Reiki for many people is an effective alternative
method of healing. Reiki uses the 'life force energy' to heal illness.
According to Reiki a balance in 'life force energy' leads to good health
and an imbalance in this energy leads to ill health. A Reiki healer can
restore this energy balance thus healing illness. A Reiki practitioner
uses different hand positions on the client's body and energy flows
through his hands to the recipient. The practitioner places his hands on
the different chakras or energy centers, in the body of the client. By
doing this he opens and cleanses the chakras and as energy flows from
his hands into the client's body the normal flow of energy is restored.
Advocates of Reiki believe that there is universal energy in every
individual and each of them can utilize it. But only those who are
initiated can transfer energy to other people.
Any individual can choose to learn Reiki from a person who has already
been initiated or a Reiki master. Once a person is initiated to Reiki
the universal energy flows freely through him and in a concentrated
manner from his hands. A Reiki healer can heal a person from a distance
as well. Using the distance healing technique Reiki practitioners can
heal and help people who are not physically present at a place. Any one
can learn Reiki and the length of a session or class ranges from 30
minutes to an hour. In Reiki the client is also an active part of the
healing process. Reiki is based on free will of the client. It is up to
the client to decide whether he wants to receive Reiki or not and how
much of energy he needs. Reiki healing uses a holistic approach that
treats the mind, body and spirit.
