Reiki

By: Conrad Raw

In Japanese, Reiki means spiritual guided life force energy. Rei meaning higher self and Ki meaning life force energy or chi. This life force is used by practitioners for stress reduction, healing and relaxation administered by the practitioner laying his/her hands on you. Reiki works with Chi energy. The Reiki practitioner’s hands are either touching the body or slightly above the body. Reiki can be used in combination with other medical therapies as well as holistic therapies.

Learning Reiki is not done in the usual sense of teacher/student, but is actually transferred to the student by a Reiki master in a process known as attunement. This procedure allows the student to tap into the chi energy, which will then allow the student to perform Reiki on others. The energy is transferred to the student and to the receiver through intention. A Reiki practitioner will focus on intent, focusing in on the problem within the body that needs to be healed or for a simple relaxation. The receiver also should focus his intent on receiving the treatment. It is done the same way from master to student in that the master will focus his intent onto the student to learn and understand the practice of Reiki.

Reiki works with chi, the life force flowing through all of us through the passageways of the chakras. Energy is also located in our aura. The life force is basically encouraged through positive thinking and feelings. Reiki works by breaking up the negative energy and to strengthen the energy with positive energy. It helps to relax a little when receiving a Reiki treatment. The negative energy disrupts the process because Reiki must be able flow freely through the energy field.

A Reiki practitioner does not in him or herself provide the healing, the person undergoing treatment does. What the Reiki practitioner does is locate where the ‘patient’s’ problem is coming from and proceeds to use the higher self or the divine to work on the patient. Because of this, Reiki can never cause harm to anyone. After a treatment, most people see a big difference in the way they feel. They are relaxed and their energy levels have increased.

Reiki is not a religion, but it is a spiritual practice and therefore it is important for practitioners to behave in a way that will put themselves in touch with the divine that is within all of us. However, using Reiki does not require that one be greatly spiritual, it is available to anyone and has been taught to thousands over the years to all different kinds of people.
