Reiki, A Healing Touch
Reiki, pronounced (Ray-Key) is a hands on healing art which involves the channeling of energy through the hands for the purpose of healing the body, mind, spirit and emotions. It is not a religion or a creed. It is simply a healing energy that transforms and uplifts all who come in contact with it. It allows the practitioner, through attunement, to connect to and channel the Reiki Ray of Spiritual Consciousness and Unconditional Love.
The Japanese meaning of Rei is universal with the focus on the soul and spiritual dimensions. Ki means vital life force energy (which flows through all living things). Reiki, is the combination of the two characters, and means universal life force energy. This energy can be safely used anytime and any place.
The attunement to the Reiki Healing Ray is accomplished through initiations. There are three levels or degrees that the initiate is attuned to; each one strengthening and deepening the healing channel. Reiki attunement creates and internal transformation in the initiate. It transforms and balances the heart charka (which deals with the ability to give and receive love, the awareness of the oneness of all beings and the ability to hold compassionate detachment).
For every level or degree of initiation there is a subsequent 21 day integration period. During this time the Reiki Ray which is of a very high and pure resonance travels or cycles through the charka system, clearing and balancing it. Any areas of unresolved conflict or blockage are brought to the initiates attention at this time for recognition, resolve and release. The energy focus is then centered back within the heart charka. Once made, the Reiki attunement is never lost. Channeling Reiki energy can be learned by anyone.
It is this internal transformation that causes Reiki to stand out as different from other forms of healing. It creates a quantum leap in ones consciousness level which causes a shift or change on the body, mind, spirit and emotional level. Because the focus of the Reiki Ray is spiritual consciousness and unconditional love ( the core of the heart charka), it will facilitate a change in the practitioners relationship to the world (both inner and outer) and affect every aspect, every action of one’s life.
Reiki is a laying on of hands. It is very simple to learn and there is no danger of inadvertently hurting or harming the client or healee. Reiki will simply create the energy most needed to heal and balance the body, mind, spirit and emotions. It can facilitate healing the muscles, nerves, bones and organs and affect change in the chemical structure of the body. This is done by simply attuning to the Reiki Ray and allowing it to channel through and into the client or healee. Reiki healing is always safe and gentle. It can be used on newborns, as well as the elderly and severely ill. Reiki has been used successfully in hospitals for patient therapy. Anyone can benefit form Reiki. It is effective even when the healer is not directly touching the healee. You can even give yourself a full Reiki treatment.
Reiki was rediscovered in the mid 1800s by a Buddhist monk in Japan, Dr. Mikao Usui. He conducted a 28 year quest to discover the healing techniques practiced by Buddha. Through prayer, meditation and the study of many ancient Sanskrit texts, Dr. Usui discovered what he believed to be the keys to healing. It is these spiritual practices the Reiki masters practice and teach today. Reiki transforms the lives of all who come in contact with it. I believe it is the energy necessary to heal the planet and all its beings, which is why it has been brought to our awareness again at this particular time. Thank you, Dr. Usui.
