Reiki and Healing

                           

The part of healing that western medicine seems to ignore is the energetic healing of the body.  The beauty of the energy healing practice, like Reiki, is that it heals the physical, the emotional, the spiritual, and the mental (mind).  Energy practitioners will tell you that when one of these areas is out of balance, you are not well because you are out of balance.

The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei which means "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power" and Ki which is "life force energy". So Reiki is actually "spiritually guided life force energy." (from http://www.reiki.org/faq/whatisreiki.html)

There are many Reiki practitioners and there are several schools of Reiki.. all good.  Reiki classes are available to those who wish to work on some self healing. 

I love the creed... Just for today:

• I will not anger
• I will not worry
• I will be grateful for all my blessings
• I will work with honesty and integrity
• I will be kind to all living beings

These are wonderful goals for all humans.  Several friends have this poster printed out and stuck on their bathroom mirror so they can repeat the mantra each morning.

Several years ago, on a Saturday morning, I was in a bicycle accident when the trail we were riding crumbled beneath me and dropped me and my bike about eight feet down into a creek bed, amongst trees that had been chewed off by beavers.  I dislocated my shoulder and had massive bruises and several pulled muscles.  Four Reiki sessions over Saturday and Sunday had me mobile and able to go to work on Monday morning.

And, at the end of November 2022, I had some surgery.  One of my friends volunteered Reiki sessions to help smooth over the worst of the discomfort.  Each time she did a session - I was restricted to no visitors so it was distance healing - I went into a deep sleep and woke up feeling refreshed.  It was wonderful!

However, if you are stuck and healing is slow, you may want to try out Reiki.
