What is Reiki? Reiki healing is a form of energetic laying on of hands. Most find a Reiki Therapy session to be soothing, relaxing and illuminating. During a reiki healing, you might suddenly see why you've been struggling emotionally, might effortlessly see the cause and how to self-balance.
Body Sensations with Reiki: Some feel heat where the Reiki Healer is touching or even when the healer is holding their hands above the body, not even touching at all. Other sensations might include coldness, tingling, electrical type stinging, lightness, heaviness, a sense of being out of the body or being more in it than you ever have been, etc.
Spiritual Wellness experiences: It is not uncommon for those experiencing reiki therapy to have actual visions or to take a spiritual journey that is transformative.
Emotional Healing with Reiki: It is also not uncommon for emotional releases to occur during a reiki healing, such as tears, release around fears or anger issues, or other emotional release.
Vibrational Healing methods including Reiki do not require in-person contact, although there is definitely a soothing and safe feeling to in-person sessions that may not feel as strong in a distant healing. However, an energy medicine practitioner can work with people in a distant healing session just as effectively as they could in person and, in cases where an in-person session is not possible, the distant healing alternative is wonderful.
How to Learn Reiki
During a workshop, you will learn about the Reiki Symbols though most teachers don't actually work with the symbols til level two of the class. In the first class, called Reiki 1 or Reiki attunement 1, the healing energy is turned on by intent and not by active use of the Reiki Symbols. There has been some controversy over whether the Reiki symbols should be readily available to the public. At first, they were carefully guarded and only shown to those who had been attuned to Reiki through proper workshops.
A woman named Diane Stein changed all that when she made the Reiki symbols public. I still believe it's best not to work with them until after you are attuned to Reiki 1 level at least, but the symbols are publically available if you want to study them before taking any class or training at all in Diane's book, called Essential Reiki.
