“A healer's power stems not from any special ability, but from maintaining the courage and awareness to embody and express the universal healing power that every human being naturally possesses.”
― Eric Micha'el Leventhal
Reiki is a gift!
While I would agree that Reiki is a beautiful gift to be able to use, I also believe that anyone with practice can have this beautiful gift.
As with anything that you study, you get out what you put in. If you want to bring Reiki into your life then the more you use it, the more it will benefit you.
What is Reiki?
Reiki is a form of energy healing. A Reiki Practitioner channels the Reiki energy, (also known as the universal life force,) which boost the clients own energy and in doing so the client clears out the blockages in their own energy which causes illness or emotional issues, thus allowing their body to heal itself.
It can be preformed by a qualified practitioner as a hands on or hands off process, whichever way the client is most comfortable with. Reiki can also be sent distantly.
Self Healing
Self healing and self love need to be at the core of every Reiki Practitioners practice. If everyone on the planet preformed one act of kindness for themselves everyday the world would be a happier place.
So before you look to anyone else for your Love, Respect, Self worth, Self appreciation, look in the mirror and give it to yourself.
Most people have a misguided idea that they need to be nice or give to other people, yet they rarely show that same kindness to themselves.
In Reiki 1 we look at how to begin your Reiki Journey through self healing. Never underestimate the importance of Self healing.
Most Students rush to get their Reiki 2 so they can work with the general public, become a full practitioner and quickly forget about their self healing.
Any great structure has a strong stable foundation. The more you practice your Self healing and the more you meditate the stronger and more ready you will be for your Reiki 2 and working with the public. Reading and learning about Reiki will only give you the knowledge, it is in the physical practising of Reiki in Self healing every day that will give you and increase your gift of Reiki.
The importance of detoxing
Before a treatment or attunement it is advised that you go through a period of detoxing your system. You should always drink plenty of water before and after a treatment or attunement as your body works through a cleansing stage and it is important to keep yourself hydrated.
Reiki isn't just something you get when your feeling under the weather, Reiki is a way of life.
