Introduction to Reiki Healing

Reiki Healing is an ancient laying of the hands healing technique. It was devised by a Tibetan Buddhist and rediscovered by Dr Mikao Usui in the late 1880’s. This simple but highly effective from of healing is practised and taught by thousands around the world.

The word reiki is derived from the Japanese words “rei” meaning universal spirit and “ki” which means energy. The word reiki basically means a balanced cosmic and energy force. The fundamental principle of how reiki works is that it dissolves the toxic energy from your aura or life force. This can be physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. Reiki helps to create equilibrium of energy which in turn creates a harmonious environment within the human body so true healing can take place.

People that become reiki healers first must learn to become attuned to the reiki energy to allow there natural healing energies to become enhanced. At this point it is important to mention that everybody has the ability to become a reiki healer. This is not an exclusive club for the spiritual elite. However, you must learn to recognize the energy forces around your own body before you can appreciate how to send positive energy to others. The beauty of reiki is that it enhances the unique blend of energy around you and within you to from a powerful life force that has the ability to heal not only the physical body but also your mental, emotional and deeper spiritual issues. This can be done if the person you are sending healing to is in front of your or is a thousand miles away!

The energy of reiki is transferred to students through a reiki master. The reiki master attunes the students gradually to the reiki energy and reveals symbols of meditation that can be used within the student’s energy field to accomplish higher vibrations of energy. This mediation is guided through a celestial universal force that guides each student through there individual journey of healing.

Reiki Healing has been traditionally taught in three degrees. Each degree allows the student to become further attuned to the healing energy. First degree Reiki is primarily an etheric/physical healing energy. It has a tremendous ability to balance the chakras, remove negative energy from a person's auric field, relieve stress and heal the body in general.

Second degree energy deals primarily with healing the mental and emotional levels of one's being. First degree energy is enhanced and amplified at least four times, and one is taught how to send the healing Reiki healing energy over a distance as well as to other points in time. Other advanced techniques are taught that can facilitate deep emotional healing, which is often the true cause of disease.

Third degree energy is of a very spiritual nature. It integrates all levels of one's being and, as a result, initiates high self contact. Master/Teacher training provides one with the ability to attune others and teach Reiki I, II or III classes.
