Natural Relief From A Reiki Healer

By Beverly C. Ralph


Natural, alternative and homeopathic genres of healing are becoming increasingly popular. It may be that they are non-invasive, pain free and do not have unsavory side effects that make them attractive to so many. Session with a reiki healer could be very beneficial to people with a variety of conditions.

This Japanese healing technique is centered around the idea that it is possible to harness one's spirit power and use it for beneficial means. The name is comprised of two separate words, Rei and Ki, which represent "higher power of universal life" and "energy". When they are combined, the definition changes slightly to mean "life force energy", that power believed to allow a person's body and soul to heal itself.

While the practice is spiritual in its nature, it is not at all religious based and has no association with a particular belief system. There is no dogma that must be followed in order to use this technique. A person does not even have to believe in the power of energy transference in order for it to work.

A session typically lasts between 60-90 minutes during which time the client rests comfortably in a chair or laying on their back upon a table. They start by discussing their particular issues with the practitioner and explaining to them what they hope to achieve with this healing. This gives the therapist a better idea of where to focus the energy they will be transferring.

It is generally suggested that the client wear loose, comfortable, non binding or restricting clothing to the session. The individual will always remain completely clothed, though the lighter the garments are, the more easily the energy exchange tends to go. There is rarely any physical contact between the practitioner and the client, though at times very light touches may be necessary.

The session continues with the practitioner starting at either the client's head or their feet and performing a routine set of hand positions. The purpose of these is to direct their energy into the individual in a way which relaxes them and balances the chakras. Once that has been accomplished, it is easier to focus and target the specific issues.

This practice does not claim to be a cure for any diseases or illness, though it is used to treat many conditions. These include stress, anxiety, insomnia, high blood pressure, pain, headaches, asthma, addiction and detoxification. Many people find this technique quite useful in dealing with, and overcoming, a variety of mental and physical maladies.
