How Does
Reiki Heal?
by
Laurelle Shanti Gaia
A
treatment feels like warm, gentle sunshine which
flows through you, surrounds you
and comforts you.
Many people
are practicing techniques to improve their health
such as meditation, exercise and improved diet. As
this is done, a deeper awareness often develops
concerning the flow of subtle energies in and
around the body and the connection between these
subtle energies and one's health. This developing
awareness validates the ancient idea of 'life
force energy' as the cause of health and its lack
as the cause of illness. The existence of 'life
force energy' and the necessity for it to flow
freely in and around one's body to maintain health
has been studied and acknowledged by health care
practitioners as well as scientists.
Our body is composed not only of physical elements
such as muscles, bones, nerves, arteries, organs,
glands, etc.; it also has a subtle energy system
through which 'life force energy' flows. This
subtle energy system is composed of energy
'bodies' which surround our physical body and
assist us in processing our thoughts and emotions.
The energy bodies have energy centers called
chakras, which work somewhat like valves that
allow life force to circulate through the
physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies.
We also have energy meridians and nadas. These are
like rivers, or streams which carry our life force
energy throughout our physical body, to nourish us
and assist in balancing our body’s systems and
functions.
Our physical body is alive because of the 'life
force energy' that is flowing though it. If our
'life force' is low or blocked, we are more likely
to get sick, but if it is high and free flowing,
we more easily maintain health and a feeling of
well-being. One thing that disrupts and weakens
the flow of 'life force energy' is stress. Stress
is often caused by conflicting thoughts and
feelings that get lodged in one's subtle energy
system. These include fear, worry, doubt, anger,
anxiety, etc. Medical research has determined that
continual stress can block the body's natural
ability to repair, regenerate and protect itself.
The American Institute of Stress estimates that
75%-95% of all visits to doctors are the results
of reaction to stress. The effects of unreleased
stress range from minor aches to major health
concerns, such as heart disease, digestive
disorders, respiratory and skin problems.
Reiki (ray-key) is a technique that aids the body
in releasing stress and tension by creating deep
relaxation. Because of this, Reiki promotes
healing and health. The word Reiki is made of two
Japanese words - Rei which means "the Wisdom of
God or the Higher Power" and Ki which is means
'life force energy.' So Reiki means 'spiritually
guided life force energy.' The Reiki system of
healing is a technique for transmitting this
subtle energy to yourself and others through the
hands into the human energy system.
Reiki restores energy balance and vitality by
relieving the physical and emotional effects of
unreleased stress.
It gently and effectively opens blocked meridians,
nadas and chakras, and clears the energy bodies,
leaving one feeling relaxed and at peace.

A treatment
feels like warm, gentle sunshine which flows
through you, surrounds you and comforts you. Reiki
treats the person’s body, emotions, mind and
spirit as a whole. Reiki is a simple, natural and
safe method of spiritual healing and
self-improvement that everyone can use.
Reiki is powerful, yet wonderfully
gentle and nurturing.
During a treatment, the clients remain fully
clothed.
Reiki is an effective alternative,
or complement to massage therapy.
Reiki supports any medical, or supplemental
healing methods a client may be using and is of
growing interest to chiropractors, medical
doctors, psychotherapists, psychologists and
hypnotherapists.
Anyone can learn to tap into an unlimited
supply of 'life force energy' to improve health
and enhance the quality of
life by learning Reiki, or by receiving treatments
from a Reiki Practitioner or Master.
