Reiki Master Symbols and the Art of Reiki

The Japanese art of Reiki Healing was first conceived by Mikao Usui in 1922, after a three week fast and meditation atop the Japanese Mount Kurama. Reiki combines elements of many alternative healing techniques; including auras, spiritual healing, meditation, and many more.

According to Mr. Usui, we all have what is known as life force energy within us and when our life force energy is low, that promotes negativity, stress, and allows diseases and injuries to occur. Therefore, through the use of Reiki Healing, we are able to restore our life force energy. The Reiki developed by Mr. Usui was more of philosophy on life and today specific elements have been adapted to be used during therapy sessions. This type of Reiki therapy was introduced to Western Civilization in the 1970’s and has since taken off and can be found all over the world.

There are two distinct types of modern Reiki Therapy, one involves the therapist touching the patient and the other requires the therapist to hover his hands above the patient. A typical Reiki Healing session begins with the patient laying on a soft, flat surface such as a couch or massage table. After a few moments of relaxation and meditation, the practitioner then proceeds to position his hands a few centimeters above the patient. The practitioner’s hands remain still for a few minutes and then he changes position.

The practitioner places his hands where he believes that particular patient’s life force energy is low. Reiki is useful in treating all types of illness’s including burns, cuts, diseases, mental disorders, reducing stress, and is even used to treat serious illnesses. Elements of Reiki Therapy are also used during meditation, aromatherapy, and crystal therapy.

Though it is debated whether Reiki is scientifically effective at healing, the millions of followers and thousands of people who have relied on its techniques for hundreds of years cannot be ignored.

The world of Reiki

Reiki Meditation ,

In this corporate world and hectic lifestyle, we hardly have any time to sit back and relax. Yes, we have money, power, position, family, travel plans and so on. But most of us do feel something is missing. Yes, there are some things left in the world that money cannot buy and that is the most difficult and important part of our life – connection with our heart and soul. We have everything in the world except for the inner peace and solitude that is pivotal. People take up meditation, yoga, travel in Himalayas and so on to feel connected to their inner heart and soul. Reiki is also one such way. The system and practice of Reiki helps you find the path to get connected to your inner self, be at peace with your soul and ultimately feel content and happy.

Reiki is basically the transfer of heat and energy from one body to another. It is an Eastern world practice and science which states that there is more than enough energy present in the universe. Utilization of this energy for healing purposes is the crux of Reiki. It is a natural healing technique whereby the person can treat himself or somebody else also through mere touches and not using any substance or material! All that is required is for the Reiki master to place his hands on the patient`s body and allow all the positive energies to flow from the Universe into the patients body. His hands act as a medium. A person can learn the science behind Reiki and get attuned to the energy flow and chakras of a body so that he can heal himself or even help others. There are mainly three levels of Reiki and a person can learn all of those:

First level – The student gets attuned to the energy cycles and the main reason behind this level is to teach the student to heal himself. The experts will teach you to channelize the energy flow in the right way through your body by just placing your palms in the right way. Reiki leads to a greater sense of balance between yourself and the Universe.
Second level – it is mainly for people who not just want to heal themselves but want to heal others. It is also called Distance Reiki. In this, the person is taught to heal others by physical touch and also heal others if they are geographically far away from you. A person sitting in New York can heal a person sitting in the San Fransisco Bay Area through rhythmic energy transfers.
Third level or the Masters level – In order to teach Reiki, one needs to be attuned completely and should ideally have years of practice. It is a massive commitment because it becomes your duty to teach others correctly and in a scientific manner.
When a person receives Reiki or gives it, they experience various things because all of a sudden there is either an inflow or outflow of energy! People usually experience calmness, peacefulness and happiness after receiving Reiki. In fact ailments like body aches, migraines, depression, mood swings and insomnia are cured over a period of time by Reiki Masters.
The best part is it has no side effects and the benefits are one a many! It does not cost much and uses all natural god given resources! What better way to connect with your mind, body and soul than using these universal natural energy flows?
