| What is Reiki? |
Does Reiki work for everyone?
Reiki will only work to the degree that a person is willing to accept the energy. If a person chooses for whatever reason (consciously or
unconsciously) to not receive a treatment, no energy will be transferred. Reiki helps the body to heal itself but you need to take an active
role in your own healing process by accepting it. In that respect, the effect of a Reiki treatment can vary from so subtle it may not even be
felt to fairly profound. The more healthy you are in all respects, the more subtle the effects. Most of us feel some kind of discomfort in
our lives, either physically or emotionally and can benefit from a Reiki treatment.
Reiki is known as an intelligent energy that helps with the highest form of healing possible in a situation. Sometimes, the healing which
occurs may not match our own expectations. This is often where the spiritual aspect of Reiki is most obvious. For example, if a person's
death is imminent, being able to feel at peace with it is the highest form of healing possible. Even though we personally think a complete
cure is preferable. Reiki can only enhance whatever natural healing is actually taking place; it cannot be used to guarantee outcomes or
change fate.
What is a Reiki treatment?
A Reiki treatment is a "laying on of hands" which is an ancient technique common to many spiritual traditions. To ensure the safety of the
client as well as the practitioner, Reiki treatments should be administered only by a person fully trained and certified in Reiki techniques.
In a typical Reiki treatment, the client lies down (fully clothed) on a massage table. Energy is transferred to the client through the hands of
the practitioner. The practitioner moves through a sequence of standard hand positions. Treatment starts with the practitioner's hands
lightly resting on or above the client's head for 3-5 minutes, then slowly repeats this process systematically moving down the body to the
feet. A full treatment usually takes an hour or more dependant on the client's need. A Reiki treatment does not involve any pressure or
manipulation of tissues such as with a massage.
What is a "Distant" treatment?
Only a Reiki Level 2 practitioner or a Reiki Master can give a distant treatment. Reiki distant treatments are done through learned
advanced techniques. These techniques transfer Reiki energy to a distant time or location using specific Reiki symbols. There is
considerable evidence that Reiki is able to travel independent of time or distance to deliver healing. The only difference between Distant
and an In House session is the actual laying on of hands. The energy is the same and the benefits are obvious.
What is Reiki energy?
Reiki perfectly translated means Universal Life Force Energy. It is called by various names in different parts of the world. It is called
"Prana" in India, "Qi" or "Chi" in China, "Spirit" in Western traditions, etc. Each person's pattern of energy is as unique to them as their
fingerprints. These patterns are often described as personal vibrations. People have a general energy pattern that is different from the
patterns of other species. When used properly this energy can produce many beneficial effects. Including stimulating the body to heal
itself. When a person is attuned and taught Reiki, the chakras in their hands are opened and the Reiki symbols are place in their aura.
They are "activated" to be able to channel this Universal Life Force Energy.
What does Reiki energy feel like?
People feel Reiki in different ways. Most often during a treatment the energy is experienced as warmth. Others feel a mild tingle, as when
an arm or leg has "fallen asleep." Still others feel a throbbing or pulsing sensation. Some people don't feel any physical sensation but
describe mental or emotional changes. These can range from an extreme sense of calmness or peacefulness to a release of suppressed
emotion in the form of inexplicable crying. Most often though, the experience is relaxing, calming and always gentle.
How does a Reiki treatment work?
This question is best answered by drawing an analogy. Our natural energy level is affected by our state of health or disease. We can all
relate to the feelings of low energy or depletion that occur when we are trying to heal, whether from physical distress (illness or injury) or
from mental difficulties (such as grief or anxiety). A Reiki treatment under these circumstances can be compared to jump starting a car.
When the car's battery can't quite provide enough energy to start the car, we attach jumper cables from another battery to add more
energy. Reiki is a means of adding more energy to our "life force" battery to help "jump start" the healing process. This process does not
exhaust the practitioner, because the practitioner is trained to channel energy from the outside environment, not from his or her own
personal "battery." Practiced in this manner, the energy available is virtually limitless. The amount of energy transferred depends on the
client's ability to use it and willingness to receive it. When no more energy can be used, the transfer ceases to occur. A skillful practitioner
can usually sense when this happens.
