Many people have learned to appreciate alternative medicine forms. Reiki healing is a practice that came from Japan where practitioners place a hand either on or above the one receiving the treatment. The goal is to help the person to heal themselves. In the States, it is part of an alternative and complementary medicine or CAM.
Depending on the practitioner some may ask for a form to be filled in about one's health but many forgo this as they are not in proper healthcare. One will however be asked to sign a consent form and will be asked if they will permit to being touched. If there are any special needs that need to be addressed for example not being able to lie flat or very sensitive to touch this will need to be conveyed.
The Western practise focuses more on the position of the hands, the healing process and a onetime attunement which includes an energetic system of chakras. These are energy points in the true and genuine body or rainbow body and not the physical form. It comes from India and utilizes reflection.
The Traditional Japanese is more of a lifestyle which is to bring one to the path of enlightenment. They focus more on the breathing techniques that help to direct the energy to certain points in the body and it is believed that one can feel the energy channelling immediately. Many describer this practise as a Zen proverb which is a practical and simple yet intense method.
There are many different courses that one can take depending on one's preference. There is Jikiden, Gendai and Sekhem Reiki as well as Children's Reiki. The Jikiden form is passed down from its founder Milao Usui and has not been changed in any way. Gendai combines the traditional method with specialized types of healing and is the more common of them all.
All the clients that have gone through this form of therapy have experienced a very deep state of relaxation as well as having a sensation of tingling, warmth and feeling sleepy. Once it is over they all feel total revived and refreshed. Unlike many other methods this one has no serious side effects and is safe.
Reiki is very safe and can be used even if one is currently on some other medical care. Many are given this treatment while in the operating theatre as well as during chemotherapy sessions. It helps to cleanse the soul and body of any negative thoughts and feelings which help in a faster recovery period.
