| What Is Reiki? |
Reiki means Universal
Life Force Energy in Japanese. It is an ancient form of
hands-on healing, where the Reiki healer’s hands are held over specific points on the
body for the length of the treatment. It is the technique for the transference of healing
energy from a giver to a receiver. We all have this life force energy flowing through our
bodies, but when this energy becomes depleted, or there are blockages, this can eventually
result in illness.
A Reiki practitioner will act as a channel for the Reiki energy, helping energy blockages
to be dispersed, increase energy flow, and also balance the body’s energy centres
(chakras). The human body is very clever at healing itself. If it is in balance, with a
high energy level through Reiki, then the body can begin to heal itself naturally.
It is a lovely, gentle, non-invasive therapy, and is totally safe. It is gentle enough to
be used during pregnancy, being relaxing for the unborn baby, and can be used on children
and animals. It can also be used to complement other therapies, increasing their
effectiveness. The client may feel heat, or cold, or tingling sensations, or sometimes see
colours. A treatment will last for around an hour, and the client remains fully clothed,
either lying on a couch, or seated.
Reiki will always be used by the body where it is needed. It can be effective in the
treatment of emotional problems, stress, M.E., recurring niggling colds and other
infections. It is a useful tool in the management of pain relief, such a period pains and
headaches, and also after surgery or chemotherapy, for example, and it helps the body to
bounce back from the stress of taking medicinal drugs.
Sometimes energy blocks can be present in the body, such as after a shock, an accident or
a fall, or after a whiplash injury, and Reiki will gently release them.
Anyone feeling the demands and pressures of modern life, and who wants to achieve inner
harmony, can benefit from regular treatments. It strengthens the immune system, and makes
you more energised.
Making Reiki part of your life can bring you inner peace, and an increased sense of
general well-being.
Reiki for Emotional Healing
When negative emotions are suppressed, particularly after a prolonged period, this uses up
your life-force energy, and you will eventually feel lethargic, and detached from any
positive emotions, almost “switched off” from everyday life. Anyone who has ever
suffered a bout of depression will be able to relate to this.
Having regular Reiki treatments at this time will replenish your life force energy, and
help to re-balance your energy centres (chakras), helping you to release any anger, pain,
fear, sadness or guilt which you have been trying to bottle up.
The releasing of these negative energies will eventually help you to recognise and relate
to how they developed, and so ultimately deal with them on a conscious level..
Reiki can help you work through the bereavement process, as suppressed emotions can be
gently brought to the surface.
