Principles of Healing

Healing is not the popular conception of treating the patient to reduce the symptoms only. Healing is complete removal of the causes of the disease. Healing is returning to a state of alignment or attunement with your Higher Self.

How it is done

The easiest way to explain the process is that the practitioner places his hands on the recipient with the intent of bringing healing and willing for Reiki energy to flow. Either the patient or his relative or a friend should have had requested to receive Reiki for the healing to take place and some kind of remuneration must be fixed before healing is given for the Reiki to be effective.

There are a set of thirty hand positions traditionally taught, which give good coverage over the patient's entire body. It is not necessary to always follow these positions. If there is a specific area of concern that the practitioner either knows or feels intuitively, he can keep his hands right there for as long as necessary.

The Reiki could be given to yourself or to anyone else beyond space and time with the help of a Reiki crystal, which has to be energized by the Reiki Grand Master.

Holding two crystals in both your hands, the whole process of giving Reiki to yourself or to others could be finished within 15 minutes, which would otherwise need one and a half hours.


Reiki used for healing during pregnancy

Frans Stiene, a well-known Reiki Master in one of his published articles says that :
"We were living and teaching Reiki in Darjeeling, India, when we decided to try for a child. Straight after conception I placed my hands on Browen's (his wife) sacral chakra, the area of the ovaries and a tremendous heat was channeled into the womb and it felt as if I was helping the seeds. This was the first contact that I had with my child because we soon realized that Bronwen was pregnant. After a 10 year relationship we had imagined that it would take a much longer period before she got pregnant, but we were now both sure that the Reiki energy was helping to speed things up.

I decided to do a daily Reiki session on our baby. It began to feel as if I was a part of the baby and of Bronwen, who had a deeper connection than I did with our new child. When I placed my hands on the womb I felt straight away a beautiful energy streaming into our baby and I felt overwhelmed with emotions, which I never knew I had.

I would love to promote Reiki as a means of helping couples to cope with pregnancy and as a way of getting the husbands more involved, as this is a special time of sharing and communicating with each other, for all three of you. During childbirth, I also used Reiki as a technique for releasing tension and stress (when Bronwen allowed me!).

For me it felt like I was more a part of the pregnancy and birth. When our baby finally arrived and we touched each other's skin, it was with recognition as we had already known each other's energies".
