Reiki Practitioner - Ponder Over Java

What is Reiki? It is a spiritual art of healing that heals a person from within using the divine energy that is in all of us and all around us. It is an alternative holistic healing of Japanese origin, addressing the mind, body, emotions and spirit of the person. The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words – Rei which means “God’s Wisdom or the Higher Power” and Ki which is “life force energy”. So Reiki is actually “spiritually guided life force energy.” Taken from https://www.reiki.org/faq/whatisreiki.html

The practitioner uses a divine healing which comes from God/Source/Universe (whichever your belief system is) to open the person’s energy fields in order to become balanced and create a sense of well-being. Reiki moves stagnant energy in the body by moving healing energy to the fields around the body to promote the healing process.

The practitioner can use a light touch or hover over areas of the patient’s body to activate the universal healing energy. Reiki helps with: stress, depression, eliminates blockages, ability to remember, heal unwanted habits, physical injury and reduces the pain, emotional pain, boost the immune system, promotes relaxation, improves mental attitude, and more. Many hospitals are now implementing Reiki sessions as a part of patient care to heal faster.

Reiki is not a religion as some may think, and it does not come from the devil (I mention this because I have both heard and read about people who believe this to be true.) The devil does not heal. The devil comes to steal, kill and destroy as the Bible says in John 10:10. Reiki may be similar to, but not the same as, the laying on of hands in the church. I am using this correlation to demonstrate Reiki from a perspective other than what you may have heard, or any preconceived ideas that have been instilled causing you fear that will hinder you from experiencing the many benefits Reiki has to offer.

How does distant Reiki work? Distant sessions are just as effective as if you were physically present with the practitioner. Because we, along with everything around us, are energy matter, we are all connected. I like to use a cellphone analogy as to how distant Reiki works.

Say the practitioner is a cellphone tower and the patient is the cellphone. The same way your cellphone produces a signal to find a tower, then the tower a signal to your phone, then they communicate with one another through frequency of the electromagnetic spectrum for your phone to connect and receive or make calls, text, etc… is similar to how Reiki energy is transferred through the airwaves. The process of using the cellphone analogy may be explained in much more detail and technical terms, however, I am using it briefly to give a description for a better understanding of how the distant Reiki process works.

What is involved in a Reiki session? Whether in-person or distant, the session will be the same other than the obvious which is in distant Reiki the patient is not present. The session will start with the patient and practitioner talking about anything that the patient would like worked on holistically. If present, this will be done face-to-face, then the patient will lie down on a massage table; if distant, the conversation will take place on the phone, then the call will disconnect, and the patient will lie down in a comfortable, quiet room in their home with no interruptions. In the case of distance, the practitioner will use a picture of the person or a surrogate. The practitioner will then set intentions and say a prayer for the Reiki to work in the highest good for the patient and the session will begin. After the session is over, the practitioner and patient will talk about anything that was experienced during the session.
