Our Reiki Master has now moved to Turkey but in time we hope to visit him there and for at least one of us to become a Reiki Master.

 

Reiki is an invisible subtle energy. The name ‘Reiki’ is a Japanese word which can be translated to mean ‘Universal Life Energy’. What we know as Reiki comes from ancient Sanskrit texts which were discovered and developed by Dr Mikao Usui during the late 1800s in Japan. Eastern medicine recognises and works with energy or ‘life-force’ and similarly, Reiki used this energy to stimulate the body in its own healing process, increasing the energy flow throughout the whole body.

Reiki energy is used to facilitate and promote the body’s natural regenerative processes. It is usually transferred with the practitioner’s hands resting gently on the body. Clothes are not removed as energy will pass easily through them. The treatment is given with the patient lying down in a relaxed environment and lasts about half an hour.

A recipient may feel a wide range of sensations such as gentle tingling, heat, cold, or in fact feel nothing at all. At times there may be a release of emotion as part of the re-balancing process, and this is considered healthy.

A treatment is perfectly safe and can be used alongside conventional medical treatments. It can never do harm as the practitioner merely acts as a channel for the energy, which will act where it is needed and the recipient will take only what is required.

Reiki energy relaxes and de-stresses and can be used on people, animals and plants.

The ability to channel Reiki cannot be learned from a book. A student has to go through a special initiation performed by a Reiki Master to ‘attune’ them to the Reiki energy.

Anyone can be attuned to Reiki energy regardless of their spiritual or religious beliefs. Additional stages of attunements and the use of ‘symbols’ enhances the ability to utilise the Reiki energy in different ways.

A few Things to Know About Reiki
Reiki does not heal –- It channels the energy to allow the person’s body to heal itself.

Reiki Treatments should never given away –- The gift of Reiki should not be demeaned by being given away. Some exchange should take place to put value on the practitioner’s time and energy.

Reiki can occasionally be an uncomfortable experience –- There can be physical or mental problems surfacing during treatment. The body needs to resolve these before harmony can be achieved.

It may appear that nothing has happened, that the problem is still there –- The energy might be shifting things on a deeper level or healing something unexpected. The priorities of the subconscious mind are sometimes different to the conscious mind. The higher self will have its own agenda and will direct the energy to where it is needed most. Clearing up the symptoms that are worrying your conscious self might come fairly low down this list of priorities.
Sometimes an old ailment might re-appear or a present one initially seem to get worse. This is just the body starting the healing process. We often de-sensitise and bury problems, but they still exist somewhere. Reiki helps to release them and kick start the bodies own healing process.

Anyone familiar with Yoga or other Eastern Beliefs will have heard of the chakras, and the life force or chi. The Chakras are the ‘energy centres’ and correspond to the major endocrine glands and nerve ganglions. The energy is distributed around the body through the nerve sheaths radiating from these points.
There are 7 major Chakras.
The Crown Chakra
The Third eye or Brow Chakra
The Throat Chakra
The Heart Chakra
The Solar Plexus Chakra
The Sacral Chakra
The Root or Base Chakra

These Chakras influence different aspects of the body’s wellbeing and all need to be balanced and working in harmony to have a healthy happy body.
