What is Reiki?

Reiki is an ancient art of healing. It is often referred to as a Zen art of hands on holistic healing, where the healer is a channel for the Divine Universal Life Force Energy.

​

Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive, hands-on energy transfer. The source of this energy is ultimately from The Universal Divine Force (what ever that is in your life). Therefore Reiki practitioners are simply conduits for the Divine energy. Delivery of the energy is standardized and the Reiki practitioner does not need to know anatomical details for where it is needed. It can help, but it's not required. A Channel simply follows a common procedure of delivery and the energy does the rest. Think of it this way, the Reiki channel connects to the Divine source of healing energy and acts as the extension cord to where that energy needs to go. The energy itself is ultimate energy of the Divine, that knows all, is all, and affects all issues that need to be addressed. It does not need to be interpreted by the channel for the recipient. It doesn't need to be enhanced, altered or promoted in any other fashion. It is by its very nature, Divine energy.

 

Then why do you need a Reiki channel?
As with all things on a spiritual level there's choice and free will. We have a choice to ask for Divine healing or not. We have the free will to do so. You can sit down and ask the Divine in your life to heal your body and give yourself a healing treatment. No problem to it, go for it. It is something you can do. On a subconscious level, some people have doubts, fears, or apprehension that can hinder their ability to heal themselves. They can ask for Divine healing, but their subconsciousness can block their free will to let it happen. This is where a healer can help to step in and channel the energy that's needed.

 

The Divine energy itself, vitalizes the cells of the body receiving treatment. By the end of a session, all the systems in the body (blood supply, nerves, organs, etc.) are operating in a stronger, more cohesive way. Reiki works whether or not the recipient believes in this energy or the possibility of its existence. It may not be as effective, it may not be utilized in the manner in which the channel or the clients family think it's needed. Divine energy knows better than we do what needs to be done and it will do it regardless.

 

Reiki can be used effectively on long standing issues, short term ailments and even on accidents that just happened (ie: cuts, burns, bruises, etc.). But Reiki has never been a method of alternative healing that stands alone to provide relief or as a cure for physical illness. It has always been used in conjunction with medical practice and treatments as a method to enhance the body, mind and spirit's ability to heal.

 

The magic of Reiki is that it affects the underlying issues behind an illness. Regardless of whither or not we know (as the healer or the receiver) what that issue is. Reiki pulls the energy up from within the body to bring it to the surface where it can be dealt with and changed. Understanding the ailment message then becomes part of the healing process. But only when the recipient wants to address it and break the underlying thought pattern to allow the healing to take place. Reiki can help you see it, but you still have to want to deal with it.

 

Practitioners can also give themselves a Reiki treatment. Delivery to a client or to the self is simple, straight forward and effective. A practitioner actually increases their own vitality when they perform a session on a client. They are the pipeline for this energy and some of this energy will be assimilated by the provider, if for no other reason than as support during the treatment session. Reiki can also be used on animals, plants, Mother Earth, and even situations in your life. Healing your checkbook for instance when your in financial need is a practice that many channels have reported success with. I've used it on my car to get me to the next gas station. It can be used at any time and for any situation in your life.

 

Reiki is not a quick fix. But it is a method to aid in the healing of various issues and health concerns. Especially when utilized as a support for mainstream healing methods.
