THE SPECIFICS OF REIKI ENERGY HEALING
Reiki means universal energy (Rei = universal, ki = vital energy). "Rei" describes its boundless aspects and "KI" is the energy force that flows through all living beings.
Reiki is not the vital energy of a person (bio-energy). Reiki represents the universal energy and it corresponds to the energy body that is at the base of all the other energies in the universe. This energy is entirely beneficial, capable of healing any energetic disharmony or imbalance. Being a universal form of energy, it acts to maintain the optimum equilibrium in the universe.
HOW DOES REIKI WORK?
Reiki is one of the more widely known forms of energy healing *. Energy healing involves direct application of Ki for the purpose of strengthening the client’s energy system (aura). Ki (in Japanese) or Chi (in Chinese) is the term used by the Chinese mystics and martial artists for the underlying force the Universe is made of. Mystics in all cultures have talked about the physical universe being made of an underlying form of something, much as modern physics research is now coming to understand the Universe is made of energy which is subject to (or affected by) thought.
After being initiated by a Reiki Master, the practitioners’ energy aura is modified in such a way that the hands are now capable of spontaneously sending (channeling) Reiki energy continuously, without effort. This capacity or ability to heal others and oneself will remain unchanged throughout the practitioner’s entire life, regardless of whether they actively practice Reiki or not.
DOES REIKI HAVE A PLACEBO EFFECT OR IS THERE MORE TO IT?
Stop and reflect for a moment. Imagine the implications of the universe around us made from energy, which can be shaped and manipulated by thoughts. This is the implication of both Quantum Physics and ancient Metaphysics.
Research studies have shown that praying improves the health of those who are prayed for. The focus of intent in prayer sends thoughts out in the form of "I wish such-and-so to happen". So if the world is energy subject to the power of thought, then prayers must work, depending on how clearly and carefully you hold and elaborate on the prayers or thoughts. Is this a placebo effect?
The same applies to Reiki, where the practitioner is trying to aid in the healing * of the patient by directing Reiki energy. Since the word Reiki means Universal Life Force Energy, it (strictly speaking) refers to the energy and not the specific techniques taught by Reiki Masters, and hence cannot be attributed to a placebo effect.
WHAT OTHER HEALING METHODS CAN I COMPARE REIKI TO?
Some other forms of healing using Chi energy forces are Chi Gong and Pranic Healing. All (apparently) use the same energies, with the difference lying in the techniques of application and an energy quality commonly known as vibration.
This term vibration is widely used in the "New Age" community and refers to the range in experience between the dense or low vibration of the physical world to the high vibration of the highest spiritual expression. While the term is inadequate to truly describe the differences, and while reality is probably not a simple bipolar scale of experience, the term is descriptive of how the energy feels.
