Information About Reiki Seattle Clients Will Find Interesting

By Stacey Massey


People with an interest in natural healing may want to learn the ancient art of Reiki. The hands are the means through which vital, positive energy is dispersed into another person to stimulate healing and restore a healthy balance. If considering learning how to perform Reiki Seattle residents may find the following background information about it of interest to them.

The history of Reiki dates back to 1922 in Japan where it was founded by Mikao Usui, a Buddhist. His teachings produced what is now termed the "Traditional Japanese" method, as opposed to its Westernized counterpart. They differ from each other in that the Japanese form is primarily based on intuition and the Western version uses a more systematic approach. However, they both feature three levels of mastery.

The focus of the Western form is mainly to keep increasing one's "attunement" level and impart healing throughout the entire body using a formalized pattern for hand placement. This method was developed mostly by Hawayo Takata. With the Japanese Reiki, there are fewer established rules and it is more dependent on one's instincts as a healer. It is also more specific, directed at those particular parts of the body which require healing.

This energy force is referred to as "Qi" and is accessible to all who have gone through the proper attunement steps. Once the energy enters the body of another it is thought to invoke an overall holistic healing effect which influences the spirit, mind, and body. Qi is thought to be automatically directed to the part of the body where it must go.

As this gentle energy flows into a person, it helps to reduce stress and causes relaxation. The palms of the practitioner's hands act as the medium through which it can be delivered to the subject. Also, the positive intent of the healer is thought to help guide the energy, bringing wellness to both practitioner and recipient.

Many forms of illness seem to respond favorably to the application of Reiki. Patients suffering from such conditions as anemia, nephritis, gastric ulcers, hypertension, some types of communicable diseases and morning sickness in women who are pregnant, have all shown improvement after this approach was used. Cancer patients undergoing radiation or chemotherapy also noted fewer side effects after this healing technique was applied.

The understanding is that Reiki works by shifting positive energy to those area which are affected by blockages or high amounts of negative energy which results in illness. The positive energy effectively disables the negative through increased vibrations into its energy field, making healing possible once this is achieved.

This powerful but gentle healing technique has been practiced for centuries because of the many ways it can encourage well-being in both those who perform it and those who receive it. If used along with other methods of alternative healing it can also make them more effective. After undergoing a treatment of Reiki Seattle patients are sure to experience improved health both mentally and physically from this holistic therapy.
