The Healing Power of Reiki Training
Reiki training involves learning to facilitate the natural healing powers of the spiritual mind with the physical body. Reiki is sometimes called “oriental medicine”, because it was developed by a Japanese Buddhist named, Mikao Usui. Usui was a Tendai Buddhist priest, who adhered to very strict religious practices, he would spend extended periods of time alone fasting to achieve a deep meditative state. It was during a 21 day fast at Mount Kurama, that he received the inspiration for “Reiki”.
Reiki combines the body’s natural healing properties with spiritual awareness. Mikao Usui discovered that his spiritual practices could help the body heal from various ailments. He later opened a school to teach others about the benefits of Reiki training. Usui taught people how to use spiritual knowledge to heal their own physical maladies. His school spawned a large group of followers, making Reiki popular with people around the world.
Reiki masters are taught how to touch people and heal them through their chakras. There are seven main chakras in the body-the higher chakras govern how we think and feel, while the lower charkas deal with our physical self and our basic instincts. Reiki masters develop the ability to harness the power of universe, and use its energy for self-healing or to teach others how to heal themselves. Reiki is based on the principle that healing energy of the universe is neutral in its existence, and therefore can be used by anyone, regardless of their religious affiliations.
Reiki training benefits everyone who practices it, even if you do it alone. The training involves learning the proper techniques and application of Reiki. Reiki intensifies your “true” self, thus enhancing your personal well-being in body and spirit.
Healing with Reiki opens up your chakras, which leads to a balanced, calm state of being. It is believe that the stillness and peaceful affects of Reiki will keep your spirit still, even when there is chaos in the world around you. The teachings of Reiki are based on Mikao Usui own beliefs that there is healing in connecting with the divine life force-the energy of the universe. When we balance our physical bodies with our spiritual minds, we can connect with this divine source of energy- which is infinite and free flowing. Reiki enhances our physical reality through intense development of our spiritual awareness, which can allow us to lead a more balanced, fulfilled life.
