Reiki Treatment
 
What Can Be Treated? Reiki is both powerful and gentle. In its long history of use, it has aided in healing virtually every known illness and injury including serious problems such as multiple sclerosis, heart disease and cancer. Reiki has also been used to aid in healing skin problems, cuts, bruises, broken bones, headaches, colds, flus, sore throats, sunburns, fatigue, insomnia and fertility problems as well as childhood traumas, depression, self confidence and self esteem issues. Reiki is always beneficial and works to improve the effectiveness of all other types of therapy. You need not limit yourself to receiving Reiki by itself. You should continue to receive regular medical and psychological treatments with improved results. In fact, Reiki can improve the results of any medical treatment, acting to reduce negative side effects, such as those from chemotherapy, surgery and invasive procedures. It works to shorten healing time, reduce or eliminate pain, reduce stress and create optimism. Who to Treat: l First treat yourself. You are REIKI and can be in as perfect of health as your ego will allow yourself to express. l Next, treat family members, Normally the family unit will have provided you with many benefits and transmitting the health of REIKI is an excellent way to complete the exchange. l Third, consider treating anyone who asks. Asking is important, because REIKI is a system based on intent. The prospective client should express his intent for health any requesting the treatment. l Naturally if the person is in a coma, or an infant, or someone whose family asks for the healing or someone of whom you are responsible, it is appropriate to do REIKI l By standing in your mind,' You are free to accept or reject this healing as you will'' You release the will or the client and do not impose your will upon them. l Be cautions in treating an accident victim you don't know, in that it is legally advisable not to say anything about your healing ability. l Simply attempt to administer REIKI in an inconspicuous manner which fortunately is very easy with REIKI. l Speaking of infants, don't think babies-even fetuses-are to young to receive treatments. l ''REIKI just works zing-o on babies,''-''they have no barriers whatsoever. They are wide open to God's love. And that's what healing is : God loving us.'' l Persons hospitalized or under conventional medical care can also be treated with REIKI. l If the patient takes medication, instruct him to regularly consult with his physician-because as REIKI rebalances his body, the prescribed dosage might have to be lessened to avoid overdoses. l Do not diagnose illnesses and prescribe medicines, however unless you are an Medical practitioner suggest rather than direct. Simply state what you'd if you had the condition perceived, giving the patient the responsibility to assess its merits for himself. l It is also important to remember that you should never feel forced or obligated to heal someone, or guilty for not taking the time to heal whenever and wherever requested. l Don't forget pets, animals and plants, either. They have universal life energy, and REIKI works for them too. l The big bonus with REIKI is that when you are treating someone else you are receiving a healing at the same time. l One is never tired nor depleted after giving a treatment since we are using uni- versal life energy, pervades all creation. Therefore, you can consider, applying REIKI in some rather unorthodox healing situations. ''WHAT to treat can become as vital a consideration as ''WHO'' to treat. How to Treat Your master cover this topics in great detail. Here are some basic points: l First create an environment as quiet comfortable and soothing as possible for treatment. l In the home, set aside a room or designate a small area to be regularly used for client treatment. This ''REIKI Space'' will become familiar (and thus psychologically comfortable) for clients that require successive treatments and also becomes charged with the nature of REIKI itself, thereby facilitating the healing experience. l Wear comfortable clothing that won't interfere with the treatment positions. l FOR MALE PATIENTS : remove glasses, vest, jacket, tie and belt, shoes, have his pockets emptied. l FOR FEMALE PATIENTS : remove glasses, shoes, belt, scarves, and jewellery around the neck; no girdles or tight pantyhose. l No terribly snug pants in either case. l Most treatments by first-degree practitioners are hands-on. l Remote, or absentee healing is taught in second-degree REIKI l However, occasionally it may not be possible to touch the patient directly due to several skin infections/lesions or second/third degree burns, on thick layers of burns, or thick layers of clothing or plaster cast. Or you may wish to treat an infant and don't want to disturb his shallow sleep. l Know that REIKI finish does require direct physical contact with the skin, though. l Insist on proper hygiene for yourself, just as you would expect from any medical Professional. l Always have clean hands, washing with soap before treatment and afterwards for 20-30 seconds in cool running water to break the energy flow. If in an emergency situation water is not available, form the hands in the ''prayer'' position with fingertips together and press firmly for 30 seconds. l Place a box of Kleenex tissues and a sheet or blanket within easy reach. The tissues are for eye treatment and certain ailments; the covers for the client's comfort. Have the client lie down, if possible, so gravity can aid in pulling REIKI into his body. Place a pillow under his head, another under his knees to relieve pressure on the lower back. Employ the sheet or light blanket if the client complains or chills. And don't neglect to ensure your own need either. Remember the comfort of yourself and the client is the next most important thing to REIKI itself during a treatment. l Make sure the client's feet are not crossed; this tends to 'short circuit' the energy flow. l Tell the client he may feel worse after the first or second treatment, either due to sever imbalance in an organ (or the body generally) or because you may stop treatment just as the illness has been brought back from the chronic stage to its acute stage before eventual release. If this happens, a minimum three, preferably four consecutive daily treatments will be required unless healing takes place after the first or second treatment. l ''The disease must return from where it came,' is a basic REIKI tenet. l REIKI is pulled through the body at a rate corresponding to the need of the client. The more energy needed to regenerate, rejuvenate and revitalize the injured body, the longer the healing will generally take. l ''At the end of 5 minutes almost every organ has all the REIKI it need.'' TEAM TREATMENTS : Pair up on FRONT and BACK positions when possible, treat FRONT simultaneously. Simultaneous treatment on the torso and head is also very beneficial. Also when possible, have one healer hold the soles of the client's feet as a means to boost his energy field. REIKI FINISH : When the client has accepted all the REIKI needed at one session conclude his treatment with the REIKI finish. It's like ''icing on the cake.'' a) On completion of the treatment of the front of the body draws anticlockwise energy spirals with the index and middle fingers off the body of the patient-beginning at the shoulders down the arms to the finger tips, and from the shoulders down along the side of body to the tips of the toes. (b) After the treatment of the back of the body balance the energy in the spine, then sweep the energy quickly and forcefully down the spine (for Diabetics sweep the energy up the spine, i.e. in the opposite direction.) Wash your hands again, or press your finger tips together for 30 seconds to close down the energy flow. The REIKI treatment is now complete. Yet the effect of the REIKI on the cells and energy flow of the body does not end with th
