Can You Learn Reiki? Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation
that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and
is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us
and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low,
then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high,
we are more capable of being happy and healthy.
A treatment feels
like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you.
Reiki healing treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and
spirit, creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and
feelings of peace, security and wellbeing. Many have reported miraculous
results.
Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual
healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. It has been
effective in helping virtually every known illness and malady and always
creates a beneficial effect. It also works in conjunction with all
other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and
promote recovery.
Amazingly simple to learn, the ability to use Reiki is not taught in the usual sense, but is transferred to the student during an "attunement" given by a Reiki master and allows the student to tap into an unlimited supply of "life force energy" to improve one's health and enhance the quality of life. Its' use is not dependent on one's intellectual capacity or spiritual development and is therefore available to everyone. It has been successfully taught to thousands of people of all ages and backgrounds.
While Reiki is spiritual in
nature, it is not a religion and there is nothing you must believe in
order to learn and use Reiki. In fact, Reiki is not dependent on belief
at all and will work whether you believe in it or not. Because Reiki
comes from God, many people find that using Reiki puts them more in
touch with the experience of their religion rather than having only an
intellectual concept of it.
