What is Reiki?
Developed thousands of years ago, in fact it was developed only in the 1900's in Japan.
Reiki principles are based on the Universal life force energies and is a
hands on healing art. There are many ways of using Reiki with the art being
passed from a master to his pupil in stages and over a period of time.
The
word reiki is copied from two Japanese words Rei and Ki. These are the words
that denote the "Universal Life Force and energy.
Reiki uses a person's own
aura to assist in their healing, This aura is known as Chi and when Reki is
used, the practitioner helps to strengthen the aura of the person they are
healing.
Chi is a mystical term which is used by many in both healing and
the martial arts. There are many other mystical cultures which also use the
universal life force for healing, however they are known under different names.
It is now a well known researched fact that the universe is made up of
energy and it is this energy which is tapped into when practitioners use Reiki.
They are able to adapt and use this positive force when healing a person.
Many critics of Reiki think of this type of healing as a scam; however
practitioners claim that it is the energy surrounding every person which can be
utilised by even our thoughts to ensure healing takes place.
They also claim
that reiki can also be based on the "sciences" of both Quantum Physics and
Metaphysics and may also be a deciding factor in why some people often make
miraculous recoveries from often life threatening illnesses. Reiki practice is
based on the actual universal forces present around a person
There are many
anecdotal and recorded instances of unexplained healing for many people whether
it is through prayer, the laying on of hands or any other form of healing. As it
is thought the core principle of all these healing strategies is the utilisation
of universal energy, it can be assumed that Reiki healing is actually based on
principles as old as time itself.
What does Reiki feel like?
A Reiki treatment is one of the most pleasurable experiences one can have. It's
non-invasive, not uncomfortable, you don't have to undress for it, you can lay
down, or you can sit up. It's preferable to lay down to get the most out of it
as you can totally relax, but if you are unable to, for whatever reasons, then
sitting is fine too.
It is assumed by many people that Reiki
healing is a difficult art to master, when in fact it is one of the simplest. It
is also very easy to use and practise.
When using Reiki for healing, the
practitioner places their hands upon the person who wishes to be healed with the
wish for the energies around that person to be used for healing. Many people
swear by Reiki and feel it is a very useful form of alternative treatment.
It is important to stop Reiki if you feel pain, dizziness or nausea.
