficient way prioritizing the significant things and learning to let go of unnecessary negative aspects of your existence. The best map to understand Reiki and how it works is to experience it for yourself, either by having a series of treatments, or by training just for own and family use. An important point to remember is that with Reiki there are no rights or wrongs because it will never harm you in any procedure but only bring happiness, satisfaction, health and abundance into your life.
