Reiki…Ten Useful Applications of Reiki Healing to Improve Your Personal and Professional Life

About Reiki and the Concept of Life Force Energy

Reiki is the Japanese name for Universal Life Energy, the source of vitality and the very ‘life force’ that keeps us alive and healthy. Therefore, the fundamental importance of Reiki in life, being critical to our existence, cannot be over-emphasized. Yet, to many the concept of this life force energy remains vague; as incredible as it is, to some it could even seem “too good to be true”! Not to mention, understanding the abstract spiritual nature of the healing energy requires a different perspective beyond the realm of the five sense organs.

Accessing the Omnipresent

Reiki is the energy that flows through every living being as ‘life’. Therefore, the ability to channelize Reiki is inherent in every living being. What one needs is the capability to access it. Reiki is omnipresent, that is, the Source of Reiki is everywhere in the universe. In order to access and channelize it more easily and effectively, one gets attuned by a Reiki Master Teacher; attunement connects one permanently to the Source of Reiki. After an attunement one becomes capable of channelizing Reiki for self-healing and for assisting the healing of others. A Reiki attunement lasts for a lifetime and the Reiki energy is available whenever one wishes to use it.

Reiki Attunement… Why Do It?

The probable question that could arise is why would one want to get attuned to Reiki? And the answer is… being ‘life energy’ itself, Reiki has the power to cleanse, heal and rejuvenate at the cellular level, thus enhancing the performance of tissues, organs, endocrine glands, as well as, boosting immunity; to direct life’s events by cleansing the mental-emotional faculties, thereby purifying our thoughts words and actions; and to determine the level of health, happiness, and harmony we enjoy in life by enhancing the level of positive life force energy circulating within us.
