People who practice various forms of meditation, over
a period of time realize that there are certain subtle energies within
and around the body. There is a link between these energies and one's
health. Ancient knowledge tells us about 'life force energy' and that
this energy is responsible for an individual's health. This 'life force
energy' needs to flow freely through the human body for the person to be
healthy. If there is blockage in the flow or there is an imbalance in
the energy then it leads to ill health. The presence of 'life force
energy' and the need for it to flow freely for the body to be healthy
has been acknowledged by a number of scientists and doctors. Our body is
made up of physical elements and a subtle energy system. It is through
this energy system that the 'life force energy' flows. The energy system
has energy bodies that surround our body and help us feel and think.
These energy bodies have energy centers called charkas, these act as
regulators and allow the life energy to flow through the spiritual,
emotional, mental and physical aspects of our body. There are energy
meridians and nadas that are present through out our body. These
meridians carry the life force energy all over our physical body; this
nourishes and helps in balancing the systems and functions in our body.
We are alive because the 'life force energy' is flowing through it and
when there is a disruption in this flow, we get sick. Stress is one of
the main reasons that the flow of energy is disrupted. Stress is caused
by conflicting thoughts and emotions and this interferes with the free
flow of energy. Being under stress for a long time blocks the body's
innate ability to regenerate and defend itself. If a person is under
stress for a long time then it will manifest itself as a minor or major
health disorder ranging from skin diseases to heart disorders.
Healing through Reiki involves using one's hands, to transmit subtle
energy to the affected person's energy system. This energy can be
transmitted to oneself and to others. Through this process stress is
reduced and energy balance is restored. Reiki healing gently unblocks
meridians, nadas and charkas, allowing energy to flow through the body
freely. This makes the person feel relaxed and at peace. Reiki healing
