REIKI

Did you know that Reiki healing was discovered by Gautam Buddha, 3000 years ago, and has been passed down through the centuries. Dr. Mikao Usui, the Dean of a small Christian University in Kyoto, rediscovered it.

Reiki means Universal life-giving energy. All of us are born with this Universal Life energy, but the natural flow of energy in our body is affected by our reaction to stimulus in the environment. As a result, energy gets blocked in various parts of the body and causes malfunction.

The five spiritual principles of Reiki are:

• Just for today, I will let go of anger.
• Just for today, I will let go of worry.
• Today, I will count my blessings.
• Today, I will do my work honestly.
• Today, I will be kind to every living creature.

According to P. Balasubramanian a Reiki Master in the Traditional, Tibetan Karuna systems, no faith or belief is required to practice Reiki. It is a simple, natural healing method. All you need is your two hands to transfer energy. Reiki helps us heal others and ourselves. It is also possible to do distance healing via the phone. He also says that almost every illness can be cured using Reiki.

If there is too much or too little energy in any area it causes imbalance, causing illness.The person administering Reiki healing, transmits energy to the affected area of the patient. The energy is transmitted simply by placing your hands on yourself or another individual. In Reiki, diagnosis is in the form of understanding the state of balance or imbalance in the body. Reiki makes its way to the areas of imbalance during treatment. Reiki dissolves everything negative in us. The energy blockage in the physical, mental and emotional levels is eliminated, thereby increasing resistance to disease.

There is nothing new about Reiki that our saints, scholars and grandmothers have not already taught us, says Balasubramanian. Anybody can practice Reiki. To practice Reiki you need to be positive all the time. This makes your aura (the energy field around you) strong. A child complaining of stomach-ache gets cured the moment his/her grandmother places her hand on the stomach and says that the pain is gone. So Reiki includes a lot of positive thinking and the power of suggestion.

"The hand is the doctor, the hand is more than God, because it worships God"- Adi Shankara, in the interpretation of Rudram in Yajurveda.

"Two hands, ten fingers and good words from the mouth is what heals people" - Atharvana veda.

If you heal the patient completely, you will end up getting all his disease.

According to Balasubramanian, this myth is propagated by people, who are scared that the patient may not return to them once healing is complete. The healer will be affected only when he has a weak aura. Balasubramanian gives free healing - in person or over the phone. He does not teach Reiki, as he feels that numerous peddlars of Reiki healing have come up in the city over the last few years and people have started losing faith in its efficacy.

Balasubramanian is an engineer, who has been practicing Reiki for over 5 years now and has been holding healing sessions in India, Malaysia and Singpore. The courses conducted by him include:
