An Introduction for Reiki Students

“The portal of healing and creativity always takes us into the realm of the spirit.”

It is all about KI

As one contemplates mastering the healing art of Reiki, the journey may seem overwhelming. As the saying goes,t mastery is a lifelong journey, and every journey starts with the first step. Know that the reward is great, similar to any discipline; there is much to learn, mastery comes with dedication. A genuine practitioner is one that is continuously learning. That was also the philosophy of Usui Sensei. He explained that learning is one key component of mastering this method of natural healing. To better understand Reiki, it is imperative to acknowledge that universal energy, Ki has and will always be there. However, modern man had forgotten or had very little understanding of how it works. Ki is in constant ebb and flow in and around us. To simplify, we can generalize; and say that: since energy vibrates, it can resonate at a high and low frequency. Usually, low vibration causes imbalance, and higher frequencies will entrain lower ones to a higher level. A practitioner will channel Ki at a higher frequency, and using his intention or hands, direct it to the recipient to release blockage in the flow and restore balance. That is the premise of energy healing.

The Chakras System

One more concept to understand is the Chakras system. The Chakras system originates from Vedic science and is an integral part of the oriental medicinal system. The Chakras are concentrated points or silos of energy around the body. There are seven primary hubs in the body with hundreds of minor ones. Starting from the first one at the base of the spine to the seventh one at the crown. Each one vibrates at its frequency and radiates a specific wavelength. Each governs a specifics area of the body as well as a distinct emotional and physiological aspect. Any disturbance in any one of the Chakras will cause some ailment. Depending on the denseness of the blockage, the illness will be mild or severe. A practitioner will locate the imbalance Chakras, and using the hand, redirects the Ki. That is, how Reiki Practitioners release blockage and reenergize the chakras to promote a free flow of the life force.

We need to make one distinction as to the use of Chakras in Reiki healing. The Japanese put more emphasis on; the fifth, sixth, and seventh Chakras, whereas, in the western school; the focus is more on the localization of the discomfort, and energy is predominantly given to that area then move to other parts. Irrespective of the method used to administer Reiki, the result is the same, reestablishing balance and promote healing.

Only one tool, the hands

By now, you may know that there is no equipment required for Reiki, though some use accessories, they are just tools. The only requirement to perform Reiki is a flat, sturdy surface, like a Reiki table. Even that is not required as Usui Sensei use a tatami matt and a calm environment. The only requires tool is one’s hands, and that is always available anywhere any time.

There are some misconceptions about what we can and cannot treat with this healing modality. Some people recommend not treating some conditions, like burns. However, this is far from the truth. Any disorder, be it physical, mental, emotional, and even, spiritual can find relief with Reiki.

As you can see, there is nothing mythical about this phenomenal healing modality that has found its way from the land of the rising sun to us. I sincerely hope that now you would give Reiki a try and experience the sweetness of this healing energy that we interact with every day without knowing.

We are always happy when people inquire about Reiki. But, we firmly believe that to understand Reiki, one needs to experience it. Book a session now and see for yourself.
