Reiki Treatment Methods

Reiki energy (also known as spiritual medicine) is an excellent ever-ready tool in the hands of those who have received Reiki attunements. They can use it to heal physical, emotional and mental ailments or use for their spiritual development. There are different ways of using Reiki for different purposes. For physical and mental healing, Reiki may be applied using any of the following methods:

Hands-on Method (Level-1)

It is called "hands on" method because the Reiki practitioner has to physically place hands on the body of the recipient. It is important for the recipient to understand how Reiki treatment is done. It is a simple but powerful process and is usually done with the recipient lying down on a treatment couch or table, fully clothed. If necessary, recipient can also be covered with a sheet of cloth or a blanket during cold weather. No equipment, rubbing, pressing, pulling or massage etc. is involved. The practitioner simply and gently places the hands on the recipient's head, front of the body, back, knees and feet etc. and channels the Reiki energy through these points. This enables the energy to flow right to the source of the problem, not just the manifesting symptoms. While focus is given to the body's major organs, every cell of the body receives the energy and benefits from it. It can be specially applied to any part of the body which needs more attention, like the injured parts even through the bandages.

Distant Healing Method (Level-2)

This method can be used by a practitioner who has been attuned for distant healing, that is Reiki Second Degree. In this method, no physical touch is involved. As the name indicates, Reiki energy can be sent to any distance. The recipient is not required to be physically present with the practitioner. At this level, the Reiki energy is not bound by time and space. It can be sent to the past and future.

This method becomes very handy in a situation where touching the recipient is not practicable due to any reason or to treat someone who does not like to be touched by hand. There are several common and special techniques to send distant healing.

Misconceptions about Reiki Treatment with Hands-on Method.

As explained earlier, it is a simple process that involves nothing more than simple laying of hands on the body of the recipient. It is not like surgery to be performed by a group of doctors with lot of medical equipment around. It is also not like a stage drama or a magician's show. A Reiki treatment session does not require mysterious atmosphere or gestures. I have come across persons who expect the Reiki practitioner to be a mysterious person with supernatural powers who should do strange things like a magician. When this ridiculous expectation is not met, and they see the practitioner standing normally with his/her hands on the body of the recipient and doing nothing else, they feel disappointed and do not turn up for the second session. If you try to tell them what it is and how it works, disappointment can be clearly seen on their faces or felt in their voices. Such are the people who don't trust simple techniques and feel very happy if things are dramatized for them. This is not the right approach. Before asking for Reiki treatment, they should understand the system and straighten up their expectations.
