What is Reiki - The Long Version
Reiki (pronounced Ray-Key) is a healing modality that was re-discovered by
Dr. Mikao Usui in the early 1900's. I say re-discovered because I believe that
energy work similar to Reiki has been used by humans for thousands of years.
Rei means universal or life and Ki means force or energy, so put together it
means Universal Life-Force Energy.
A Reiki practitioner will either lay their hands on you, hover them above your
body, or can even channel it from a remote distance to you. As the reiki
practitioner channels the Reiki energy through themselves to you, you may or
may not feel sensations. Including but not limited to, tingles, heat, cold or even
like a pair of "extra" hands are on you. As this is taking place, Reiki works as a
healing agent that heals your Spiritual body. It works closely with the chakra
system to heal on a Spiritual level which then in turns heals physical or
emotional ailments as well.
Reiki should never take the place of a licenced medical professional, but it
works wonderfully in conjunction with Western medicine. Reiki practitioners are
not doctors or nurses, well some of them are, but the majority of practicing reiki
people are every day human beings that are just getting connected with healing
energy.
It is my belief that we aren't just made up of one physical body, we are much
more elaborate then that. We have the physical body that everyone can feel.
Then we have the emotional body which everyone can sense. And last (but not
least) we have the spiritual body that is much harder to put your finger on or
substantiate.
Our spiritual bodies are made up of many, many energy fields called chakras.
There are 7 main chakras in your body that I will explain in further detail on
another page. Each chakra represents an area of our lives and when one of
them is out of balance then some symptoms of dis-ease occur. Reiki works
directly with those chakras to balance them out and heal our spiritual bodies.
It is thought by many Reiki practitioners that all ailments & dis-ease stem from
an imbalance in their chakra system and through frequent Reiki sessions you
can attain balance and keep it that way with continued Reiki practice.
(More on dis-ease to come, as I feel that is a very important word. As I really
understood what it meant, it changed me whole perspective on healing.)
Reiki does not conform to any doctrine or set of guidelines so it is not a
religion. In fact I have taught Reiki to people of many faiths. It is spiritual in
practice but does not conform to any religion at all. Some people have
discovered certain religious healing modalities but Reiki in its own is not
religious.
There are many forms of Reiki. All of which I feel are useful, but the first known
energy system actually defined and a name put to it was Usui Reiki. The way I
look at Reiki is, if it were a tree Usui Reiki would be the trunk of the tree and all
the other modalities would be the branches. Some of the modalities are
stemmed off a branch that came from Usui Reiki but they all came from Usui
reiki and mother earth in the beginning. Each form of Reiki that I have worked
with has a different energy "feel" to it and each one is helpful in healing and
helping others heal. If you are confused as to which reiki to explore more, email
me and I will help you out!
Once someone has been attuned to Reiki, it is common thought amongst Reiki
practitioners that we receive a Reiki guide. Our guides and Angels are spiritual
bodies that are on an ethreic level that assist us with different things and on our
paths. Sometimes during a Reiki session or attunement, the clients guides will
appear and also assist with the session.
So now I hope that you have a little bit of an idea about what Reiki is. Like I said
as I grow this page will also. I will update it again soon and include some
definitions of the words I have used here as well.
