Reiki Healing
with
Brian C Young
Usui Reiki Master
The word Reiki means universal life energy. It is defined as being that power which acts and lives in all created matter. In the original Japanese it is two words. The first syllable rei describes the universal, boundless aspect of this energy while ki is the vital life force energy which flows through all living beings.
Many races, cultures and religions are aware of the existence of an energy which corresponds to the meaning of ki. Thus ki is named Chi in China, and Prana in India, and bioplasmic energy by Russian researchers. In the USA it has been called the Human Energy Field. In Britain it may sometimes be called the vital spark or essence. I prefer the more commonly used Chinese version: Chi.
Throughout the history of mankind healing methods have always existed which were based on the transfer of a universal, all-pervading life energy, the same energy which brings forth all life in the universe and nourishes it. Thousands of years ago the Tibetans already possessed a deep understanding of the nature of spirit, energy and matter, using this knowledge to heal their bodies, harmonise their souls and lead their spirits to an experience of unity. We come across this knowledge later again in India and find modified forms of it in the Japanese, Chinese, Egyptian, Greek and Roman cultures, just to mention a few.
This knowledge was guarded and preserved by the mystery schools of most ancient cultures and was available in its entirety only to very few people, usually priests or spiritual leaders who in turn passed it on to their disciples by word of mouth.
Modern scholars often come across handed-down forms of this inner knowledge but generally misinterpret it because it is usually shrouded in cryptic language and symbols. The knowledge of Reiki would have been lost forever had not Dr. Mikao Usui at the end of the 19th century rediscovered the key in 2,500-year-old Sanskrit writings which led to the recovery of an ages-old tradition of healing.
How Can Reiki Help You?
Reiki can be given for any illness, injury or stress, and there are no bad side effects. It is complementary to all other therapies. It can be given to anyone, any age, and can also be given to animals.
Reiki gives a holistic framework to identify and correct energy imbalances and hence restore function or remove pain.
What Actually Happens During A Treatment?
You will simply be asked to sit or lie down fully clothed whilst my hands lightly touch you. You may not even notice that you are being touched, and indeed sometimes my hands will not be touching you.
I work mostly on the energy centres of the body known as the chakras. These are points or areas on the body which have to do with how we process chi, on the physical level, as well as on higher levels.
Reiki is about healing the spirit, which in turn heals the body and mind.
Reiki is not ‘faith healing’ and is not connected with any religion or religious group. It is not necessary to have religious or spiritual beliefs in order to benefit from Reiki.
My Particular Approach and Applications
My treatments combine well with most other therapies, particularly homeopathy, herbal remedies and flower essences. In addition where possible I instruct my clients in self-help techniques. I like to combine my knowledge of body-work and energy-work into a synthesis of patient-centred care. I am also a spiritual healer, which is a form of healing perhaps best known in the UK (it is not faith healing or charismatic healing).
Healing of Animals
Reiki Healing works equally well on animals. However the law in the UK protects animals very carefully, rightly so in my opinion. Most vets are happy for qualified healers to work with animals, in the knowledge that the NFSH has a strict code of practice.
Distant Healing
Reiki can be sent to you wherever you are. This process is known as Distant Healing.
