Reiki According to the history of Reiki as it has been told, it was rediscovered in the mid 1800's by Dr. Mikao Usui, a Japanese monk educator. This information comes from in-depth research conducted by Frank Arjava Petter in his book "Reiki Fire" by Lotus Light ~ Shangri-La Publishers © 1997,1998 ~ Twin Lakes, WI, we now know the complete story. Reiki is one of the Buddhist offspring of Qi Gong with added Shontoist influence. Qi Gong depicts the teaching of life energy in its original sense. Qi Gong is the study if Qi or vital energy, that circulates in the human body and it has been practiced by the Chinese for thousands of years. Qi Gong is mastered by many years of practice. Herein lies the difference with Reiki. The energy is transferred or made available to the student by initiation, not by long years of practice. The essential vehicle of Reiki is touch applied whenever and wherever appropriate. "Healthcare organizations are beginning to investigate complementary therapies and have endorsed Reiki as a valuable part of their ongoing education for professional staff. These organizations include the following: Concord Regional VNA Hospice House, Concord, NH, The Medical Center of Central Massachusetts, The Harvard Community Health Plan and others. These are just a few of the many who have participated in an in-service or sent staff for training in Reiki." 1

What Reiki is Reiki is a laying on of hands healing system. It is a precise method for connecting Universal energy with the body's innate powers of healing. It is a powerful, yet gentle, hands on healing art and is a powerful adjunct to conventional therapeutic modalities. Reiki fuels the body's homeostatic mechanisms, which are systems of balance in the physical body. In addition to balancing the physical body, Reiki acts on many other levels, including, but not limited to the mental, emotional, and spiritual levels. This life force energy supports optimal development and fulfillment. Reiki promotes the highest healing good for all things. How the energy is ultimately incorporated into and used by the recipient is determined by the recipient as the energy flows to where it is needed. Reiki can be very subtle, yet none the less effective in its outcome.

Distance Healing Distance healing or the healing of someone or something that is not physically present has been around since the beginning of time. It has many names, including prayer, distant intentionality, and the non local mind. Reiki (and Divine Intervention ) is another form of distance healing and is empowered by all of the above and with and through the energy of a Second Degree (or higher) Reiki Practitioner. The currency, in its most simple form is love and compassion. It is the currency and at the same time the vehicle in which it travels from Practitioner to recipient. In distance healing the Practitioner holds in his or her minds eye an image or picture of the recipient and and pictures the flow of the Reiki energy (or Divine Intervention or other forms of prayer as mentioned below) to that person or place. For this Practitioner, it is a prayer for healing, given in a quiet contemplative period of time. The average length of a distance healing session varies between a few minutes and an hour. I have found that I benefit most from a distance healing session when I give myself some time to relax during the scheduled distance healing session and for a few minutes afterward. I also find that drinking a couple of glasses of water after a session is also beneficial and helps to move the energy through my body and I feel more balanced. In my work with distance healing my prayers may include any of the following as appropriate: Reiki, Divine Intervention , the Medicine Buddha energy ( see Mantra of the Medicine Buddha ) , The Prayer Wheel (see Advice on the Benefits of Prayer Wheels ) and the Om Mani Padme Hum Healing sessions are at the request of the recipient. I have had family members come to me asking me to hold a session for this or that family member because they felt that the person would benefit. While that may be true, the nature of healing is that it is always with permission and mindful intent of the recipient. Free will is always honored. The recipient must give permission. Healing prayers can be requested by recipients and family members. In addition to healing prayers that I can offer, you might also be interested in contacting Unity Online for prayers. You can also learn more about the some of the kinds of healing prayers I offer by exploring the links above.
Blessings, Nellie
