What is Reiki?

From times immemorial man has been trying to improve and maintain a high degree of health.  Throughout the planet and in every civilization this attempt has been taking place.  As a result, many types of therapies were discovered and they can be classified as physical and nonphysical.  Other Therapies like Reiki, pranic healing are nonphysical and non-invasive therapies.Medical systems like the western medical system and Indian medical systems like Ayurveda and the Chinese medical systems come under this category of physical therapies.

Reiki is an energy healing modality.  It is a Japanese word which is made up of two words the first half Rei means universal, essence, mysterious power, transcendental spirit. The second half Ki means vital life force energy the meaning of the full word is as follows universal life force energy.  Any energy healing system is defined as

It can be used to heal people of any age group including newborn babies.  Pets can also be subjected to treatment.It can also be used to heal various situations like marital conflicts, financial problems, human relations problems, etc.

History of Reiki

The beginning of this system of healing starts in the mid-1800.  Name of the founder is Mikao Usui.  He was a converted Christian and was a Dean of a small Christian university.  One day some f his students assked him about the healings performed by Jesus Christ and whether he can also do the same and teach them to do so.  Since Mikao Usui didn't know the answer , he decided to find answer to this question.  He first resigned from his job and went to America and studied at a seminary and finally he got disappointed as he was unable to find out the answer.  Then he remembered that Lord Buddha had also performed a lot of healing and so he went back to japan and studied Buddhist scriptures.  an abbot of a Buddhist monastery encouraged him in his pursuit and together with him it was decided that Mikao Usui must go to Mount Kuri Yama.  

After reaching Mount Kuriyama Mikao Usui engaged himself in intense meditation  and fasting for 21 days. On the 21st day he saw a flicker of light appearing in the sky and moving towards him.  Mikao Usui understood it  to be some sort of sign and the light striked him for a brief period of time in the center of his forehead.  He was in a trance like state for quite sometime.  After awakening he started to climb down the mountain by running and to his own surprise he realized that he had become stronger than before. This was his first miracle.  While climbing drown his right toe got wounded and started and immediately he cupped the toe with his hands and the bleeding stopped within short time and the wound got healed and this was his second miracle. 

And after reaching a road stand he ordered for a full meal , but the owner a old person recognized him to be a monk who had undergone intense meditation and fasting and advised usu to consume a special broth. But .Mikao Usui insisted for a full meal and ate the same without suffering with indigestion and this is said to be his third miracle.

Grand daughter of the road stand was suffering with pain because of a dental problem and Mikao Usui by putting on both sides his healing hands relieved the girl of her pain due to dental problem.  

How Does Reiki Works?

Reiki essentially acts over the pranic body and this causes changes in the physical body leading to an improved health condition. A practitioner because of his having undergone attunements and training can channel the healing energy into the body of patients.

 How Reiki therapy is administered?

This is done in two ways:

1.     Direct touch h

In the first, a patient is made to lie on a couch and the healer either touches the body or hovers his hands over the body of the patient.

In the second the patient need not visit the clinic of healer but just inform the healer of his problems and the practitioner administers healing with distance healing techniques.

The moment a practitioner intents start a healing session, Reiki starts to flow through his palms and while laying over the patient’s body it starts to flow into the body of the patient and give the necessary healing

During a session, the practitioner lays his hand at various specific positions over the body of the healee and the healee absorbs an adequate quantum of energy and to whichever area of his/her body do require it.  

Normally reiki is sensed as a warm flow, but it may also be sensed as cold flow or vibration, tickling sensations or neutral where nothing will be sensed but still energy will be flowing through the body of the patient.

What is experienced after the session?

After a session is completed the patient feels a sense of deep relaxation and also a sense of well-being, security, and peace.

In conclusion in today's highly stressful and tension-laden world undergoing Reiki healing will certainly bring a positive change in a person’s physical and mental health; it will also effect all-round improvement.
