| REIKI
REIKI is a Japanese word meaning universal life energy. It is a
gentle method of hands-on healing that reduces stress, induces
deep relaxation and promotes healing. Reiki is not massage,
hypnosis or a tool for diagnosis. It is a technique that gently and
powerfully promotes balance among the body's systems and the
regenerative processes of body and mind.
Current research strongly suggests that energy does extend
throughout and beyond the physical body. Disruptions or
imbalances in this energy field's flow correlate to physical, mental
and emotional illnesses. This energy field is our "ki" or "chi" or
"prana". The "rei" is the universal higher knowledge or spiritual
consciousness. This is the wisdom of God or the Higher Self.
Reiki is an ancient healing
art which
channels
universal life energy
through the hands of a
practitioner into the |
 |
body of a receiver. Reiki
encourages self healing and
touches both the body and
the soul. It can never do any
harm. |
To receive REIKI, most people lie on a table fully clothed, in
something comfortable. Little or no pressure is used and no oils
are used. It can also easily be done in a chair, a hospital bed,
through casts and bandages. The practitioner simply places his or
her hands on or above your head, shoulders, chest, stomach, back,
arms and legs. While quiet and focused, the practitioner will
follow
a routine of hand positions or can place the hands anywhere you
would like them to, such as over a specific area of pain or injury or
a specific organ. The universal energy flows, not from the
practitioner, but through the practitioner to you - going where it is
needed for your specific issues.
Most people experience deep relaxation, sometimes even falling
asleep during the session. You may also feel tingling, warmth or
pulsing sensations.
