10: reiki treatment
Reiki is a Japanese word meaning “Spiritually Guided Life Force Energy”. It was rediscovered in the 1800’s by Dr Usui of Japan. Since then it has spread in popularity throughout the world. It is not a religion or a cult and there is no necessary belief system, although your beliefs may change when you experience it. The energy promotes healing, stress management and energy renewal. It also assists with personal and spiritual growth. Ki or chi is the life force energy we all need to live. We experience an exchange of this energy all the time. If someone is angry we may feel the tension. If someone smiles we smile and feel happier. Visiting a poorly person in hospital can make us feel drained. Martial artists focus this energy to increase their power in Aikido or Tai chi. Many ancient healing systems throughout the world work with this energy. Reiki supplements your own ki or life force energy to clear blockages and give your body greater power to heal on a mental, physical or emotional level.
Science or Sci-Fi?
Independent research by Dr Robert Becker and Dr John Zimmerman during the 1980’s investigated what happens during a healing like Reiki. They found that not only do the brain waves of practitioner and receiver become synchronised in the alpha state, (characteristic of deep relaxation, meditation of hypnosis) but also they pulse in unison with the earth’s magnetic field known as Schuman Resonance. During these moments the bio magnetic field of the practitioners hands is at least 1000 times greater than normal, and not as a result of any internal body current. Other researchers have suggested that the linking of the energy fields between the practitioner and earth allows the practitioner to draw on a “universal energy field”. Other work by Zimmerman (1990) in the USA and Seto (1992) in Japan, looked into the pulsating magnetic field that emanates from the healers hands whilst they work. They discovered that the pulses are in the same frequencies as brain waves; varying from 0.3 to 30 Hz. Medical research shows that these frequencies stimulate healing in the body with different frequencies being suitable for specific tissues.
What is Seichem?
Seichem is a wider more powerful energy system than Reiki. Said to be of Egyptian origin, it incorporates the following rays of healing; Reiki, which is the Earth ray, is experienced as heat or cold. It can benefit physical, mental and emotional conditions and it forms a base through which the other rays can work; Sophiel is water energy and it feels like a gentle pulsing coolness. It helps to heal deep emotional issues; Angeliclight, which is air and spirit, feels like a cool gentle breeze. It can facilitate mental healing and establishes a link with the Angelic realms; Sakara, is fire energy and is experienced as an effervescent tingling, or a mild electrical current. It works in the aura, helping to transform blockages.
When I have a treatment, what will I feel?
Experienced healers may feel the different types of energy as outlined above and be able to give you an understanding of what is happening in your body. It is likely that you will just feel very relaxed and peaceful. Reiki and Seichem are very gentle and non invasive. You simply lie on a couch or sit in a chair if preferred, fully clothed. You may be aware that parts of your body feel very hot as the hands rest over them. Many clients drift into a light sleep.
