The Reiki Master, who he is and what he does

The Reiki Master is in practice a transformer of energy, a vehicle that captures the electromagnetic waves present in the air and puts them in dialogue with the body of the receiver. Let's find out better.

What does the Reiki Master do?

To understand exactly how a Reiki Master (Shinpiden) works, we must start from a basic assumption, an assumption that is not theoretical or based on a vague spiritual inspiration: we are crossed by energy . We receive it, we give it, we take it from the universe; the exchange is continuous.

The word Reiki indicates the Universal Vital Energy . It is defined as that force that operates and lives in all things of creation. The word is of Japanese origin and consists of two parts. The syllable Rei describes the universal unlimited aspect of this energy. While Ki is a part of the Rei, it is the life force of life that flows through everything that lives. It seems, with these statements, to enter a side that is foreign to science. In reality, modern physics itself confirms this perspective. Everything is charged with energy and tends to release it.

Our body contains billions of cells, each of which contains about 100, 000 different genes, formed, in turn, by long chains of DNA, in the shape of a spiral. The Reiki Master works on the energy package we have and creates a "bridge" between our energy "reservoir" and the immense one available to the universe. This is because every body, living or not, emits electromagnetic waves from the easily calculable wavelength; we emit electromagnetic waves in the infrared spectrum at a center frequency of 9.4 micrometers.

In practice, the body of the Reiki Master behaves like a transformer of energy, which captures the electromagnetic waves present in the air of very high frequency (for example those included in the ultraviolet range and in visible light) transforming them into waves with a lower frequency but which more easily penetrate bodies. These waves are channeled through the head and arms, to come out of the hands in a frequency between those biocompatible, the same frequency as the organs below the hands.

We are not talking about an esoteric or mystical practice: Reiki and science proceed on the same interpretative track applied to realities whose existence cannot be denied simply because reception is not based on retinal impact.

Technique, benefits and contraindications of Reiki

The three levels to become Reiki Master

The Reiki arrived in the West thanks to dr. Hayashi and Mrs. Takata was initially structured in three levels and this tripartite division still remains. Let's briefly see phase by phase:

Reiki Level I

The first level provides the possibility of carrying out basic treatments consisting of a series of hand positions on the recipient's body . The self treatment, always with the hands in contact with the body and finally the fast treatment, also called first aid. The proposed basic program covers the history of Reiki, the theory of energy according to quantum physics and an approach to disease as an imbalance.

Reiki Level II

The aspirant Reiki Master enriches the way of operating with energy, as thanks to the aid of symbols, it is able to operate remote treatment, mental treatment, energy cleaning of the environments and many techniques such as the technique of fixed gaze ( Gyoshi ho ), the Breath Technique ( Koki ho ).

Reiki III Level

Following a matured experience, a work of personal purification, the aspiring healer learns further rooting, cleaning techniques . After a very sacred activation ceremony, it becomes, in fact, a Reiki Master . The achievement of the Master's level is not a point of arrival, but is seen as the first step of a long journey.

How the Reiki treatment is carried out

In a Reik i treatment, the person receiving the therapy lies down or sits down in a robe. The Reiki Master places his hands on the patient, with his palms facing his body. The therapist usually uses positions that draw on a set of established techniques that includes about 12 or 15. Each position is maintained for a time interval that can vary from 2 to 5 minutes, but in general the duration is variable, depends on the feeling that the Reiki Master manages to capture based on the energy flow. The number of sessions varies depending on the psychophysical condition of the client being treated.

While the possibility of performing short- or medium-distance Reiki sessions is practiced and practicable, many doubts are arising around the online Reiki sessions, treatments done through the computer and for a fee. The reasons for the skeptical judgment surrounding the Reiki online sessions are due to the fundamental obstacle which is the screen; in fact, touch or proximity are necessary conditions for energy transfer. It should be added that, even in the traditional cases of Reiki sessions, sometimes a person in difficulty hardly distinguishes between an apparently sweet and comforting attitude behind which absolute incompetence is hidden and a true healer aware of his humble, energetic state honest. This does not mean that there are excellent professionals who can do good jobs even from a distance.
