I have been asked many times to explain Reiki. Not an easy thing! It really is something that needs to experienced several times, felt, absorbed….before an understanding of it and healing begins. I can tell you that it is not a magic pill! But I will try to explain it here.
The physical level, or the body, is where an illness shows up to make itself obvious. And the first line of treatment usually targets healing at this level as that is where it is most obvious and causes visible damage. This makes perfect sense, right? But, illness often has its roots in other states of being such as the mental, emotional or spiritual levels.
When the body is functioning at an optimal state, it is one of the most perfect healers that one can ever have. It heals illnesses and problems effortlessly. When you look at young children who are generally healthy, you realize the truth in this. Children recover quickly from all kinds of illnesses, while adults take a lot longer. And the older one is, the longer it can take to recover even from seemingly simple infections, injuries and illnesses.

Most of us never question as to why this should be so. We just assume that it is part of the aging process and dismiss it.
However, in truth, it is the life force that loses its effectiveness to work at an optimal level. This causes us to heal slower than children do. The life force or Ki is that energy that keeps one alive and is also in charge of healing the body. It is the fuel that runs the body. With the passage of time, we accumulate so much clutter in our physical, mental and emotional bodies, that the flow of the life force is disrupted. As a result, the healing mechanism of the body gradually breaks down and we can no longer heal ourselves as effortlessly as children can.

When you have your session or sessions with a Reiki Practitioner, you will be receiving guided life force energy. This energy gradually clears your body of toxins and imbalances. As the body is cleaned and cleared, the flow of the life force in the body improves. This results in an enhanced state of health and well being. When one is in an enhanced state of well being, the body is naturally able to heal itself.
This makes it clear that the primary function of Reiki is to enhance the body’s innate ability to heal itself. It is not like a pill that one just swallows to make the symptoms of an illness disappear overnight. Reiki starts healing at a much deeper level. It starts healing at the root cause of illness – which is almost always a disruption in the flow of the life force energy.
Reiki cannot be looked at as a substitute for medical care in the case of emergencies nor as a miracle cure for illnesses. It must be viewed and understood in the proper light in order to reap maximum benefit from its healing effects. It was my own experience with a catastrophic illness, and the Reiki that I received after the physical self was able to move again, that I finally began to heal. From the inside out! That was the start of my journey to Reiki Master. A journey I will never regret.
The body is a natural healer. It can heal itself when it is in good shape and well nurtured.
Reiki assists the body in doing something that it is naturally meant to do – HEAL ITSELF!
