This is an excerpt from my Reiki 1 training manual. It's a nice explanation of what Reiki is, where it comes from, and how it works. If you have any questions, PLEASE ASK!
REIKI - An Overview
Reiki is a completely self-contained, natural healing system; it is whole in and of itself, and acts synergistically with all other types of healing. Thus, Reiki does not conflict or interfere with any other healing method, but acts as a support; enhancing results and facilitating benefits. It assists the body in its own highest level of healing and wellness; speeding the healing process, and providing a source of restorative energy while one is ill, under medical treatment, or in recovery. As a source of universal healing energy, Reiki benefits all life forms: humans, animals, plants and other living forces.
Reiki is like breathing. Once it is activated, it is always with you. When an individual has been attuned to Reiki through initiation by a Reiki Master, they are permanently linked without the need of conscious alteration of the mind through meditation, prayer, or imaging.
Reiki is easy to learn and safe to use. Reiki is not an intellectual process. All that is required is attunement by a Reiki Master, an understanding of hand placements for treatment of self and others, and a willingness to be an open channel or conduit for this healing energy. Detachment from results and concern over whether or not you are ‘doing it right’ will assist in allowing the energy to flow freely through you. You cannot harm or make a mistake in the application of Reiki energy. The energy knows what to do; it will go where it is most needed.
Reiki is a technique for harmonizing and balancing natural energy. It restores, normalizes, balances and aligns the energy centers or chakras in the physical and finer bodies, while gently synchronizing and energizing vital meridians and acupuncture points. From a scientific point of view, Reiki is ‘non polarized’ subatomic energy that is released as a harmonic into energy blueprints (i.e. any living thing: the human body, plants, animals) which are in a state of disharmony. Once it leaves the subatomic dimension, Reiki must polarize because it is entering the physical, manifest world where it is acted upon by time. Because it is by nature a harmonic, it will polarize (i.e. take a wave pattern) and form a ‘mirror image’ of any disharmonious frequency within the energy blueprint. In this way, disturbance is unlayered, harmony and well being are restored, and the body’s natural ability to heal itself is accelerated.
Reiki is a powerful and natural system which unlocks the inner flow of vital energy within the sender and the receiver. It is a tool for use at any moment, any time, anywhere for on-the-spot energy, as well as stress and pain relief.
Reiki is neutral in its origin. It is not a religion. It contains no doctrines or creeds, and is not religious in nature. No matter where a person may be at any point in their life, Reiki will harmonize and embrace their philosophical center point. The practice and receipt of Reiki can be used as a powerful tool for personal development and spiritual enlightenment.
