Psychotherapy – Is It Right For You?
What Is It?
Reiki, pronounced Rei (ray) and Ki (key), is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by “laying on hands” in which hands are placed just off the body or lightly touching the body, or by “long-distance” when applied with Hypnosis. (See my blog, Hypnosis In The Age of Zoom)
It is based on the idea that an unseen “universal 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.
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.
How Does It Work?
In a Reiki session, the practitioner is seeking to transmit Universal Life Force Energy to the client. The intention is to create deep relaxation, to help speed healing, reduce pain, and decrease other symptoms you may be experiencing.
Its use is not dependent on one’s intellectual capacity or spiritual development and therefore is available to everyone. It has been successfully taught to thousands of people of all ages and backgrounds.
Spiritual Harmony
While Reiki is not a religion, it is still important to live and act in a way that promotes harmony with others. Mikao Usui, the founder of the Reiki system of natural healing, recommended that one practice certain simple ethical ideals to promote peace and harmony, which are nearly universal across all cultures.
Their purpose is to help people realize that healing the spirit by consciously deciding to improve oneself is a necessary part of the Reiki healing experience. In order for the Reiki healing energies to have lasting results, the client must accept responsibility for her or his healing and take an active part in it.
