Reiki (ray' key) means Universal Life Force Energy and is a hands-on healing modality by means of which the vital energy flows through a Reiki practitioner to the receiver. Reiki is a very gentle, non-invasive system using natural energy to release tensions and enhance the healing process in the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual bodies.
Reiki can be beneficial to everyone! It aids the release of stress and toxins in any living being - adults, children, animals and even plants, helping the natural healing process in releasing tensions in the emotional, mental, physical and spiritual levels. Reiki stimulates your natural healing process and works well with medications, homeopathy, acupuncture, physical therapy, therapeutic massage, meditation and other healing modalities. Reiki is pure life force energy and does not interfere with the biochemical actions of prescribed medication. It also strengthens the ability to take responsibility for one's life, enabling the necessary changes in attitude and lifestyle and promoting a happier and healthier living. Channeling Reiki does not deplete the healer's own energy; it rather energises and revitalizes them. Reiki is helpful wherever there is a will to get well, in treating any disease, even chronic ailments, and will complement and increase the effectiveness of other types of treatment and medication. It is a completely safe, natural and holistic healing method.
Most people think of healing as just getting rid of physical symptoms but Reiki goes deeper than that. Reiki helps eradicate the habits and thought patterns which are the cause of illness and affects all aspects of daily life. Reiki treatments affect each individual in a very unique and subjective way. The results depend on the not always obvious needs of the person being treated.
What does a Reiki treatment feel like?
Receiving Reiki is a very simple process, but usually produces quite profound effects. The session begins by the client lying down on a treatment couch or sitting, fully clothed, closing your eyes and listening to gentle, soothing music, which helps to produce a state of deep relaxation. Then the Reiki practitioner will gently rest their hands upon you, non-intrusively, in a series of positions from the crown of the head to the feet.
Each hand position is held for a few minutes, and during this time healing energy will flow into you, balancing your energy system, releasing stress, soothing pain, and promoting your body's natural ability to heal itself. As the energy flows, most people will feel warmth, or heat, or tingling from the Practitioner's hands. It is usually a very relaxing experience: some people fall asleep. Other sensations may include seeing coloured lights or feeling as if you are floating. Sometimes people have an emotional release, as emotional turmoil is brought to the surface and dissipated.
While Reiki is very effective, it is not a miracle cure, and the effects of Reiki treatments build up cumulatively. To experience the full benefit of Reiki it is recommend one to four full healing sessions are received. In my experience, this number of sessions is usually enough to sort out stress, tension, anxiety, sleeplessness and emotional problems; physical stuff can take a little longer, but not always. Reiki generally produces long-term beneficial changes, so you do not need to keep coming back for endless Reiki sessions. However, once you have felt how wonderful it feels, you may want to keep coming back and back!
No matter what your particular complaint, the general effect of Reiki treatments seems to be to make you feel more laid back, more calm, less stressed and more able to cope. It seems to boost energy levels, raise spirits, and make you feel more positive about things. Stressful situations seem to wash over you.
Reiki brings things back into balance.
Distant Reiki Healing.
You do not have to be present to receive the benefits of reiki as reiki energy is not limited by time and distance. You can be anywhere, doing anything and still receive reiki. Many people enjoy receiving reiki as they settle down for their nights sleep.
Reiki is not just for people, reiki can also be sent to animals, situations, group meetings, etc. & it can also assist people to have more confidence while speaking in front of large groups of people or in special meetings. It can be used to help clear unconstructive energy from a home, office, etc. & supportive energy can also be sent before and after surgery for people and animals.
There is no need for any special preparation before receiving a healing you can just go about your daily life as usual, although if you wish you may like to find a quiet time to lie down & relax. You may if you wish when you awake or before going to sleep just say the following affirmation "I accept and I'm open to the Reiki healing energy that is being sent to me" so you are open and receptive to the healing energy when it is sent.
Experiences during or after distant Reiki healing can vary from person to person. You may experience any or none of the following:
Feelings of peace, serenity, calmness and/or relaxation
Feeling energetic
Feeling lighter
Happiness, laughing, and/or positive thinking)
What you may experience is not limited to this list.
Anything you experience is normal. Some people may not experience anything at all, this is also normal. It can mean that the Reiki healing energy is working on a different level of your body. Some people may start noticing a difference the next day, few days later, or even a week later. Some people are more sensitive than others but everybody receives the same healing benefit. As long as you accept and are open to the Reiki healing energy being sent to you, it will work!
