Reiki
Why Should I Choose Reiki?
What is Reiki?
Reiki (pronounced Ray Key) is a natural healing energy that works on every level of the body, not just the physical aspects. Reiki is the combination of 2 Japanese words. Rei means “universal” and kei means “life force energy”. This energy is also known as chi in China and prana in India. Reiki treats the body, mind and spirit, bringing harmony and balance, encouraging the body to heal itself.
History of Reiki
Reiki as a system of natural healing was developed thousands of years ago in Tibet and India. It was rediscovered and developed by Dr. Mikao Usui, a Buddhist monk, in Japan at the end of the 19th century. He used it as a method of self-healing and spiritual growth.
Benefits of Reiki
What can Reiki treat?
Reiki can be used without fear of overdosing as it is using the body’s energy. It may be used on clients of all ages, regardless of their state of health. It is usually more effective as a course of regular treatments, depending on the needs of the individual.
The reiki treatment will not react with medication but will engage with the body to boost the efficiency of any medication being taken. Medical treatment should still be taken.
The Treatment
Reiki is a non invasive therapy which does not require the removal of any clothing. The practitioner will place their hands on or just over the body in a series of positions, including the recipients chakras. Reiki is a form of natural healing whereby the universal life force energy is channelled through the hands of the practitioner to the recipient. This encourages the recipient’s body to begin to self-heal and the recipient will draw as much Reiki as is needed. It releases blocked energy, cleanses and creates a sense of balance.
During the treatment the recipient may feel a variety of sensations: warmth, coolness, a tingling sensation, seeing colours or simply relaxation.
Because Reiki boosts the healing system and sends energy flowing throughout the body, sometimes a treatment can bring long standing deep emotional and physical problems to the surface. These emotions should be released and recognized as part of the healing and growth process, enabling a sense of inner peace and healthy state of being.
Some people experience extra energy and a feeling of well-being immediately after a treatment. Whatever the experience, it is important to drink plenty of water after a treatment in order to aid the detoxification process that has occurred.
Reiki and Animals
Animals are very aware of reiki and love it just as much as humans. They can benefit from reiki in the same way that humans can and it can help animals in the same way. It can help to relax them, calm them and even help with any painful problems. They enjoy receiving reiki and will allow the energy to be transferred until they feel that they have received enough. I have personally used reiki on my greyhound's tail as he originally split the end through too much wagging, and it seems to be taking a long time to heal properly. The reiki helps to calm him and alleviate the pain and hopefully assist the healing process.
