It must be conceived that everything has Energy or Ki in it—even a piece of paper or a plant, every item in the room, the building itself, the city, the country, the world, the Universe and on and on. Gradually, comprehension dawns that there is an unlimited amount of Energy.
This Energy may seem invisible, or elusive, but it is instead, all encompassing. It is this Energy that makes, not just humans, but worlds, function. It is the fuel that drives humans and gives ultimate structure and purpose in life. This is Reiki.
Occasionally, humans get a bit of dirt in the fuel line, or, a better way to explain it, is perhaps by envisioning a free flowing river. This river is like Energy flowing easily down through the body. Sometimes a pebble, or even a rock, will fall into that river, making the flow of water a little more difficult. These pebbles are human worries, fear, anger, and negative thoughts, each pebble building one on top of the other.
Soon there is only a trickle of water running in that once beautiful free-flowing river. And so it is with Energy in the human body. At this point physical pain may be experienced.
Most of us already know the healing power of touch and prayer. We all know the difference a hug, a smile, or a kind word can make. All of us are capable of using our own Energy to heal.
Reiki works in essentially the same way, only the Energy comes from outside of us, from an infinite universal supply. Channelled through the practitioner, usually through the hands, this Energy is accompanied by a general sense of wellbeing and calmness.
During a Reiki treatment the pure flow of Energy is realigned within the body. It washes down, clearing obstructions, strengthening the flow of Energy. This signifies a connection to the understanding of one's purpose on earth and the easiest, most successful way of achieving it.
