About Reiki
What is Reiki?
Reiki is name of a Energy Healing technique used for treatment of different diseases at physical and mental level. It is mainly used for general health and well-being. Reiki is in fact the spiritually guided natural life force energy used to heal the diseases, stress management, healing traumas, sleep disorders, general mental and physical relaxation, development and amplification of personal abilities.
The word "Reiki" pronounced as “ray-key” is a combination of two Japanese words, “Rei” and “ki”. "Rei" means spiritual or universal and "ki" means the life force. The meanings thus becomes like, "The Universal Life Force Energy", which actually means the unification or synchronization of universal energy (rei) and the personal energy (ki). The word Reiki is also used as the name of an ancient technique that uses this energy for treatment of different diseases at physical, emotional, mental and spiritual level. It is a nonphysical and invisible universal energy and does not work like physical medicines. It is administered by just simple laying on hands without exerting undue pressure, massage or equipment of any type. Upon entering the body, it flows very gently and reaches every cell of the body and tries to remove the imbalance of energies wherever it occurs. As it adjusts itself in the body and begins the adjustment, it triggers the process of detoxification at all the four planes namely, the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual planes beginning at the physical level and gradually ascending to spiritual level.
Understanding Reiki
Generally, Reiki is perceived as a source to heal just the physical body, which is not true. Application of Reiki is not limited to the physical factors; it works far beyond. The emails that I receive very frequently have questions like, “Is it a magic?”, “Do you hypnotize?”, “Is it like telepathy?”, “Is it like psychotherapy?” and several other questions of this nature. The answer to all such questions is “No”. Reiki is a true spiritual medicine but is not related to any region, belief or medical system. Every living being is born with this energy but we cannot use it consciously. In very, very rare cases, the ability to use it can be natural but in all other cases this ability needs to be activated through a process called “attunement” (empowerment or initiation are the other names for the procedure) whereafter the healer can consciously use Reiki for personal development at all levels. Once attuned, the person instantly becomes a Reiki channel with the ability to pass the energy to himself, family members, friends or others at will including the animals and plants. The attunements are permanent, for the life time and the supply of Reiki is endless. The energy, which is passed to the recipient, is the universal energy is not the Reiki practitioner’s own energy. Therefore, it also affects the so-called non-living objects, which you have to try yourself to believe.
There are few other facts that must be understood about Reiki. It is a spiritually guided natural life force energy primarily meant to be used for development and amplification of personal abilities. Healing of the physical diseases, stress management, traumas, sleep disorders, general mental and physical relaxation etc are the secondary uses. It is a complementary medicine and should not be taken as alternative medicine. If the need be, it can be used alone while it can also be used alongside regular medical treatment whatever that might be. It supplements and speeds up the healing process and does not go against. It is a fully positive energy and does not cause any type of harm to the recipient or the healer. In fact it cannot be used to harm anyone. Reiki never flows for negative purposes.
As written earlier, Reiki is not a magic but it works beyond the three dimensional world. You can use it for as many purposes as you can think of. It can help you in many ways and add to your well-being. Manifestation for various goals in life, improvement of relations and creation of a congenial working atmosphere fall within the reach of Reiki but all that would need some work on regular basis like watering your plants regularly. Just receiving the attunement is not enough; which is only like opening the door. It is not the ultimate but only a beginning. After learning, you must use Reiki in your everyday life but don’t expect the miracles to happen overnight. Wait for the results, which will take time depending on what you are trying to achieve. Reiki attunement gives a handy tool in your hands for your personal development and to benefit from it wisely, not the power to rule the world. If you can understand the working of Reiki correctly, you will be able to use it for much more than just the physical healing.
