Simply, Reiki (pronounced Ray-Key) means "Universal Life Force Energy". Good health depends on the quality of life-force or Ki that is flowing through our bodies. Ki is the non-physical energy that animates all living things. It is the primary energy of our emotions, thoughts and spiritual life. If a person's life-force is low, or there is a restriction in the flow, they are more vulnerable to illness. When it is high and flowing freely they are less likely to get sick. The powerful healing properties of Reiki can be experienced by all who are drawn to it either as a healer or a healee. It is a divinely guided form of energy that enhances the flow of Ki through all living things and has an intelligence all of its own. Reiki cleanses the body of built up toxins, relieves pain, comforts, soothes, calms and releases emotional trauma. It loosens blocked energy and accelerates the body's own natural ability to heal itself, at the same time promoting a state of total relaxation and well-being. The Reiki energy is perceived as heat, coolness or tingling that comes from the channel's hands. It is gentle and stimulates the body's own innate wisdom to heal at the cause of the problem, promoting a holistic balancing of body, mind and spirit. Unlike some forms of healing the practitioner does not draw from his/her own energy. In fact as the healee draws the Reiki energy through the channel he/she receives treatment at the same time. Reiki is totally harmless, it will only heal and protect and cannot be mis-used. People of any age can benefit from it as can plants and animals. Healing through human touch is the oldest and simplest of all the therapies available to us. The act of laying on of hands to comfort, heal and relieve pain conveys warmth, caring and affection. It is an act of love. This is the basic instinct a mother has when her child is unwell or hurt, it comes from deep within. In the same way an animals mother's first instinct is to lick or nuzzle her young in distress. No special kind of faith or belief is needed or required to learn, practice or receive Reiki. It is used with the same success by people of many faiths and religions, by free thinkers as well as by followers of widely differing philosophies and ideologies. Sadly, in the western world our healing skills have been neglected or forgotten and we have been giving up the power to heal ourselves. At a time when the pace of life is becoming faster and faster, and demands on our bodies becoming greater and greater, many of the ancient natural healing therapies are being rediscovered and, with the trend towards more holistic therapies that power is now being reclaimed. Reiki in no way conflicts with medical procedures, in fact it supports and enhances all medical treatments. It can be incorporated effectively into the healing arts practised by health professionals from traditional and alternative medicine. Clients are treated fully clothed usually lying on a therapy couch although it can be done seated. The channel's hand are placed in a series of positions lightly on or just above the client's body. Healing takes place mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually and at all levels of consciousness. One of the beauties of Reiki is that it heals at such a deep level that emotional blockages and suppressed feelings, which can often manifest themselves in a physical way, are released allowing deep personal healing to take place. In cases of terminal illness Reiki enhances the quality of life, allowing for peace and serenity in the time remaining. Acute injuries can be helped to heal very quickly, though more chronic injuries may take longer. On a spiritual level Reiki offers both the healee and the healer a greater experience of higher consciousness, self-awareness and intuition. In some cases the experience will facilitate profound life changes such as positivity, creativity and personal growth.
Seichem
(pronounced Say- Keem) is an Egyptian word referring to a person's God-energy
or spark of the creator that we each carry deep within us. It was one of the healing
arts practised in the temples long ago. The fire element is represented by Sakara, an energy that works on the electro-magnetic field surrounding the body (the aura), and has a sparkling or tingling feeling when channelled a bit like small electrical impulses. It "burns" through blockages and cleanses the chakras. Sophi-El represents the element of water. Water is associated with the emotions and Sophi-El opens the heart to feel love and compassion. It reaches deep within the emotions to find the core of disturbances. It can help with removing addictions and it enhances psychic awareness and increases intuitive abilities. It is felt as a gentle, pulsating coolness or intense icy-cold. The air and spirit elements are combined in a two-fold ray called Angeliclight. Air is associated with communication, so healing of both the third eye and throat chakras is increased. As its name implies Angeliclight establishes a link with the Angelic realms, facilitating contact with angels, guides and higher beings. It is usually felt as light cool breezes and often clients experience healing being carried out nowhere near the hands of the healer. Without the grounding and earthing properties of Reiki to form a base no other element can be channelled. Reiki can benefit physical, mental and emotional health and is usually experienced as warmth or coolness, just like the surface of the earth. All of these elemental rays work individually or together depending on the needs of the healee who will draw as much of each as they need. When all four rays are working together the negative energy has nowhere to "hide". For further information or if you have any queries e-mail info@spiritofreiki.co.uk or phone 07751 035758 |
