REIKI
Reiki
Reiki helps relieve stress, activates the self-healing powers and harmonizes body, mind and soul. In fact, the feeling of a Reiki treatment is like after a long restful sleep.
What does "Reiki" mean?
This term is composed of two syllables: REI - KI.
REI = universal and KI = energy. The
meaning of "Universal Life Energy" refers to several aspects: Universal
are the levels that Reiki works on, physically, emotionally, and
spiritually.
What happens during a Reiki treatment?
Who gets a Reiki treatment, feels the physical relaxation most clearly. The breathing becomes calm, the muscles loose, tensions dissolve, and the heart rate corresponds to that of a sleeping person. In fact, after a treatment, you feel like having a good night's sleep.

Feed yourself with your gift.
Let others feel your gratitude.

What is Reiki really?
"Maybe
you already had a few contacts with this wonderful energy, because
otherwise I would have to try to explain something that can not be
caught with words, like love.
Not
that Reiki is not objectively felt or experienced - on the contrary,
anyone who comes in contact with this energy, enjoys it, and experiences
its wonderful effect.
But none of the experiences are the same. Some people think that this energy is fantastic, to help themselves and their fellow human beings to better health. Others
say that Reiki is great for positively influencing people's psyche
(whether it's trauma or just addiction, such as nicotine addiction).
And yet others are convinced that this energy triggers spiritual growth and brings enlightenment a whole lot closer. And as controversial and unbelievable as these fundamentally different opinions seem to be, so, as so often, are all right ... "
Quotation (by analogy) - Ralph Hoppe
In that sense, of course, if you've already had contact with Reiki in one way or another, it makes it easier for you to understand the possibilities of what we're talking about - without putting it away in the esoteric drawer and to condemn it as nonsense ...
What it's all about is energy. It's about what's going on between the atoms that make up your body. It's about what permeates you, and everything else that exists around you.
The Asians are a bit ahead of us ... They call it Chi (as in Tai Chi), Qi (as in Qi Gong), Prana (as in Pranayama), or just Ki. It is always about the same energy - only each tradition calls it something different, and tries to strengthen or use it differently.
It is true that with this energy you can smash boards, ice or stone slabs, but it is actually much more useful if you use the energy to promote your health, concentration or awareness.
Everyone knows the condition when they feel completely exhausted - and everyone also knows various ways to refuel. This can be a walk in the woods, a deep sleep, gentle gymnastics, tender sex etc. ...
For centuries, Asian traditions have gone a bit further - and have systematically and very successfully researched how best to strengthen or harmonize the life energy. There were many different approaches:
Striking with needles (acupuncture), pressure (acupressure), certain movement and breathing techniques (Tai Chi, Qi Gong, Yoga) or visualization and concentration exercises (meditation). All these seemingly fundamentally different traditions have one common goal: to strengthen the life energy and to use it positively - because it was recognized that a disease always resulted from a misdirection of the respective energy, and only by a corresponding correction really could be cured - just as logical was the prevention and strengthening by appropriate exercises.
So it's not surprising that there are so many different opinions about Reiki, just as with all the other energy techniques as well ... Because when you start to deal with the appropriate exercises, put them into your own Life even a little integrated, the progress is soon noticeable - but very individual and different. One will be healthier, the other more conscious, and a third may make great spiritual progress - depending on where the blockages were originally, there will be further development.
So - let's create some prejudices or misinformation from the world ...
Reiki has nothing to do with any religion or belief - and is certainly not a sect (although some Reiki organizations have a Grand Master, this is just a kind of a double black belt).
In addition, everyone can actually learn Reiki - because it's just a drastic increase in the energy that flows through each person anyway. Reiki can not be abused - it's not magic, it's not an esoteric lazy spell - and it does not turn a practitioner into a healing David Copperfield ... Meditation? Excellent - it will noticeably increase the energy flow.
Reiki complements orthodox medicine very well - and should by no means replace it. Because the health-promoting effect of Reiki is based only secondarily on the healing of the body - first, the blockages are resolved, which led to the disease - and that does not necessarily have to be successful. Every illness also has its meaning - and if someone does not want to develop further, to adhere to harmful attitudes and habits, then of course neither conventional medicine nor anything else can help.
Everyone is ultimately responsible for their own health and recovery, and first and foremost, and this includes the basic understanding, which gradually becomes more and more understood and applied, that each person has the original ability to heal himself - resulting from it of course, vice versa, that every person can make himself sick !!!
