What is Reiki?
Reiki is a gentle, yet powerful, hands on healing technique through a special attunement process. This creates an open channel for universal life energy to flow through the Reiki healer to the receiver. Reiki helps to harmonize body, mind and spirit. Ki is the non-physical energy that brings life to all living things. We are alive because life force is flowing through us. Life force flows within the physical body through pathways called chakras, meridians and nadis. It also flows around us in a field of energy called the aura. Life force nourishes the organs and cells of the body, supporting them in their vital functions. When this flow of life force is disrupted, it causes diminished function in one or more of the organs and tissues of the physical body. The life force is responsive to thoughts and feelings. It becomes disrupted when we accept, either consciously or unconsciously, negative thoughts or feelings about ourselves. These negative thoughts and feelings attach themselves to the energy field (psychic debris) and cause a disruption in the flow of life force. This diminishes the vital function of the organs and cells of the physical body. 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 the negative thoughts and feelings are attached. This causes the negative energy (psychic debris) to break apart and fall away. In so doing, Reiki clears, straightens and heals the energy pathways, thus allowing the life force to flow in a healthy and natural way. Reiki is a tool for healing, Reiki is guided by a Higher Intelligence it works holistically, so its effects are not limited to the physical body but also affects the mind, emotions and spirit, healing, harmonizing and balancing the whole, as in the following: PhysicalReiki supports and accelerates the bodys own natural ability to heal itself, helping to alleviate pain and relieve other symptoms while cleansing the body of poisons and toxins. Reiki balances and harmonizes the whole energy body, promoting a sense of wholeness, as state of positive wellness and an overall feeling of well-being. It also works with a persons physical consciousness, or body wisdom, to help them develop a greater awareness of the bodys real needs, for example the right nutrition, exercise and sleep pattern.
MentalReiki flows into all levels of a persons thinking processes, allowing them to let go of negative thoughts, concepts and attitudes, and to replace them with positivity, peace and serenity. This leads to a state of deep relaxation, with the consequent release of stress and tension. Reiki works with the energy field, especially the brow chakra (third eye) to enhance intuitive abilities, and it also works with all levels of a persons consciousness to encourage them to pursue their personal potential through greater insight and self-awareness. EmotionalReiki flows into all levels of a persons emotional energythose of which they are aware, and those they keep hiddento encourage them to examine their emotional responses to people and situations, allowing them to let go of negative emotions such as anger or jealousy, and promoting the qualities of living, caring, sharing, trusting and good will. It can also help people to channel emotional energy into creativity. SpiritualReiki flows into a persons whole energy body, soul and spirit, to help them to accept and love their whole self. It fosters a non-judgmental approach to humankind, allowing them to accept every person as a soul energy on its own spiritual path, not just as a human being with all the attendant failings and frailties. It promotes the qualities of love, compassion, understanding and acceptance, and encourages a person on their personal path towards spiritual development and connectedness with the Divine.
