Reiki
Reiki is a Japanese form of stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing.
It is based on the concept of universal, life energy that is transmitted through the hands of the practitioner to the receiver through a “laying on of hands.” A subtle energy flows from the hands of the practitioner into the receiver and it is this energy that creates the relaxation and healing effect.
The Philosophy of Reiki
Within a 5000 year-old eastern philosophy, a primal energy, “chi” or “ki”, underlies life. Ki can manifest physically, emotionally, mentally, or spiritually. Ki can create higher states of consciousness through a self- or divinely-guided energy vibration. Reiki is a type of ki and is guided by “rei.” “Rei” is the higher mind or consciousness and has a wisdom that knows the cause of and how to heal illness. Reiki cannot be affected by the conscious mind or anything negative.
Controlled studies have shown that Reiki facilitates healing by triggering the autonomic nervous system where immunities reside. Reiki also impacts electrical current within the body, which can facilitate a shift to a healthier state of being.
Electrical current runs through the body. Every aspect of the human body, mind, and emotions are connected to and affect each other through electromagnetic induction. Each organ in the body has a pulsing electromagnetic field, the frequency of which can change during periods of illness. The heart creates the strongest electromagnetic field.
Reiki practitioners’ hands have been shown to produce stronger pulsing electromagnetic fields. When a practitioner treats someone who is ill, the practitioner’s hands pulse at a rate that the unhealthy organs need to be healthy, thereby inducing the healthy frequency into the unhealthy electromagnetic field of the organ.
