What Is Reiki? The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei which means "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power" and Ki which is "life force energy". So Reiki is actually "spiritually guided life force energy." Understanding Energy Work A type of energy bodywork, reiki (pronounced ray-key) relies on the ancient belief in the life force energy, referred to as chi, that flows through all things. This life force runs throughout pathways in the body called meridians, nourishing organs and cells and supporting vital functions. When this energy is disrupted by negative thoughts, feelings or actions, illness and disease result. A reiki practitioner's hands hover just above a person's body, sensing the affected areas and infusing them with positive flow. This raises the energetic vibration and breaks up the negativity to heal, clear and restore the natural flow of the life force. The reiki practitioner, trained to access and serve as a channel for the life energy, places his hands on or just above the client's body and uses a passive touch that some clients experience with warmth or tingling. The hands remain in position for 3-5 minutes, alternately covering 10-12 positions over the body. Thought to be Tibetan Buddhist in origin, the practice of reiki is comprised of three levels of training. Through this training, the practitioner learns how to access energy flow through the hands to heal. Completion of the third and highest level of training results in the title of reiki master. Reiki is used to accelerate healing, assist the body in cleansing toxins, balance the flow of subtle energy by releasing blockages, and help the client contact the healer within. According to Reiki.org, reiki is beginning to gain acceptance as a meaningful and cost-effective way to improve patient care in hospitals and clinics across America. In an interview on the website, Dr. David Guillion, an oncologist at Marin General Hospital in California, says, "I feel we need to do whatever is in our power to help the patient. We provide state of the art medicine in our office, but healing is a multidimensional process. I endorse the idea that there is a potential healing that can take place utilizing energy." For more information, consult your bodywork practitioner. Furtermore, Reiki is a simple and powerful form of healing. Energy is drawn from the unlimited supply of universal energy and is drawn down through the hands and is directed to wherever the body needs it to go. Reiki works within the physical, emotional and spiritual body seeking out the source of dis- ease or imbalance in the body, and helping to re align it bringing back a state of balance. |

The History of Reiki |
|
Rediscovery of Reiki is attributed to Dr Mikao Usui in the mid 1800's. There is much debate about how Usui came to discover Reiki, and different religions claim him as one of theirs. However most Reiki practitioners accept a non-denominational explanation of Reiki healing, although it is a deeply spiritual practice. Usui's image is often used in Reiki groups and treatment rooms as a source of inspiration. There is a strict code of ethics to be adhered to in the practice of Reiki. In order to keep the healing art pure and true to the intentions of Usui himself, he developed a set of principles which he expected Reiki practitioners to live by which is written below. |

ENERGY WORK FOR ANIMALS Since Reiki has proven so successful on humans, many people are now turning to Reiki for their animal companions. Reiki works on animals in the same way that it works on people. It is used to realign or remove a blockage of the chakra(s) which alleviates and eliminates pain and ailments resulting in a more positive and happier animal. Procedure When working on animals there is no preference in whether the animal is standing, sitting or lying down. The practitioner "lays hands" on the animal finding a receptive position. This position is where the animal is most comfortable. Animals, being so receptive of energy immediately feel the change. The reaction and treatment time of the animal differs from animal to animal, treatment to treatment. Animals experience different reactions to the Reiki treatment. Some of the reactions include drooling, quivering lip, muscle twitches, relaxation, sleepiness and hyperactivity. Treatments involving animals rarely last as long as human sessions; they absorb Reiki energy a lot easier than we humans do. Usually, they will not sit still for an entire session - rather they receive Reiki for a few minutes, then wander off, only returning again a few more times for more healing. *Horses* Horses in particular are extremely receptive to Reiki and benefit from the treatment in numerous ways. Many owners/riders/trainers are using Reiki before and after workouts. Once introduced to Reiki, horses seem to be ready and willing to receive the energy. On occassion a horse will give a strange look as to be asking "what is that?" and almost always seem to show signs of the energy at work. Procedure A Reiki Practitioner will usually start by "laying hands" on the most acceptable part of the horses body. Usually, it is the back, shoulders or neck. The horse will feel the energy change and very often will push his body into the hands. It is very common that the horse will begin to lower his head and you could feel a difference in the respiratory rate. His eyes will usually begin to close and his head will continue to get lower. Often the lower lip will droop and quiver, he will lick, yawn and sometimes drool. It seems to give the effect of a sedation. After treatment, the horse usually exhibits a boost of energy and playfulness. Reiki for animals is a gentle, non-invasive form of healing that works with your animal's energy system to restore balance and improve energy flow. It is used to complement traditional veterinary care and can be used concurrently with other healing modalities. Reiki is also very useful for alleviating your animal's pain or stress. Beneficial for the Treatment of: Behavioral Problems Depression Injuries Lethargy Trauma Stress It is very common to treat specific conditions such as: aggression, sweet itch, agoraphobia, mud fever, founder and many more. It is very beneficial for mares in foal and during birthing. Also, Reiki can help with overall performance and stamina for working horses. Always remember that a veterinarian should be seen for all injuries and ailments and Reiki treatments will aid in the healing process. |

"Quantum-Touch is a significant breakthrough in hands-on-healing... most elegant and most efficient..., For professionals and lay people alike, Quantum-Touch is an essential and invaluable tool." -- Alternative Medicine Magazine I read the book, Quantum-Touch, in one day and I just could not wait to try all the new stuff I learned. I had been learning Qigong for a couple months so I could already feel the life force (chi) or whatever you may call it. I dove right into QT with love and excitement. That night I asked my husband if he was hurting anywhere? He had cut his finger and his back hurt. So, I went to work. This was my first session. I relaxed, gathered myself together, and did some warm-up's (toning and vortexing). I cupped his finger lightly and tried to feel the life force. This was a bit hard and he was laughing a bit so I decided to work on his back. I had him lay down again did my warm-ups. I totally relaxed, laying my head by his side. I asked him to tell me if the pain moved or what sensations he had. He soon told me it was in his shoulder. I moved up and sandwiched the shoulder. After a minute or two I sandwiched the other shoulder just to keep balance. I was done with my first session after only about eight minutes. I was amazed that his back was feeling better. I had a hard time believing I could have done this right. So I went to my best friend’s house the next day (yesterday). She was lazily lying down on the couch lazy as always, and complaining of a headache. She is a skeptic and laughs about most the stuff I tell her. I swept her legs and had her turn over on the couch with her head resting upon a pillow. I placed my thumbs lightly on that spot on the back of her neck and my finger tips lightly on her head, while remembering to do the breathing. This session was only for about five minutes, but after I got up because her baby had awakened on the monitor, she turned over and said "Wow, dude, you’re magic" She got up, said her headache was a lot better and started cleaning which she never does. Twenty minutes later her headache was all better. I still can barely believe it but there it is! This is a true story. I want to thank Richard Gordon and everyone who helped publish the book Quantum-Touch, (http://www.quantumtouch.com/QT_Covers.php) and for making it so easy to perceive and believe. Thank you thank you thank you Peace, light and love to all Mrs.D * For more information go to Quantum Touch.Com |
