A while ago I heard about Reiki and didn't really know much about it. It actually scared me a little because I was ignorant to how it was used but now my views have changed. My mom began receiving Reiki from an old neighbor and then found a practitioner to help her regularly with different mental and physical issues she was facing. Since then, she has been happier and more open to holistic healing.
BCMT was offering a course to be Reiki I certified so I thought I'd try it as I was interested in learning about this form of healing. I thought it could help me with my massage practice, with the girls I'm nannying, and with myself. Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by laying hands on someone or even feeling their energy fields without touching them. It is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.
The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei which means "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power" and Ki which is "life force energy". So Reiki is actually "spiritually guided life force energy."
A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing. When practicing Reiki, we work with Chakras, or force centers, that are considered focal points for the reception and transmission of energies.
After Reiki I, I really enjoyed the practice and concept so I decided to go on and take Reiki II. In Reiki II we learned how to do distance healing. This means that if someone who is not present still needs healing, I can send them good life force energy to help with whatever they are working towards. I tried it on my mom with the help of about 5 others and she said at that time she saw rainbow colors and felt a tingling sensation!
With these certifications I definitely feel a difference in the power of my senses and my intuitions. I am more aware of what and who is around me and am learning to take what I've learned and incorporate into my every day life.
