 Reiki is an ancient form of healing re-discovered by Japanese
Dr Mikao Usui in the late 1800s and brought to the west after 1937. The technique is very modest. Only the laying of hands on the body or hands just above the body is needed to have a profound effect. In the western lifestyle today compassionate touch is a rare connection between people but is the first most natural method of communication. A mother holds and cuddles her baby with loving hands to soothe and connect. It is the energy and feeling of love and safety that is amplified by Reiki. As a method of healing, Reiki opens and balances the natural channels of energy in the body restoring health, well being and a greater self awareness.
Reiki is said to be an intelligent energy, that is, it flows where it is needed most for the benefit of the whole being. ‘Rei’ means universal life force. ‘Ki’ means energy. It is the universal life force energy that flows through everything. As energy, the effects can be felt in many different ways on many levels. This can be subtle or profound.
Reiki will reach blockages stored in all the energetic layers of your body. These layers are associated with the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual parts of you.
The role of the healer is to tune in and remain an open channel to allow Reiki to flow like music bringing harmony and balance.
Generally, blocks are manifested in the finer energy layer of the body before becoming a physical problem. Reiki recognises a block and attracts energy to the source. As the block is released in the finer levels, it triggers a chain reaction that eventually manifests on the physical level.
A person receiving Reiki for a sore shoulder may experience a relaxing of tension and complete physical healing, often noticing an awareness of something unexplainable but wonderful or an insight to a problem from the past. This can be achieved from 1 to 4 sessions.
It is recommended for the more persistent issues to have from 4-6 sessions.
The effects of Reiki depend on your attitude and intention. Healing happens more effectively when you are focused and positive. The benefit of Reiki is to relax the tensions and inhibitions of your blockages enabling your body do its own natural healing.
