Energy healing is the basic purpose of Reiki. Reiki uses the idea of the life force energy flowing in our bodies. It aims to clear and clean the channels of chakras and harness our inherent power. For Reiki, healing the self also helps in healing the world. Ultimately it would redound to healing the whole cosmos.

What is Reiki? Reiki is an ancient Japanese method of spiritual healing that entails the use of the “universal life energy” in healing oneself. It believes that the life force energy in the body is the source of the power we need to conduct our daily lives. Basically, it gives life to cells and organs that support the daily essential functioning of the physical body. In its derivative sense, Reiki means “spiritually guided life force”.

How is spiritual healing possible? Reiki healing may be performed by any Reiki master or practitioner. They know certain hand positions that directly points to several centers of energy we call chakras. The healing begins when the practitioner puts his/her hands on the body. The positive energy comes flowing through the channel of healing, i.e., the Reiki master. Now, this life force energy is said to have a mind of its own. This means that it goes to the part of the body where healing is exactly needed.

The constant flow of positive energy is essential to the normal functioning of beings. The disruption in the natural and healthy flow of chakras happens when we begin to harbor negative thoughts and emotions. The negative thoughts and emotions attach themselves to the channels of our energy centers or what we call chakras. This creates blockages and weakens the supply of our life force energy.

And so, what energy healing does is to clear and clean these pathways of life energy. The channels where the negative energy attached itself will be charged with positive energy in order to break down the blockages. This happens when the Reiki master initiates a positive flow of energy while increasing the vibratory level in these channels.

What are the uses of energy healing? Reiki healing keeps you constantly away from the propensity to be ill. It focuses not only on physical wellness but also on the spiritual growth. It promotes a natural way to achieving the total wellbeing of a person.

In fact, some of the benefits of energy healing are: Assuring natural and healthy flow energy in your chakras. Clearing and cleaning the blockages in your energy channels support a constant flow of positive energy in your system. Increasing your life force reserves. Keeps you up with daily functioning and leads you to a total wellness. With the everyday struggle and stress, one needs to make sure that his/her wellness is not compromised. One can actually direct a constant flow of energy healing to oneself.

There is a point in time that people will come to think about the development that we have made. The world, with the vast continents and waters that make it, is unlike any other. The progress can be envied by ancient wisdom for it is in a continuous growth by succeeding against the odds while making history. The only flaw here is that despite the grand civilization that we have now, our people have lost a sense of spirit and of the self.

The spiritual man in each of us is strongly fighting for our attention. Every single day is we are filled with stress and pressure. The brain will never stop working, even at sleep. And even the ordinary man that more than stress from the office or at home, we have deeper concerns-that which we call LIFE.

To heal the inner soul, we need to strengthen the will of the heart. We need to develop a conscientious mind. And if modern Science could not heal certain illnesses, Reiki can. Reiki is a Japanese ancient secret of energy healing that reconnects the thread between man and the spiritual being in him. Through the energy of the universe, this thread is realigned to the energy around him to promote harmony between man and nature. We all have inherent energies and there is a great need to harness them in able to allow health and of wellbeing.

Reiki, as an alternative medicine, channels man’s energy to the energy of the universe and creates harmony between the two. The reiki master will become the mediator between man’s energy and the universal powers so that happiness and contentment will be achieved. During the first step, which is called the attunement process, the master must first pass on the healing symbols. In the art of learning Reiki, the chakras of the body or the seven energy centers are realigned to promote the smooth flow of the natural energies inside us.

In order to realign the chakras, energy healing is involved. To do this, meditation and healing massage sessions are done. Meditation is needed to gain total control of the body and develop our connections and find inner peace. The healing massage must be given by a professional massage therapist who is adept with the correct ways of practicing Reiki. As you will come to know, Reiki, though centered on the spiritual self, promotes the total transformation of man.

Reiki is completely safe as an alternative medicine because it promotes natural ways of healing. It energizes the soul while touching the inner you in order to promote a complete healing of the total body. As you develop the self, you will gain a sense of happiness, contentment and fulfillment. You will be able to forget the worries and stress that you currently feel, in an instant. Everybody needs to pause, even for a little while. Your life is about to change in a single visit to the Reiki master. Believe you can fight the odds and be born again. Life can never be better after undergoing the process of the alternative medicine called Reiki.

Western medicine has developed significantly through the years that now it is impossible to contest or even question its basic premises. We have come a long way that it is theoretically possible to clone a person, create a super being, and even make a real dinosaur live through genetic technology.

When in the past, humanity has been plagued by virus and bacteria such as the Black Death, the yellow fever, and other epidemics that killed thousands, now we can say that we are in full control of even the smallest strain of virus and bacteria. Lifespan has significantly increased and health care has really improved so that we have actually been dependent on the solutions that modern medicine provides. In fact, western medicine has been so proud even to the point of ridiculing various types of alternative medicine such as massage, meditation, energy healing and many others.

The truth of the matter is that modern medicine is highly one sided on the physical aspect alone. Yes we have discovered cures to bacteria, but an evil society that knows the ins and outs of viruses can use this as a form of biological warfare. This is a social aspect of disease which modern medicine has no cure. Yes we have so many antibiotics, but it also created a lot of strains resistant to antibiotics that the world has ended up having more types of diseases than before. How about stress? This topic is written all over literature but modern medicine only has cures for the symptoms of stress and not the stress itself. The fact is, modern medicine has gone a long way but left the most important passengers in the rain-spirituality, psychological wellbeing, emotional health, mental peace. These important passengers eventually take their effects on the body and result in disease. This is where alternative medicine comes in.

In fact, the sickness of modern man is so prevalent and so obvious that modern medicine has yet to put a name to-spiritual emptiness, loneliness, lack of gusto, depression, low morale, stress. These are so prevalent in modern societies so that modern medicine relegates these to the realm of psychology. For example, in the East, there is the concept of the seven energy centers of man which are called chakras. Modern medicine has no name for this and so therefore has no tool to understanding these most important concepts. Profound meditation is sometimes reclassified by modern medicine as simply relaxation and stress management when there is infinitely more to it than what meets the eye. The concept of energy healing which is so prevalent in the East has no western counterpart. For example, the concept of Chi which is central to the age-old practice of acupuncture escapes western investigations. In China, they can operate a major surgery using only acupuncture needles to ease the pain. Yet Western Medicine has neither word nor definition for this type of phenomenon.

Western medicine has not even factored the role of emotion in disease. In fact, everybody knows that emotion can be felt physically such as happiness, love, depression and others. Yet modern medicine cannot and will not analyze that. It is limited only to analyzing the physical aspects.

In Japan, a Reiki master can intuitively assess all the aspects of disease present in the person. He then applies energy coming from a mystically source to clean the body of disease and bring back health and wellbeing. Much to modern medicine’s surprise, some diseases considered as hopeless have been miraculously healed.
