How Reiki Works
How Reiki energy works
We believe that we are all made up of energy. Every living thing in this
universe is made from this energy. Reiki is a pure form of universal energy that
is able to cleanse, heal, balance and remove any excess and negative energy that
is present in a person’s body, Chakras, aura and in their environment. Sickness
manifests when there is either excessive amounts of energy blocked in an area,
or a lot of negative energy that has accumulated due to stress, emotional trauma
and abusive patterns. Reiki is able to remove these blockages and negative
build-ups in a gentle but thorough way.
Reiki first degree can, with the use of "hands on healing," heal any physical
and emotional problems by eliminating blockages that are within the person’s
body.
Reiki second degree is are able to heal the person on all levels as well as
their environment. We are also able to work with womb and past-lives issues as
well as deep emotional problems. Second degree Reiki can delve into their past
and work on anything that has been buried. We are able to bring these issues up
to the surface so that we can remove them and most importantly heal them.
When we begin to use our Reiki energy in a healing with another person, the
first thing we should do is beam their aura. Beaming is where we learn to feel
the aura and Chakras around a person’s body. We beam with our hands using the
Reiki energy, we are able to feel any cold or hot spots. These sensations alert
us to any problems the person may have on a physical and emotional level.
Heat coming from our hands and their aura alerts us to certain types of
sickness. This could indicate an old injury or a vulnerable part of their body
where illness could manifest in the near future.
Cold sensations alert us to an area of the body that is blocked and needs to be
Reikied. When an area is cold, we have to flood it with Reiki to help remove the
blockage. Cold areas can cause problems for the person by creating negative
blockages.
These blockages are caused by stress and worry and go on to become sickness in
the near future. When we beam a person’s Chakras, we are also able to tell which
Chakras are out of alignment.
The sensations we get from the Chakras can tell us a story about the person’s
past as well as what they are suffering in the present. We can also warn of what
they may face in regards to sickness, stress and emotional issues in the future.
While we are beaming them, we are also able to activate our Reiki energy.
Beaming is also used for healing in conjunction with the basic "hands on" that
we do with Reiki. After we have beamed them, we then have a good idea of which
areas need the most amount of Reiki during the healing. When we start to use the
Reiki, we come to understand how this energy really works.
Firstly, Reiki acts as a calming experience that relaxes the person. Reiki
places them in a state where they are able to rest. This relaxed state slows
their thinking, thus it helps to allay their worries, fears and phobias for a
while. Some people do not know how to relax, and because of this, they cannot
help but become stressed out and worried - Reiki can show them that they can
relax. People only need to be shown, and when they are shown, they are able to
believe. Awareness is what makes people change, listen, learn and most
importantly, heal. Reiki brings about awareness - this is why we say that Reiki
comes from truth.
Reiki is a great stress release therapy and with first degree you are able to
work as a stress therapist. When we believe in the wisdom behind the Chakras and
their functions within the body, mind and soul, we can combine this wisdom with
the healing belief of Reiki. We are able to access a person’s body and work with
them more thoroughly then most other conventional methods. This gives us a
leading edge. We can sometimes diagnose a problem on all levels, then we are
able to go to the root of the problem to heal it.
Reiki is a very powerful healing tool. Not only does it promote healing, it can
also find the cause of the sickness. Please remember though, that we do not
replace doctors. What we try to do, is work along side of them. Always get your
patients to seek medical diagnosis first.
Become open and aware of the Chakras. You will only enhance your power and
wisdom as a Reiki healer by learning about the aura and the Chakras. Books can
give you basic explanations, however, true wisdom comes from working with people
"hands on".
Due to the fact that people are different and individual in their own way, not
all energy centres are rotating and spinning in the way the books tell us they
should. Some people have artificial limbs, blood from other people and donor
organs in their bodies. We have to consider that these factors can cause these
people to have different energy set ups with their Chakras and auras. You may
find that there is some memory or DNA from a donor has been passed on to this
person. Use your natural intuition to guide you when dealing with people while
giving a Reiki. That is why we say Reiki is an intuitive energy. You become open
to this intuition when you become attuned to Reiki. Do not worry, with time and
practise you will pick this up. Reiki is so gentle- it only promotes healing. If
you find that you haven’t a clue of what’s going on, do not be alarmed as Reiki
does know, and acts accordingly.
Our first hands on healing method is the Chakra healing. Once we have beamed a
person’s aura and Chakras within the aura above their body, we then place our
hands directly on the seven main Chakras on their actual body, starting at the
base and working our way to the crown. We like to do this first, because it
helps to align and balance the Chakras. If we are sick, our Chakras are always
out of balance. This imbalance is what caused us to become sick in the first
place. Some sort of event or emotional issue caused our Chakras to become
unbalanced, which in turn created a sickness or dis-ease.
By aligning and balancing the Chakras first, we are able to promote a stronger
and faster healing for the person. We are able to strengthen the Chakras. Once
we have aligned and strengthened them, we are able to go to the areas that are
vulnerable and sick and focus great amounts of Reiki energy on these areas.
There are many different positions that Reiki can work through. You can even
hold a person’s hand and the Reiki will go where it is needed. Reiki is so
intuitive it will go straight to the problem, issue or pain.
You can also sit them on a chair and do the basic Chakra positions- the effect
is just as powerful.
Professional Reiki practitioners like to use the chelation method. This method
starts with the feet and covers every joint in the body including the arms. You
can then turn the person over and do their back. I want you to be very gentle
when you lay your hands on a person’s spine. Gently cup your hands over the
spine and do not to put too much pressure on them directly as this can cause
them to feel a build up of pressure that may in turn cause backache. Another
idea is to work just above the spine, which is good if the person has a lot of
pain in their back.
Reiki energy will not cause harm, but when you apply firm pressure with your
hands on the body, you may cause them some discomfort. Remember, you can always
do a healing above their body. You can also do repair work in their aura as the
aura records damage in the physical body.
I also like to apply the wisdom and belief of the inner child and the higher
mind when I work with a Reiki healing.
The inner child exists within us all. The inner child governs feelings,
emotions, memories, unconditional love and joy. The inner child is innocent but
very wise. When we tap into our inner child, we are able to remove all the
restrictions and negative conditioning of our adult world. Our inner child
teaches us how to be free and how to laugh and find joy in the everyday process
of living.
When we work on a person’s heart Chakra with Reiki, we are able to tap into
their inner child. On a spiritual level Reiki is capable of helping them
"lighten up" and start having fun again. Reiki is also able to teach them how to
forgive themselves and others for any negative event that they have faced in
their life.
I also like to work with the higher mind when doing a Reiki healing.
The higher mind is that state in a person that opens us to learning and
awareness. Healing takes place when we become aware. Awareness brings
realisation of the truth in any situation, and through that truth we can learn
how to deal with our lives and our sicknesses. The higher mind is all about our
true purpose and role in life. The higher mind is also a transmitter that can
send out messages to the universe. These messages when negative, can create
negative patterns and events in our life. When the messages are positive they
are able to heal any past patterns and conflict, and then set up new and
positive patterns for our present and future. We like to work on the crown
Chakra when we do a higher mind healing.
If you start a healing session with the higher mind, you can help the person to
become aware and open to healing.
To activate an inner child and higher mind healing, all you have to do is
consciously focus on dealing with, and healing these areas.
I also like to ground people after a healing session. As we are spirits in
physical bodies, it is important that we learn how to become grounded and
connected to the earth. To ground a person we use the grounding symbol that is
taught in class.
We go to the feet, and Reiki both feet for a few minutes, while implanting the
belief behind the grounding symbol into their physical body. We then take the
energy and draw it up over their whole body as if we are zipping them up in a
sleeping bag. We close the energy over their crown Chakra. This helps to keep
the energy within their body and closes them off to any outside negative energy.
In your mind, you can ask the Reiki energy to "white light" them with protective
energy. The Reiki will do as you request and place a protective energy around
their body. Thus, when they leave the session they will not be exposed to any
negative influences. An important factor with the Reiki energy is that on your
request, you are able to ask the power of Reiki to do certain things. This is
good if you have an understanding of metaphysics and how it works. However, you
can only do this if it will benefit the person having a healing. If it is not
appropriate, Reiki will act intuitively and do what is needed. That is the great
thing about Reiki - it cannot and will not harm you or anyone. As you work with
the Reiki energy it will educate you. Reiki will open you to the doorways of
healing and the many different alternatives available. Your pathway will always
be guided by truth - Reiki is truth.
Allow its true power and wisdom into your life.
