Understanding Reiki

Some people have difficulty understanding what it is that a Reiki Practitioner does, how they work, or how they find out what is wrong with people.

We are all familiar with the idea of Intuition, Reiki practitioners work with their intuition on a daily basis. Intuition is more than straight knowledge, but is also learning trust, trust in ones own abilities.

I have done many Reiki healings. Reiki has taught me how to pick up different messages, sensations and feelings on people while I have been doing a healing on them.

I cannot "find out" anything they do not want me to know. and similarly I can not obtain their consent to read the energy if it is not for their "Highest Good" These feelings and sensations have taught me a lot about working with the Reiki energy, and I continue to learn daily.

Here is an except from a healer's experience, which may assist your understanding.

Sometimes you can be working on a body and feel pain shoot up and down your own body. You may be picking up sickness in the person you are working on and your body is registering it. This is like a psychic sensory that you are having. The pain, when you focus on it will feel like a throbbing, yet it will not really bother you. When the pain has stopped, you will know that you have helped heal or promoted healing faster in the area. You may also need to flick away the pain from your body and also your patients. There could be an intense build up of energy in one area that needs to be Reikied away and also flicked away from the aura. - You may also place your hands on an area and feel a magnetic pull as if you cannot move. This is because the Reiki is telling you that you need to stay longer on the affected area. Simply go with the Reiki energy until the magnetic pulling feeling has stopped. - Sometimes we feel cold or warm air rushing around a person’s body. I believe that the aura can become damaged and that these breezes are indicating that there is damage to a person’s aura, like a tare or a hole.
A cold wind alerts me to a spirit presence within their body and a warm breeze indicates that their life force energy is slowly leaking out. To heal this problem, simply Reiki in and around the aura. - If you are working on a person and you become agitated and feel an ill ease you are being alerted that your patient is going through some issues either consciously or unconsciously. These issues may well be some trauma that is arising to the surface for you to help heal with the Reiki. When you feel these sensations and feelings, simply start to breathe gently until you feel at ease and then get your patient to also breathe gently. - Sometimes you may feel like you are getting no response with your Reiki energy when you are doing a healing. It can appear to literally turn off. There could be several reasons but the most common ones are, either the person is blocking you like someone who blocks hypnotism or they are so sick that all the Reiki energy is flow directly to them. Ask them if they can feel any energy at all and if they say that they feel relaxed or some heat then you know that all the energy is entirely directed to them. It is the same when you are doing a healing on yourself and you are ill. The Reiki energy will direct itself within you and you may not feel any sensations at all.

If when you are doing a healing and you start to see different colours, be aware that this represents some psychic wisdom that is being offered to you from the Reiki energy and your own psychic abilities. Colours have their own frequency, wisdom and healing power. They also have a meaning in conjunction to the Chakras. When you see a colour or colours while you are doing a healing, read your Reiki book and it will explain the colours and their meaning with each Chakra. You are being told a message that could help to solve a problem. Also the Reiki energy may also be asking you to focus the colour and it’s power energy through to the person by your third eye. You visualise the colour in your mind and see that colour entering into the area that you are working on in your patient. - Sometimes you see sparks of energy flying around while you are doing a healing. I believe that these sparks are healing energy rays that are generated from a healing that is very powerful. The sparks run around clearing away negative entities and energy that are around you , the room and your patient. Enjoy these times as they can be really rare.

Reiki and the power of the mind.

There are four major accepted brain wave patterns that seem to have connective links to the levels of consciousness. These brain wave patterns allow advanced states that are useful for healing, spiritual growth, psychic advancement, astral travel, universal stimulation and spiritual support.

Beta - The Beta brain wave pattern exists on the level of the conscious mind. On this level we suffer from phobias, stress, worry and fear. This is the physical level that all of us function on. If we want to get away from these problems, we have to learn how to raise our levels and how to function on the other levels. This level is our conscious mind.

Alpha - The Alpha brain wave pattern exists on the level of the dreaming mind. It also activates our extra sensory perception, and helps with subliminal suggestions and higher states of awareness. However, this level is only at a minimal state - the first stage of spiritual growth. On this level we can enter our dream state and access any hidden memories or prophetic visions. We can sometimes meet with our past-lives through the hidden memories that we hold in this state. This level is our unconscious mind.

Theta - The Theta brain wave pattern activates an even deeper state of extra sensory perception and is the beginning of our abilities of psychokinesis. This ability is where you are able to move objects with the use of your mind. It can help to stop pain and enables you to reach the higher hypnosis states needed for implanting healing suggestions. This is the level many people reach when they learn to meditate. Meditation has proven to be a very powerful technique. It is useful in slowing the heart rate down and also helps to eliminate any pain that one feels on a physical level. This is beneficial if you suffer from any health conditions that need pain relief. This level is the sub-conscious mind. The imagination exists on this level.

Delta - The Delta brain wave pattern is usually recognised during deep sleep. During this time, all ESP and PK talents are stimulated and the qualities of total memory and total suggestibility is instilled. Here, in this state, is when your spiritual power and wisdom becomes open to you. In this state, you are able to connect to your past lives, astral travel, open your psychic abilities and connect to your higher mind. On this level, your spiritual guides can make contact and you are able to communicate with other beings. When you have accessed this state, all these abilities follow up through the other brain wave patterns until you can consciously access these abilities. Many of you are doing this now and as we become more open, we will be able to teach this skill to others. Soon, all beings will be open to these levels. This level is the super-conscious mind.
