Reiki means
universal life energy.
When our energy is out of balance, a Reiki
practitioner aids in centering that energy. It can help us find our way
back to a state of health and wholeness.
The laying of
hands is used in Reiki therapy also as in spiritual healing. There
is a difference though. In spiritual healing, a person with a strong
energy field places his or her hands above a particular part of the
recipient's body in order to release energy into it. So, here the
healer is the one who is sending out the energy.
In Reiki,
however, the healer places the hands above the recipient; however,
it is the recipient that draws the energy as needed. Thus, in this
case, the individual being healed takes an active part in the
healing process as opposed to having a passive part in spiritual
healing. The individual takes responsibility for his or her healing.
The recipient identifies the needs and caters to them by drawing
energy as needed (http://www.holistic-online.com/Reiki/hol_Reiki_home.htm) |
