How does REIKI work?

Reiki is an energy that comes from the highest spiritual source. It has its own intelligence and knows exactly where to go and what to do. It is multi-dimensional and will heal the cause of a problem on whatever level it may exist - body, mind, or spirit. Because it is a channeled healing, the Reiki practitioner's energies are never depleted. In fact, when giving a treatment, the Reiki practitioner is healed as well and always experiences an increase in life-force energy. People that already do healing work report their healing energies increase after receiving Reiki training.

An Analogy:

Consider whenever a person goes outside to water the garden. S/he turns on the water tap, picks up the hose and focuses the nozzle of the hose towards the garden. The person isn't usually concerned with the water running out, nor with the possibility of anything foreign coming in through the sides of the hose. The person also doesn't worry about anything coming back up through the nozzle as the water pressure is too strong. While this person could just let the water run and it would work its way to all parts of the garden, s/he likes to direct the water to her/his favorite plants, then possibly the balance of the garden. However, if there is a part that is in greater need than the rest of the garden (like a very large vegetable), the water will accumulate more here, so as to balance the entire garden's water content. And it is usually quite obvious where these spots are, as more water gets absorbed here, than elsewhere.

The water can be thought of as the Reiki energy. It comes from a source outside of you, and seems to have no limit to its availability. The person is the Reiki practitioner. The hose is like the purified Reiki channel that is opened within the initiated Reiki practitioner. It is very pure and strong and nothing can penetrate it; i.e. your energy does not get mixed with the Reiki energy before it leaves you. The energy flows out the palms of your hands, your nozzles (as well as other chakras in the body), and the recipient's energy does not flow back into the practitioner (so you don't take on their energy).

The Reiki practitioner can just stay in one place projecting the energy on or towards the person who is receiving it, but typically moves around the body, starting with the recipient's head (just like watering the favorite flowers first). While the Reiki energy fills and surrounds the recipient's body with its gentle vibrations, if there are parts that require more balancing of energy (called energy blocks), the Reiki Energy will focus more in those places. The potential end result is a balancing of all the energy in the body and the aura. So in this way Reiki spreads into the emotional, mental and spiritual areas as well.

What can be treated or helped?

Healing disciplines like Reiki may be utilized by healthy people as a preventative method. However, Reiki may also be used to assist you in returning to a state of health. Reiki is both powerful and gentle. In its long history of use Reiki has aided in healing virtually every known illness and injury including serious problems like cancer and heart disease as well as skin problems, cuts, headaches, colds, sunburn, insect bites, insomnia, anxiety, depression, mood swings, etc. Reiki can also be used to relieve stress, to overcome unwanted habits, to achieve desired goals, and to protect from harm.
