Learning About Reiki

And I thought Scientology was funny. Has Reiki been covered on South Park yet? Oh yeah, I also learned that Jesus may have been a Reiki master.

Reiki FAQs:

What is Reiki? Quite simply put, is pure energy that comes directly from the highest source and is given by the laying on of hands.
How does Reiki work? Reiki helps to restore and rebalance our energy by helping us to release and remove these blocks that have lodged themselves within the system, and restoring a natural healthy free flow of our energy. Reiki balances, recharges and clears the energy of the person, which helps in raising the vibration level on the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level.
What can be treated with Reiki? Reiki has also had great success in helping to heal more serious illnesses and diseases such as herniated disks, broken bones, migraines, cancer, depression, HIV, high blood pressure, ADD and ADHD and heart disease.
I have heard that Reiki can be sent to others at a distance. How does this work? To distantly send Reiki to someone in need of the Reiki energy, one must first be attuned to Level II. The Reiki practitioner uses the distance symbol which is one of the 3 symbols they obtain and are attuned to in level II. The practitioner then empowers the symbol and allows the Reiki to flow to the intended person by use of a picture, a name written on a piece of paper or simply by thought of the person. This method works regardless of where the person is, or what they are doing at the time the energy is sent.
What is an attunement? Reiki is taught differently than the way other healing energies are taught. The attunement process is basically an initiation /ritual and aligning with the Reiki Energy for the student to become a channel for the flow of the Reiki Energy. This ability is transferred to the student via an attunement from a Reiki Master. During the attunement, the Rei or God-Consciousness makes adjustments in the student’s chakras and energy centers to accommodate the ability to channel Reiki and then links the student to the Reiki source.
