Reiki Energy

Reiki, the spiritual healing art, affirms about a universal life force energy that can be used by practitioners to bring a healing effect. This life energy is very effective and has been asserted to have power of curing. It is believed that this energy can be accessed by anybody through an attunement process performed by a Reiki Master. As per the belief, the energy flows through the hands of the practitioner every time the hands are placed on, or held close to the recipient.

Moving further, certain teachings state that practitioner's attendance & intentions are really important in this therapy, whereas others declare that the recipient's injury itself draws the energy to develop the natural healing process. So, it can be said that the 'energy' is 'intelligent' and doesn't really requires any diagnosis. Another realm of Reiki energy is its power to heal from a distance. However, this method requires use of special symbols to make a momentary link between the practitioner and the recipient, and then channelize the universal life force energy.

The entire procedure is taught to the students so that Reiki energy can be sent to a particular point in time, whether in past or in future. Whatever energy is used in Reiki treatment is assumed to be drawn from the Universe, rather than being that of a practitioner and that's why it is unlimited. Other teachings pronounce that the life energy comes in the practitioner by way of the crown chakra, prior to getting discharged from the hands. This could be the probable answer to how Reiki practitioners can treat themselves with the energy.

The practitioners also use Reiki as a preventative medication, since it's regarded that the life force energy promotes healing earlier than the surfacing of apparent symptoms. Some masters assert that if the probable recipient doesn't want to get healed at certain level, the life energy will not flow. The believers describe Reiki as a holistic therapy that brings about curing on all levels - physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.
