Rei – Spiritual Wisdom
The word “Rei” is translated as the ‘wisdom and knowledge of all the Universe’ or ‘atmosphere of the Divine’. It means the Higher Intelligence that guides the creation and functioning of the Universe; the wisdom that comes from God (or the Source, the Creator, the Universe or All That Is), which is all knowing, and which understands the need and the cause of all problems and difficulties, and how to heal them.
Reiki energy is a unique vibrational frequency that is channelled from the Universal Life-Force, through the practitioner’s hands to the client. This energy transference goes to the deepest level; the ‘higher self’ or ‘soul self’ of the recipient. This brings about healing to an aspect of the body to where it is most needed.
Reiki also works to cleanse the aura of negativity and impurities. Why is this so important? Because we want to attract positive people and situations into our life, rather than negative ones. Over time, our aura becomes "dirty"; this is due to various negative factors in our environment (emotional, mental and physical). When this happens, we attract negative energy, instead of positive energy because ‘like attracts like’. Illness and disease is first registered in the energy field (the aura) before it manifests in the physical body so it makes sense to ensure our aura is clean at all times. Prevention is always better than cure!
Reiki has several basic effects: it brings about deep relaxation, balances the whole body, clears energy blockages, detoxifies the system, provides new vitality in the form of healing universal life energy, and increases the vibrational frequency of the body.
Body organs, the skin and protective systems such as the immune system are improved. The energy channels are opened up to allow the body to deal effectively and naturally with both stress and the build-up of toxins.
Long-term practice of Reiki will restore the general condition of the body as it cleanses the auric field thus preventing any imbalances or impurities from building up in the subtle bodies. We are learning more about how weaknesses show up in the energy field (the aura) before there is ever any evidence of it on the physical level.
Reiki is also useful when recovering from an illness, as it will provide the additional energy required recovering from the illness. This can be a very useful adjunct for anyone taking a course of drugs as it can help reduce some of the side effects. Assisting the body in the recovery after drug therapy, chemotherapy, after surgery or serious illness, such as cancer, to speed up the healing process.
In all of these cases, Reiki supplies the body with extra life energy, enabling the body to bounce back more quickly from the burdens of surgery, toxicity, and stress in the body. It will also reinforce the effects of any other method of natural healing. It can be used as a supplementary therapy as it is a truly complementary system of treatment.
