The Energy of Reiki

Healing the Causes of Illness

Feb 5, 2009 Anna Lobsanova

Reiki is the rediscovered healing method of the great spiritual sages of time. It uses the life force energy to heal the causes of the illness.

The healing power of Reiki lies in its use of the magnetic energy inherent in all things. The healer has the ability to channel the energy through the receiver of the energy and transform it with the purifying all pervading force. It is a natural instinctive healing innate in everyone's ability. It works by curing the cause of the problem, and according to Reiki, an illness is the block in the current or flow of energy, for reasons such as wrongful or accidental action which could be spiritual, psychological or physical.

Reiki is one of many spiritual healing practices and it is based on the concept that there is an unlimited energy resource in the universe. This power is a spiritual life force that becomes apparent with greater awareness and spiritual perception. The skill of using this energy can be attained by anyone and be directed to many positive causes, not limited to healing.

Origins of Reiki

The healing art is said to have originated in Tibet. Holy men such as Buddha and Jesus knew this sacred healing technique. In the mid 1800s, Mikao Usui was a principal of the Doshisha University in Kyoto, Japan and wanted to learn this ancient practice. He found the answers from Buddhist monks, when he himself became one. He learned the ancient healing symbols and began to heal people, creating other reiki masters and spreading reiki. In order to learn reiki one must receive an attunement from a master; Which is a kind of tuning or plugging into the natural energy source.

Techniques of Reiki Levels

There are three levels of Reiki, each one requiring at least one attunement. The first level teaches the ability to heal oneself, level II teaches to heal others as well as by distance healing through mental use of symbols, and applying energy. The third level gives the teacher the power of giving attunements by receiving a final attunement that makes one a reiki master. In her book: "Essential Reiki," Diane Stein reveals the techniques of learning Reiki. She also includes the information on how Reiki reflects and abides by Buddhist principles, and uses systems such as chakras, visualizations, karmic healing and meditation.

Reiki heals through hands but uses the energy passing through the whole person. It is possible to cleanse almost every problem, as well as eliminate pain. The energy can be felt as heat and can sometimes be sensed or seen as a form of radiation or light. When a healing is done the receiver feels sensations ranging from dizziness to noxiousness, and full revitalizing pain relief. A person may also experience memory insight, emotional and mental inspiration as energy balances and restores stability.

The Spiritual Channeling

Diane Stein has worked on and treated every kind of illness from headache to AIDS and the effectiveness of the treatment is evident in many successful results. The aim of the book is to spread the knowledge of Reiki, and give people the ability to heal themselves. She believes that this power to heal should be available to everyone. Because of the revitalizing power behind Reiki, the method is harm proof. Its energy is the life force energy or universal love.

Rei means spirit or supernatural, Ki stands for life force and is as light and the bio magnetic energy of the aura that everything alive radiates. In a way Reiki and spiritual healing is a form of spiritual channeling of energy. There are many methods of energy healing, and Reiki although different from the ancient way of healing, is still original in its essential principles.
