| What Is Reiki? From my perspective, Reiki is just what the name of my Reiki Level I workshop implies…it is Love. Reiki is an amazing complimentary healing modality that works effectively with other forms of energy healing as well as Western and Traditional medicine. How exactly does Reiki physically work? Well, Reiki flows through the practitioner via energy channels that have been opened and cleared during the attunement process. The attunement process facilitates the unobstructed movement of Reiki energy through the provider much like tuning your radio to a specific frequency brings in a clear signal. Think of it like this, the practitioner is like a living electric cable and the Reiki is like the current that flows through the cable to its intended destination. The Reiki Healer is simply a very specialized form of cable used to channel a very powerful and amazingly intelligent energy. An energy that has the ability to bring wonderful healing to all levels of your being...mind, body, and spirit. Not to mention, getting Reiki is like having a full massage without ever being touched if you do not wish to be. If you have never experienced the relaxation that a massage can bring...it is heaven! Reiki can provide this same and often an even deeper level of relaxation and peace, which in and of itself is extraordinarily healing to your entire being. It is understood that all physical and mental dis-ease have their root in stress and emotional imbalances. Reiki is an effective means of giving your body, mind, and spirit the energy and the ability to begin it's healing journey. Reiki is often called the Universal Life Force Energy, and this is accurate as far as it goes. All life is created of the same energy; it simply takes on different forms. Reiki is one form of the energy of creation, it is akin to the “Qi” in Qi Gong, the “Chi” in Tai Chi etc…but…while they are similar, they do not all behave the same way nor are they used in the same manner. Each form of Energy work, healing, therapy etc...can and do work effectively together or as stand alone modalities. Think of it this way, the energy of the Universe is everywhere all the time, in tsunamis and earthquakes, things that are not directed at us as “bad” but that we have no control over all the same. Reiki is like the grace part of that energy, the really good part that is a pure and simple gift of love. Reiki is the love that heals |
