Quick Intro about Reiki

[Blog Entry] So you want to learn about Reiki? Let me explain what I know about Reiki.   Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing.
Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use.  Reiki is capable of  facilitating the healing of anything because it works at a very fundamental level of reality.  Reiki accomplishes this by providing the recipient enough energy to step above (metaphorically) to see all that is and to have the courage to let go.  Reiki practitioners channel energy in a particular pattern to heal and harmonize.

Reiki energy has several basic effects: it brings about deep relaxation, destroys energy blockages, detoxifies the system, provides new vitality in the form of healing universal life energy, and increases the vibrational frequency of the body.

Reiki is a safe, gentle, non-invasive form of hands-on healing.  Reiki healers claim to channel Ki into “diseased” individuals for “rebalancing.  Reiki healers differ from acupuncturists in that they do not try to unblock a person’s Ki, but to channel the Ki of the universe so that the person heals.  Reiki is very popular among New Age spiritualists, who are very fond of   “attunements,” “harmonies,” and “balances.

Reiki will enrich your life and give you happiness and health on all levels.  Reiki is Universal life force energy, that which sustains life and promotes healing in all living things.  But you need to understand that while Reiki is not a religion, it is still important to live and act in a way that promotes harmony with others.

Since the word Reiki means Universal Life Force Energy, it (strictly speaking) refers to the energy and not the specific techniques taught by Reiki Masters.  However, as Reiki is the common name, and a fine name at that, this is the name we will use here.  The limits to Reiki seem to be in the recipients willingness to cast off old habits and patters, to accept change and to accept healing.  The other meaning for healing, used in the practice of Reiki as well as other related areas, is the return to greater wholeness.  Over time the healing of the world’s ills will be accomplished and, with Reiki in the hands of everyone, that day will come much more quickly.  (Please observe that Reiki should never be used instead of medical treatment, it should be used as a complement and a way to become and remain healthy.)

If you are interested in Reiki it is likely you have been guided on your healing journey, your journey of spiritual purpose to many places and many experiences in the past and now find yourself here, at this place, as you continue to further explore the possibilities for deeper healing and inner discovery.  Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use.  Mikao Usui, the founder of the Reiki system of natural healing, recommended that one practice certain simple ethical ideals to promote peace and harmony, which are nearly universal across all cultures.

So give Reiki a go, for sure it is a very interesting way of improving your life.
