“Reiki is wisdom and truth” – Hawayo Takata.
Hawayo Takata |
Reiki can be defined as a Universal Life Force
Energy. Reiki, the Usui System of natural healing, is not only the most simple
and natural healing method we know of, but it is also the most effective way of
transferring this life force energy. Once a persona has been opened up to
become a ‘channel’ for Reiki concentrated Life Energy will flow through his
hands of its own accord, and he will retain this ability for the rest of his
life.
Reiki is a powerful, self healing method that
also promotes complete relaxation. ‘Rei’ means ‘universal’ and ‘Ki’ means ‘life
force’. ‘Ki’ is the non physical energy used by all healers. ‘Ki’ is all around
us and can be accumulated and guided by the mind.
Reiki is the non physical energy that animates
all living things.
As long as something is alive it has a life
force circulating through it and surrounding it. When it dies, the life force
departs. If your life force is low, or if there is a restriction in its flow,
you will more vulnerable to illness. When it is high and flowing freely, you
are less likely to get sick. Life force plays an important role in everything we
do. It animates the body and is also the primary energy of our emotions,
thoughts and spiritual life.
Reiki supports the body’s natural ability to
head itself. It:-
-
Heals on all levels whether mental, spiritual,
physical or emotional
-
Loosens up blocked energy
-
Cleanses the body of all toxins
-
Increase intuitive awareness
-
Strengthens ones’ self immune system
-
Helps one to meditate
-
Increased psychic sensitivity.
Who can learn Reiki?
Anyone can learn Reiki. The ability to learn
Reiki is not a dependent or intellectual capacity, nor does one have to be able
to meditate. It does not take years of practice. Reiki is a pure form of
healing not dependent on individual talent or acquired ability. Thus, as it is
not affected by the healers’ personality, the significance of the experience is
never clouded. It is simply passed on from the teacher to the student. As soon
as this happens, one has and can do Reiki. It is easily learned by anyone, even
children.
How does Reiki heal?
Reiki heals by flowing through the affected
parts of the energy field and charging them with positive energy. It raises the
vibratory level of the energy field in and around the physical body where
negative thoughts and feelings are present. This causes negative energy to
break apart and fell away. In so doing, Reiki clears, straightens and heals
energy pathways, allowing the life force to flow in a normal and healthy way.
Self Treatment and Healing Others:
Reiki
is essentially a powerful self healing method. However, after the initial 21
days of practice on one’s self, Reiki can be channeled to others where it works
as well as it does on one’s self.
What can be treated?
Reiki is both powerful and gentle. It its long
history of use, it has aided in healing virtually every known illness and injury,
including serious problems like multiple sclerosis, heart diseases, cancer,
skin problems, cuts, bruises, broken bones, headache, colds, flu, sore throat,
sunburn, fatigue, insomnia, impotence, poor memory, lack of confidence, asthma
etc. it is always beneficial and also works to improve the effectiveness of all
other types of therapy. Reiki will improve the results of other types of
medical treatment, acting to reduce negative side effects, shorten healing
time, reduce or eliminate pain, reduce stress and help create optimism.
The Reiki Practitioner’s energy never gets depleted.
Because it is a channeled healing process, the Reiki
practitioners energies never gets depleted. In fact, Reiki consciousness
considers both, the practitioner and the one receiving Reiki to be in need of
healing, so both get treated. Because of this, giving treatment always
increases one’s own energy and leaves one surrounded with a feeling of well
being.
Is Reiki a Religion?
While Reiki is a spiritual in nature, it is not
a religion. It has no dogma and there is nothing you must believe in, in order
to learn and use Reiki. In fact Reiki is not dependent on belief at all and
will work whether you believe in it or not.
Reiki has no harmful effect.
Because
Reiki is guided by the higher consciousness, it can never do harm. It always
knows what a person needs and will adjust itself to create the effect that is
appropriate for him. One never need
worry about whether to give Reiki or not. It is always helpful.
