Couple of weeks back, Male aged 30-35 years approached me to treat his stammer. He was a salaried professional and everyday was a struggle for him. He had to do multiple concalls within team, with clients and stammering just made it very difficult for him. It would make him less confident than he usually is.

Generally we prefer to hear an audio or speak with the person to assess the intensity of his/her trouble.

After Chakra examination and an approximate 30 minutes of case taking, I concluded that his recovery will be 50% faster than other patients. He had no family history of stammer. His stammer was completely situational and It would trigger in certain situations only, which makes him uncomfortable or anxious.

Stammer in some people is chronic, intense and continuous and in others, it is only situational.

It was decided that there would be a series of 15 sessions for 30 to 40 minutes each. During that time, he was asked to relax mentally as well as physically. No activity whatsoever. Mobile use was permitted to only listen to slow music of his choice.

I decided to treat his Third eye, Heart, Root Chakra along with his Throat Chakra. His other 3 Chakras needed more attention than Throat Chakra. Third eye Chakra is a confidence booster and it helps in relieving fear. Heart Chakra relieves stress and Root Chakra makes us more grounded and confident.

After 7-8 sessions only, he shared that his confidence level has improved. After 15th session, he confided that Reiki treatment has shown major improvement in his daily work life, and now he is less restless, less anxious and more confident in dealing with clients and his team.

[Please note: Since, in this case, Stammering is only the issue so there is nothing to share about symptoms before treatment and after treatment, as I have done in earlier articles. Also many people hesitate to speak directly to us or even in sending an audio clip, so we do not insist unless and until the patient is comfortable in doing so. ]

Although Reiki is enough as standalone therapy, sharing here some therapies which can add more benefit to it.

Note: this list of therapies can be helpful for self treatment and for practitioners also

Practicing Reiki in Nature with Fresh Air:

Best to practice Reiki in Garden/Balcony/Terrace etc. where one can feel energetic on all levels of Physical, mental and emotional levels. Moreover, when you are indoors, would help to keep area ventilated (open windows). This in turn helps in better removal of Chakra blockages.

Practicing Reiki with Sunlight:

Best to practice Reiki with early morning sunlight, which would help in revitalizing energy and provide much required nourishment. This can help in better balancing of Fire element.

Practicing Reiki with Breathing exercises:

Proper Breathing exercise helps in overall health and metabolism. Practicing Reiki with them helps in channeling energy better and maintain equilibrium

Practicing Reiki after drinking glass of water: 

Water is a good source of purification. Along with Reiki, it can improve in strengthening of digestive and excretory systems. In case of kidney stones and severe constipation, Reiki has been proved helpful where hydrotherapy alone was not enough.

Like other systems of alternative medicines, in Reiki also there are many misconceptions

Following article is an attempt to address all those questions.

No. 1: In Reiki, some sort of exercises or heating pad are suggested – No. In Reiki, there is no use of any equipment. It is a method which directs energy to recipient.

No.2: Before receiving Reiki, it is necessary to believe in Reiki and have faith in it – No. You need to be a believer of Reiki, as it is not a religious practice. In fact, to address this issue, many animal studies have also been conducted to prove its effectiveness which once again has nothing to do with belief in Reiki.

No.3: Reiki is for mental health only and it does not work for Physical health – No. Basis my personal experience as a therapist, Reiki works on overall health.

No.4: In Reiki, acute(immediate) results are not possible – No. This is also not true. Results are based on intensity / severity of immune system and whether or not, disease /disorder is chronic or not. This is similar for all systems of treatments.

No.5: If you are considering Reiki therapy, you will have stop all other treatments – No. In fact, Reiki is one of the best complementary therapies. No need at all to stop any existing treatments.

No.6: There are few side effects in Reiki as loose motion / skin rash / vomiting / running nose, etc – No. The truth is completely opposite. Basis Reiki’s energy, body heals itself and process of purification starts.

No.7: Reiki healers have powers to influence / hypnotize mind – No. They are not magicians. In fact, Reiki helps you regain your own mental ability and wisdom by Chakra regulation / balancing.

Any kind of misconception needs clarification and it is important to research on subject rather than believing what you come across as hearsay

This article is intended for everyone who has no idea of how Reiki can be done in person by keeping Reiki therapists as well as patients point of view.

When a patient comes to a therapist,

  • 1st thing to be kept in mind is Be an Active Listener: Request introduction of the patient which requires medical history and chief complains about which the patient has arrived. Many times, mental status examination of the patient is the key. (Note: if the patient wants to avoid sharing few things, it must be overlooked).

In every case, comfort of the patient is the 1st priority.

  • After case taking, request for medical reports related to as well as not related to complains shared by the patient. Sometimes what is being shared is a symptom and not a proper cause of ailment.
  • Further, if the patient needs someone as an attendant during discussions, it should be very much allowed to make the patient feel comfortable.
  • Therapists behaviour should be polite and in a respective manner.
  • Next, a comfortable resting place should be made available to ensure patient is at ease.
  • Before Chakra examination, therapist needs to have a buy-in from patient for their understanding of the therapy and any questions should be amiably responded to. Refer link here…. https://curesbyreiki.com/2013/02/03/frequently-asked-questions-faq-about-reiki-therapy/
  • Chakra examination needs to be performed before coming to any conclusion for treatment.
  • Before treatment, patient should be made aware of sensations that they can experience and healing crisis (process of body purification) and what can be expected in short/long run.
  • Hands can be placed either on the Chakra points to be treated or 1-2 inch above particular Chakra. (Note: In-person Reiki vs Distance Reiki: In Distance Reiki, treatment can take place without patient being physical present)
  • Length of the session should be anywhere between 30-60 minutes depending on the convenience and requirement of the patient.
  • After the session is compete, Therapist as well as Patient should share their experiences and their expectations for the longer course of treatment.
  • Depending upon receptivity and severity, it might take more than 1 session for the patient to experience the result. This should be shared upfront with patient to keep transparency in your treatment.
  • During the complete course of treatment, patient also needs to be transparent and share experiences and changes to therapist.

Pain & Stress are part of our life but if it becomes chronic, it turns into depression. An untreated depression can lead someone to have suicidal tendencies. Sometimes, it is absolutely okay to feel sad or disappointed, but when you have an impulse to harm yourself, you should take a back-seat and consider sincere professional assistance / treatment.

Few years back, I came across a patient who showed signs of suicidal tendencies. One female about age 30 was brought to me by one of our common friend. I was informed that the female has attempted suicide just past night. I had no detailed information regarding her depression or anything else to substantiate her agony but she was assured by my friend to get proper counselling and treatment.

During her consultation, she was quiet, did not speak much and was very much disinterested in what was happening around herself. Her depression was markedly noticeable. I requested her to feel relaxed and comfortable and started my Reiki session beginning with Crown Chakra, Third Eye and Heart Chakra in that order. It was a long session of about 90 minutes. At the end of the session, she was feeling relaxed and even laughed at one of the ice-breaker jokes which i had thrown across.

A t the end of the session, she confessed that she was not sure how Reiki would help her get relaxed and was just toeing the line on insistence of our common friend. Moreover, she assured us full heartedly that she will never ever think of self harm and would henceforth start indulging in practices which make her happy and occupy her time. Also she was grateful in telling me, that going forward, even if she comes across any low point in life, she would surely seek for assistance and treatment, rather than attempting something life threatening.

On a personal note, I was very happy that a single Long Session of Reiki, helped someone regain senses for their life!!

While pondering over this case now, it makes me realize that there lays a strong message underneath in this case for each and every one of us. Whatever we have come across, the pain, the moment, the low point of our life, all of this can be set aside by being alert to oneself and by loving oneself. (Instances where you cannot lift yourself up, one should always get connected to someone and seek for advice)

What is Reiki !


If one is familiar about concept of energy of 5 elements namely Sky, Air, Fire, Water & Earth, for them Reiki will be easy to understand. Since thousands of years, knowledge of these 5 elements is discussed between generations and passed from one to another, and as we all know that our body and mind are governed by these 5 elements and these all 5 elements has to work in harmony to maintain balance and equilibrium. Any kind of imbalance out of these 5 elements, can cause disturbances in our life and health ?

Like these all energies, Reiki is also an universal energy that can harmonize and help remove/reduce imbalances.

How Reiki works ?

In any such disturbances of energy, our body / mind looses its own ability to heal itself which is ingrained in our system since birth. Reiki helps in increasing body’s ability to heal itself. It nourishes tissues and cells and assists in natural healing process through detoxification.

Since thousands of years, Reiki is part of Indian tradition, and in many places this healing technique has achieved considerable
popularity , but still even today there are areas where it will take more time and efforts for people to comprehend it. For ex : For some people Reiki is only spiritual, only some accept Science behind it.

A spiritual leg of Reiki cannot be ignored. It is true that God has created this Universe and Universal energy flows through it. But we creature’s are also God’s creation , but we all have bodies/form which functions scientifically. Now the time has come when Reiki is gaining its room in alternative as well as Mainstream medicine.

Now-a-days, Reiki therapists are invited in reputed hospitals; doctors of conventional medicine are using Reiki in their regular practice and according to below report, Reiki is now also included in Universities of Alternative Medicine. Going forward, it is also possible, that Reiki can become part of mainstream medical education.
