Reiki Healing Hands
Well, not really my first Reiki treatment but the first time that it really set me thinking about how Reiki benefits.
Many of us, and I think that would include many Reiki practitioners, sometimes do wonder how this universal energy helps in healing bodies. That treatment got me thinking about how Reiki energy works. We were taught to give Reiki to others (some teachers make it mandatory to give Reiki to oneself and to clock in hours in giving to others as well) but it is in receiving Reiki that one gets a good insight into the energy of Reiki.
This ‘first’ happened during a Reiki course. It was a pretty hectic course, helping here, giving a hand there, making sure everyone is comfortable that I was quite tired from all the running about. During one of the intervals, I lied down for a quick rest on one of the tables that was free. My fellow masters (I think they liked me) gathered round and laid hands on me. With the tenderness of six pairs of hands on me, I slipped gently off to dreamland.
Sort of snoozed off but I could feel the charge of their hands on me all the while. That was what I thought. In reality, they had long wandered off leaving me for dead (they didn’t like me that much after all!). But to me, their hands were there all the time.
I woke refreshed, very much so. And the wonderful thing is that during the rest of the day, I felt fully charged and the Reiki energy did not diminish.
A traditional Reiki treatment calls for the laying on of hands and most traditions teach twelve hand positions on the front and back of the body from head to toe. It is an effective way to focus on the whole body allowing Reiki energy to work as it deems fit.
As it deems fit. That sums it up. In my case, the energy refreshed me. With my body fully charged, it was functioning at its peak. I believe that sums up how Reiki energy works. Our body is a complex organism. If each part is well-oiled and is working in tip top condition, all maladies can be overcome. Reiki energy charges the body giving it the resilience and power to heal itself. There is no need for diagnosis, no necessity of the practitioner trying to be knowledgeable or smart.
Try a Reiki treatment. Given with love and sincerity, it is one of the most wonderful and natural gift.

I think all of us did not cut the link. You were still tapping, tapping onto our energies.
