What is Reiki?

Reiki is the Universal Life Energy - an energy which is all around us, in our bodies, animals, plants, earth.. Reiki is always possitive, it can never harm or be forced to someone, it can never be "too much" of it. It's life itself, the entire Universe is made of this energy.. We as human beings have the amazing gift of using this energy by chanelling it from the limitless source - The Universe (in religions often called "God"). However you call it or whatever you beliefs, Reiki is here to help you if you ask for it and accept this Universal Life Energy to enter your body, fix your health, mind, soul and spirit.. It simply flows through the body of the healer and through his palms into anything he touches. The body itself is soaking this magnificient energy in perfect amount, and will stop when having enough. Healer feels this energy flow and manages his hand possition to suit your body needs, so Reiki gets exactly when it's needed the most. 

How Reiki works

The system of Reiki is made up of five elements - guidelines, techniques, hands-on healing, symbols and mantras and a blessing called reiju. Reiki practitioners work with these elements to clear the energy in their bodies to return to the true nature, which is the pure being that we all really are, without all the garbage that gets thrown on top. These five elemements are the tools that we work with, and the garbage I mean could be feelings of unworthiness, depression, insecurity, jealousy, anger, grief... Or indeed it can be physical issues that are irritating or totally debilitating. The body is not just a physical being or just a thinking being or spiritual being. You are made of all these aspects, and the system of Reiki works on this complete interconnected being. Although the system is ostensibly energetic it affects every aspect of your life. 

Working with the five elements stimulates energy (Reiki) to move into the body. Some people can feel this energy flow, some don't feel anying - all is just correct and individual. The energy (Reiki) we already have in our body is often not flowing with ease - the psychical or physical issues are causing blockages and is clogging up to, obstructing it's flow. When our life energy flows without interruption, that is when all organs and the whole body can be fully energies, maintained and healed. Indeed this needs to be supported by your intention too - I can move this energy and help your body to recover, but if you will fall back into your old habits and mistakes it will turn back to it's old sickness too. The way to complete health and everlasting happiness is only achieved when our body, mind & spirit are fully aligned.. This state is often called enlightenment.

What happens during/after the healing?

Working with the system of Reiki shifts the energy. When this happens it is possible that you might feel it. When all the blocked emotions from past (regret, pain from loss, jealousy, fear, something you couldn't get over), it is very likely that you will feel all this once again. Everything we onced experienced and didn't like we tried to push away from us, but in fact we only pushed it into our emotional body (this is one of four main energetic bodies that are keeping our solid one alive). It stays there and keeps attracting the same circumstances, people and events until we give them up by rising our energy vibrations on higher frequency, which is exactly what Reiki does when flowing through our body. On it's way through, it cleanse and unblock all the blocks but indeed, they have to "get out" somehow - it doesn't just dissapear (cause that would be just too easy :-) So when it's finally leaving our emotional body, we feel them again, and it may play with us a bit. This is very important for you to understand, because depending upon how many and how deep your blockages were, that's how strong it will feel when they leave. This is nothing to be afraid of, it will only be a very short time and you will recognise it's just like an echo from the past.. I will be here the whole time, supporting you through this process so we make sure you understood fully your lessons and you are really deeply healed, forgiven and peaceful..

Pushing our emotion deep into ourselves only move them into our emotional body (which is one of four main energetic bodies, which are keeping the physical one alive). When these low-vibrational energies are printed in our emotional body, the Law of Universe makes sure we are going to attract exactly those situations, people and events that will make us feel just those emotions over and over again. That is why we are going into circles for few years (sometimes even whole lifetime) with no understanding whatsoever why are we experiencing the same kind of bad things again, like "why do I keep meeting the same sort of people who are causing the same troubles and making me going through the same hell again, I don't deserve this, it is not my fault..". The truth is that yes, it is our fault, we attracted everything into our lifes by ourselves, no one else did. The good news are that it is also us who can stop this from happening, solve this issue and move on - simply by removing those emotions and unfinished businesses from our emotional bodies. And this is what Reiki can help us with. 

Some of the Reiki benefits - healing ways

 For those who need to make and idea how can Reiki help them personaly, in their lifes and problems. Many many many (1000x many) times I see people being skeptic about Reiki, thinking how can some energy healing help them if they need this and this.. Whatever your problem, you don't realise how complete, amazing and powerful Reiki is.. Here is just few things for you to get a basic picture of what can Reiki do for you, if you allow it to help you..

•    Creates deep relaxation and aids the body to release stress and tension
• It accelerates the bodie's self-healing abilities
• Aids better sleep, deep rest and allows your mind to co-operate with your body, not against it..
• Help with accute (injuries) and chronic problems (asthma, eczema, headaches, infection, tooth pain, peroid pain, upsett stomach, sickness,     weakness,... )
• Removes energy blockages, adjust the energy flow of the endocrine system bringing the body into balance and harmoy, so as such it can     work properly..
• Assist the body in cleaning itself from toxins, sometimes even removes pills efects (because your body recognise pills as chemic-toxins..)
•  Reduces some of the side effects of drugs and helps the body to recover from drug therapy after surgery and chemotherapy
• Supports the immune system - by giving your body it's very own energy it just breathes the lifes in your veins, allowing your body to fully     absorb it's natural energy which it need to run every day, heal itself, treat illness, infection.. Your body can't operate without this     energy*
• Increases vitality and postpones the aging process
• Raises the vibrational frequency of the body
• Helps spiritual growth and emotional clearing

*your body takes Reiki from food and air, but also colours or materials such as stones etc. Your chakras are energy centres in your body which have the ability to accept the Universal Energy and pass it to your organs etc. But if your chakras are blocked, they can't accept the energy anymore and you are getting weak, sick, ill.. Your body may just miss nature, colours or any other sources of Universal Energy, or you may block your chakras yourself by bad life style, thinking, emotions, problems, childhood.. Reiki is the most effective, natural way how to give this energy to your body, give it directly to your chakras so they will not be only unblocked again, but will be soak in energy... So then they can give it to your body and all system will be fixed.. That's how magical Reiki is, and yet it's the most natural thing ever.. 

.. Yet we are only talking about Reiki I. - the case when Reiki heals you directly. But with Reiki II. you can heal also your past and future, send this energy into any circumstanec you wish to heal, because Reiki dissolves any bad energies and creates the best possible.. 

I could give you lot's of examples how Reiki helped me to fix my past, helped me create the best future possible, help my friends - clean their homes from bad energies.. I could talk ages and ages about this but it would be honestly forever :-) I hope this will give you basic view and I'm looking forward to hear from anyone who wishes to be helped.. Because I am here to help.. 

Animals and plants
All of this applies for animals too - their bodies and lifes are just as ours.. With Reiki you can help your pets and animals just as yourself, and to be honest I found animals to be responding to Reiki much better than humans.. I think it's because they are just innocent creatures - humans created all evil on Earth by themselves, including their own problems and blocks. But animals are pure, honest, clean, ready to live and love.. That's why Reiki is fully accepted into their bodies straight away..

And the same for nature - all your plants, flowers, trees, greens you grow in your garden.. Everything is made of Universal Energy and as living creatures they all need Reiki just as we do.. You can't even imagine how can you help anything living around you by giving it Reiki..  

Reiki in Pregnancy

As as mother, I can tell you from my own experiences how it is to use the great power of Reiki to help yourself and your baby in this very important time.. I had my son in August 2011, my pregnancy was well planned forward so I was working with Reiki as much as I could to help myself and my son. All the way throug trying to conceive, all stages of pregnancy, mainly the labour and after care until now.. I can't emphasize enough how important Reiki was for both of us. When I was pregnant people used to ask me, wondering "how comes you look so healhy and happy", and honestly I have to say I felt great - no sickness whatsoever, no backpain, depression, nervosity or any kind of "side effects" which pregnancy usualy brings.. I'm relaxed, happy, calm and I do enjoy every second of my life now.. This way I'm able to be preparing to be a mother, mentally and practically - Reiki is working perfectly to help my body and mind to deal with these massive changes every day.. And indeed it's great for my baby too, we both are doing very well :-) So again, if you are mum-to-be or trying for a baby, please get in touch and I will give you my full support, help & advices if you wish!
