Anyone know much about the mind calming treatment called Reika?

Answer 1

Reiki is a form of spiritual practice, used as a complementary therapy, proposed for the treatment of physical, emotional, mental and spiritual diseases. Mikao Usui developed Reiki in early 20th century Japan, where he said he received the ability of 'healing without energy depletion' after three weeks of fasting and meditating on Mount Kurama. Practitioners use a technique similar to the laying on of hands as well as gestures in the air, which they say will channel "healing energy" (ki). Practitioners state that energy flows through their palms to bring about healing and that the method can be used for self-treatment as well as treatment of others.

Yes it’s called Reiki.

I have used it and found it very comforting.
I say comforting as I am not sure that it actually 'cures' anything but it does always leave you after a session with a sense of well being and calm which is beneficial even if your original problem is not actually cured - so it is worth it for this alone.

I used it when I had Post Natal Illness and it was a struggle to get through the next day - a session of Reiki would leave me calm and able to cope better for a few days to a week. I used it again when I had a major horse riding accident which rendered me very disabled and in a wheelchair for some years until I was able to have an operation which did not 'cure ' me but made me more mobile.

I was very frustrated during this time and found it hard to cope - and Reiki helped again.

Reiki is supposed to harness 'universal energy/love' and direct it to you and tap into this energy and your therapists and your own ability to heal your body.

I am sceptical - very - but during a Reiki session I felt like I could feel this energy flowing into me.

During a Reiki session you remain fuly clothed and are not actually touched by the practitioner, or should not be - they hold their hands just above your body and sometimes specifically above the areas that you find problematic - but their hands never touch you if they are doing it right.

The fact you are clothed and not physically touched by some one who is is tending to you and caring for you can be a positive thing is you find personal space an issue or you are not for other reasons wanting to undress or your body to be manipulated by someone you do not know very well.
I can not see Reiki when practised well ever doing any harm but if you go for it you need to understand that it enhances your well being but it is not a cure for any specific condition and it does cost money and is sometimes quite expensive if you are on a budget ( as most of us are so only do it if you can afford it) .

So I would advise that if you have a medical or mental health issue you seek professional help too from your doctor/s.

They say:
'Reiki does not take the place of conventional medicine. Always consult a GP for an acute or infectious condition, and problems of urgent concern. Reiki is a complementary therapy that works effectively alongside orthodox healthcare, so expanding treatment options'

But Reiki is a good complimentary therapy for anyone to have alongside any other treatment if you can afford the cost
