What is Reiki
Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that anyone can use for either self healing or healing of others. It is effective in virtually healing every known illness and malady and has shown many beneficial effects. It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promotes recovery. It is an incredible hidden power within us.
It was rediscovered by Dr Mikao Usui in the late 19th century to bring total healing of body, mind and soul at physical, emotional, auric, materialistic and spiritual levels going beyond the symptoms to treat the root cause of the disease.
Reiki is not a religion though it is spiritual by nature. We all are alive because life force flows within our physical body through different paths which known as chakras, meridians or nadis. This energy also flows around us and is also known as aura. The life force is also responsive to thoughts and feelings, which is disrupted when we consciously or unconsciously allow negative thoughts or feelings to enter our sub-conscious mind. These negative thoughts and feelings connect themselves to the energy field and cause a disorder in the flow of life force reducing the vital functioning of the organs and cells of the body. Reiki recognises the affected parts of the energy field and charges them with positive energy healing them all along.
The Attunement:
Reiki is not taught the way other healing techniques are taught, the energies are transferred to the student by the Reiki Master during the attunement process. In this process the crown, heart and palm chakras are opened and through them a special link is created between the student and the Reiki source. The whole process is a spiritual one attended by Reiki guides and other spiritual beings and is guided by Rei or God-consciousness. This attunement increases the psychic sensitivity. Once attuned, the reiki powers stays in a person for life, they never end nor wear off.. The attunement process itself starts the cleansing process of the physical body, mind and emotions. Reiki has its own intelligence to flow to the affected area and it is not necessary for the practitioner to direct it. It communicates with the client’s higher-self and uses the information for healing. Reiki never causes any harm.
