If you have ever attended a Reiki healing session, then you know that the practitioner works by laying their hands upon the person they are treating. The Reiki practitioner then generates a large amount of positive energy and transfers it into the person they are treating. The transfer of energy is known as Reiki. In the West, Reiki is often called “life-force energy,” because it can be used to improve health and quality of life.
Reiki is an ancient Japanese style of energy healing, which also is a smaller sub-set of modern alternative medicine. Reiki practitioners usually use a method called palmsetting or hand-on healing through which they channel a “life force energy” directly into the patient. This is done by gently pressing the hands into the skin of the patient, or even just making contact with them. Reiki practitioners claim that by doing so, they are able to help their patients control their life forces, as well as channel their life-force energy more efficiently.
The Reiki practitioner does not have to be wearing any kind of jewelry, except for what may be called “life-force jewelry.” These are pieces of inexpensive cloth, which the practitioners carry in a purse or wear around the wrist. They don’t wear these “life-force jewelry” on the outside of their bodies, but on the inside. (The practice of using “life force jewelry” has become widely accepted in Europe, where the term “reiki” refers only to the treatment, without any mention of the spiritual roots.)
Reiki has a number of health benefits for those who receive it, and it’s important that anyone who is thinking of trying Reiki treatment to research the subject, and understand the health benefits. Although Reiki has no side effects, it is a healing procedure and should be treated that way. The practitioner of Reiki should be gentle, and understanding. They can cause an imbalance in the energy if they are being harsh, and they should be careful not to use too much force. They can also unintentionally cause distress or pain to a person who is already uncomfortable because of a physical condition.
There are many different types of Reiki, and practitioners of this healing art can perform them in ways that differ from each other. In general, however, a practitioner will perform a session of up to 15 minutes in order to achieve the intended results. During this time, they will focus on transferring energy from their hands to the patient, and they may also be required to relax their body so that greater access to the energy is possible. Some practitioners also believe in combining relaxation with the application of energy, so that it may be more effective. (They often recommend the placement of their hands on the body at the point where the energy is most blocked or weakest, in order to maximize the benefits.)
Reiki can have an adverse effect on some people, especially those who are susceptible to depression. Because of the many beneficial effects it has on the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual levels, it has become popular for people who suffer from depression and to those who would like to improve their moods. There are several different methods of Reiki that a person can learn in order to advance their abilities to a higher level of relaxation and to increase their effectiveness in the energy transfer. Many people find that the soothing quality of Reiki makes their moods much more positive and less depressive. Many people also feel that Reiki helps them to release stress more easily and to reduce any feelings of anxiety or anger. If you feel that you would benefit from this type of healing technique, there are many places that can teach you how to perform it safely.
