WHAT IS REIKI ?

 

Reiki is an ancient form of healing thought to date back to our earliest civilizations. It was rediscovered and put into a formal system by Mikao Usui (Dr. Usui) in Japan in 1922. During a three week meditation in the mountains, Dr. Usui was attuned by spirit and shown this ancient healing system and the sacred symbols to enhance it’s energy.

 

A Reiki healer today can be taught the hand positions and symbols but they must be indoctrinated to receive these energies from a Reiki master. This tradition is only passed on through a Reiki master and each student can tie back their healing heritage through their Reiki master. I was taught by my Auntie in Englandwho is a Reiki master and who’s healing heritage passes back to her Reiki Master in Japan and to the master Usui.

 

In a Reiki session, the healer, places their hands lightly on or just above the clients body, starting at the head and working down through each of the seven chakras. The healer allows the energy to come through their body using their hands as a transmitter. The actual healing energy comes from the healer’s Reiki guides in spirit. These healing spirits are very advanced loving spirits of the highest energy. Sometimes the healer may receive ‘messages’ from their spirit guides or spirits of the loved ones that wish to come through. I often get messages from a clients loved ones or a message from my guides as to why the client is experiencing psychic blockages.

 

I believe that most people can transfer healing energies whether or not they have been taught Reiki. But for me there was a remarkable difference in the power of energy that I was able to transmit after becoming an indoctrinated Reiki practitioner.

 

This works with animals in the same way. Animals have the same main seven chakras that we have. When I work on an animal client, I invoke healing spirits that want to heal animals and my animal spirit guides.

 

Reiki can be done from a distance where the client or pet is not present. A Reiki level II practitioner can do this by first asking for a distance connection and then sending Reiki symbols and healing from a distance. It actually works just as well.

 

A person doesn’t have to believe in Reiki. It is not faith healing and it works whether the person believes in it or not.

 

Reiki can also be sent not just for a person but for a situation or to protect a person through a certain event; such as to send Reiki to a client who is going to be sitting an exam next week.

 

Reiki is only able to ‘heal’ a person or animal who’s soul’s path is to get better. If the soul has decided that this is their time to pass to the next life, Reiki will not prevent the soul from leaving. However if this is their path, Reiki will help improve the rest of their time on earth and help the transition into the other world.

 

So as you can see, Reiki has some wonderful purposes, not only for healing physically, but also mentally and emotionally and to help with life’s ups and downs. As a person uses the Reiki energy to improve the lives of others, this energy also flows through the person giving Reiki. The practitioner not only receives this beautiful healing energy but it also opens up their psychic senses.
