The answer to that question is no.
Reiki is not a garden tool!
The most common questions I get asked
are “What is it?”, “What do you do?” and “What does it feel
like?”
Well to answer the first question:
Reiki, simply put, is energy. It is literally translated, from the
Japanese, as “Universal Life Force Energy”.
As for “what do I do” well, as a
practitioner, I channel Reiki to you. I place my hands either
directly on your body or just above your body and using a series of
specific hand placements, pass the Reiki on. I will keep my hands on
each spot for as long as the Reiki is needed there. Some spots will
require more Reiki than others, some less; it just depends on your
body and how you’re feeling.
“What does it feel like?” It feels
different for everyone. Most typically, when doing treatments, my
hands will get quite hot and I will feel surges of heat throughout my
body; this happens when I’ve hit a spot that requires a fair amount
of treatment. Patients have told me they feel a variety of
sensations: heat, tingling, “electric pulses”, a warm feeling
throughout their limbs and core and a bit light headed near the end
of the treatment. The light headed feeling is normal, it’s just
your body’s way of dealing with the fact that we just played around
with your energy; a few glasses of water and sitting still for a few
minutes alleviates this feeling. Patients also say that feel very
relaxed and stress free after their treatments.
Reiki is a wonderful treatment for
everyday aches and pains or for more serious conditions like
arthritis. It can be done as a solo treatment or in combination with
other forms of treatment like acupuncture, massage, chiropractic and
reflexology.
