Reiki
Reiki is
a form of spiritual practice, often compared to faith
healing, proposed for the treatment of physical, emotional,
mental and spiritual diseases. Mikao Usui developed Reiki in
early 20th century Japan, where he said he received the
ability of 'healing without energy depletion' after three
weeks of fasting and meditating on Mount Kurama.
Practitioners use a technique similar to the laying on of
hands as well as gestures in the air, which they say will
channel "healing energy" (ki). Energy flows through the
palms of practitioner and will go where it needs to for
healing. If the intended recipient does not accept the
energy on some level, the energy will not be absorbed.
In a
typical Reiki session, the practitioner asks the recipient
to lie down and relax. The practitioner then intends to act
as a channel for Reiki energy. Usually the practitioner
moves their hands close to or on various parts of the
recipient's body. Intention is the primary method for
directing the flow of the energy. Depending on the skill
level of the practitioner, Reiki energy can be used for
healing either in physical proximity or from a distance. The
ability to channel Reiki energy usually awakens within
someone after a Reiki Master performs an "attunement”.
