HOW REIKI HEALS

Reik i ( ray-key) i s a mult i - faceted sp i r i tua l energy


tha t can
be used to help us with meditation practices, spiritual
growth, healing relationships, manifestation of goals, and
activating the Divine healing power within all living
beings. Reiki is a tool to help us develop “wellness
consciousness” and also to understand, on an experiential
level, what it t ru lymeans to be “One wi th a l l Crea t i on” .

Reiki is usually considered to be a “hands-on healing


technique”. This is one application, but it is so much
more. Mikao Usui discovered this healing art in Japan in
the late 1800s. The Japanese Kanji characters that
represent the word Reiki can be translated to mean; Rei =
Spiritually guided or wisdom of God and Ki = Life force
energy.

As we know, everyth ing in our Universe i s energy. The re


are many forms of healing energy and Reiki is one of
many healing rays. Reiki is unique in that it is truly
guided by the Divine heart and the Divine mind. This
energy is infinitely wise and knows precisely what we
need to relax, release stress, and activate the healing
power within.

All forms of healing whether traditional, complementary


or alternative have an impact on the human subtle energy
system. Each method also carries a unique vibrational
frequency and consequently will create different effects.
A beautiful characteristic of Reiki is that it has the ability
to harmonize energies that may normally be incompatible
and can create the best poss ib le outcome. Therefore Reik i
enhances anything we do.

Many people are practicing techniques to improve their


health such as meditation, exercise and improved diet. As
this is done, a deeper awareness often develops concerning
the flow of subtle energies in and around the body and the
connection between these subtle energies and one's health.
This developing awareness validates the ancient idea that
strong life force energy contributes to good health.
Conversely a diminished supply of life force energy can
contribute to illness. The existence of life force energy,
and the necessity for it to flow freely in and around one's
body to maintain health, has been studied and
acknowledged by health care practitioners and scientists.

Our body is composed not only of physical elements such


as muscles, bones, nerves, arteries, organs, glands, etc.; it
also has a subtle energy system through which life force
energy flows. This subtle energy system is composed of
energy 'bodies' which surround our physical body and
assist us in processing our thoughts and emotions.

The energy bodies have energy centers called chakras,


which work somewhat like valves that allow life force to
circulate through the physical, mental, emotional and
spiritual bodies. We also have energy meridians and
nadas. These are like rivers, or streams, which carry our
life force energy throughout our physical body, to nourish
us and assist in balancing our body’s systems and
functions.

Our physical body is alive because of the 'life force


energy ' that i s f lowing though . i tI f our l i f e f o rce i s l ow or
blocked, we are more likely to become ill, but if it is high
and free flowing, we more easily maintain health and a
feeling of well-being. One thing that disrupts and weakens
the flow of life force energy is stress. Stress is often
caused by conflicting thoughts and feelings that get lodged
in one's subtle energy system. These include fear, worry,
doubt, anger, anxiety, etc. Medical research has
determined that continual stress can block the body's
natural ability to repair, regenerate and protect itself.

The American Institute of Stress estimates that 75%-95%


of all visits to doctors are the results of reaction to stress.
The effects of unreleased stress range from minor aches to
major health concerns, such as heart disease, digestive
disorders, respiratory and skin problems.

Stress can also activate our fears and cause our life force
energy to diminish. When this happens we weaken our
ability to respond to fear appropriately and to transform it.

Reiki is a technique that aids the body in releasing stress


and tension by creating deep relaxation. Because of this,
Reiki promotes healing and health.

The Reiki system is comprised of techniques for


transmitting this subtle energy to yourself and others
through the hands, eyes or chakras into the human subtle
energy system. Reiki restores energy balance and vitality
by relieving the physical and emotional effects of
unreleased stress. It gently and effectively opens blocked
meridians, nadas and chakras, and clears the energy
bodies, leaving one feeling relaxed and at peace.

Reik i i s t ru ly “L imit less Love”.


The re i s noth ing tha t
Divine Love cannot heal, and Reiki is a form of Divine
Love that can be learned by anyone and used to help
themselves, others and the planet.

A treatment feels like warm, gentle sunshine, which flows


through you, surrounds you and brings comfort. Reiki
treats the person’s body, emotions, mind and spirit as a
whole. Reiki is powerful, yet wonderfully gentle and
nurturing. During a treatment, the recipient remains fully
clothed. Reiki supports any medical, or supplemental
healing methods a client may be using and is of growing
interest to chiropractors, medical doctors, physiotherapists,
psychotherapists, psychologists and hypnotherapists.

Anyone can learn to tap into an unlimited supply of 'life


force energy' to improve health and enhance the quality of
life by learning Reiki, or by receiving treatments from a
Reiki Practitioner or Master.
