Reiki Facts From Fiction

Fiction

Some Reiki healers and Reiki teachers say that Reiki simply allows the body to heal itself. It does not matter where they place their hands because the energy is intelligent and will go where it needs to. They also say that Reiki can do no harm.

Using Reiki in this way is not making effective use of this amazing healing art. By claiming that the energy is intelligent it takes the responsibility away from the practitioner, so that they can do as they please without any liability.

It is your responsibility as a Reiki practitioner to treat your clients most urgent conditions and get them healthy and back on their feet as quickly as possible, within your remit. People may well say the energy is intelligent but as intelligent individuals we are given the gift of healing and intention for a reason and that reason is to help people. Logically it makes sense to use all your healing abilities whilst using Reiki on your clients and that strongly involves using Reiki in an active way.

Fact

Reiki uses variable frequency energy to heal conditions directly. The most effective way to use Reiki is to use intention, visualisation along with the Reiki symbols to treat whatever condition you are treating specifically. If someone comes to you with cancer then treat the cancer. The other problems they may have can be dealt with in good time but the most serious issue should be handled immediately and by using active Reiki you are enabled to do this.

Fiction

It is quite common for Reiki healers and Reiki teachers to say that they are merely channels for the energy and that Reiki has no contraindications.

You were put on this earth with many abilities and you have every reason to take an active and responsible role in healing, you are much more than just a channel for the energy. Of course you heal with the highest good of all concerned and God or The Universe will always retain control of what ultimately happens. You have to remember though that we have much within our power if we decide to use it. If you decide to learn Reiki, use Reiki to it’s full potential and accept that as discussed below Reiki must be used wisely and carefully because there are contraindications.

Fact

Reiki does have contraindications. Part of being a Reiki healer is taking responsibility for your client’s welfare while they are under your treatment and accepting that Reiki does have contraindications in the same way as other therapies.

As a Reiki practitioner you have a responsibility to establish what medication your client is taking and to not treat those people that are on medication, which might affect the outcome of the healing. For example, if you are treating someone who is diabetic and taking insulin if you go ahead and heal their diabetes, making them naturally produce insulin again, they will overdose on insulin when they inject themselves.

You must be aware of everything when you are treating clients, such as doctor’s instructions, medication, the law along with other contraindications of Reiki. A Reiki healer is not just an inert channel a Reiki healer is an active participant in the healing.

Fiction

There are some Reiki practitioners and Reiki teachers that specify a fixed time gap between level 1 and level 2 Reiki courses. This time delay is totally unnecessary. Level 1 Reiki teaches you to use Rei healing which is spiritual healing for yourself. It will not allow you to heal physical or emotional problems.

The Reiki teacher needs to explain to the student that Reiki Level 1 is purely spiritual healing and it is Reiki Level 2, which enables healing on a much deeper level. A student of Reiki can become very disillusioned if they are misled to believe that they can walk away after their Level 1 course and heal anything. The Reiki attunement at Level 2 is much more powerful, raises the student’s frequency much higher and brings a greater connection with God or The Universe. It is in most cases preferential to learn the Reiki Level 1 and 2 courses over two days, one following the other. This way the Reiki student leaves with a practitioner’s qualification and the ability to heal themselves and others in the best possible way

Fact

The Reiki symbols have a specific frequency allowing you to channel energy at the correct frequency to treat specific conditions. The shape and colour of the symbol you use defines the frequency and amplitude of the energy you use to heal. It has been demonstrated scientifically that various body parts and functions operate at a certain frequency as they work on electromagnetic signals, so it makes sense that when we heal we should use the correct frequency to counteract a condition.

A student of Hayashi explained this very same thing in an article written in 1928 “I have experienced/researched some treatments but Reiki is the best as far as I know. Reiki is the most unique and the most effective, it can really heal any disease………when my hands with activated blood are put on the patient's body, I think my blood vibration may promote the patient's blood vibration. Blood current, vibration may become the same” ("A Treatment to Heal Diseases, Hand Healing" by Shouoh Matsui in the magazine "Sunday Mainichi", Mar. 4, 1928). It is also worth noting that the frequencies of the symbols may clash so they should always be used separately unless guided for a specific healing by intuition.

Fiction

Fact

You can move onto the next level of your Reiki course whenever it is right for you. Everyone has a different higher path and will move along that path at differing speeds. For some people learning Reiki is something very natural to them and they can quickly progress from one level to another for others it will be a much slower progression. It really depends on how enlightened you are, how much self-healing you do and your lifestyle after your Reiki training.

There needs to be a gap between becoming a Reiki Practitioner and teaching Reiki but it does not have to be a year or 6 months or any other given time. It is always the time that is right for you as an individual with a particular path in life.
