ReiKi

 

About

ReiKi is an energy alternative healing practice which aims to improve personal awareness and self-healing abilities. 

There are two ways to receive ReiKi, sessions and attunements.

 

Sessions

During a regular session the person lies down fully dressed, and the practitioner, after a short meditation to tune him/herself to the universal energies, positions their hands in correspondence to the energetic centers of the person receiving the session, to improve and restore balance.

The practitioners’ hands can touch the body, or just be placed at a few centimeters distance from the body.

During the treatment the person receiving the treatment can reach a deep relaxation or a state of meditation and could experience a series of particular sensations (unusual warmth, cold, tingling etc.) or emotional releases (crying, laughter, anger etc.), related to the energetic work. One hour and half hour sessions are available.

 

Aura regeneration

Big traumas, the use of drugs, living in polluted areas and other unbalancing events can bring relevant imbalances to the aura.

Sometimes a regular ReiKi treatment is not sufficient to restore the harmony of the aura and more specific treatment is needed.

The session lasts around an hour.

 

How does it work?

Reiki attunements improve the opening of the energetic channels and centers to allow the person to tune his/her personal energy Qi/Ki to the flow of universal energy Rei.

 

The consistent practice of meditation and other disciplines like yoga, tai chi etc., helps to keep a better personal balance.

 

When the practitioner offers a treatment to another person, the universal energy flows through and rebalances the personal energy of the person.

 

What is a very clear and simple explanation for an oriental person can be problematic for those of the western culture.

Concepts like life force/Qi or universal energy can be controversial even after the discoveries of quantum mechanics.

 

The studies of doctor Zimmerman and doctor Seto offer a possible scientific explanation. They observed that during a reiki session both the cerebral waves of the practitioner and those  of the receiver synchronize to the Alpha waves, characteristic of deep relaxation, analgesia and meditation.

These pulses are also in harmony with the geomagnetic field.

In following studies they discovered that the same frequency of waves could be tracked on the hands of the practitioners during a session. 

 

History

Reiki is constituted by a series of meditative practices  for personal awareness and self-healing which were rediscovered by the Japanese Master Mikao Usui at the beginning of 20th century. Reiki originates from traditional Chinese medicine, Shintoism and Taoism.
