About Reiki

What is Reiki?
Reiki is name of a Energy Healing technique used for treatment of different diseases at physical and mental level. Reiki is in fact the spiritually guided natural life force energy used to heal diseases, traumas, for stress management, sleep disorders, general mental and physical relaxation, development and amplification of personal abilities, manifestation of various goals in life and improvement of relationships etc.

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". 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 using 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. Reiki is neither magic nor a psychic way of healing.

Understanding Reiki
Every living being is born with this energy but cannot use it consciously. This ability needs to be activated through a process called “attunement”. 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, not the Reiki practitioner’s own energy. The practitioner is only a medium. Reiki also affects the so-called non-living objects, which you have to try yourself to believe. However, just attending a class and receiving the attunement is not enough. Learning Reiki does not automatically straighten up every thing. Learning to use Reiki is not the ultimate but only a beginning. After learning, you must use Reiki regularly 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 has many benefits. Generally, Reiki is perceived as a source to quickly heal just the physical body, which is not true. Application of Reiki is not limited to the physical factors; it works far beyond. 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. Reiki can help you in manifestation for various goals in life, treatment of various diseases, improvement of relations and creation of a congenial working atmosphere etc. etc. To do all this, you will have to work with Reiki on regular basis.

Reiki 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.

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. It is not meant to control the minds of others or break the black magic. If you can understand the working of Reiki correctly, you will be able to use it for much more than just the physical healing.
