Question & Answers: More About Reiki

More about Reiki: does Reiki really work?

If Reiki did not work it would have never lasted this long in society. People around the world have been reporting positive effects of Reiki since it was used by Usui. Reiki is now accepted by more and more medical professionals, hospitals, clinics and hospices as a helpful treatment option.

Can you describe Reiki energy?

The energy can be very subtle, often leading to an accumulated effect after the session, which can lead to wobbly legs, to emotional shifts like laughter or crying, depending on the blockages released, and the individual.

Is Reiki a Religion?

Reiki is not a religion at all.

How is a Reiki treatment given?

In a standard treatment the client might be standing,  sitting, or laying on a massage table. The client remains fully clothed. The practitioner gives the treatment with the hands on or near the clients body in different positions.

Can a Reiki treatment feel bad?

Since Reiki is a positive energy, it never harms anyone in any manner.

You might feel very relaxed, happy, and full of laughter. Some might feel a wonderful glowing radiance. Some people might end up crying during or after a treatment, or might feel a bit ill, dizzy, or disoriented afterwards.

I think it depends on how sensitive they are to the energy, and how deeply the blockages are rooted. Tension, anxiety, fear, or other negative feelings get released, and after that many people feel a wonderful peace too.

No matter what, Reiki will balance you, and bring a change, and make you feel better.

Are there any serious side effects from a Reiki treatment?

No, there are no serious side effects. Some people might not feelings so well for a short moment, because of whatever gets released in the body, perhaps toxins, or emotional stress. But normally you will feel very relaxed, and balanced. One hour of Reiki can have the same effect as 4 hours of deep sleep. If there are any side effects then it is all part of the self-healing process, and can last a few days, but mostly it only takes one or two hours to dissipate.

Can common things like colds be treated?

Reiki does not promise healing! Sickness often comes from stress. Reiki creates a deep relaxation, and because of this, it helps to activate the self healing in oneself.

It can help for pain relief, and can help for common things like colds, head or stomach aches, bee stings, tension and anxiety.

Does Reiki replace a doctor or regular treatment?

No. Stop! Always see your healthcare professionals! Reiki can help to assist regular medical or psychological treatment. Reiki treatments can be good after a surgery, or psychological care to assist in the healing process.

An attunement is like an initiation. The master connects to the Reiki source, and uses Reiki Symbols to connect you to the source of Reiki. It means you are now able to channel Reiki to yourself and others when desired.
