Sending Healing Energy Across The Globe

I found a website which has a very interesting program called The Global Reiki Healing Network. http://www.reiki.org/faq/WhatIsReiki.html A striking concept. At the site, you can commit to sending daily healing energy to areas of conflict and disaster. If we all did that, I wonder if it would it make a palpable difference in our world? I am an optimist and believe it would. So send your healing, positive energy where it needs to go by visiting this site.

For those of you new to Reiki, there was also a good description of Reiki at that website. The quote is a good representation of the feeling I get when I have Reiki done on me.If you have not tried it, you should. If you already have it done on you, maybe it is time to do it for others.

"A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing. Many have reported miraculous results" (Like me, for instance.)

Blessings,

What Does Traditional Medicine Miss, that Alternative Has?

I found a remarkable story about Reiki healing at this site

http://www.reiki.org/ReikiStories/ReikiStories.html#HealsHearing

You can read. It is powerful and it gave me chills to read it. But the gist was that while having Reiki done for her backache, quite unbeknownst to healer or patient, a woman was healed from being clinically deaf in one ear. There are many such stories at the site. And it opens up the conversation...

Why does Reiki work? How does it work? What does it do to us physiologically, and what does it do psychologically? It is the same question I ask of all alternative medicines. What does traditional medicine miss, that alternative medicine taps into- with great success?

If you have answers to these questions, please post them. I would very much like to hear you expertise as well as your personal experiences.

I also invite you to read some of my other writings on other subjects. Here is an excerpt from my newest article on my hub, “On Spirituality, religion, and Creating Our World.”

So let us take a better look at Jesus, since he was our role model as Christians. Jesus said that we, like him, are sons of GOD, and children of GOD. With this in mind, consider that Jesus was not teaching people that HE was special, and made in the image of and likeness God (which he was, of course)... but rather that we ALL are special, and made in the likeness of GOD. Consider that Jesus was saying that there is God in each of us. Now if that is true it follows that if Jesus can perform miracles, walk on water, feed the masses, etc, so can we all.

Reiki- Bringing Healing to a World of Pain

Although I am fascinated by Reiki, I must admit, that I am no expert at it. I have had it used on me and loved it. But I consider this blog more of an "exploration" than "expert-ation."

Reiki is one of those alternative medicine 'things' I have had done on me a few times, in times of stress. And it has made a difference. And then I have said to myself "I'd like to do that more often." Or maybe "I'd like to learn how to do that." But then life goes by and I never do it.

But clearly there is something to this Reiki thing. Something otherworldly, supernatural, or holy, if you will.

I remember the first time that Reiki was done on me. I was sitting in a women's group circle. I was in angst over some piece of my past that was coming up- some piece of trauma. It was triggered, I believe, by something going on with my alcoholic then-husband. In thinking about it, I became distraught. If any of you have ever had severe childhood trauma, you may know what I mean.

My breath began coming in gasps. There was no air, and my chest was caving in. In an instant I was back there, in the terror of what had happened to me. I was six years old again, and I was dying, just as I had been afraid of death then.

Luckily one of the women in the group was a Reiki Master. I didn't know this. I just felt some hands on me. One came to rest on my back and the other on my chest. The hands were warm and the hands somehow brought peace. It was a peace I had seldom felt- a peace that swept over my whole body with a warmth that was palpable. Suddenly I was very much alive. In an instant I was alive, and it was all because of those peace-bringing, healing hands.

I don't recall any words being spoken. If there were words, they were unimportant. There was something very powerful happening inside of me, and it transcended words.

Later in reflection, I thought to myself, 'if this is what Reiki is, it is amazing.' I even thought 'this is one of the most powerful things I have ever experienced. Everybody should be doing this and everybody should be learning this.'

I never got back to really thinking about the power of Reiki until now, writing this blog. I have since realized that my contribution in life is a different one than Reiki, although I make personal use of it when I can. My unique path is to educate people so they can be healed from, or avoid, addictions. (Please feel free to read my blog at www.secondhandaddiction.blogspot.com)

But I write this blog in case perhaps your path, is to bring this healing to people. If you think that may be your path, I invite you to begin the process, and not to wait any longer. There is a whole world of unresolved pain out there, and that world needs the peace that you and your hands can bring.

And to those of you that already do this great work, please write a response to my blog to tell us all more about it. We want to hear from you.

Tell Me Please, Why and How Does Reiki Work?

How does Reiki Work? Hmph. Another one of those new-agey, wacky alternative medicines that gullible people spend all their money on. I very seriously doubt it will work, don’t you?

I myself would be inclined to agree with this statement, except for one small detail. It does work. And millions of people have found healing and growth through the process and can attest to the truth of this.

So then the question becomes- as we sit atop our high horse in this, the age of reason- how does Reiki work? Or more to the point, why does it work. By all accounts it shouldn’t work. It doesn’t use any drugs. You don’t have to cut into anything or anyone. Normal doctors don’t use it. I can’t see it with my eyes or hear it with my ears. So, sorry lady. I don’t believe it. It just doesn’t work.

Except that it does.

In fact, In my research I have learned that Reiki is an age-old Japanese method of healing and spiritual enhancement that has been around for centuries. (Hmph. All the more reason to be skeptical. I mean what did they know about medicine a thousand years ago?) Reiki uses a technology whereby you lay your hands on a person. (Put your hands on someone, you have to be kidding me. I’m a scientist.) It is as if you use your life-force or energy to move the stuck places in another person life-force. (Energy and life-force, what is this nonsense?)

Well according to research it now appears that science itself is coming up with a good and scientific theory to answer the question ‘How does Reiki work?’ Because Reiki actually does work. And the explanation is coming from the new and pioneer field of high-energy physics. (Hmm. Physics, huh?) As these scientists talk about high-energy physics, they bandy about terms like “subatomic matter”, “unpolarized” and “vortex” theory. From all of this, one gets the strong impression that there is some kind of energy flowing- energy that is way too small for us to detect by our standard methods of measurement.

However, we can certainly feel this energy. And we feel it distinctly- such as the tingling, warm, pins-and-needles feeling that a Reiki practitioner has in the hands as he or she works on someone. We also feel it when we are practiced upon- like a sensation of warmth, or even cold, in an area of the body that is worked upon. (Hmph. You’re not just pulling my leg are you?)

It is interesting to note what I also found out, that Reiki has been around since the time of Christ. Do you remember, for instance, that old ‘laying on of hands’ stuff. (Well, you’ve got a good point there.) So in truth, there is nothing new and different here. And as we look at alternative medicines like Reiki it is important to look back, as well as ahead, on the premise that maybe those simple folks of yore, going on good old-fashioned instinct, may have known a little something. The first thing they may have known has to do with plain old common sense. The first thing they may have known might well have been…If it works, then use it- better know as “The proof is in the pudding.” And that, my friends, sounds a lot like using verified scientific experimentation to me. (Well, I have to admit, you’ve got me there, sister.)
