Reiki - The spiritual healing..

    What is Reiki ?

Reiki (pronounced Ray-key) is a Japanese name consisting of 2 words Rei and Ki meaning spiritually guided life energy (commonly known as Universal Life Energy), an energy which animates us all and is found all around us. Reiki is a form of spiritual healing using "universal life energy" channelled through the practitioner to the recipient. Reiki helps to harmonize body, mind and spirit for yourself or anyone you want to help. The inventor of Reiki is Dr. Mikao Usui. 

It is done by laying hands on the person's body part which is affected and is cured spiritually. Reiki can be used for many ailments like reducing stress, relieving pain, headaches, stomach upsets, back problems, asthma - respiratory problems, PMT, menstrual problems, sinus, anxiety and many more. 

Reiki could help at any level of being: physical,mental, spiritual or emotional. From acute to chronic diseases and problems could be cured by Reiki. A Reiki practitioner  is a channel which the energy is drawn through by the need or imbalance in the recipient. Neither person has to use any effort of will or concentration during this process.

As running water smoothes the jagged edges of a rock until it is small enough to roll away, Reiki flows to the areas of need, soothing pain and supporting the body's natural ability to heal itself. Reiki restores balance in one's life.

Reiki Can Never Cause Harm

Because Reiki is guided by the God-consciousness, it can never do harm. It always knows what a person needs and will adjust itself to create the effect that is appropriate for them. One never need worry about whether to give Reiki or not. It is always helpful.In addition, because the practitioner does not direct the healing and does not decide what to work on, or what to heal, the practitioner is not in danger of taking on the karma of the client. Because the practitioner is not doing the healing, it is also much easier for the ego to stay out of the way and allow the presence of God to clearly shine through.

METHODS FOR SYMBOL ACTIVATION

They can be activated in any of the following ways:

* By drawing them with your palm centre

* BY drawing them with your finger

* By visualizing them

* By drawing them with your third eye

* By spelling the symbol's name three times.

You can use whatever method you wish, but don't forget that it's the intentthat counts.

Where to apply them during a healing?

First place the symbol(s) on your own hands/palms and then redraw or visualise the same symbols on:

* The clients crown chakra

* The areas to be treated (if known)

* The clients hands/palms

If you can not recall a Reiki symbol, use the "alias", because both have the same energy.

With practice the symbols will become less relevant and the focus will change to the "intent" of the specific energies required.
