Reiki

 

Reiki is the universal life energy or sometimes called unseen life energy. People are shifting to complementary and alternative medicines to cure illnesses than taking in more drugs. Reiki is one of the known complementary medicines. They are popular in Hawaii and Japan. It is the art of healing by using the palms. It is sometimes called “laying on the palms”. It was founded by a Japanese named Dr. Mikao Usuki. There are two branches of Reiki are the Traditional Japanese Reiki and Western Reiki.

It is believed that the practitioner's palm has energy and is transferred to the client through qi or energy flow. Traditional Japanese Reiki is more on intuition to where the placing of palms on the body wherein the energies may be blocked. However, Western Reiki has rules to follow where to place the palms during the session.

There are 3 forms of degrees in Reiki - the first, second and the master Reiki. During the first degree, you will have attunements and will be able to cure yourself and others near you. The attunement process enables the recipient to open and connect with the Universal Life Energies on mental, physical, emotional and pyschic level. How does it work? A Reiki practitioner will teach you the proper way of placing the palms on the body of a patient. The palms can be placed on and off the body while transmitting the energy from the practitioner.

However, the second degree is about distant healing wherein the healer doesn't need to see the patient. A patient can have a proxy. The healing and the client must talk ahead of time about the session. Usually, the practitioner is seated while meditating and imagining her patient and thereby, transferring the qi flows. A person can only perform this distant healing after 10 to 20 years of practicing Reiki.

Master or the teacher degree of Reiki is the person who teaches and at the same time practices Reiki. In other words, they have been experienced for many years of Reiki healing. They have much wider knowledge about the palm healing.

It is a simple, natural and safe way of self-improvement and spiritual healing which can be used by everybody. This system heals by raising vibrations of the being or object to be healed. It feels a glowing happiness that passes through the body. It helps in all type of physical problem. It energizes a person's whole body as well as emotions, spirit and mind which leads to peace of mind and a state of well being.

How does Reiki work? As it says to be the Universal life force, Reiki is compared to electricity. The recipient is the electrical appliance and the healer is the electrical outlet. Our body has believed to have energy field. When there is any blockages to these field, there is a tendency to feel discomforts such as depression, anxiety, and other stress-related ailments. An experienced practitioner knows where to place the palms where the energies are blocked. It boost the level of confidence of a person and increases energy levels as well.

Relying on anti-depressant drugs do not actually cure depression or anxiety problem. It only stops the symptoms for a while but not the problem. A Reiki practitioner will recommend a treatment plan that will take much time and effort but it is all worth it. It is an explanation that depth meditation and relaxation can actually cure anxiety.

Reiki has the ability to subside the feeling of anxiety. Anxiety is an ailment that more in mind rather than in reality. Reiki plays an important role in healing by letting the sufferer experience deep relaxation. It will only work when the person believe how does Reiki work but if not, it will never work on the body.

Another way to cure health discomforts is to pamper yourself from a hot stone massage. Basalt stones the are placed on different energy key points of the body open up blockages that will eventually help in good blood circulation. Poor circulation can result to fatigue, muscle pains which cause body discomforts. The heated stones on the body penetrate to the deeper tissues and flushes out toxins and then produce more oxygen in the nerves for the blood circulation. It has a calming effect not only to the body also to the mind.

It gives you a happy feeling, uplift you emotionally, and a sense of tranquility that will help you for a new perspective in life.
