Frequent Asked Questions
Q.1. I have attend the first degree Reiki-seminar and have had my energy-body attuned. Yet, I do not feel flow of energy through my palms. Why?
Ans.' Not feeling anything in the hands' is a common problem which some holder of the first degree face.
No feeling at all, while treating either the self or the other can only be attributed to a lack of perceptibility or sensitiveness (kinesthetic sense). The present age is that of competition and struggle for survival.This struggle,coupled with the food of loud audio-visual stimuli that attack us each day, benumb our perceptive powers and render our hands insensitive to the subtle change that occur when Reiki starts or stops flowing.
Do not lose heart. Continue treating yourself as well as others. As you relax your muscles,quieten your mind and focus on your hands, sensation will make themselves felt.This is as certain as the fact that day follows night. Your confidence will receive a further boost as people you treat give you a positive feedback.
Q.2. I have bee practicing Reiki therapy for many months. At times I do not feel a flow of energy through my hands. Why?
Ans. If the flow of energy is not felt occasionally, it is likely that the flow is actually not taking place .As you know, Reiki is drawn by the recipient rather than being given by you. If your patient does not require any energy of unconsciously blocks it, there may be no flow and you may not sense anything.
Q.3.Does the same quality and quantity of Reiki flow through all hands (channels)?
Ans.While the quality is absolutely the same, the quantity of Reiki transmitted differ from therapist to therapist depending upon -
(a) how often he treats himself and others since the channels become more and more potent(open ) as they are increasingly put to use and
(b) how many degrees (of attunement)he has undergone ,each further degree increasing his capacity to transmit energy many-folds.
again second and third degree holder use certain symbol which act as focusing devices, that render(the otherwise divergent)waves of energy parallel and, therefore, more penetrating.
Q.4.Does Reiki flow only if I first offer prayers and then smoothen the aura?
Ans.Reiki always flows when needed and accepted by the recipient. There are no other pre-condition. It is a God-intended or Nature-intended gift with no strings attached.
A prayer helps to quieten the mind which can ,then be focused on hands, so that the subtle sensations (flow of energy)can be more easily felt.
Aura-smoothing is a dispensable procedure which strives to render the patient's energy-body more receptive to Reiki.
Q.5.Do I myself need to have faith in Reiki to be able to help others?
Ans. No, Reiki is automatically transmitted if it is needed and accepted by the recipient. The energy flows and helps even if the channel does not believe if will work. Does a Radio set need to have faith in the B.B.C.(or any other station) to be able to reproduce the news being broadcasted by the B.B.C?
.Q.6.Does the recipient need have faith in Reiki to be benefited??
Ans.No , not necessarily. Reiki helps the recipient, whether he believes in it or not.
Reiki helps infants,animals and even plants. It helps insane or unconscious people, too .Here quite obliviously, the question of belief of faith does not arise. In other words ,Reiki therapy cannot be written off as faith-healing, autosuggestion or a placebo-therapy.
however, one point needs to be understood. Thorough not believing in Reiki , the recipient should be open-minded, prepared to judge it on the basis of pure experience.
.Q.7.Can Reiki be employed to prevent illness?
Ans.Reiki is indeed, and excellent means of prophylaxis. A disease first arises at the energy level , and can be visualized(as an unevenness of aura) on a kirliean photograph. If treated at these juncture, we can prevent the disease from striking the physical body.A regular practice of Reiki is , thus, almost a certain way of maintaining good health.
.Q.8.Should I always treat the whole body? Will it not be enough if I treated the diseased part alone ?
Ans. If you have severe constraints of time , or it is an emergency, you may as well treat the diseased part alone .A 'little-Reiki' is certainly better than 'no Reiki'. Better still would be to provide Reiki also to the chakra that controls the diseased body-part.
however ,our body is an indivisible unit, each body-part, each chakra intimately connected with the others. If sufficient time is available, it would be wiser to treat the whole body. That amount to what is known as ' holistic healing'.
.Q.9.Is it possible to cure every type of health disorder by reiki therapy?Can I give assurance or a guarantee to the patient about the successful outcome of treatment?
Ans.Reiki therapy is not a 'cure-all' or a panacea. It can do a lot but it cannot do everything . In cases where pathological tissue-changes have reached a stage of no-return or in purely surgical cases(like mature cataract hernia, heart calvular defects,etc), Reiki may only be able to alleviate distressing symptoms.
reiki therapy does not render conventional treatment superfluous. In fact, it can supplement and complement the latter
Not even a high -charging surgeon gives an assurance about the successful a outcome of the operation is going to perform. Why, then, should a Reiki therapist do so?
Q.10.Howlong (in terms of days) should I continue to treat a patient?
Ans. A patient with an acute disease should receive a minimum of three treatment, if possible on three successive days. The first treatment dislodges toxins from body. The second treatment helps the body to flush these toxins out. Finally, the third treatment fills up the (purified) body with invigorating and rejuvenating energy.
Of course , if the disease has been present for many month or year, treatment may have to be continued for a long time before lasting benefits or improvement can be experienced by the patient.
The total duration of treatment cannot be predicated since no two patients, even though suffering from same diseases,
respond in the same way to any particular mod of treatment.
Q.11.Why is it that Reiki , sometimes. does not seem to work(help)?
Ans. Reiki therapists are aware the fact that the results they expect do not always occur.
Reiki has its own wisdom and intelligence. It does that which is good for the recipient, rather than follow our wishes. The recipient as well as the therapist may desire a particular result (say relief from back-pain but if there is some more pressing health-need (say relief from chest-congestion), Reiki will accomplish the latter first.
There are some other interesting reasons why Reiki fails to help. To some people, Reiki seems too very simple to be of help. The have never seen or encountered energy-healing earlier and would only be satisfied with something more 'solid' than Reiki. They are more likely to be helped by material modes of treatment like medicines, injections, surgery and so on. different people are at different stages of (spiritual) development and they would require different modes of treatment .
In some people who come for treatment , the desire to be healed is simply an alibi . In their very core, such patients, consciously or unconsciously, do not want to regain health. They cling to their illness allows us much-needed rest. It also gets us attention and sympathy. It brings our dear ones back to us. Seen from this perspective, falling ill is actually, quite sensible!
A last category of' problem patients' are those who are self-professed guardians of science. They come for treatment to prove that a method like Reiki therapy cannot possibly have any effect whatsoever . Full of scepticism and arrogance, they fight tooth and nail to prevent any flow of energy into their bodies.
in conclusion, we will advise you not to be disappointed if your expectations are not immediately fulfilled. With Reiki, nothing is achieved by pure will-power. Reiki channels are only media , not actual healers. They should remain neutral observers or witnesses of events. It is reiki, which works, and it does that which is the best for the recipient.
In an acute or very serious diseases, if things don't seem to be going to the patient's satisfaction , you should advise him to seek competent medical care.
Q.12.I treat myself everyday with Reiki. Should I still pay attention to my diet and perform physical exercise regularly?
Ans. A well-balanced, cereal-centered, vegetarian diet and regular physical exercise are indispensable for maintaining /regaining good health. Reiki therapy does not allow a person to take undue liberties with diet. A diabetic who goes on eating sweets or a heart-patient who consumes as high-fat diet cannot hope to improve despite taking or receiving Reiki therapy religiously.
Q.13.If Reiki is wise and intelligent and always flows when required, why do Reiki therapist use or promote crystals, scents, etc ? is Reiki incomplete without such external aids?
Ans. Reiki does not require any external aid to be of help. However , in this materialistic world, may people like Reiki to be 'gift wrapped' with crystals and /or scents.
It cannot be denied that crystals can first imbibe(store) any energy and , then emit it in an amplified form for a long period of time.A REIKI therapist can charge(say) a quartz crystal with reiki by simply holding it between the palms for three to five minute ,requesting to purify and empower it.
Because of time-constraints, a Reiki therapist cannot remain with patient for too long . He can give charged crystal to the patient , to be kept in contact of the diseased body-part so that the latter can continue to receive Reiki even after-part so that the latter can continue to receive Reiki even after an actual 'hands-on' healing session is over. For a therapist, a crystal is thus a time saving device for a patient; it is something which expedites recovery.
the property of a crystal to transmit Reiki in an 'amplified' form can be utilized to overcome energy-blocks in a patient's body. during treatment , if a particular body-part does not seem to be drawing energy(i.e. continues to feel cold to touch), a block may be suspected. A charged crystal may, then be placed in contact of that body-part to demolish the block.
There are people who like to carry Reik-charged are quite useful for a first-degree practitioner whose energy-channels are still in the process of opening up and therefore , the reiki emerging from their hands is relatively feeble . for a second-degree practitioner, crystal are dispensable since he can intensify the energy-flow through his hands with the help of Reiki-symbols.
Scents, fragrances and essential oils used in Aroma therapy posses vital energies of flowers and herbs. These energies can be utilized to reinforce Reiki during and attunement and /or treatment.
