Reiki is a form of
massage therapy. Reiki is an ancient healing art that
works with body, mind and spirit, and creates deep lasting
benefits. Reiki is a Universal Life Force Energy that
includes mind/body awareness and prevention techniques.
This energy has several basic effects: it brings about
deep relaxation, destroys energy blockages, detoxifies
the system, provides new vitality in the form of healing
universal life energy, and increases the vibrational
frequency of the body.
A Reiki healing is very simply performed. The practitioner
places his or her hands upon the person to be healed,
and then the energy begins flowing. The Reiki energy
is smart and knows where to go, and what to do once
it gets there, or else is being directed by a higher
intelligence. The energy manages its own flow to and
within the recipient. It draws through the healer exactly
that amount of energy, which the recipient needs. All
this happens without direct conscious intervention by
the healer. The healers' job is to get out of the way,
to keep the healing space open, and to watch/listen
for signs of what to do next.
It is believed that Reiki can relieve pain, boost the
immune system and relieves acute problems. This is believed
because physical manifestations of pain are often linked
to emotional, mental and spiritual states. Chronic illnesses
may take a series of treatments, depending on the specific
nature of the disease. Reiki goes beyond the symptoms
to treat the root cause of the disease. When we treat
only the symptoms, we do not always get to the true
basis of the illness. |
