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.

Acupressure and Reiki


As a Reiki therapist many times I have been asked this question: “Madam can I continue my current medication ? Will it affect the result of Reiki?

My one and only answer to this question is:  “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 affects at all”.

Another Complimentary Treatment working in unison with Reiki is Acupressure. Some of the similarities in Reiki and Acupressure are as follows : 1) To Treat the Person and not only Disease/Disorder. 2) Body and Mind are inseparable 3) Energy of 5 Elements/ Chi . 4) To help body regain its natural healing power 5) Release of Toxic matters from the body.

A notable difference is that acupressure has to apply some pressure on body for the treatment, whereas Reiki does not need to apply any pressure. Also Acupressure needs to be applied at specific points only whereas Reiki does not have that limitation. Following article provides good amount of information on Acupressure.

In my experience as a Reiki Therapist, I found it surprising for many people, when i was able to detect the hidden causes of their troubles/suffering, whether realized/unrealized by them.

For ex : When a patient was being treated for Intense Headache, during physical examination, disturbances were found in Solar Plexus. She was suffering constipation and that was the reason for headache.

Apart from these, during other treatments, many such other feelings of anxiety/fear/mood disturbances/emotional upsets/willingness or unwillingness for the session/ etc… were noticed.

The reason being,  in Reiki Therapy, it is the Recipient’s body itself, which draws the energy and the Reiki healer , hence , becomes eventual to the actual disturbances. Moreover, if the Recipient is unwilling for the treatment, Reiki itself stops flowing, hence reciprocating the feeling.

Pasted below , is one another important link for Clear understanding of Reiki :

In my experience as a Reiki Therapist, many people ask me, why do i need to have a Case-Taking Session and why do i need to examine their mental state along with their physical conditions ?

Also Many people are hesitant to go for Alternative Medicine, only for the reason that they do not want to discuss their “Emotions” with their Therapist.

Following article is a detailed explanation of all their queries about emotions and a detailed description of Organ and Disease relationship.

However, there are some differentiation’s with Chinese Medicine and the Authors Opinion.

But the theory of Organ and Emotions is beautifully linked.

If we read this article thoroughly, the concept of Psychosomatic Medicine and Body-Mind Theory will be easy to correlate and comprehend.

An abstract of the article is followed by Link to the Article.

THE ORGAN-EMOTION LINK
Element Metal Water Wood Fire Earth
Organ Lungs Kidney Liver Heart  Spleen
Harmful Anxiety, Fear Anger Joy, Shock Pensiveness,
Emotions Sorrow     Empathy
Qi Effect Constrict Drop Rise Scatter Knot
Positive Yi Zhi Ren Li Xin
Emotions (Integrity) (Wisdom) (Kindness) (Order)  (Trust)

Reiki Therapy can eliminate the impact of negative emotions on the mind and body, resulting into cure of diseases and disorders.

Abstract of the article.

“In the early 1980’s, Dr. John Zimmerman began a series of important studies on therapeutic touch, using a SQUID magnetometer at the University of Colorado School of Medicine in Denver. Zimmerman discovered that a huge pulsating biomagnetic field emanated from the hands of a TT( Therapeutic Touch) practitioner.

Confirmation of Zimmerman’s findings came in 1992, when Seto and colleagues, in Japan, studied practitioners of various martial arts and other healing methods. The “Qi emission” from the hands is so strong that they can be detected with a simple magnetometer consisting of two coils, of 80,000 turns of wire. Since then, a number of studies of QiGong practitioners have extended these investigations to the sound, light, and thermal fields emitted by healers.

It is not widely understood that “brain waves” are not confined to the brain, but actually spread throughout the body via the perineural system, the connective tissue sheathes surrounding all of the nerves. Dr. Robert O. Becker has described how this system, more than any other, regulates injury repair processes throughout the body. Hence the entire nervous system acts as an “antenna” for projecting the bio-magnetic pulsations that begin in the brain, specifically in the thalamus.”

Now-a-days more and more people are flocking to Reiki Therapist for their physical diseases and disorders.

At the same time, Benefits of Reiki Therapy are now considered among mental health practitioners and people with mental disorders also.

In my experience as a Reiki Therapist, I have achieved good results in treating clinical depression, attention disorders, anxiety and panic disorders and even in cases of mental developmental delay with Reiki. Moreover, it is to be noted that where complete cure is not possible, even remarkable achievements helps us sail the way.
