About Reiki Energy Healing

Reiki: Universal, Spirit-Drive Energy Healing

An intelligent Spirit-directed life force (personal and Universal) flows through all life (humans, plants, animals, and the Earth itself). This is the energy that “animates” all life on this planet (in this Universe). It is the vibrational core of the what Shamans refer to as “The Web of Life.” 

What is currently referred to under the Japanese name of “Reiki” is a Universal, Spirit-driven energy healing modality; it is an ancient system that transcends all time and places; it is an innate ability resting within the hearts, minds and souls of all of us. Regardless of what the energy healing system is called – or has been called throughout the Millenia, it is a power resting within a “positive possibility” dormant state until reawakened – until we remember, once again, who we are and why we are here on this Earth at this time and place.  

Specifically, the tenets of that which is now called Reiki asserts that all life, as energy, seeks balance within its internal environmental (the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual body) and harmony within its external environment. When life is in balance and in harmony (when energy is flowing “perfectly”), there is health and vitality. When life is out of balance and/or is experiencing disharmony (when energy is “blocked” or “weak”), there is space for illness and dis-ease. 

In people, this Spirit-directed life-force energy flows around us in a field of energy called the “aura” (the energy field that surrounds and penetrates the body) and within the physical body through pathways called “chakras” (energy centers that transform energy between the different levels of the body – the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual levels). This life force plays a major role in everything we do, think, feel, and experience in life – it is at the core of a positive “Energy2Matter” (E2M) existence.  

Energy comes in a variety of forms, including electrical, chemical, light, magnetic, mechanical and nuclear. Reiki energy is called “subtle” energy, and it works on the energy field that surrounds all life – also called biomagnetic or electromagnetic energy. [This subtle energy can be measured by scientists with a superconducting quantum interference device (SQIUD). As Einstein pointed out, energy is equal to matter (E=MC2), so the body, which you can see, feel and touch, is matter AND it is energy, which you cannot see, feel, or touch.] 

All disease is the result of imbalances in a person’s energy system. This imbalance, caused by an energy block or the stagnation of energy, ultimately manifests as pain or disease. 

Simply put, Reiki is an intelligent Spirit-guided life-force energy that restores balance and harmony in humans, plants, and animals (basically, all life).  

Naturally. 

The modern practice of “channeling” this Spirit-guided life-force energy known under the name “Reiki” comes from Japan (as developed by Mikao Usui in the early 1900s). However, the flow of balancing, healing energy has been available to all life, and the channeling of this flow has been practiced with healing intent by all cultures on all continents, since ancient times. (It is even mentioned, as “hands-on healing” in the New Testament of The Bible, 1Timothy 4:14-15 reads: Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy with the laying on of the hands… Meditate on these things; give yourself entirely to them, that your progress may be evident to all.) 

As a restorative, healing energy, Reiki can flow through a “hands-on” experience (with a Reiki practitioner lightly placing their hands on the body) or through “distance” healing. Either way, and in equal fashion, the energy flows in the right amount to the right place, right as Spirit intends. It is all energy. Healing “energy” in turn heals all “matter.” 

Reiki offers a natural, gentle and safe way of clearing and strengthening energy, thereby stimulating the immune system and the body’s own ability to heal and overcome stress, pain, illness and disease – helping people “matter” in a healthy, vibrant way in the “now.” Reiki, which restores balance and harmony, is always beneficial. Reiki treats the whole person – the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual being.   

Reiki is never “contraindicated” and can be used alone or in combination with other healing practices. As a healing modality, Reiki is always positive (no harm can come from it) and intelligent (the healing energy flows to where it is needed – on the physical, mental, emotional and/or spiritual subtle energy bodies – even if the Reiki Practitioner and the recipient do not consciously know where it is needed). Reiki is Spirit (God, Great Spirit, Creator, Universe, a Rose by any other Name) directed. Reiki, however, is not affiliated with any particular religion or religious practice, and is not based on faith, specific beliefs, or suggestion (and actually transcends most religions). 

Anyone, of any belief system, can benefit from the use Reiki.  

Reiki, as an alternative complementary healing modality, is practiced around the world in many settings, including hospitals, hospices, veterinary clinics, and in private practices. It has been used to aid in healing virtually every known illness and injury, including serious diseases like multiple sclerosis, heart disease, fibromyalgia, arthritis, and cancer.  It can also be used regularly for common ailments, such as headaches, colds, flu, sore throats, and everyday aches and pains. It can also be used for stress reduction and relaxation.   

Everyone has a healing “power” within us that we can call upon at any time. We instinctually and automatically use this energy when we are in pain. When we are hurt, we immediately place our hands upon the injured area to ease the pain. We know innately that something in our hands makes us feel better. This “something” is our own natural healing energy – our personal life-force energy. However, this has limited healing abilities and can be depleted. In contrast, Reiki calls upon an intelligent Universal life-force energy that cannot be depleted. When Reiki is used for healing, it ADDS to the energy of the Reiki Practitioner as well as the person being healed. 

The knowledge that an unseen energy (vibrating energy) flows through all living things at all times, and is connected to the quality of heal has been part of the wisdom of many cultures since ancient times. It has also been verified by scientific experiments and even medical doctors are finally now considering the role it plays in the functioning of the immune system and the overall healing process.  

If our “life force” is low, or if there is a restriction in its flow, we are vulnerable to diminished function in one or more of the organs and tissues of the physical body, leading to disease and illness. When it is high and flowing freely, we are strengthened in our physical bodies and thus more “immune” to illness and disease.

This life force plays a major role in everything we do, think, feel, and experience in life. It “animates” our existence on this planet (as well as the planet itself). It is just as responsive to thoughts and feelings (our mental, emotional and spiritual bodies) as it is to our physical bodies. Thus, it can become disrupted when we accept, either consciously or unconsciously, negative thoughts and feelings about ourselves and others.  

We are much more than just our physical body. We are also comprised of a mental, emotional and spiritual body. To heal at the deepest level possible, we need to work through all of these bodies. How we “feel” emotionally and how we “think” affects every aspect of our being and Reiki works on all of these levels for a deeper healing. 

This “negative energy” attaches itself to our energy fields (physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually) and causes a disruption in the flow of life force. This diminishes, in turn, the vital function of the organs and cells of the physical body. Reiki heals by flowing through the affected parts of the energy field and charges them with positive energy. It raises the vibratory level of the energy field in and around the physical body where the negativity is attached. This causes the energy to break apart and fall away. In so doing, Reiki clears, straightens, and heals the energy pathways through the aura, chakras and corresponding physical body – allowing the life force to flow in a healthy, positive and very natural way. Disorders that manifest in the physical body have their origin in dis-ease in our emotional or mental body. If these energy disorders are not treated at this level, then they manifest in the physical body.  

Allopathic medical treatments (our Western medical system), only target the physical body. This system does not, as of yet, address the underlying origin of disease, considering a person’s “mental” and “emotional” body as unrelated to the problem at hand (which is why the medicine only treats the symptom of the real problem). To effect a real cure, a real healing, a person’s entire energy system must be targeted in a balanced way. In order to truly be healed, a person must be willing to investigate the reasons behind the illness and to change things that have not served their existence and their “being” here. Reiki greatly aids this process, by uncovering emotional and mental energy blocks that are causing an imbalance in the overall system. 

And, yes, Reiki energy can be used with animals – our dearest companions. Animals are far more “pure” when it comes to experiencing energy. They are innately loving beings (even if some in the wild seem a bit ferocious when compared to our beloved “domesticated” dogs and cats). They receive Reiki energy with a true heart of knowing and being and loving and receiving. Reiki can be used to soothe, heal, and comfort animals – and if Reiki were used for no other purpose than to heal our earthly companions (and our Earth itself, of course) it would be the greatest gift humans could ever “convey” to life.  

In summary:  

Reiki, simply put, is an intelligent Spirit-guided life force energy that restores balance and harmony, thereby increasing physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. 

Reiki can flow anytime or anywhere, for self-healing or for the healing of others (including animals, plants, and our planet).

Reiki can help with:

· physical pain relief;

· stress relief;

· emotional/mental healing and balancing;

· deep relaxation;

· fatigue; and

· general, and specific, physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual imbalances in people, places, animals, plants, and even situations.  

Reiki flows:

· through the chakras;

· through energy blocks to help remove them;

· in order to bring up emotional issues so they can be released; and

· in order to allow people to grow emotionally and spiritually, if they desire.

Reiki can help when a person is dealing with pain or illness by:

·  providing a “break” from the pain

·  enhancing the healing effects (and reducing the side-effects) of any medications (conventional and/or alternative)

·  reducing the time necessary for healing after a surgery

·  promoting the body’s own internal healing abilities.

At this time, Kristina is only doing in-person Reiki healing sessions in the Denver/Boulder, Colorado area. She is, however, providing one-on-one online Reiki Practitioner Training (Level 1 through 3/Master).
