      How effective is Reiki?

      APRIL 17, 2015

      People come to Reiki sessions for a variety of reasons. Some people come with a strong belief in the practice and no doubt in their minds. However, others arrive wondering why they’re there and how effective Reiki will be for their particular ailment. For those who doubt the practice, I say to them that people find Reiki very relaxing. When the body is relaxed it heals faster. When the mind is relaxed, it thinks more clearly and creatively. When the spirit is relaxed, it makes stronger connections to others.

      If you’re looking for quantifiable evidence about the efficacy of Reiki, I don’t have that information. However, I do have years of experience in practicing this hands-on healing modality on myself and others. From my experience as both a recipient and a practitioner, I know Reiki works. To demonstrate this, I’ll share some anecdotal evidence through the stories below. (All names have been changed to maintain anonymity.)

      —————–

      Carole, a breast cancer patient, arrived for a Reiki session with a cold. She had never had Reiki before and was quite distressed because she thought the severity of her cold was great enough that her mastectomy may have to be rescheduled. She indicated that her family thought she was crazy to try Reiki and she was quite doubtful too. I told her that it was fine to be doubtful and that the state of relaxation that would be brought about by the Reiki is very healing. She settled into the session and left the office feeling relaxed.

      A few weeks later Carole contacted me for another session. When she arrived at my office she reported that the surgery had gone well and according to schedule. She said, You cured my cold!* She went on to report that her medical team was in awe with the minimal amount of pain medication that she needed post-surgery. She also went home one day earlier than had been scheduled and had found out that no additional chemotherapy was needed at this time. Carole credited all these positive outcomes to Reiki.

      —————–

      Norma, a working mom, had heard about Reiki from a friend. She was seeking relief for a variety of symptoms including anxiety and fibromyalgia that caused acute pain in her hands and jaw. She regularly saw her doctor who helped to manage her symptoms and she was seeking to avoid surgery for a side effect from the fibromyalgia. In addition to conventional medicine, Norma also went for massage therapy and acupuncture. She saw Reiki as complementary with all the other things she was using to manage her health.

      When I asked her what she wanted most from the session, she indicated that she wanted to be calm and peaceful. She was distressed by the amount of anxiety she experienced at work and how impatient she was with her husband and daughter. After the session, Norma reported feeling very relaxed. Two weeks later she came back for another session and said that the relaxation from the Reiki lasted for a full week. Over the next few months, Norma came for a one-hour Reiki session every other week. She said that the Reiki kept her steady and calm and her doctor’s most recent recommendation was that surgery was not required at this time.

      —————–

      I hope that you find these ancedotes helpful in understanding the effectiveness and application of Reiki.

      * Please note: I don’t cure colds, but the Reiki provided a pathway for Carole’s body to heal her cold.

      What does it mean to be Reiki?

      April 10, 2015

      I was so thrilled to learn yesterday that I’ve reached over 1,000 followers on Twitter. I know for some people this is a small number of followers, but for me, this is a real milestone. At the beginning of the year, I thought I would reach this benchmark mid-year at the earliest. So not only did I achieve the goal, but I did so ahead of schedule! The project manager in me loves this!

      If you follow me on Twitter, you know my handle is u_r_reiki. I chose this because some of the others which I wanted were already taken and it was based on a custom license plate that I was considering at the time. It also encompasses for me one of the important aspects of my Reiki practice.

      So, what does it mean to be Reiki? For me, it means that you are universal life-force energy. You are love and light. It also means that you are not your body, thoughts, or emotions — your essence is something much larger. When we practice Reiki, either through self-practice, receiving or offering a treatment, or teaching, we have the opportunity to experience our essence. When we do this we notice, that we are, and are part of, something much larger than our embodied, temporal selves.

      This knowledge provides the Reiki practitioner with a certain existential freedom that also carries a moral responsibility to others, ourselves, and the universe. We know that we are love and light. With this information we are informed about how to act and the best choices to make in our lives. We know that acting from a place of love and light is the right path at all times. This doesn’t mean being a doormat, but it does mean that we test our actions against the rule of love. Is this a loving act? Does it promote the highest good for those involved?

      The intellectual and intuitive knowing of our essence as being more than just bodies and minds, frees us to live an authentic and loving life. It frees us from the fear of death and allows for greater connection to each other here in our earthly existence.

      So next time you are faced with the question, Who am I? please know in your heart and mind that you are Reiki. You are love and light.

      Guest blog post by Jonathan Berens

      March 27, 2015

      This is a post by Jonathan Berens, LMT, who is one of my students. He found out about my classes through the Oak Park River Forest Reiki Meetup. I asked him to share his experiences as a man practicing Reiki.

      1. What got you interested in Reiki? What drew you into it?

      "After graduating from massage school, I felt empty. Even though I did very well and proved to myself that I had accomplished a lot, including working full time while attending school, I still felt empty and lost. The school taught and practiced only the western aspect of massage and focused a lot on techniques, including Swedish massage, sports massage, myofascial release, and trigger point therapy to name a few. There was no feeling part. Nothing was taught about energy, energy of the body, or how to learn to work with energy that is within and all around the body of all living things.

      Practicing massage therapy I felt lost. So I decided to immerse myself in many different approaches including muscle energy techniques. The traditional, western massage techniques worked to make the client feel better but nothing lasted. In addition, nothing explained what I was feeling while performing this work. Why did I often feel overwhelmed by people? What was happening that I could feel their pain, discomfort, and felt empathy that was, at times, overwhelming and hard to understand?

      2. What is your Reiki practice like now as a level 2 practitioner?

      "I practice Reiki daily — offering it to people and their pets. I also practice it on my cats, either directly or through distance Reiki. I use distance Reiki when I am away and I send good health to my cats. Reiki has meshed well with my practice of myofascial release (MFR). MFR encompasses spiritual, physical, and energetic aspects. The subtle energy work of MFR has helped me understand and develop my own intuition and abilities to feel and see energy fields. This has helped immensely with Reiki and its practice and vice versa.
