How Reiki Works

Reiki As Energy Transfer Reiki is to be understood as a transfer of energy from external to internal environments.  The practice began as defining a universal energy that is present in the universe.  Those who practice Reiki are able to take this universal energy and transfer it into an individual.  Doing this changes the internal energy level and allows several different types of healing to work.  Practicing Reiki By knowing how Reiki works, you will be able to use the techniques in order to change your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual conscious levels.  In order for Reiki to be effective, you must practice a number of different things.  If you are practicing Reiki on your own, there are certain steps to follow.  These steps allow you to become in tune with the universal energy, as well as allow you to become relaxed and focused when transferring the energy.    For those that are practicing Reiki on their own and decide to take a class, there are several stages.  Reiki classes are divided into levels.  The more conscious you become of the universal energy and your internal energy, the higher of a level you can move to.  Once you become an expert in these methods you can become a teacher, master and healer using this healing method.  First Steps The first step that is taken in Reiki is to identify the different sources of internal energy that need to be transferred.  These will usually be transferred by your breath moving the energy out of your body.  Those with illnesses will have parts in their body that have a noticeably different source of energy.  You can find this energy through either your intuition, or for those beginning the practice by using a light touch to begin recognizing the energy.  Once you recognize the internal and external energy, you can then begin to move the energies out of your body, and new energies in.  This is usually done using two methods.  Your breathing practice will often help with this.  You can also use a light touch in order to transfer a different energy from the universe.  Using a touch will usually be done by Reiki masters and trainers when they are using the method on someone else.  Reiki is known to be an effective method of healing and balancing by several for centuries.  By the continuous practice of transferring energy, you will find that healing, balance, relaxation and a different level of focus will take place.   Individuals can best make use of Reiki if they feel that they need to make a change of energy level in their physical, mental, emotional or spiritual lives.
