"Reiki healing energy" as a opposed to?

So often you hear the words "Reiki healing energy". So please Reiki Master's, what is the difference between this "label" and pure, healing energy?

no difference

The word "reiki" means universal life energy. It's the healing method that goes by that name that makes it seem like something different.

There is a difference in terms of quantity and quality. If you are a reiki channel, it means you are connected to the one Source that powers up the entire universe - either directly or indirectly (through a lineage or symbols). It is also possible to send reiki directly from your own personal storage of energy, but this is a silly way to do it because it will drain your own reserves. If you have ever sat beside a depressed or negative person and felt drained, know that they are drawing from your personal energy reserves. If you are attuned and can draw spiritual energy from the infinite Source, then it doesn't matter how much they take from you, more comes flowing through you - like an infinite fountain or river. Furthermore, Source energy is pure but what is in us individuals (because we need it for other things that we do) is tainted by ego. When reiki-ing it is best to keep the mind out of it, just allow Spirit to do its thing. That way both of you benefit.

Very good response. I will use my own energy. Depending on if i want to be more personally involved with the individual. Such as a grandchild. I have used my personal energy, but it does come as a price. That's a risk I'm sometimes willing to take.

But your own energy is also Source energy LOL!
It is not necessary to sacrifice your body's vitality by cutting yourself off from your Source.
When I say "keep your mind out of it" it means not trying to interfere with where the energy wants your hands to go. Really sensitive reiki practitions will sometimes feel that their hands are stuck in a spot because the energy is holding them there. Interfering with that would be forcing your hand away, something like that.

The experience of connecting more personally with another individual is even more intimate and more profound when you connect at the level of Source energy. You are the Source - but in limited expression! So in essence this is where you and the "other" self meet.

For instance... I also reiki when I give a psychic reading. Intuition as well as healing energy come from the Source when accessed the same way as as for reiki. I've learned how to tap into the Source for all kinds of things! So this is what I do and reiki is now a way of life. I have touched people intimately by reading for them on this level - and I get as deep insights into my life as I do for them because it's coming from such a deep level. I am as amazed as they are...still learning what enlightenment is all about.

Since im only a beginner. I thinl that using ones own energy. Is similar to playing a musical instrument. The more you practice. The more refined that you become.

In other words. The more I use my energy. In connection with Spirits energy. The better i get at using it.

I know now this is true. I was practicing reiki on my own with out an attunement for awhile. Then I received my first and second degree attunement. Now I don't feel drained at all and actually feel energized every time I do reiki, whether in person or distance.
To the OP; Reiki healing energy is redundant reiki means universal life force which is the healing energy. But I think it clarifies what reiki is to those who don't know what it means.

My understanding is that they would be considered one and the same. I could be wrong about that...I've never studied Reiki but I have a friend who is a practitioner and based on her explanation it sounded the same to me.

The only difference is the amount of money required to learn and to be "attuned" to reiki before you can do reiki, supposedly.
