| Reiki is a spiritual discipline which has applications for a whole variety of purposes and can be of great benefit to anyone who uses it throughout their daily life. On the surface Reiki appears to be a system of healing which can be used on either yourself or on others to cure physical. emotional, mental and spiritual diseases and problems. However Reiki is actually far more than just that. Reiki healing is a form of laying on of hands. The healer will, over the period of 60 to 90 minutes, move through a series of around 20 hand positions on the patient and dwell for a few minutes in each one. During this period, Reiki energy will be transferred through the healer to the patient. This energy will be used by the patient's body to help with his or her problems. The patient may be considered as a car with a flat battery which won't start. The healer can be thought of as the jump leads which connect the patient to a source of unlimited energy which can be used to get the patient up and running again. Reiki treatments are very convenient for the patient. There is no need to remove any clothing and treatments can be given with the patient either sitting up in a chair or preferably, lying down. The treatment can work through bandages or plaster casts. A Reiki treatment is very pleasurable and is accompanied by feelings of deep relaxation and well being. The patient will often feel a sensation of warmth flowing into their body although at times this may manifest itself as a cold or a tingling feeling. Frequently, after a treatment, patients feel as if they have had several hours of very satisfying sleep and feel ready for anything. Healing is not a replacement for the NHS, but a complimentary practice which can tackle patients problems with an alternative approach which in many situations can be very much in the patients interest. Reiki does not limit itself purely to addressing the patients symptoms, but treats the whole person, promoting wellness rather than just curing illness. You do not have to be ill to benefit from a treatment. The Reiki practitioner does not actually heal anybody. The healer is just a channel through which the Reiki energy can flow from the Source of all Light to the person needing healing. The Reiki practitioner allows themselves to be used as a channel. The person being healed controls the healing process by drawing down the energy that they require in order to meet their needs. The healer will place their hands on various parts of the body, but the Reiki energy will decide where it is needed. The Reiki energy will direct the healer where to place their hands in order to meet the needs of the person to be healed. Once within the body or aura of the person being healed, the energy is able to move around and to go on helping that person for long after the healing session has finished. There is no need to set out to learn a vast amount of information to progress in Reiki. Reiki is an intelligent energy. Reiki will reveal all that is necessary to its students and practitioners at the right time for them to learn it. Reiki will give you all that you need to progress when it is right for you to progress. The Reiki workshop where students are attuned and taught Reiki, whether it be Level I, Level II or Level III is just the start on the path. The student may wish to move quickly or slowly or maybe not to move at all for the time being. All three are correct for that student at that time. When the time comes to apply Reiki in a new way, to learn more of the energy, or to move further along one’s own spiritual path, Reiki will let you know and give you all that you need at that time. People are not drawn to Reiki just to become healers. Reiki is a spiritual path that is open to all who wish to follow it. By using the Reiki energy to heal one’s self, the Reiki student is constantly deepening his relationship with the energy and increasingly opening to it’s guidance in all things. People do not just decide to study Reiki. Reiki draws people to it at the correct time for that person. Using Reiki energy can change you in many ways. You will become more self confident and more positive in all that you do. You will increasingly find yourself looking at people and events from a different perspective than you did before. Reiki is a continuing process which will enable you to continue growing spiritually, mentally and emotionally throughout the rest of your life. As time progresses you will find that you are able to stand back from events and take a much wider and more detached view of the whole. Reiki is much more than just a system of healing. |
