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.
Depending on the practitioner some may ask for a form to be filled in about one's health but many forgo this as they are not in proper healthcare. One will however be asked to sign a consent form and will be asked if they will permit to being touched. If there are any special needs that need to be addressed for example not being able to lie flat or very sensitive to touch this will need to be conveyed.
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.
The Traditional Japanese is more of a lifestyle which is to bring one to the path of enlightenment. They focus more on the breathing techniques that help to direct the energy to certain points in the body and it is believed that one can feel the energy channelling immediately. Many describer this practise as a Zen proverb which is a practical and simple yet intense method.
There are many different courses that one can take depending on one's preference. There is Jikiden, Gendai and Sekhem Reiki as well as Children's Reiki. The Jikiden form is passed down from its founder Milao Usui and has not been changed in any way. Gendai combines the traditional method with specialized types of healing and is the more common of them all.
All the clients that have gone through this form of therapy have experienced a very deep state of relaxation as well as having a sensation of tingling, warmth and feeling sleepy. Once it is over they all feel total revived and refreshed. Unlike many other methods this one has no serious side effects and is safe.
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.
