What Happens During a Reiki Treatment?
Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is, in its simplest translation, Universal Life Energy. It is referred to in other cultures as “chi” “prana,” or “spirit.” It is the life force that exists in all things. The practice of Reiki is the art and science of channeling this universal life energy, or force, to promote physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Reiki involves directing the natural flow of universal energy; it can best be likened to recharging a battery. When a battery’s energy is low, it doesn’t function well. By introducing a charge to it, it can once again run on its own. (I like to call these tune-ups, so one can motor through life a little more smoothly) Reiki works in much the same way. If a client is suffering from illness, stress, or fatigue, their energy supply is lessened. Reiki assist the body in bringing its energy level back to its natural flow, thereby enhancing the body’s own healing powers. With Reiki, you’ll find colds leave faster, cuts and broken bones heal in less time; and stress levels diminish. What Happens During a Reiki Treatment? A Reiki treatment is conducted through a series of carefully orchestrated touch patterns. The client lies down on a standard massage table (fully clothed) and, beginning at the head, the practitioner moves their hands through these patterns down toward the client’s feel. Each position is held for approximately two to three minutes. A full treatment takes about an hour. The amount of energy transferred depends on the client’s needs. The touch is very gentle-Reiki is not a massage technique, but more of a “laying on of hands.” It is entirely up to the person being treated whether or not they accept the energy being given, as free will is always involved in the healing process using Reiki. Quite simply, everyone can benefit from a Reiki treatment. If you are basically healthy, Reiki works to help you stay clear and balanced. If you have been diagnosed with a dis-ease, received an injury, or find yourself dealing with any other source of stress, Reiki can assist the healing process. For those time when a person is transitioning form this world, Reiki has been known to make the journey easier and more peaceful.
Many people in the healing communities now substitute the term dis-ease for the word disease. In this way the emphasis is places on the natural state of ‘ease” being imbalanced, or disrupted, with less focus on any particular ailment. The inclination to assist another person and provide comfort and reassurance when he or she is physically or emotionally hurt is an innate instinct in all of us. The principles of Reiki are based on this natural instinct. If you learn only one thing for certain about Reiki-that touching is healing-you will have embraced the heart of this ancient healing art. The rhythmic sensations brought about by Reiki’s healing touch are the equivalent to its heartbeat. The best way to understand and appreciate Reiki is to experience it by having a full-body treatment. Reiki is for everyone and it is available to anyone who wants it.
