Frequently Asked Questions
What are the pre-requisites to learn Reiki?
Willingness, good intention and faith to keep yourself healthy without any medications and
exercises are only the pre-requisites to learn Reiki. This is the only system which can not be
learned reading books. It can only be transferred from Teacher to Student. It is a great art of healing your life in terms of your health, wealth, love and happiness, that's why I provide basic and foundational 5 days training on Energy Healing and Mind Power. When you spend 5 days with me learning 5 different energy and mind power techniques and feel better about this system and me, you are ready to learn Reiki & Mind Power from me in next 30 days.
How much time is required to learn Reiki?
Reiki is not learnt but received from God through a Reiki Master. When Reiki Master does the "Attunement" process and activates the healing power inside you, you will be ready to give healing to yourself and others from the same day. So, it usually takes 30 miinutes to be ready to heal with touch of your hands. It is a 3 days course and you will learn every aspects of Reiki Level One.
How much time will be required to practice Reiki?
For the first month, you will required 12 minutes to one hour to practice Reiki. After that if you don't have any chronic disease then only 12 minutes self healing will maintain your good holistic health and you will also be able to give healing to others.
Do you ever get tired or run down from giving Reiki treatments?
Because it is a channeled healing, the Reiki practitioner's energies are not depleted. It is not
the practitioner's energy being used! The practitioner is channeling "Universal Life Force
Energy, "the energy that surrounds us all and sustains life! It is the energy from the "God
Source" or, the "Higher Power!" Because the Reiki practitioner is channeling this healing
energy, he/she receives the benefits as well! Whenever I finish giving a Reiki treatment my
energy level is up and I feel surrounded with feelings of love and contentment!
Do you need to concentrate in order to channel the reiki energy?
This is one of the more interesting observations of the Reiki phenomena. When a Reiki
practitioner's hands are placed on or near any living organism the Reiki `turns on'
automatically.There is no conscious effort needed on the part of the practitioner. If a Reiki
practitioner is asleep and his or her hands are placed on another person's injury or wound,
the Reiki starts flowing even though the practitioner is asleep. You do not have to learn how
to give Reiki. If you have been initiated to Reiki, you simply have to place your hands on or
near the body.
Does Reiki have anything to do with religion?
Reiki is not a religion. It beholds no doctrines, creeds or contradictions to the Universal
Laws of Consciousness and Love. Reiki is very spiritual in nature, but there is nothing you
are required to believe in before you can learn and use Reiki. In fact, Reiki will work whether
someone believes in it or not!
When you are giving someone a treatment, how do you know the energy is flowing?
Once one places a hand on someone, within a few seconds the palms will start to pulse and
the hands will become hot. Other sensations are tingling, pins and needles, cold, or
electrical feelings.This will continue for the whole treatment. Over different parts of a client's
body the hands are extremely hot! It is important to note that the sensation can vary from
treatment to treatment, and the sensation in the hands felt by the patient can be very
different to that felt by the practitioner. Sometimes the practitioner experiences his hands as
being cold and the person being treated has felt them radiating intense heat. The Reiki
switches off after a period of time on one position on the body. It switches on again when
the hands are moved to another position. When one area is healed, you move on to the
next area.
How Reiki works in different situations?
The flow of the Reiki seem to vary according to the degree of disharmony in the
person. When the patients who are seriously ill or very upset emotionally, the Reiki
flows more strongly. It therefore flows on demand according to the degree of disharmony in
the persons body/mind. This is the energy which is first received by the healer and through
the hands of the healer the energy is then transferred to the client. The Reiki removes the
energy blockages which are formed because of some stress and negative thinking pattern.
And the blockages are removed from the aura system (magnetic field), the disease starts
diminishing from the physical body too. Thus Reiki work on energy level for overall healing
of the whole system.
Can Reiki be used with other therapies?
Yes, it can be combined with other therapies very successfully. Reiki is completely safe and
it activates natural healing energy within us. It will enhance the effects of other
complementary healing arts such as massage, acupuncture, shiatsu, foot reflexology,
aromatherapy, chiropractic, colour therapy, homeopathy and many others. Many
practitioners of other modalities have reported that their work has intensified since learning
Reiki.
What happens during the attunement (Shaktipaat)?
During the attunement, the Reiki Master uses the ancient symbols and mantras to activate energies inside you. It is comparable to a radio station, broadcasting radio waves
everywhere. There are no wires connecting the radio station with your home, yet when you
turn on the receiver and tune into the radio waves from the station you receive what they
are sending. Likewise, the principles of Reiki are the same. The energy is everywhere, it
travels through space without wires. Once you have been connected to the energy it flows
automatically, forever.
Is the Reiki flow affected by the health of the practitioner?
Even a very sick, weak person who is correctly initiated to Reiki can give treatments that are
just as strong and effective as a Reiki Practitioner who is in good health. The Reiki energy is
not coming from the physical energy from the body of the practictioner.
Are there any harmful side effects from Reiki?
There have been no reported cases of negative effects from Reiki.Some people have
observed what at first appears to be negative effects.When the body is undergoing a
healing process, there can be short term effects which cause some discomfort. People with
a great deal of accumulated stress or emotional blocks can feel everything coming up at
first with treatments as their body starts to process the effects of the Reiki.
How Reiki Healing takes place?
Reiki is an divine and intelligent energy. It is a very fine and high frequency energy. Any
problem we face whether physical,mental, emotional or situational, everything becomes
chaos only when there is disharmony of the energy. When negative energy is more than
positive energy then diseases occur on physical level, tension or stress develops on mental
level and when that is not looked after, well then it affects our behaviour and finally we are
spiritually disconnected with our inner self and from the source energy. Then at this
juncture, when one is out of harmony and life has become chaos, Reiki helps to recover. As
Reiki is an energy healing system, it heals the energy level of the person which is called
'Magnetic Field' in Quantum Physics or 'Aura' in spiritual language. When the aura of a
person is treated with Reiki, it harmonises and balances the energy of the astral body
(Magnetic Feild)and ultimately the whole physical body. That is why Reiki is said to have
healed anything not only on physical level but also on mental, emotional and spiritual
levels.
What if I am not grown to be so perfect to heal people with Reiki?
Reiki is like water flowing through a pipe i.e. body. Our body is only the channel through
which Reiki flows. Water is not meant to be perfect to flow when it is directed to flow through
a pipe, nor it is expected from the pipe to be perfect to let the water flow through it. It just
flows and according to the need of the receipant it heals. There is no difference between
experienced healer and a new Reiki channel because water does not see if it is flowing
through old pipe or a new pipe, it just flows through it. Likewise Reiki is an universal energy
which is channelled in your system to flow and heal the needy.
