A Japanese Doctor rediscovered what is believed to be an ancient technique of hands on healing, over a century ago. It is a therapeutic system which has no religious basis, working simply on the human bio-electric field in a re-balancing way. Treatments may be performed on humans and other animals, and the energy works on all four levels of the body; physical, emotional and spiritual.
Reiki = Universal Life Energy
The Japanese name of the system means life force energy, of which the practitioner acts as a channel, directing the energy to the patient by gently laying their hands on the body. As a result, it is a kind of ‘spiritual healing’ in which the practitioner’s energy is not sapped, but benefits from the process.
Having been met with scepticism in the past, in recent years this therapy has become more widespread, with over a million practitioners across the world in 1995. It is even offered in many health spas alongside massage and dietary consultation.
Body Electric Energy
Its popularity is surely related to the recent scientific advances pointing toward an understanding of the human body as containing electromagnetic fields. In the sixties, the heart’s electromagnetic field was first measured. Now the electromagnetic fields of the body are widely accepted- physics dictates that since live bodily tissues conduct electricity, the currents set up by the brain, muscles and nerves will produce electromagnetic fields around the body.
Practitioners are able to give treatments after they have been attuned to the energy. This may be explained as being given the energetic frequency, like how a radio must be tuned to the radio frequency to receive a particular station.
Although the theory of water having an energetic memory is still not fully accepted, a lot of interesting research has been done into the area in recent years, such as that published in ‘Messages in Water’. If it is the case, the large quantity of water contained in the human body may act as a receptive memory for such frequencies.
A full therapy session lasts around 60-90 minutes. In hands on healing, the energy is not projected onto the patient, but is offered; the patient taking whatever it needs, on an unconscious level; thus it can never cause harm. It is a transformational energy that works on our past, present and future, always leading to a greater sense of balance and well-being.
