Healing with Reiki

Wow, there’s so much to learn …

Tomoko and I are now studying REIKI. What is REIKI?? I don’t really know much about it right now, except that it’s a natural healing treatment. Reiki practitioners can ‘channel’ healing energy into a patient. It’s very powerful and the basic principles seem easy to learn and use. I think the most important elements are that you BELIEVE that the healing energy exists, and that you CONCENTRATE when you give the treatments.
Our class is 5-days long and we are learning to treat ourselves and others. The basic method of Reiki is touching. You place your hands on the patient (or yourself) in designated areas of the head, torso, legs and feet, and this is the way the healing energy passes through to the patient. It’s pretty simple and it seems so powerful.

Tomoko and I will finish our class on Friday and then we’ll be able to give treatments to others. It’s really so interesting to learn about natural healing methods!

Does anyone know anything about Reiki? Have you heard of it? Do you have any experience with Reiki? Do you believe that a powerful ENERGY or HEALING ENERGY exists and can be used by people for positive purposes like healing?

    Hello John,

    I never had heard about the Reiki treatment, here in Mexico as in most of the Western coutries are accostumed to use mainly pills, syrups, and so forth, but more and more we are looking for different treatments to cure our sickness, we call them alternative medicine like acupuncture, homeopathy and things like that. However I checked some sites related to Reiki and read the explanation you gave us about it, I found it very interesting, I belive that really a healing energy exists either internal or external but probably not anyone has the talent or the gift to heal, I think also that our brain should be able to balance our internal energy maybe through meditation or yoga, again I think not anybody can do it though. Finally I’d like to recommend something that probably everyone knows do exercise is one of the main things that keeps you healthy.
    Enjoy your holidays and take care.

    I’m writing only to clarify that in my other comment I said: “not anyone” and “not anybody”, but what I really wanted to say was “not everibody” and “not everyone”, greetings.
