subject: What Is Reiki? How Does It Work? [print this page] The Western medicine traditionally examines only the physical body of people. But what would be more to be analyzed? One answer might be: Why not take into account the thoughts, emotions and feelings, as they influence our health, even without being able to be seen.
Reiki is a Japanese word meaning "Universal Life Energy". Reiki is neither a religion nor a belief. It opens new avenues for learning and spiritual experience. To receive Reiki technique, the person must go through an initiation by a Reiki Master. This initiation is done by laying on hands in the shape of a shell, visualizing secret symbols secret entering the person's body.
In an introduction to the person receiving Reiki, is in a comfortable position with the spine straight to facilitate the absorption of energy. Usually during the sessions many Reiki masters prefer to remain silent in order to facilitate the connection with their masters, superior beings and other energy. The duration of an initiation may take from an hour to one and half hours, ranging from master to master.
After this initiation the person does not need to go through this process again to improve or recover their energy channels. The person goes through a great transformation, becoming differentiated from the others. This transformation remains throughout life.
Once you started, Reiki energy is then routed through the body in a step corresponding to that which is necessary for healing. The human body radiates heat and energy. This energy is the life force called "qi". What is the healing energy of the Cosmos ("ki" or "ch'I") which is directed by the practitioner's hands.
The meaning of the word "Ch'I" means "breath, wind, vital essence, active energy of the universe ..." "KI" or "ch'I" is also the life force of the Earth, planets, stars, the heavens and the energy source that affect the bodies with "KI" energy. The energy that comes out of the hands of the practitioner of Reiki is a transforming energy, bringing the "KI" of the earth and the heavens into the human body.
In the life energy of Reiki, the person who is being initialized gets all the energy channels opened and cleared of obstructions by the Reiki startup. In the practice of Reiki, there is no transmission of personal energy.
The amount of Reiki energy can not be manipulated by the therapist, it is determined by the recipient. Who determines the region is in disharmony is the receiver. Each region requires a different resonance energy.
I could continue to describe more and more reasons to join the Reiki method, but I would like you to them by yourself. Finally, I wish to emphasize that the individual treated by Reiki enjoys tension release and enhancement of its body skills.
It is true that Reiki does not replace the medicine, but it is also true that Reiki often does things that medicine itself can't do.
