I always have people asking, “What is Reiki?” and to tell you the truth, the people asking struggle to even pronounce it lol, let alone know what it is.
Let me tell you…Reiki is a healing method or modality that uses the hands & universal energy for our wellness & healing. “Rei” is Universe & “Ki” means energy. This healing method has been used in Japan for thousands of years & it’s current form was brought to North America via Hawaii in 1940 & to Europe in the ’80’s.
Reiki uses universal energy to push blockages in your body’s energy “highway” like a road crew pushing a large bolder off the road so traffic can FLOW freely. Our health, balance & well being is really about how well our energy flows thru our body. If we have poor flow, our body will start to communicate it’s unhappiness or unbalance with sickness or disease.
Reiki heals the whole body and the whole person. Physically, emotionally & spiritually. Most Western medical practitioners, Dr.’s, today only treat our symptoms & not the root of the problem. Reiki addresses the entire problem & root of the issue. Reiki always works towards our highest good.
Reiki moves the energy in &/or around in a human being, animal in inanimate object. All items in our universe have their own energy & create energy. Quantum physicists have discovered that the basic building blocks of matter are made of energy. It is widely believed that we carry the universal energy & wisdom of the “Big Bang” in every cell of our body. This is the energy that healers work with to heal the problems that arise due to this energy becoming stagnant in the body.
The list of items that Reiki can treat is long & seems never ending. Some of the select areas are stress, sleeping challenges, trauma, anxiety, pain reduction & elimination, removal of toxins, chronic disease & to strengthen immune system. Its so important to “tune in” to your specific energies. To listen to your body & the messages its trying to give you so you can take the necessary steps to heal.
Reiki can also be given to inanimate objects to increase the positive energy of that object for your use. I often give Reiki to my drinking water & while I’m cooking for my “minions”, to enhance the nourishment it will give our bodies. I give Reiki to my bath water or to the soil when gardening. The intention of feeling that positive energy flow from Universal Source thru my hands onto whatever is receiving the Reiki is a very powerful & profound thing.
Today, Reiki Healers/Practitioners are just as effective & recognized as Dr.’s in Western society, finally. Reiki Practitioners are educated, equipped & are as capable to diagnose, treat & provide maintenance just as Doctors are. Reiki Practitioners go further in treating the whole body rather than just the symptom. Just like Doctors sourcing out specialists for surgical procedures, Reiki Practitioners will source out Herbalists, therapists in other Holistic modalities & Doctors in Western medicine to assist in the healing process.
Taking the initiative to research Reiki, contacting a Reiki Practitioner & receiving Reiki on a regular basis is a step in a healthy, holistic direction. To treat not just the symptoms but the whole body to regain harmony & balance is KEY to a healthy & long life. Reiki energy equals wellness, health & healing, things we need every day in every way. xo
