Healing With Reiki

Reiki is a Japanese holistic healing technique designed to heal the body by using energy. Reiki masters claim that anyone can use this healing technique as long as they are attuned to the universal life force. To become attuned to this spiritual energy, people need to go through a Reiki ceremony. This ceremony can only be perform by Reiki masters. During the attunement process, Reiki masters will introduce their students to the symbols of Reiki and attune their energy field to the universal energy of life. Once this ceremony is over, the students can start practicing Reiki to strengthen their energy healing skills.

Reiki practitioners heal their patients by placing their hands near specific areas of their patients’ body. The belief is that the universal energy of life will flow down their arms and out their hands to heal their patients. Reiki practitioners believe that this healing energy is intelligent; therefore, it will know what to do when it is inside their patients. The idea of energy being intelligent is not beyond reason. According to quantum physicists, at the quantum level (beyond the sub-atomic level) of reality particles react to one another. This proves that intelligence does exist at the subatomic level. Even better, they found out that intelligence increases as they dig deeper into these realms. Because these particles are nothing more than just energy, it is the energy that has intelligence. It is important to know that it is not the Reiki practitioner that is doing the healing but the universal energy of life. The Reiki practitioner is acting only as a medium to transfer this energy.

Reiki heals the body in a holistic way because it heals the body at the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual levels. During a Reiki session, the patient is usually lied down wearing comfortable clothing. Each time the Reiki practitioner transfer energy, his/her hands will usually stay still for a few minutes before moving to the next position. A Reiki session can last anywhere from 30 minutes to 90 minutes. People who had been through a Reiki session reported that they felt warmth or tingling in the area being healed.
