One of the more popular forms of alternative medicine is Reiki healing. It’s commonly thought to come from Japan, but it has it’s roots in ancient India.
Reiki is useful for both healing the spirit and the body, and works well with other healing methods. Reiki won’t bring harm, so it’s an excellent option to speed healing.
An important thing to keep in mind is that Reiki healing is spiritual in nature. It restores and strengthens the energy system first, and in so doing helps the body heal. It is also spiritual in that it is a spiritual practice, so it’s not a physical, mechanical method of healing; it’s more subtle.
What this means that if you need help mending a wounded heart, energy healing is a good way to go, and Reiki in particular will be of great help.
As we go through life, the bumps and bruises we get take their toll. As time goes on, they can weigh you down and make wreck your emotional balance and physical wellbeing. Reiki can bring a gentle rain to the parched landscape of painful experiences.
While there are miraculous (and true) stories of what Reiki can do, the baseline for starters is deep relaxation. This will allow the body to recoup and reset itself, and that’s no small thing in today’s society of speed and constant urgency.
Beyond that, here are a few direct experiences I’ve had with Reiki. Burns have disappeared. Motion sickness has evaporated. Chronic pain has been kept at bay, and reduced over time. Surgery has healed up in a fraction of the time and with minimal painkillers.
As useful as Reiki healing is, it’s best used in combination with other healing methods. Of all the Reiki practitioners I’m aware, only one or two use Reiki as a stand-alone. All of them would urge you to see a doctor if you’ve got the flu or an injury. Reiki in conjunction with modern medicine is a powerful combination.
An interesting note is that Reiki cannot be used to harm. It just won’t do it. I tell a story on my site about when I got ambitious and careless and tried to use a technique I hadn’t been taught yet. Long story short – I wasn’t harmed, but I was absolutely taught a lesson. Reiki won’t harm, even if I might have deserved it.
There’s a wide area to explore in studying Reiki. Healing across time and space. Symbols of healing passed from teacher to student unbroken going back more than a century, there’s a lot do discover.
If you’re looking for a healing method which is gentle and blends easily with other methods, I’d strongly suggest exploring Reiki.
