Theories
And Practices Of Reiki |

Most schools teach that the Reiki
energy is an "intelligent" energy, which "knows what
to do," or "where it is needed the most." Thus, Reiki
adherents say, if the recipient needs it and is ready to heal, the
Reiki energy will go where it needs to for healing. If the intended
recipient does not accept the energy on some level, the energy will
not be absorbed. Some schools teach that Reiki "spirit guides"
keep watch over Reiki energy and assist the practitioner. It is
said by them that any intention to do harm will block the flow of
Reiki energy. It is also taught that Reiki energy enters through
the 1st (root or Muladhara) chakra at the base of the spine, fills
the aura, becomes centered in the 4th (heart or Anahata) chakra,
and flows out through the practitioner's hands. |

In a Reiki session, the practitioner asks the recipient to lie
down and relax. The practitioner then is said to act as a channel
for Reiki energy, purportedly allowing "Reiki energy"
to be channelled through the practitioner to wherever the patient
is thought to require it.Reiki healers say that their energy can
be used for healing either in physical proximity or from a distance. |
