How Does Reiki Work?

ENERGY BALANCING

Reiki balances the energy of a person so they may heal more quickly.

The human energy system has three parts: the meridians (or energy pathways), the chakras (energy centers), and the aura (energy fields). Reiki is a form of hands-on treatment used to manipulate energy fields within and around the body.

Reiki influences all the human energy systems simultaneously in order to liberate the body's natural healing powers.

Everything in our universe is made up entirely of energy. Einstein formulated this knowledge in his well known equation E=MC2 (energy = mass x the speed of light squared). Light is energy, our emotions are energy, our thoughts are energy, our physical bodies and the physical world surrounding us are all energy. Knowing that our body is made up of energy fields, with the physical body as one of these, then it is easier to understand how the healing energy of Reiki works.

What we experience as disease, or dis-ease, whether emotional, mental or physical, are the manifestations of imbalances in our body. But the source of the problem can often be found in imbalances in our energy fields.

So what causes these imbalances? Our thoughts, emotions and attitudes play a huge role in the fitness of our body. Thoughts and emotions are energy. When we have pessimistic and negative thoughts, we create imbalances. We often repress thoughts and emotions because, well, quite frankly that is what we have been taught to do in our society. We are not supposed to show certain emotions or express our emotions or feelings and if we do then we’re supposed to feel guilty about it. It’s a catch 22 because in either case we create blocks in our energy system. Not all of these imbalances are self-induced, there are of course outside influences also, such as environmental factors that create imbalances: noise pollution, air pollution, water pollution, people pollution (you know, all those negative people you run into) & electro-magnetic fields – we’re being bombarded daily with all of this stuff and all of this stuff creates imbalances.

Reiki works on an energetic level. Our body is a complex system of different levels interacting with each other continuously. Where most healing methods work only on one level, usually the physical level (because that’s when we seek help, when we’re in pain or discomfort), Reiki works on all levels simultaneously and it balances on all levels wherever our energy flows are blocked so it may assist in healing the physical symptoms of the disease.
