RECEIVE REIKI

What is Reiki & how does it work?

It is best to begin by clarifying some terms. Let's start with '靈氣Reiki'. Reiki is actually two things that are often confused into being just a single thing. The first thing it is - is a type of energy. In Japanese cosmology, there are many kinds of energy. Reiki is the highest energy that us humans can access. Reiki is a mysterious energy that is present in all living things, including the cosmos. As a living being, us humans can use this energy for spiritual growth and healing. Most of us through the way we live our lives have simply forgotten that we have this ability. With the lack of use, we weaken our ability to use it efficiently, but the instinct remains. This is why we will immediately place our hands on an injury or blow on a child's skinned knee. It is a birthright.

The second 'Reiki', or more properly, '靈氣療法Reiki Ryoho' - is a treatment method the utilizes the reiki energy for healing and well-being. In the case of most modalities that use the word Reiki to describe themselves, this method originated in Japan. Usui sensei, the Founder, developed a system of techniques and teachings that when practiced can help the practitioner achieve enlightenment and health. A part of the system is the giving of reiki treatment to both ourselves and to others.

How does Reiki work in a treatment session?

To answer this, it is best to start with our thinking on how dis-ease in the body starts in the first place. Our body has within it, a natural healing and cleansing process. The cleansing process will collect toxins, germs and excessive hormones and then deposit them in areas that can break them down and remove them from our body. The body removes such toxins through our lymph system, waste processing system, sweat, tears and so on. If we do not take care of ourselves by having a poor diet, a lot of stress, sedentary lifestyle or poor quality of sleep those systems can get worn down and fail to operate effectively. Those toxins accumulate in the body and create issues such as inflammation, stiffness and pain.

During a reiki treatment session, the practitioner will place their hands either directly on or slightly over the recipient's body. Reiki energy is then channeled through the practitioner's body and out of their hand, into the recipient's body. Once the energy is in the recipient's body, their body will use the Reiki as a fuel of sorts to help break down the toxins and provide an energy boost to power the removal process.

What to expect during your treatment session

This can vary based on what type of treatment session you receive. For an in-person treatment session, you will come to the practitioner's treatment room and usually start with a brief discussion about what you are seeking a treatment for and maybe what other types of treatment you might have tried. You will then lay down, fully clothed on a treatment bed (often like a massage table). Depending on what you are having treated, you will lay on your back or on your front. The practitioner will then start your treatment, usually at the head and move towards the feet or the problem area.

For a distant reiki treatment session, you get to stay home and at an arranged time, you will sit or lay down comfortably. The practitioner will perform a process that is used to do the distant treatment based on information you provide to them. The effectiveness of the distant treatment is thought to be the same as an in-person treatment.
