Reiki (pronounced Ray-Key) is a natural form of energy healing, using varying frequencies of energy to heal at all levels physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. Energy is channelled by the practitioner and directed through the hands to wherever it is needed. What we term today as Reiki was traditionally known as 'The Usui System of Natural Healing', discovered by Dr Mikao Usui in the 1900s it is used today to encompass a whole range of energy healing systems. Developed by Dr Usui after his enlightenment on Mount Kurama, Reiki has spread throughout the world as a respected form of healing used by many millions of people, and many hospitals and clinics.
Reiki (pronounced Ray-Key) is a natural healing system that uses Universal energy to heal. The energy can work on any level: Reiki is a Japanese term actually consisting of two words with varying interpretations: |
 |
Rei- Universal energy outside all living things, the highest spiritual consciousness, God's highest power, has a frequency of 7,200 cps or higher.
Ki- Life force energy, inside all living things, surrounds all living things, lower frequency than Rei energy. Ki as believed in many Eastern traditions needs to flow freely throughout the body. If we have an emotional trauma or a physical illness we acquire a blockage, which disturbs the path of the energy through our bodies and we develop an illness. The healthier someone is the more Ki they will have flowing through their body.
Reiki works to heal the energy blockages in the body and restore the body back to health, along with healing emotional traumas and basically balancing the mind, body and soul. Reiki can be used on any condition and is also a path to spiritual enlightenment if you choose to develop yourself in that way.
How Does Reiki Work?
Reiki is simple in its theory and in its practice, yet it is limitless in its potential. The energy used in Reiki is made up of Universe energy and Ki energy. Reiki symbols are used to allow varying frequencies of energy to be applied.
Reiki can be used either as a passive or an active form of healing.
Passive healing
When used passively, the Reiki practitioner acts purely as a channel for the energy, allowing the energy to be channelled with no input into the frequency of the energy. The idea of this is to allow the body to heal itself slowly and balance the body over a period of time. This form of passive healing does not treat specific conditions. If you would just like some relaxation then it is fine but it is not using Reiki in the most effective way.
Active healing
When used actively, the Reiki practitioner uses intention and visualization to direct the frequency and effect of the energy to work directly on the condition being treated. This is the method I use as a healer, and the method I teach on my courses. It allows me to treat conditions more effectively because I deal with what the immediate issues are, whether they are emotional or physical and work on those directly. I work on healing the other problems once the ones of immediate importance are dealt with.
Reiki healing can be used to treat all ailments, however difficult and severe some may seem. The result may not always be what is wanted, but is always what is needed.
