Many people have learned to appreciate alternative medicine forms. Reiki healing is a practice that came from Japan where practitioners place a hand either on or above the one receiving the treatment. The goal is to help the person to heal themselves. In the States, it is part of an alternative and complementary medicine or CAM.
Many people use this as a means to promote better overall health, as well as well being. They also use this to seek relief from some disease associated symptoms and side effects brought on by standard medical treatments. One should however let the health care provider know about any other practises that one uses so they can give safe care.
After the first session has been completed many might not feel any different then when they first went in. Others experience a feeling that they are hovering in a state of consciousness but still aware of where they are. Some are known to have fallen into a deep meditative state.
A Japanese Buddhist developed this practise in 1904 after he became so ill he nearly died. He went to a mountain near Kyoto where he spent nearly a month meditating on life and realized the power of life's energy force which gave him new knowledge and called it Reiki. He spent seventeen years perfecting the practise and taught over two thousand people during his life span.
Each session can last up to half an hour or even as long as ninety minutes with a minimum of four sessions. The hands are placed very lightly on or just above the person's body with the palms facing down. They will then use from twelve to fifteen different hand positions and each position will be held for up to five minutes. Once the practitioner feels that the tingling or heat sensation has gone or slowed he will move on to another point.
Many people whom first arrived were very sceptical but later reported that they did feel calmer and more able to deal with their problems. Once the mind and body feel calmer all the pain seems to subside. Many addicts are used to touch as being harsh but with a caring and loving touch all the tension seemed to drain giving them a feeling of peace and safety for the first time.
All training and licensing of Reiki practitioners must be done by an experienced teacher or even a Master. There are three levels and each degree will cover different empowerments or attunements. For the first and second degree it is given in classes that normal last for about eight to twelve hours over a period of two days.
