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.

It is well known fact that Reiki Therapy gives wonderful result in all health diseases/ or disorders regardless of it being on a mental, physical or emotional level.

Everyone knows that it is a drugless therapy and it does no harm, but my intention is to draw reader’s attention towards most unnoticed, ignored benefits of this wonderful therapy.

  • No.1: Individualization of treatment. Which means to treat a person and not a disease/ or disorder.
  • No.2: A Reiki Therapist will treat the patient on all 3 levels (i.e. mental / physical / emotional) at some time by treating his/her Chakras.
  • No.3: Reiki Therapy has no contradictions to any other treatments, but at the same time it is complementary with Alternative and Conventional medicines.
  • No.4: There are no restrictions on food intake.
  • No.5: Reiki Therapist also provides stress counseling/coherence therapy.
  • No.6: There is no social stigma attached to getting treated by a Reiki Therapist like with some other alternative therapies / psychiatrists, as A Reiki Therapist can conduct a routine session with Arthritis patient and next with a Depression patient.
  • No.7: You yourself can go for Reiki attunement, and can start your own treatment.
  • No.8: Last but not the least, now Reiki is gaining its place in colleges of alternative medicine in and out of India also.

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.

When someone undergoes a therapy which He / She is not aware about, It is very natural to have some ( …”a lot of”…) questions in mind but when these questions are carefully answered in proper, the person can start his/her treatment with ease. In this post, I have listed some Q’s & A’s which I have frequented across in my practice.

Q1: What is Reiki Therapy?

  • Reiki is a type of alternative medicine. Reiki means, Universal Energy, which flows from the universe itself.
  • In Reiki therapy, the belief is, that we are born with a unique immunity, meaning: our body has its own healing power and at that, we are pure, non-toxic.and our channels are opened.
  • But as we age, we are exposed to various toxins, impurities, stress etc. and all these factors leads to blockage of our channels. Hence, as a result, we get diseases/disorders namely mental, physical, or emotional.

Q2: What are Channels?

  • Channels are the Centers in our body (In Layman terms: just as Fan Regulators) and they control our bodily functions; Physical, Mental and Emotional.
  • Hence, it is of grave importance that they should be in proper balance.
  • Imbalance/Disturbance of Channels we will lead to ill-effects of our health (life).

Q3: If it is Universal, than how one can give it / receive it?

  • Every living creature constantly radiates different forms of energy. Hence, Energy flow between physical body and Universe is a continuous process. (For ex: Fresh morning breeze rejuvenates everyone, and the universal flow is so strong, that the recipient gets revitalized instantly.).
  • Reiki Master does not give/create any Reiki. Reiki is itself flowing in the universe. Consider Reiki Practitioner as a Pure Medium, which can channelize this energy to the patient.
  • Hence in Layman terms, we say, Reiki Practitioner gives Reiki and patient receives it.

Q 4: So, is it a systemic course?.

  • It is a systemic course and it, like any other system of treatment, also has stages which you have to go through.
  • After Stage 1 itself, person is able to heal oneself and also can treat others.
  • Stage 2 intensifies the system and enables one to give distant treatment.
  • And Stage 3 is divided in to A and B. After stage 3A one can become a Master but cannot give attunements. It is only after Stage 3B that, one is able to give attunements to others.

Q 5: Can anyone & everyone learn Reiki?

  • Yes, anyone can learn Reiki, but it takes time and lots of practice to channelize the energy and also it is upon practitioner to the extent he / she is able to do so.

Q 6: So how will you treat me? And what should I do to at the time of treatment?.

  • You need not do anything except relaxing yourself on the treatment table. I will be placing my hands on / or above few inches from the point which is to be treated and energy will channelize itself in your body.

Q 7: Will I feel some flow of Reiki in my body?

  • Well you may / or you may not possibly experience some sort of vibration, warmth or sleepiness. But if you do not experience anything, it does not mean you will not be benefited by Reiki. Benefits of Reiki will be for sure.

Q 8: What if I feel sleepy during the treatment session, should I sleep at that time?

  • Yes, sure. If you feel sleepy during the treatment session, it is a great sign because when Reiki relaxes your nerves/muscles, you would want to have a good sleep. In fact it is common spectacle in our practice.

Q 9: Is Reiki only for Acute illness or even Chronic diseases/disorders can be cured?

  • Reiki can cure Chronic, as well as Acute diseases. For cases, where Cure is very challenging, improvement to some extent is for sure.

Q 10: How long it will take for to see the result?

  • In Reiki therapy result depends upon 3 things in major e.g.
  1. Whether the Disease/Disorder is Acute or Chronic in nature.
  2. Its severity, and most importantly
  3. Body’s receptiveness towards Reiki flow.

Q 11: Does Reiki give long lasting result?

  • Yes, it does.

Q 12: Aha! So do you mean to say that my illness will never re-occur for life time?

  • Unless and until, imbalances are not created/occur in your lifetime environment, leading once again to the disorder condition, I would definitely say that it is possible to achieve complete cure by Reiki.

Q 13: Ok. Got it!. But will I have to consider any insignificant restriction in my food habits during Reiki?            

  • No. Never !. (But, if you are being treated for fever, it is best understood to refrain from Cold-natured food items)

Q 14: Do I need to stop my present treatment?

  • No need to restrict any treatment while undergoing Reiki Treatment. If any, Reiki will only have complimentary effects if taken along with other Treatments and improvement can be beyond expectation. But no side effects at all.

These are questions which I have been answering the most. Feel free to discuss/inquire about other questions/issue at ease.

I Duly appreciate  in advance, your feedback/suggestions/questions.
