How well do you know Reiki and its means of healing? Right now, there are
the eastern and the western type of Reiki. Both are thought to increase
a patient's own healing powers and to increase circulation overall.
Before picking the Reiki technique to use, it is best that you have at least basic
ideas of both. The main difference between the two Reikis is on what they highlight
on the procedures to cure the illness; energy tranfer is for the eastern
while pressure points is of western.
Here are the important things you should know about each type of Reiki
to get their effective healing.
Tranferring the healing energy to the patient through pressure points
is part of the easter Reiki. As for this method, the abdomen should get
most attention throughout the healing.
The eastern or traditional types of Reiki involve a holistic approach
to healing, meaning that you are treating a patient's mental, emotional,
and physical state together. In order for the Reiki therapist to heal
patients, he himself should always exude positivity. It is a Japanese
belief that the palms could keep and release energy that can heal and
this what traditional Reiki is all about.
The western or newer types of Reiki involve more massage and pressure
points than just placing the palms onto the body. Pressure points are
necessary to keep the circulation of the body free flowing tough self-healing
would be enhanced. That pressure applied to the body is powerful enough
to detoxify it thus also making the muscles ease tension and healing could
be possible.
Typically the western or newer types of Reiki don't involve crystals
but do involve the healer's ability to transfer energy which in turn
heals. Massage and applying pressure to the body can lead to healing
illnesses with the power of healing that lies on the hand of the therapist.
Both types of Reiki promote the importance of the mental and emotional
health of the person so that his physical illnesses can be healed. Stress
can result to hormonal imbalance which can prevent self-healing of the
body.
These two types of Reiki address this issue with a patient as well;
they are encouraged to relax, to keep their minds open, and to take
a positive approach to healing and to life overall so that the body
is strengthened to heal itself as much as possible.
