Reiki Meditation is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing and the healing of others.

The small chapel in the hospital was a perfect place and the only place to hold our first session of Reiki meditation. Here we could be free of nosey nurses watching overhead cameras to see what we were up to. I had met this energy healer who suggested that Reiki as a vehicle for wellness.

So here we begin our journey with hands on healing.

Wheeling my son down to the chapel we were greeted by a peaceful, gray haired woman. She was as excited as I was and since I had nothing to lose I included a dear friend of mine, Alin. We found ourselves sitting quietly for three hours while we received the blessings from our ancient ancestors. The process began with blessing the small chapel. With our eyes closed and sitting in a straight line we could hear our Reiki master jump from corner to corner placing symbols on all four walls. With the direction to keep our eyes closed and in a prayer position I would sneak a peek every so often and see our son sitting stone faced quiet and Alin the same.

An amazingly simple technique to learn, the ability to use Reiki is not taught in the usual sense, but is transferred to the student during a Reiki class. This ability is passed on during an “attunement” given by a Reiki master and allows the student to tap into an unlimited supply of “life force energy” to improve one’s health and enhance the quality of life.

As I remember back I remember bearly being able to keep from laughing as our Reiki master growled and hissed as she stood behind us. She drew symbols on our foreheads and chanted words indescribable to man. I sat in wonder and questioned what in the world was I doing here.

Reiki would leave a positive mark on me for years to come. Hours later Alin and I stood and talked about this bazaar experience and as we spoke I felt a warmness and tingling sensation in my hands. Alin’s hands would turn red and hot. There is something to this fascinating meditation as my hands seem to remember the energy flow whenever I recall the experience. My son would call it “Bull shit” as I conducted many “hands on” healing sessions on him in hopes of his full recovery.

“Laying of the hands” is administered by allowing the unseen “life force energy” flow through us. If one’s “life force energy” is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy. The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words

Rei which means “God’s Wisdom or the Higher Power”

Ki which is “life force energy”

So Reiki is actually “spiritually guided life force energy.”

Reiki meditation treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include:

Relaxation

Feelings of peace

Security

Well-being

Many have reported miraculous results.

Reiki meditation is:

Simple

A natural and safe method of spiritual healing

Self-improvement that everyone can use

It has been effective in helping virtually every known illness including stroke, drug addiction, speech problems and brain injury recovery. It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.

While Reiki is spiritual in nature, it is not a religion. In fact, Reiki is not dependent on belief at all and will work whether you believe in it or not. Because Reiki comes from God, many people find that using Reiki meditation puts them more in touch with the experience of their religion.

The background, secrets and symbols of reiki meditation can be found in a very controversial book known as “Essential Reiki” by Diane Stein.
