Healing in Reiki ?
 

I am not sure what it means, when one talks about healing in Reiki ?

Healing as in energy being sent ? and if so what does this energy actually do ?

Does this just energize the person or actually cure a health problem ?

Confused Angel xx

Energy Healing... a great topic

So, a couple of grounding points about "energy".
Energy is always either a particle or a wave and can never be destroyed.
Energy is either limitless (more created when needed by divine source) or limited and just recycled
Energy fields in the body can be measured by many divices now, from the field around the heart to brain waves, to aura’s or body fields, etc.

Healing can be done on many levels
Physical (cure my cancer)
Emotional (Cure my broken heart)
Psychological/Mental (heal my stress)

Some would say Psychological and emotional are the same, I would say Psychological/Mental issues can be emotional

Reiki (or any intention based energy healing modality) is based upon the concept that thought directs energy so focused intention will direct energy to a particular “issue” be it physical, emotional, mental.

The energy does not originate from the Reiki healer but directs the energy from all around them to the specific issue or just to a generalize area/person.

The belief is that ill health can come from a lack of energy and that negative thought will actually create issues while positive thought will direct positive energy to promote good health.

What does it feel like? Depends upon who you ask J For me it is sometime like being wrapped in a nice warm blanket J

Hope this opinion helps!

Thank you very much EP !

Your explanation clears up my confusion. I must say your explanation is very understandable (thanks for keeping it basic for me). Sometimes one asks a question and there is as much confusion in the answer as in the reason for asking the question. I like the being wrapped in a warm blanket feeling , unless of course if it is in the 90s or higher tempwise :D

My pleasure DA!

Then its probably just a poorly managed sweat lodge :wink:

ewwww ! :icon_eek:

I was going to reply but Emerging Path has visited. Wonderful. X

Me too but ces was faster then I was... :rolleyes: :D

Helllllllllo!

it has been a long time CES and I am so glad to see that you are still at it! :hug2:

Even though EmergingPath, has once again given a fantastic reply, I will add my two cents into this question as well.


The main thing that gets people confused and hung up is the word healing. When you see healing many will quickly see that as being cure, or a miracle, without actually knowing what healing means.

While they can go hand and hand with each other, that may not always be the case. Not all times, or cases, can something be cured. That is when healing is sought to help alleviate symptoms, if possible, to help bring balance back to an individual and to help them gain peace of mind. There are cases where finding balance and peace of mind can bring about a cure. But it does not always happen. It is the reason many get discouraged with their healing because it's not working at the level they expect it to.

A shoulder to learn on, a hug from a loved one/family member, can be forms of healing as well.

Energy healing works on more then one level. As EP, had already stated. Emotional, physical, and spiritual. Most times we work to heal the present symptoms without actually healing the issue.

You nailed in Innerlight!



Nicely stated. I too believe that this aspect is often overlooked or minimized and then when an immediate "cure" is not realized they walk away and miss out on the "healing" to help them to come to terms with their reality...

ADDED: To this point, this is also a space where Hospice can add value. Having taught Reiki to Hospice staff and volunteers I am often overwhelmed at the relief that Reiki provides in this type of a setting...
