Reiki is a healing modality. It is of Japanese origin, having been founded in Japan by Mikao Usui in the 19th century. He traveled to the USA with Hawayo Takata, who is the source of most of Reiki in the world today. There are now about 145 different types of Reiki, like ice cream flavors. Ice cream is still ice cream and all Reiki disciplines have several things in common.
These commonalities include, but are not limited to, the following:
The laying on of hands to heal, either by touching the clothed person or by doing it in the aura, the electromagnetic field of the body;
The five Reiki Principles, a set of principles according to which the healer aspires to live his life for a happy and healthy life;
The transmission of the state of Reiki healing from a Master Teacher or Trainer to the student, either by a series of initiations called Reiju, or by an attunement or initiation;
The ability to trace the lineage of the Reiki healer from Master Teacher to Master Teacher, all the way to Mikao Usui;
Channel the healing instead of the healing that comes from the healer himself;
The healer should not direct the healing at anything, but rather channel the healing, and the healer does his own healing by absorbing the energy and allowing it to do its thing;
Healing is not a cure but for the Higher Good for the situation, for example, it can help someone to help themselves to release or control eczema, depression, anxiety, chronic pain or any condition while , on the other hand, it is a terminal illness. the person can use it to recover, have a better quality of life or die with dignity, whatever is right for the Highest good;
The ability to receive distant healing, as a client in Australia and the healer channeling energy in China.
Reiki translated literally means phantom energy or spiritual energy. You can see it also called Universal Life Force. It is neither religious nor confessional. It is empowering for the client, because it does their self-healing; the healer is there as a facilitator, a channel.
It is a natural and simple healing modality that has no contraindications. This means that it is safe for anyone to have Reiki. If you haven’t tried Reiki yet, why not contact your local healer or attend a class or workshop? If nothing else, it will satisfy your curiosity. Of course, I hope you get more and are satisfied and happy with your experience.
