Reiki Classes Teach Healing Process

By Beverly C. Ralph


Holistic healing techniques are becoming a popular choice for many people who wish to break free of the pharmaceutical quagmire as much as possible. The chance to have their issues corrected or alleviated without the side effects of prescription drugs is an attractive option. By taking Reiki classes, a dedicated individual could learn the method and administer the treatment for others in their local area.

This is a technique that is based on the concept that a life force energy resides inside every individual. This internal power travels through the body, focused by seven key points known as chakras, each related to a particular aspect of health and well being. As long as these centers are clear, the flow is unimpeded and all is well, but blockages can result in negative manifestations.

Those who practice this technique are capable of using their own hands to channel another person's energy and direct it as a way of addressing health issues. If need be, they also have the ability to use their own spirit force and transfer it into the client in order to clear the troubled areas. Boosting the positivity promotes the natural healing within the body.

The completely natural method of energy transference may be useful in treating a variety of conditions. Some emotional issues such as depression, feeling unsettled, stress and anxiety are easily alleviated in this way. It has also shown to be effective in certain cases of physical distress like arthritis, organ problems, pain and digestive issues.

Some people mistake this spiritual practice of dealing solely with the life energy inside of a person for a religious rite. There is no religion at all attached to the method, no belief system and no dogma. It is simply a matter of moving the positive forces within the individual to direct them towards the issues and removing any negative blockages that may be present.

As this is not a method of massage, physical contact is rarely made. In situations when it is necessary, very light touches to pinpoint the energy are all that is required. The therapist has the ability to channel the force through their hands, which are held just slightly above the patient's body as they move along the path of trouble. Both parties remain fully clothed the whole time.

Learning the technique is usually done over a concentrated weekend session. The power to channel energies is actually one that is passed from teacher to student through transference. The course is about understanding how to focus oneself and become a clear and unimpeded conduit for moving the force from one individual to another.
