How is a Reiki Treatment Given ?
How is Reiki given?
Reiki is an energy that flows through the hands of the practitioner by a laying on of hands on or hovering above the body of the client. The client remains fully clothed (unless another concurrent treatment such as massage from a licensed massage therapist), and can be lying on a massage table or sitting comfortably in a chair.
While Reiki is an intuitive healing art and some practitioners use this intuitive guidance to determine where to direct the energy, there are also han...

What is Lineage in Reiki?
Lineage is the path that Reiki has taken since Usui experienced his enlightenment and opened his school in 1922. As you will see in A Brief History of Reiki, the lineage does help to track somewhat the historical evolution of Reiki, although we are only focused on one branch of the tree here. Lineage is pretty important for some people and they make sure to include it in their training materials.
While I don’t think lineage is a make or break, I do believe...
A Brief History of Reiki
Mikao Usui discovered the power of Reiki* (a universal life force energy that has been around since life began on Earth) for himself in March, 1922, while on a spiritual retreat on the sacred mountain of Kurama yama, outside Kyoto, Japan. Along with a reported enlightenment, he found that he had the ability to heal, and within a month moved to Tokyo to open a school to teach his newly developed framework of Reiki healing.
*At least 4 other methods of Reiki healing were said to have ex...
How Does Reiki Heal?
As described in What is Reiki?, Reiki is life energy. It is universal or higher wisdom energy.
In Japanese health philosophy, you might have healthy energy genki, or you might have unhealthy energy byoki. Genki is normal and natural and flowing. Byoki is blocked and stagnant. You might think of it like water: Flowing water is healthy while stagnant water is not. We can see the latter in that stagnant water starts allows for mosquito breeding and the growth of unhealthy plant...
What is Reiki?
Reiki is channeled energy. It is the name for a modality or framework of energy healing that reduces stress and promotes healing. It is based on a concept of life force energy, given by a form of laying on of hands. Reiki means universal life energy, just as Prana means the same in Sanskrit.
According to Reiki.org, the word Reiki is made of two Japanese words – Rei which means “God’s Wisdom or the Higher Power” and Ki which is “life force energy”. So Reiki is actually “spiritually guided life fo...

What is Old Soul Medicine?
Medicine is anything that restores us to wholeness in some way. Etymologically med means measure and in medicine implies taking appropriate measures. Some etymological studies say this connection to measurement through med is not entirely accurate. iI is interesting, however, that medicine is typically given in measured “doses.”
Before we talk about Old Soul Medicine, I want to compare healing to cure. The terms are often confused in our vernacular, as we use healing often when ...
