What Is Reiki?!
Reiki is an incredibly amazing energy healing modality, which is a unique discipline that has been used throughout the world for many years, and is one of the most ancient healing techniques you can use to keep your body in a balanced and healthy state. The particular form of Reiki utilized by Raven is Usui Reiki, which originated in Japan. It is truly an incredibly simple, yet incredibly powerful system of energy healing, which Raven gladly offers to people, as well as animals.
Reiki,
pronounced “Ray-Key”, is a Japanese word.
Reiki
~ A Japanese form of complementary or alternative medicine, developed (or
rediscovered) during the latter half of the 19th century.
Rei
is the Japanese word for universal, spiritual, sacred, divine.
Ki is the word for vital energy, life force energy, prana that flows through everything.
Reiki
is actually a generic word in Japan that is used to describe many types of
healing and spiritual work. It is not exclusive to Usui’s system of
healing, however, it is a profound system of healing where the universal life
force energy flows to and through the practitioner.
Since
Reiki migrated to the West, it has branched off into many directions, however
the bottom line is that Reiki is Reiki.
What truly matters is that Reiki is here and that it is being offered
for healing, as well as being shared.
Reiki
for Animals . . .
Traditionally, Reiki Practitioners have focused on healing for people, however there are many reasons why we now focus on the practice of Reiki for all types of animals. Animals are indeed sentient, spiritual beings who give so generously of themselves to this planet, as well as to the lives of humans, for those with companion animals (and those of you who appreciate the beauty of animals in nature). Therefore, animals are the most deserving of Reiki’s incredible healing power, since living with people and civilization exacts a huge toll on animals.
Reiki
has many wonderful qualities that make it the ideal complementary therapy for
animals. It is non-invasive, gentle,
painless, and stress-free, and it heals on every level of an animal’s being . .
. physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual.
Reiki goes to those issues most in need of healing, even those
unbeknownst to the practitioner.
With Reiki, animals do not need to be confined or restrained in order to be treated effectively, and it is always safe and comfortable for the animal and the energy healer. It can be adapted to any situation or issue that may be affecting the animal, and can also be given at a distance, therefore it is truly ideal for any circumstance. It is one of only very few therapies that brings no harm to any living being or thing, yet is powerful enough to heal even the most complex issues. It is a very powerful tool for healing even the most damaged spirits following trauma, abuse, neglect, fear, or trust issues, as well as physical illness or injury.
The Reiki practitioner works with the animal to determine how the treatment will be given. Therefore, the animal essentially has much of the control over his own process of healing, as well as how much Reiki he will receive, and how the energy healing will be administered, making him a very willing participant in the healing process. It is under these guidelines that we first ask the animal’s permission to give him Reiki making the Reiki process extremely rewarding for both practitioner and animal alike.
As
you can see, Reiki complements both conventional and alternative therapies and
can enhance their actions, as well as lessen their side effects. Reiki also provides compassionate support and
comfort for a dying animal and his people, making the transition much more
peaceful for everyone concerned.
Reiki
for People . . .
Reiki healing energy is transmitted via the Reiki Practitioner through light, hands-on contact, or with the hands held above the body, or can also be transmitted across the room, or even long-distance (where the client is not physically present, however would have awareness of Reiki being sent to them).
During a Reiki session, the person receiving Reiki often becomes deeply relaxed, and may experience a release of tension (muscles become relaxed), pleasant tingling sensations, a reduction in pain, or even a shift in their emotional stance (whereby issues rise to the surface and are released, causing exhalations and perhaps even tears, etc.). Sometimes
clients see colors, receive messages, fall into a restful sleep, or there may
be occasions where the client feels nothing.
In the rare case where the client experiences nothing during the
session, they may notice subtle or not-so-subtle changes over the next 12-72
hours. The Reiki experience is different
for every client, and also varies from session to session. The most important thing is to just relax,
release our attachments and expectations, and just let go and just ‘be’.
