How does Reiki work?

Reiki is a way of healing and a way of spiritual growth which can lead to so-called enlightenment. In the western world Reiki is mainly passed on as a healing system, however, more and more often spiritual elements are added.

Reiki is harmony, it is balance, it works on all levels of the being – the physical, mental and spiritual level. In other words, it works on the body and the aura, heals holistically. Reiki gives energy to the body and heals it. There are stories of recipients that prove that Reiki has healed the rarest diseases in some cases. Scientific studies prove that healing times could be drastically reduced through Reiki, that it reduces pain and can normalise high blood pressure. Reiki can reduce the side effects of chemical medicines and support traditional therapies.

Even Mikao Usui described Reiki as something intuitive which obviously possesses its own intelligence. It flows to where it’s mostly needed and where it can be best effective to the highest good of the recipient – independently of their intentions of how it should be effective.

Therefore there are no rules as such. Usually the recipient feels peace and relaxation during a treatment, often linked to a feeling of security. However, this may vary. It can be said, however, that Reiki works holistically.

When your hands come into contact with anything living, the Reiki energy is automatically activated and radiates from the palms of the hands. There is no need for belief or any kind of mind control on the part of either the practitioner or recipient.

A one-hour Reiki treatment is physiologically equivalent to several hours of sleep which makes it a very effective natural stress reliever. As stress is on of the main underlying causes of disease, regular treatment of Reiki will help to maintain optimum good health and so reduce risk of disease. High stress levels have been clinically proven to retard physical healing.

Reiki energy flows through the crown chakra into the Reiki practitioner and is then transferred through their hands unto the recipient. The practitioner therefore acts as a channel.

How exactly Reiki works in detail, nobody can tell. But as it flows through the aura through all energy levels of the body, it is effective in every cell in the body, the molecules, the atoms. It has a balancing effect and changes the vibrations in order to activate natural healing. Reiki flows into the body by putting the hands on and also touches memories saved in the body. This can lead to physical healing reactions and that the recipient becomes aware of emotional injuries.

Illness is there to teach the person a lesson. Sometimes a person is not ready to let go yet and then we should not send Reiki and try to help the person (yet). The good thing about Reiki is that if the person rejects the energy if will automatically flow to living things around the person that accept the energy. Nobody can be forced to help and we have to respect their wish. In other words, you don’t have to believe in Reiki for it to be effective, but if you are not ready to move on Reiki will accept their free will to suffer, die, be ill and doesn’t force the person to heal.

In the end of the day, the importance is not in analysing Reiki, but in using it, share it, grow through it and heal yourself and others.

How can Reiki help you?

Reiki can literally be used for anything and everything. We can treat ourselves, other people, plants, animals, situations (both in the past and future) or even over distance.

Reiki can help with illnesses, aid relaxation, boost the immune system, cleansing and detox, aid concentration, relieve pain, depression, help with grieving, reduce shock, IBS etc. The list is endless. I personally discovered Reiki when suffering from migraines many years ago and it did wonders for me. It can also help you to have more willpower when trying to give up smoking or you’re embarking on a diet. About to have an important interview or exam? Reiki can help you to relax and concentrate better.

The beauty about this way of healing is that the energy can be channelled over distance as well as be given during a personal treatment and works just as well. It can be sent to the next room or to the other end of the world.
