Reiki, as well as Pranic techniques, offer alternative natural means of healing. They both work with universal energy, which is the life source each one of us shares, including nature and the animal kingdom.

The person performing the ritual channels in pure energy through their body and then passes it on. A series of “lying on the hands” take place in order to move positive energy in and filter out the negative, or stale energy that may be causing any disease.

This practice is still controversial, because it can not be proven or disproved, but if the patient shows improvement, then who is to argue.

Depending on the individual’s situation, Reiki can be helpful in finding ways to manage, or even cure certain ailments.

Some examples include:

• Depression
• Anxiety
• Stress
• Anger
• Guilt
• Remorse

Reiki can work with the body’s flow of energy to improve the over all mental health. Promoting relaxation allows the body to regulate the chemicals that may cause an imbalance. Reiki can also be used for pain management. It is a good alternative to harsh drugs like pain killers, which could cause addiction.

Here are some aliments that could possibly benefit from this type of work:

• Back pain
• Scar tissue
• Surgical sites
• Arthritis
• Lymes disease
• Fibromyalgia
• Irritable Bowel Syndrome
• Crohn’s or Ulcerative colitis
• Broken or swollen body parts

Reiki can also be used for pain management. It is a good alternative to harsh drugs like pain killers, which could cause addiction.

If you are severe or terminally ill, you may wish to use Reiki as acceptance therapy; knowing that your journey on earth is soon to end is not always the easiest thing to deal with. Reiki can help you get physically and mentally ready for your new journey. Though the physical body may be dying, Reiki can help move the process with some ease.

In all situations mentioned above, Reiki can and should be used in conjunction with modern medicine. Be sure to see your doctor, do not self diagnose if you are feeling ill. This technique may not work for everyone, nor influence every disease. Results are based on individual cases.

Spiritual Suggestion:

I feel as though my own experience with Reiki was worth it. It helped me release the emotional pain that I was holding onto, which was also effecting me physically and spiritually. I was able to let go of the things, that I had owned, that were no good for me. You should try it at least once in your life.
