What Reiki Can Help

Physical~
Reiki treats the whole person, body, mind, emotions and spirit.
Physically, Reiki can be complementary to medical, dental, or psychological treatment, helping to reduce negative side effects from chemotherapy, surgery or invasive procedures. It can shorten healing time, reduce or eliminate pain, and remove energy blockages that interfere with sleep, and therefore healing.

Reiki can also help those who are in good health to stay that way. It helps to keep stress at a minimum, inhances the immune system and just helps to stay in a state of well being.

Mental~
Reiki promotes peace and a state of well being. It balances and harmonizes the entire system, and when the body is in balance, it can heal itself. It noticeably reduces stress which helps to create a more positive attitude. Most people experience deep relaxation which encourages healing on all levels. Being in a relaxed state allows the positive, healing energy to bring about well being.

Emotional~
Emotionally, A Reiki session can encourage one to let go of tension, fear, anxiety, or any other negative feeling. Reiki can help emotional trauma, or anyone going through a stressful situation. Reiki helps to clear and increase your life force energy and release any negative toxins, blockages or emotions. It has been called "A secret art of inviting happiness into your life."

And Spiritual~
In addition to the physical health benefits of Reiki, consider the spiritual benefits: Reiki and Yoga are both excellent practices to purify and cleanse the energy pathways in your body; the meridians, nadis and chakras, as well as the aura. This makes Reiki particularly interesting and beneficial to people who are working on personal and/or spiritual growth, and who desire to achieve higher states of consciousness and purify their energy channels.

Reiki, by flowing universal life force energy through your body's energy centers helps to cleanse and revitalize your own physical body. As your body releases blockages, toxins and impurities, Reiki goes on to find, break up and release negative thoughtforms that have become attached to your aura, or to your chakras. This eases the way to releasing old patterns of thought and behavior, learning to understand your inner self more deeply, release old karma, and achieve soul growth and evolution. For some, this moves quickly, and for others it happens over a longer course of sessions. Some of us have more stuff to clean up than others.

Reiki can never be used to cause harm because Reiki energy is guided by Divine Consciousness. And because Reiki is spiritually guided, the energy goes where it is needed most. Reiki can be used as a complementary technique for any medical treatment. Reiki is known to reduce side effects from surgery and speed the healing process, reduces negative affects from chemotherapy, reduces or elimates pain, reduces tension and creates an overall feeling of well being. If one can reduce the tension and stress of an illness, whether it is mental, emotional or physical, one can create an environment conducive to healing. One cannot heal if one is in a constant state of tension and stress. With Reiki, the vibration is raised and illness cannot live in that environment.

I think it is necessary to address expectations here, specifically which ones are reasonable, and which are unreasonable. Often, clients think that they will be completely healed after one Reiki session. While miracles and instant responses do occur, it is important to remember that we didn't get into a state of imbalance overnight. It may take several or many sessions before health is restored to the physical body. Happily, the benefits of Reiki increase tenfold after several sessions. And as improvement continues, the benefits continue to increase, as well as the speed with which we are able to see results. As blockages are removed from the invisible, (emotional, mental, spiritual levels) the changes move more quickly on the visible levels. Healing takes place on the different energy bodies and it takes a while for all the good, healing and positive energy in some to filter down into the physical body. And once improvement is evident, the negative energy that was removed must be replaced by the positive which usually means a lifestyle change in thinking, diet and/or situation.

Animals and every living being also respond to Reiki, because everything responds to Love. Dogs, cats, birds, horses, any living thing responds to loving, healing touch. And as a spiritually guided energy, motiovated by Love and Compassion, healing takes place on whatever level of being that is needed.

Reiki is being used in hospitals, Elder care, Hospice and in many other medically related fields. Insurance companies are starting to take a closer look at this incredible alternative therapy system because it is cutting down on patient recovery time, less pain and anxiety for the patient and fewer pain medications.
