How Does Reiki Work? Do All Healers Use Reiki? Reiki Can Never Cause Harm Energy is Never Depleted How Does Reiki Work? We

are alive because life force is flowing through us. Life force flows

within the physical body though pathways called chakras, meridians and

nadis. It also flows around us in a field of energy called the aura.

Life force nourishes the organs and cells of the body, supporting them

in their vital functions. When this flow of life force is disrupted, it

causes diminished function in one or more of the organs and tissues of

the physical body. The

life force is responsive to thoughts and feelings. It becomes disrupted

when we accept, either consciously or unconsciously, negative thoughts

or feelings about ourselves. These negative thoughts and feelings

attach themselves to the energy

field and cause a disruption in the flow of life force. This diminishes

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

charging them with positive energy. It raises the vibratory level of

the energy field in and around the physical body where the negative

thoughts and feelings are attached. This causes the negative energy to

break apart and fall away. In so doing, Reiki clears, straightens and

heals the energy pathways, thus allowing the life force to flow in a

healthy and natural way. Do All

Healers Use Reiki?

All healers use life force or Ki, but not all use Reiki. Reiki is a

special kind of life force that can only be channeled by someone that

has been attuned to it. It is possible that some people are born with

Reiki or have gotten it some other way. However, most healers who have

not received the Reiki attunement from a Reiki Master are not using

Reiki but another kind of life force. People who already do healing

work consistently report an increase of at least fifty percent in the

strength of their healing energies after taking the Reiki training. This

was verified for me when I first

began teaching Reiki. There were two clairvoyant healers I knew who had

highly developed abilities. They could easily see the life force

flowing through a person's body, as well as see the aura and chakras.

They could also communicate with a person's guides and Higher Self.

They were adept at moving negative psychic energy out of the body as

well as channeling healing energies. In my twenty years of metaphysical

work, they were the most accurate and effective psychic healers I had

met. They

told me later they had doubted there was anything I was teaching they

couldn't already do, but that they took the Reiki training anyway,

simply to support me in my new work. After the attunement, they were

amazed at the difference they could feel between the healing energies

they had been using and Reiki. They said the Reiki energies were more

powerful and of a much higher frequency. They noted also that Reiki

didn't have to be guided like the other healing energies they were

using, and that the Reiki energies began flowing without having to

enter an altered state. They also indicated the attunement process

itself was a powerful healing experience, releasing restrictions

relating to their healing work they had unknowingly acquired when they

were healers in past lives. They were very pleased they had taken the

class. Reiki Can Never Cause Harm

Because Reiki is guided by the God-consciousness, it can never do harm.

It always knows what a person needs and will adjust itself to create

the effect that is appropriate for them. One never need worry about

whether to give Reiki or not. It is always helpful. In

addition, because the practitioner does not direct the healing and does

not decide what to work on, or what to heal, the practitioner is not in

danger of taking on the karma of the client. Because the practitioner

is not doing the healing, it is also much easier for the ego to stay

out of the way and allow the presence of God to clearly shine through. Energy is Never Depleted

Because it is a channeled healing, the Reiki practitioner's energies

are never depleted. In fact, the Reiki consciousness considers both

practitioner and client to be in need of healing, so both receive

treatment. Because of this, giving a treatment always increases one's

energy and leaves one surrounded with loving feelings of well-being. For more on Reiki, see the back articles in our Reiki News section.
