How to Heal With Reiki

How to Heal With Reiki



Reiki can be a powerful way to heal, whether your wounds are physical, emotional or spiritual. Reiki is like having a spiritual massage, but the power of Reiki runs much deeper. By setting an intention before each Reiki session, a person can direct energy toward the areas that need healing. Reiki is also a great way to help heal a person who has difficulty with being touched because no physical contact is required in order to receive Reiki. Here is how to heal with Reiki.







Things You'll Need:





Intention (an idea of what you would like to heal in each session)




Reiki master









1


Understand what Reiki is. Reiki is a Japanese technique to relieve stress as well as promote relaxation and healing. A Reiki master places his hands either on or near your body to channel energy into your spirit. Reiki is never harmful. Reiki is simply a flow of positive energy that has the power to heal a person’s physical, emotional or spiritual wounds.





2


Find a Reiki master. You will be working closely with your Reiki master, so try to find one that you trust. Ask yourself if you can consider opening up to this person about the areas in your life that need healing. To find a Reiki master, contact local spas or yoga studios and ask for a referral.





3


Set boundaries for where you want to be touched. Reiki does not have to involve touching because the Reiki master is connecting with your aura, which is around your body. However, some Reiki masters will touch your body lightly in various (non-private) places throughout the session. If you do not want to be touched in certain places, tell your Reiki master ahead of time.





4


Talk to the Reiki master about your issues. If you feel comfortable doing so, tell your Reiki master about the areas in your life that need healing. This will enable your Reiki master to offer suggestions for intentions and might even help the Reiki master to track your healing progress.





5


Decide upon an intention for each session. Reiki is a flow of healing energy, and that healing energy can go many places. Decide where you want it to go--your “intention”--before each session. For example, do you want to let go of past hurts or anger? Do you want to feel present in your body? Do you want to heal a physical ailment? If you cannot decide, your intention can always be “for my greatest good.”





6


Listen to what the Reiki master tells you. Sometimes the Reiki master might “see” things that speak to you. For example, he might “see” a little child curled up in a ball looking frightened. This might be your inner child needing your love and attention. Or the Reiki master might feel a lot of heat generating from your liver. This could be a sign of your need to work on processing anger.





7


Go to multiple sessions. Reiki is not going to be able to heal all of your wounds in one session. However, with repeated sessions, you will be able to heal on deeper and deeper levels.








Tips & Warnings










Sometimes Reiki releases negative energy that manifests itself by making you need to use the bathroom. Tell the Reiki master if you need to take a bathroom break during the Reiki session.








Reiki is never harmful. Reiki is simply a flow of positive energy that has the power to heal a person’s physical, emotional, or spiritual wounds.
