How Reiki works

The Reiki healer acts as a channel for this life energy which the recipient of a Reiki treatment draws via the healer, activating the body's natural ability to heal itself.

Reiki goes to the deeper levels of a person's being, where many diseases have their origin. It works wherever it is most needed within the body, mind and spirit, releasing blocked energies, cleansing the body of toxins and working to create a state of balance.

Reiki reinforces the ability to take responsibility for ones life and helps to make the necessary changes in attitude and lifestyle to promote a happier and healthier life.

Channelling Reiki does not deplete the healer's own energy. It energises and revitalises. Anyone can channel Reiki, even children. The beauty of Reiki is its simplicity. You do not learn Reiki, you accept Reiki. It enhances and increases your natural ability to heal. Working with Reiki increases your self-awareness and accelerates your spiritual growth.

To be able to channel Reiki you need to attend a 1st Degree workshop which usually takes place over a weekend. During the workshop you will receive four attunements which clear the healing channels and enable the Life Force Energy to flow through you. The empowerment is there for life. You will also practise giving yourself and others healing treatments under the supervision of the Reiki Master.

Deep spiritual, emotional and physical adjustments are set in motion by the attunements to Reiki. Practising Reiki every day and honouring the principles as taught by Dr Usui fills your heart with the light of unconditional love for all. It is a gradual process like the unfolding of rose petals in the warmth of the sun.

After the workshop you will be able to channel the healing energy to those who wish to receive it and, more importantly, you will be able to work on yourself towards greater balance within.

When you have experienced the joy of Reiki in your life for some time you may wish to extend your healing capacity by attending a Second Degree workshop, also usually over a weekend. This includes two further attunements and the teaching of techniques for absent healing.

Reiki is a wonderful tool to help develop one's spiritual awareness and harmonise the body's natural energies. It may be the very key to enlightenment. As with most things in life, Reiki must be experienced to be properly appreciated.

When the time is right you will know Reiki to be a part of your spiritual path. When you make that commitment to yourself, choose your Reiki Master, choose with your heart, not your head, and your experience will be joyous!

May your exploration of Reiki be a joyous one!
