How to Spiritually Heal Through Reiki
Reiki is a holistic treatment intended to restore the body's energy balance through the practice of laying hands on the patient. This ancient Japanese practice, rediscovered by Dr. Mikao Usui in the 20th century, is purported to help heal many sorts of emotional, physical and spiritual imbalances caused by trauma or stress, from depression to common colds. Reiki has been considered effective by some in combination with Western medicinal practices as well as with homeopathic remedies.
Things You'll Need:
Computer with Internet connection
Quiet room
1
Schedule an appointment with a Reiki practitioner or Reiki Master. Treatments range from inexpensive to moderately expensive, but once you know what you're doing, you can practice Reiki for free at home.
2
Lie on the massage table and feel the Reiki practitioner place his or her hands above your body. Some say heat can be felt as the energy flows between your body and the practitioner's hands.
3
Experience toxins being released from your body. Reiki is said to release toxins that are blocking spiritual pathways, and by detoxifying the body healing may be accomplished.
4
Notice an altered thought process following your Reiki treatment. Your point of view on life may be completely changed, and you may feel more positive both spiritually and emotionally.
5
Ask your practitioner about attunement, the process of becoming a Reiki practitioner yourself. Even if you do not want to become a practitioner, the attunement can also open you up to a more spiritually complete Reiki experience.
6
Learn more about attunements and spiritual healing through The International Center for Reiki Training web site (see Resources below).
Tips & Warnings
Wear comfortable, loose clothing for your Reiki treatment.
Research your Reiki practitioner before you make an appointment. Sometimes it is helpful to meet your practitioner before a session in order to ensure a good match.
While Reiki is said to help heal chronic conditions such as asthma, it should not replace a consultation by a certified physician.
If you feel high anxiety after a Reiki session, consult a physician immediately, as some people have complained of adverse reactions to the treatment.
Due to the detoxifying effect on the body, some adverse physical side effects are associated with Reiki. Discuss the possibilities of these side effects with your physician before you attend a Reiki treatment.
Reiki is not a proven science and results do vary.
Before you start any alternative medical technique, be aware that many have not been scientifically evaluated. Often, only limited information is available about their safety and effectiveness. Each state and each discipline has its own rules about how alternative medicine practitioners can be professionally licensed. If you decide to visit one, choose one licensed by a recognized national organization. Consult your primary health care provider about your decision first. Keep your doctor informed about the alternative medical technique you undertake.
