Reiki works on an energy level. Energy flows within the physical body through pathways called chakras and meridians. It also flows around us as the aura. This energy nourishes the organs and cells of the body.
Our personal energy is responsive to thoughts and feelings, and becomes disrupted when we take on negative thoughts or feelings about ourselves. These negative thoughts and feelings cause disruptions in the flow of energy within and around us. This energy is, in turn, disrupted, causing the organs and tissues in the physical body to function less effectively. Areas become dis-eased and imbalanced.
Reiki heals by moving through our personal energy fields and charging them with positive energy. In doing so, it raises the vibratory level of our energy and causes the negative thoughts and feelings to break away. Reiki Healers visualise a series of symbols to increase the effectiveness of the energy. Reiki clears, heals and straightens the energy pathways, correcting dis-ease and imbalances. The physical body's natural healing processes are encouraged to function and are increased in effectiveness. Energy is therefore allowed to again flow through the body in a healthy and natural way.
