Frequently asked Questions
When I mention to people that I'm a Reiki Master, I usually get asked the same four or five questions about Reiki. So here they are with the answers. If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to mail me here or via Facebook https://www.facebook.com/ReikiHealer75, and I will do my best to answer every and all questions to the best of my ability.
01
Is Reiki a religion, do I have to believe in it for it to work?
No, Reiki is not a religion. People of all religious persuasions and belief systems practice this healing art. Reiki has some of its roots in Japan, but it is not tied to Buddhism.
Reiki helps people to connect with their inner self on a deep level. In this way it is spiritual.
Reiki works even if you don't believe in it. Reiki works on unconscious patients, people in comas, babies and animals and plants. They have no conscious awareness about Reiki. The acceptance of the Reiki energy during a Reiki treatment operates below conscious thought. It is the subconscious desires of the person in receipt of the Reiki energy that will determine whether the energy is taken in or not.
02
What is Reiki and what can I expect from a treatment?
Reiki is simply the ‘laying’ of hands (non-intrusively) on or slightly above the body so the divine energy can flow through the practitioner as a channel and to another person. It is this flow of energy which facilitates the unique ability of the body to heal itself.
The client is laid on a plinth (massage table), fully clothed, eyes closed and listening to gentle soothing music which helps to produce a state of deep relaxation. As energy flows most people will feel warmth, heat, tingling, or other sensations, some fall asleep or they may feel nothing all at. Reiki is a healing experience that is unique for each client. The energy has an intelligence of its own, knowing where to go and what is needed for each client.
03
What can Reiki treat?
Reiki has had a positive affect on all forms of illness and negative conditions. This includes minor things like head or stomach aches, bee stings, colds, flu, tension and anxiety as well as serious illness like heart disease, cancer, leukemia, etc. The side effects of regular medical treatments have also been reduced or eliminated. This includes the negative effects of chemotherapy, post operative pain and depression as well as improving the healing rate and reducing the time needed to stay in the hospital. Reiki always helps and in some cases people have experienced complete healings which have been confirmed by medical tests before and after the Reiki treatments. However, while some have experienced miracles, they cannot be guaranteed. Stress reduction with some improvement in ones physical and psychological condition are what most experience.
04
Who can learn Reiki?
Anybody can learn Reiki Reiki is a very simple technique to learn and is not dependent on one having any prior experience with healing, meditation or any other kind of training. It has been successfully learned by over one million people from all walks of life, both young an old. The reason it is so easy to learn that it is not taught in the usual way something is taught. The ability to do Reiki is simply transferred from the teacher to the student through a process called an attunement that takes place during a Reiki class. As soon as one receives an attunement, they have the ability to do Reiki and after that whenever one places their hands on themselves or on another person with the intention of doing Reiki, the healing energy will automatically begin flowing.
05
What is a Reiki attunement?
​
A Reiki attunement is the process by which a person receives the ability to give Reiki treatments. The attunement is administered by the Reiki Master during the Reiki class. During the attunement, the Reiki Master will touch the students shoulders and hands and use one or more special breathing techniques. The attunement energies will flow through the Reiki Master and into the student. These special energies are guided by the Higher Power and make adjustments in the students energy pathways and connect the student to the source of Reiki. Because the energetic aspect of the attunement is guided by the Higher Power, it adjusts itself to be exactly right for each student. During the attunement, some students feel warmth in the hands, others may see colors or have visions of spiritual beings. However, it is not necessary to have an inner experience for the attunement to have worked. Most simply feel more relaxed.
Once you have been attuned to Reiki, you never lose it, you will always have the ability to channel this energy.
Attunements can also be sent distantly, without diminishing their effectiveness.
