What is Reiki?
Reiki. What is Reiki? What does it do? Can you heal me? And how does it work?
That is what many people ask me when I say that I am a Reiki therapist.
Well, after 10 years of practising Reiki I still struggle to describe what Reiki is or at least to put it into words .
Reiki means Universal Energy and I believe that, instead of using the word ‘Reiki Healer’, which has oriental connotations, it sounds like a kind of special science we could simply use Energy Healer which is exactly what Reiki does.
And indeed, before attending my first Reiki course, I was already an energy healer.
I used to feel heat coming out from my hands and I had the urge to heal people, so I did try to help some people with great results. Stomach aches or headaches would disappear but then I forgot about it until years later, when I felt that same tingling and heat in my hands when read a book about Reiki. At this moment I knew I had to do the Reiki courses.
So, Reiki, although it is the same energy that I used to use to treat my patients then, IT has reinforced my connection to the energy.
When I treat patients, I channel energy to them, I do not use mine so that I do never get depleted of energy.
I am only a bystander that it is why we cannot say what we can heal, we are not A medium.
We only channel energy in the best possible way by being grounded and practising mindfulness.
The energy somehow finds its own way and knows exactly what to treat .
It’S all nice, but how does that energy work, how does it heal?
Well, the Chinese studied energy, which they call ch’i for many years. They claim that subtle energy circulate through channels or meridians throughout our body. When the flow of energy is blocked at one point, it will disturb the system and that is where disruption starts in our system.
If you imagine those meridians as a water pipe running in a particular way inside a machine you obviously can imagine what will happen if you block the flow of water at one point in the system; one part will overflow, that is where you have an accumulation of chi in your body and the other part of the system will be depleted of water.
Acupuncture, acupressure and reiki therapists are ‘pipes fixers‘ as they will disperse the accumulation of energy and likewise, fill the areas of depleted energy for the system to run smoothly again. But sometimes, it might take time to ‘repair’, depending on the damage or the amount of stress that your body has been through. It also depends on how long the system has been imbalanced for.
Imagine that some of the pipes have been filled with calcium over many years and even past lives, and has harden over time, which restricts the flow of the water through them. Now, how long do you think it will take to remove all the accumulation of calcium through all the pipes? You will certainly need more than one session of energy healing to rebalance everything!
Reiki works on all levels, spiritual, physical, mental and emotional so in order to establish balance on all levels it sometimes takes longer to be healed.
There is no limit of what Reiki can do or heal, the only limit is yourself.

WHERE DOES REIKI COME FROM ?
Reiki is presented to the western world as a healing method as a complementary medicine where the client lay down on a couch and receive a treatment. You will benefit healing with Reiki and of course receive some treatments if you learn Reiki but the treatments and healing is only a small part of what Reiki can do.
When Reiki was founded in 1920's in Japan by Mikao Usui, it was a spiritual path,a journey to enlightenment, a self-healing method.In fact, Mikao Usui called it 'Method to achieve personal perfection'.
The aim was to reach enlightment which Mikao Usui did.
Mikao Usui teached his Spiritual method in different ways according to the need of the student.There was no set method or book.He would give 'empowerment' to his pupils, so that they were connected permanently to Reiki energy and also thay they could treat themselves in between appointments.
Along with his teaching, Mikao Usui gave some healing and he became well known in Japan for his healing abilities.
That is the military approached him to teach a quick healing system that could help the wounded as doctors in great shortage.Mikao taught the Imperial Officers a quick method using symbol to depict a different aspect of the energy.
It was a kind of 'short cut' and the Officers were certainly not interested in the spiritual aspect of Usui's method, they only wanted a fast pain relief method/medicine.
One of the Officer, Chujiro Hayashi wrote a little healing guide with hands positions and symbols to treat specific medical conditions.Later, he set up his own Reiki practice as a healing system.He also trained some people to the master level but oviously he was not Usui's Reiki as Hayashi had not spent time training with Usui like the other students.He only got taught enough Reiki so that he could heal other officers and certainly never had to the time to have grip and merge with the energy.
Hayashi would have heal a Mrs Hawayo Takata who in turned became a master Reiki. It was Hayashi's last student that he taught.
Mrs Takata then brought Reiki to the western world.But she had to change a lot of the Hayashi's version first of all so that it was accepted in the western world.She made up a few stories that Reiki came from Atlanta and emphasis that Reiki would not work without symbols in order to make Reiki accepted to the western world.
So when you learn Reiki it is most likely to be some different versions probably derived from Mrs Takata and Dr Hayashi and not the original Reiki in its simple form.

What happens during a Reiki treatment ?
You will ask to lay down on a couch fully clothed with a blanket on you if you feel like it.You would have removed your shoes to feel more comfortable as well as jewelries which might interfere with the flow of the energy.You might close your eyes and that is it, your journey will commence here.
The practitioner will have some relaxation music playing in the background and prepare him/herself for the session.
In the first 10 mm or so, you might think that nothing is happening much as the practitioner has to prepare a healing space to start with, then he/she will connect herself to the energy. I then need to connect and fuse with the client's energy, that is where i will gently apply my hands on your shoulders for some time.
After that , my hands will hover over your body intuitively and stop at some points where the energy is mostly needed. It is more likely that i start with the head, the chest and working my way down to the feet but there is no rules if my hands feel like treating the feet first that is where i will start or the plexus or the knees....

So what do you really feel when you receive a Reiki treatment ?
First of all, let me say that there is no rights and wrongs.There is no i must feel this or must feel that in order for the treatment to work. Whatever you feel or do not feel, the energy will reach you.
We are all different and we all receive the energy in a different way, so it is quite difficult to generalize what we really feel.
However, here are some common effects that people have experienced after a few treatment session.
We are all different and we all receive the energy in a different way, so it is quite difficult to generalize what we really feel.
However, here are some common effects that people have experienced after a few treatment session.
- The least you could experience is nothing.You fell asleep the whole treatment and you felt nothing. The energy would have still worked and you will feel relaxed.Maybe that is what you needed on that particular session.
- You may loose track of how much time has elapsed during the treatment, you might drift in and out of consciousness, you may snore too.
The most common thing to feel, is relaxation, deep relaxation.You probably feel so peaceful at the end of the treatment and a sense of being cleansed.As your body relaxes during the course of the treatment, your organs do relax too and it not uncommon to hear some stomach rumbling.It is just its way to relax.
Also, common, warm or heat coming out from the practitioner's hand as if you were under a lamp.Sometimes, people experience coldness but not often

- You might see some colours in front of your eyes...
- You might feel that you are floating or you might feel that you are in a different position...
- It is possible that you experience an emotion release.Reiki also works on the emotions and some feelings and emerge from the past.It will normally not last too long.
- Like other alternative medicine sometimes the symptoms can be aggravated during the treatment before suddenly vanishing away.
How many treatments should i get ?
Well really it is up to you how many times a week, a month, you would like some peaceful 'me' time, how many times can you take a step back, and escape this 'rushing' world and enjoy a relaxation session.
But i would say that five to six sessions at weekly intervals is a good start to eliminate stress, muscle and neck tension, anxiety, sleeplessness.Physical problems may take longer, but generally it all depends where the problems are rooted.
We must remember that the practitioner has not got the answers; he will create a healing place for you so that you are put in the best abilities to heal but the practitioner is only a channel and does not influence the healing. He can only direct it or push the energy in a certain direction.
