Has anyone ever heard of this?

Quote

Reiki (霊気 or レイキ) is a spiritual practice developed in 1922 by Mikao Usui. After three weeks of fasting and meditating on Mount Kurama in Japan, Usui claimed to receive the ability of "healing without energy depletion." A portion of the practice, tenohira or palm healing, is used as a form of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). Tenohira is a technique whereby practitioners believe they are moving "healing energy" (a form of ki) through the palms.

Seems intriguing enough, though I don't know how much I believe in these sorts of alternative practices. That being said, I may give it a try sometime while in Japan just for the experience.

It sounds like something you'd see Sakura doing in Naruto. :D

i have studied parapsychology to some extent(by no means an expert of anything like that), but i would have no doubt that energy of some kind is being transferred or manipulated. sounds plausible to me.

No lie, that sounds like some interesting stuff. Maybe I'll look a little further into it. Is it considering healing wounds, or perhaps diseases and stuff like that?

Hehe, Eorz, when you quoted Ki, it just reminds me of Dragon Ball Z..


KAAAA, MEEE, HAAAAA, MEEEEE, HAAAA!!!

My only question is why on the wiki do they have two American's in the photo. What is clearly a derivative of the Japanese culture, you would think that a picture of Mikao Usui, or someone of the Japanese decent would be posted. I'm not complaining, nor do I think its wrong, I just didn't expect it really.

Old post but hey - if you have the interest

I am a Level II Reiki practioner in Usui Ryoho Reiki. (I am not using in business, just personally and I am not a daily dedicated user at that

I can definitely recommend booking in for a treatment. Last I looked they were around £15 a session in England. If you go in with an open mind you are likey to experiance it. If you go in with a closed mind you are literally closing yourself to the engery and your body will not except it. Rather like the way you wrap or cross your arms in defiance, you are 'closing' yourself off.

I was afriad that this 'thing' I wanted to believe in was false, but I went for my First Attunement (I didnt have any healing sessions, I went straight for learning it myself) and boy was I wrong. What an amazing feeling!

As for what it can heal well. I tend to use it more for emotional and mental healing rather then physical. After an hour self-healing session I am usually on a high at work later then day.

You have to have patience and train daily to get as strong a connection with the Reiki. I am sure it exists, I just dont have that much faith in my own ability as I can not feel anything.

I have heard something about Reiki, something like using yourself to catalize the healing energy of the universe to cure and take pain away? Well when i heard that iniciates (a friend of mine was into Reiki) must pay a (not little) ammount of money just to let a few masters open your Chakras... i thought, sure...
And well, they will ask you money for anything, dunno what to think about it, i'm very cheap ^^

I know what you mean. I did my first attunement in early 2000 and it cost me about £75. Reiki is 'the universal engery' that makes up everything. It is no miraculous healing power. It simply activates and speeds up the natural healing process in our bodies.

The idea is that you act as a channel for the Reiki to flow through yourself into into another person. The other person is pulling the Reiki rather then you calling the Reiki yourself.

Many say you can use reiki without any attunement, while this may be true, I guess you could say its like a phone line. The better/optimised the phone line the more stable and better the internet speed!

The idea is that the Master opens, cleanses and balances your top three chakras and empowers them to channel Reiki better, not more, just a higher vibration/quality.

There are people out there who give distance attunements. Reiki can be sent anywhere in an instant as it does not abide to physical laws, better by a level II or above who has been taught distance Reiki. Though only Masters (level III) can attune people. They usually do them for free and I had my second attunement this way via the below website/forum.

If your interested have a look at :

All my above comments where instructed to me in regards to Usui Reiki - there are many forms out there which differ.
