What is Reiki

A short list of some of its benefits :

relieve stress - reduce physical pain - support emotional well-being - helps to unwind and relax
gives extra energy - help with daily stress - improve quality of live

It can even do good for
Food and drink - Gardening - Good ideas - Surroundings - Development of the senses
Relationships - Fears - Basically all that you think you need help with.

Although Reiki is as safe as it can be, there are times when it is wise not to use it or take extra precautions by informing your clients of the possibilies:

Pregnanies

Personally I do not like to treat women who are in the early stages of being pregnant.

When something would go wrong, it would NOT be because of Reiki, but I can immagine that the mother to be, would be looking for a reason why the pregnancy went wrong or even worse: looking for someone to blame.

I can fully understand where that is coming from, but you don’t want to be cought in a situation like that.

Diabetes

Reiki can change the sugar level, so if you are going to treat someone with diabetes make sure they have their blood sugar levelchecked on a regular basis

Pacemaker

Because Reiki is energy I personally don’t use it on people who have a pacemaker. Better to be save then sorry !

Other

Be aware that Reiki can reduce pain and symptoms.

If you are going to a doctor this may hinder accuracy in their diagnosis.

Some suggest not to use Reiki if someone is under anaesthetic.
Reiki can clear chemicals from the body, so it could reduce the effect of the anaesthetic.
But there are hospitals where Reiki Practitioners work with operating teams, to help reduce shock and trauma, and if the anaesthetist is aware of what is going on, he or she can make the required adjustments

Everything else comes down to use your common sense.

Reiki is not a miracle cure, but if used wisely it can be of positive assistance in most situations

Reiki is a hands on healing technique, which combines the use of the Universal Life Energy with the warmth and reassurance of the human touch

Reiki literally translated means Universal (REI) Life Force (Ki).

To work with Reiki does not require you to believe or to be greatly skilled. However, a desire to work with Reiki and dedicated practise enhance the results.

Reiki is not religion based. People of all sorts of belief systems and cultures are initiated into Reiki and benefit from it daily

Reiki is a specific energy that helps our own healing system to work to its full potential it helps us to be vitalised and balanced. The word Reiki Healer implies that we do the healing. This is not so! All we do is channel the energy without having to tap into our own energy.

When we think of healing in a Western sense, we usually assume this means getting rid of symptoms and illness. However, healing should be considered on all levels : Mind, body, emotions and soul, because a lack of harmony on any level of discard between varied levels will cause imbalance, and eventually it will ad to illness and symptoms somewhere in the whole.
