[T501]The Healing Art Of Pet Parenthood

by Cristian, Cri

Reikiis a Japanese type of spiritual practice also used for stress reduction andrelaxation. It is a technique that also helps promote healing either for selfor for other people. It is characterized as a practice of "laying of hands".

Thehealing powers of the technique are based on the idea that there is an unseen"life force energy" that flows through each person. This life forceis said to be the reason why people are alive. When one's life force energy islow, then people are likely to get sick or feel weak. If the life force ishigh, people fell healthy and happy.

Reikiis also a form of meditation used as a type of therapy for treating physical,emotional, and mental diseases. The name Reiki is taken from two Japanese charactersthat describe energy itself. The word "rei", which means"unseen" or "spiritual" and "ki" which means"energy" or "life force" is combined to become Reiki. InEnglish, its meaning is usually given as "universal life energy".

Itwas Mikao Usui who was known to have developed Reiki in 20th century Japan. Story has it that Usui received the abilityof healing after going through three weeks of fasting and meditating on top of Mount Kurama. Practitioners of Reiki use atechnique similar to that of the laying on of hands.

Thisaction is said to promote the channeling of "healing energy" toanother person. The energy flows through the palms and brings along with ithealing powers that can be used for self-treatment as well as for treatingothers.

Reikiis a simple, natural as well as safe method of dispensing spiritual healing andself-improvement. It is said to be effective in providing alternative treatmentfor virtually every known illness and malady. Not only that, Reiki also helpscreate an added beneficial effect, that of spiritual healing. This method isalso said to work well when combined with other medical or therapeutictechniques to help relieve side effects and promote recovery.

Reiki,although seen as a very powerful healing technique, is an amazingly simple tolearn. Reiki and the ability to use it effectively cannot be taught in theusual sense. The skill is said to be "transferred" to the studentduring a Reiki class. This ability is not merely learned but is passed on by aReiki master to the student during a gathering known as "attunement".After the skill has been passed on, it allows the student to tap into anunlimited supply of "life force energy" that can then be used toimprove one's health and enhance the one's quality of life.

Althoughthe practice of Reiki may be spiritual in nature, it is not considered as areligion. There are no set of beliefs that one should learn about beforelearning to practice the technique known as Reiki. The practice does not dependon any form of dogma.

Itwill work whether the student believes it or not. But it is said that thepractice of Reiki helps people to keep in touch of their spiritual selvesrather than the intellectual concept that it provides.

Thepractice of Reiki also aims to develop and promote living in harmony withothers. Aside from practicing Reiki and its principles, the founder of theReiki system, Mikao Usui also recommends the practice of simple ethical idealsthat can lead to peace and harmony among people. Getting to know what Reiki ismay help people not only become a healing channel but also a tool to promotepeace among other people.

A Japanese system of natural healing called Reiki is based on channeling healing energy through the hands. This healing art was lost for centuries but was rediscovered by Dr Usui in the early 1900's in Japan. Reiki is a special kind of healing energy that has its own consciousness. The practitioner does not guide Reiki energy.

This healing energy guides itself by communicating with the clients higher self and goes naturally to where the client needs healing.

When a practitioner of Reiki, is doing a healing they sometimes feel heat or cold or tingling in the hands when the hands pass over an area that needs to be healed. The Reiki energy will automatically go where the healing needs to be done.

A Reiki Practitioner does not need to learn how to do Reiki as you would learn other healing techniques. Reiki is simply passed on to the student through a Reiki Master. This is called an attunement. The Reiki master uses different symbols to pass on for different levels of Reiki. There are 3 levels of Reiki and the Master Level.

It is a very simple and easy process. The student can immediately start giving Reiki treatments. To start giving the treatments the Reiki Practitioner draws the symbols for what level they are at, in the palms of the hands to activate the healing energy. Your intentions alone can activate the energy itself to do a healing. The Practitioner is shown where to place the hands on the person to be healed. Then the healing Begins. When you are healing with energy time and space are irrelevant. Therefore Reiki Healing can also be sent at a distance. This is called long distant healing.

In 1938 Mrs Takata who was a student of Dr Usui brought Reiki to the western world. After the second world war Mrs Takata was the only practicing Reiki Master in the world. She was the only teacher to be taught from and she was very rigid in her teaching trying to keep the tradition going. Some students became more concerned in keeping the tradition they ignored there own intuition and inner knowledge.

In 1970 to become a master she would charge a fee of $10,000 dollars for the Master Level training. This would discourage many would be teachers. She discouraged students to expand their many different levels of guidance. Her way would be the only way.

Eventually Reiki lost some of it vitality for each teacher passed on a little less than the time before. As time went on and more teachers were trained the price to become a master went down. The nature of the Reiki energy began to heal its own expression. Deeper aspects of healing began to surface. Reiki was found to heal deeper and deeper. Students were being allowed to branch off and listen to their own guidance and healing techniques. They began experimenting, adding knowledge and talking and exchanging information with others. By doing this depth was added to their understanding and they developed their own style, improving the effectiveness of their own healing abilities.

Because people have opened up Reiki has been able to evolve, develop and grow. Reiki heals and guides all those who practice it. To choose a teacher you want to pass the attunements on to you use your own guidance and be aware of what this persons energy feels like to you, Then decide.
