Reiki is an ancient healing practice that originated in Tibet. This practice has been done for almost 3000 years. The Japanese have used it for relaxation and stress reduction.
It is called a healing practice because it does in fact promote the healing process. This healing takes place through the Chi. Chi is the Japanese word for life force. Reiki itself is composed of two Japanese words, Rei which means God wisdom or higher power, and Ki which means life force energy. Together Reiki is the spiritually guided life force, and that surrounds all of us.
We can all agree on the fact that we are all made up of energy. Everything in the world is made up of energy. Energy can not be created or destroyed; it can be used and manipulated for our benefit though. This is the idea behind this ancient healing.
Reiki uses the laying of hands to manipulate the life force and re-energize, restore and heal the body. The life force is what keeps us alive, if that life force becomes low, as energy can at times, the a person is more likely to become ill or stressed. Likewise if our life force energy is high we are more likely to be healthy and also happy.
To learn this practice, one must go to a Reiki Master. Teaching is done through an attunement session, this is different then the way other healing techniques are taught. This attunement process basically opens up the chakras that each and every person has. This is the crown, the heart and the palms and thereby creates an intimate link between you and the Reiki source. This is a very powerful and moving experience as the energies move through you.
Most people that have had an attunement report that they experience what we would call mystical experiences where personal messages, visions of past lives and other healing takes place. You may notice that your psychic sensitivity is heightened as well making you more intuitive then you were before. Once you have had an attunement session, it lasts forever. While many may require additional treatments depending on their ailments for many others one session has been enough.
With push towards using more natural ways of healing, Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method to use. It will remove all toxins from the body so that you can heal, reduce your risk of developing more health issues and feel better. It is used for not only physical healing, but spiritual healing as well.
Reiki is also a wonderful tool for self improvement. One of the few healing methods in the world that is known to help almost every illness and malady there is. There is an added benefit of having many positive side effects from the treatment. Those side effects include relaxation, a sense of security and feelings of peace and well-being.
This practice can also safely be used in conjunction with all other medical treatments. Using Reiki does not mean that you need to get the go ahead from your family doctor, it will not interfere with what you are currently doing. The goal is to get rid of any side effects you are experiencing and encourage your body to heal properly and naturally. Many people who have undergone such treatments have reported amazing results.
