Reiki Basics

Updated: Nov 4, 2021

You might know a little bit about Reiki Energy and Healing by now,

If not, I recommend you start by reading my "What Is Reiki?" post.


In this post I am going to break it down a little bit more into how it work

And how you can make it work for you.


Here is the video link if you'd like to watch instead of read:



Rei-Ki


The word translates from Japanese to mean "Universal Life Force"

It is a frequency or energy that exists all around us and can be accessed at any time.


Reiki Practitioners or Healers are trained and attuned with the energy and dedicate their learning and practice to understanding how to work with it to help heal others.

This does not mean reiki energy is only accessible to them.


Anyone can work with healing energy and train to become an energy healer

But a healer like myself has just put in the time and energy to hone the skill.

It's like, anyone can kick a soccer ball, but a fewer play soccer professionally.


Life Force is also known as "Ki" in Japanese, or "Chi" in Chinese. It is the energy and frequency that constitutes our health and vibrancy. It vibrates through every single one of our cells, through our thoughts, skin, everything, even extending past our bodies to create our electromagnetic field or aura.



The frequency of things is on a scale, from high to low.

If you have low frequency or Life Force, you have dis-ease, illness, or emotional distress

(You can read more about frequency here )


Just like acupuncture, Reiki is about accessing your innate and personal energy field, releasing blocks or toxic energies, and increasing your Life Force.


High Life Force energy brings elevated emotions like Joy and Happiness, it allows you to feel more easy going and connected to the world around you, it increases your physical health, and attracts other high vibrational things to your experience (think manifesting)



RAISE YOUR VIBE


So all that sounds amazing I am sure, but how exactly does Reiki move energy around and raise your frequency?


First, it activates your parasympathetic nervous system.

Fight-Flight-Freeze is the job of the autonomic nervous system. Many of us are living under chronic stress and anxiety, which puts our body in hyper drive NON -STOP.

While this system is effective and helpful in extreme situations, we don't need to be chronically stressed about how Jane from work really feels about that email we sent, or whether or not our dog barks while we are away, or how we don't make enough money to live comfortably (if fact stressing on these things only keeps you in a low-vibrational attractor mode).

Being constantly anxious wears our heart down faster, causes chronic pain and hardening of our soft tissues, ages us extraordinarily fast, causes cells mutations, and inflammation. When our body is in autonomic nervous system drive, we don't activate our own parasympathetic nervous system. The later is associated with Rest and Digest, or Repair and No Despair.


Your body can actually heal itself, extremely well at that! the issue is that we never give it a fighting chance.


Reiki and Energy Healing helps with that.


Studies have shown that Reiki activates this rest and repair nervous system.

It gets our Life force energy moving correctly and releases blockages from emotional imprints and other negative frequencies we accumulate throughout our life and day.








QUANTUM FIELD


Now I am sure you have decided you might need some Reiki in your life.


Two Things:

  1. It can be done from any distance or virtually

  2. You can do some on yourself

Quantum Mechanics says everything is connected all the time

(Yes, it is time you updated your perception of science since middle school)


Don't believe it?

If you look at the night sky through an Optical telescope (optical meaning mimicking our eye) you will see a bunch or tiny white light tinkling in the sky.

BUT, if you look through an energy measuring telescope what you see looks more like a web, every star has an energetic connection to every other star in the sky.


We are all connected to everything by the innate energy field that makes us up.


This is what Energy Healers are connecting to when delivering a healing.

Years of training and practice has made me sensitive to the energies and connections, and allows me and others to connect to this field for a healing.


Meditation and Practice ensure a more clear connection

Creativity and Imagination ensure you know what to do to facilitate healing when there.


"But how do I connect to this infinite field??"

Have no fear, you are, at all times.

The question is more about you learning to sense the field and how to work with it.


If you want to start working with this energy from home,

Just use your hands and your imagination to direct the healing or intention.

(Like placing your hand over your stomach to increase vitality, seeing a bright white light in your hand and healing you from within)



IN SUMMARY


Reiki can be accessed by anyone at anytime.

It is Universal Life Force.

Realizing we are all connected by this Energy and Life Force is half the battle.

Your body and higher consciousness will guide the healing when you access it.

More Meditation and Practice can only make it easier.




 

Try not to over complicate things, but I know that's easier said than done

Sending Love,

MaryLisa
