Reiki acts and heals on four levels: spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical.
The spiritual level is connected to an attunement as the most significant part of Reiki. Without an attunement, Reiki doesn’t flow through you. The attunement is a sacred ritual, during which the Reiki Master Teacher connects you to the source of Reiki. The attunement allows Reiki to flow through you for the rest of your life.
After an attunement, an initiation process starts. You connect with your true self and step on the spiritual path. You can see your life as a never-ending journey of a soul. You perceive the inseparable connection between your world and the invisible world that surrounds you: you are open to receive advice from your spirit guide, your guardian angel, other angels, and souls who were close to you once.
Whenever we teach Reiki, we always try to find a special place in nature for an attunement. Attunements require special places. A unique experience for both of us was attuning Alexandra to a Reiki Master Teacher degree in a tropical rainforest by a beautiful old tree in Rarotonga in the Cook Islands.
On an emotional level, Reiki heals old, recent, and current emotional traumas and opens you to people as you open your heart. Your emotions are balanced when you heal yourself or receive a Reiki treatment every day.
On a mental level, Reiki heals your mind and removes negative mental patterns. Some mental patterns produce negative emotions, such as resentment, guilt, or anger. Persistent negative emotions cause serious dis-eases. Reiki is an intelligent energy that always finds its way to the cause. Reiki calms your mind, keeps you centered, helps you to live in the present moment and have a positive attitude towards life.
Animals have the same dis-eases as humans. The cause is also the same: negative emotions. In most cases, their dis-eases are linked to the mental and emotional state of the people who take care of them. We have healed many dogs, cats, and horses; we sually heal both animals and people who look after them.
Reiki acts on the emotional and mental level, which results in healing a physical body. Reiki is very effective for any pain and dis-ease, and therefore for any health issue. It boosts the immune system and heals cancer, viral infections, epilepsy, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, migraine, inflammation, nervousness, anxiety, depression, bulimia, anorexia, and other health issues.
Reiki helps to have a good sleep and removes toxins and is very effective in healing all addictions. Reiki heals cuts and burns within minutes or tens of minutes. Cuts are signs of guilt, while burns are signs of anger. Layers of fear, hurt, or rejection hidden beneath need closer attention.
Reiki harmonizes chakras, energy centers of the body, which ensures good functioning of body organs. While there are many chakras in the human body, Reiki works with seven main chakras.
When you receive Reiki or practise a self-Reiki treatment regularly, you enjoy good mental, emotional, and physical health and look youthful.
You can deal with various life situations better because you are in peace, and your emotions are balanced. Your intuition improves. Your vibration rises noticeably. The higher your vibration is, the faster you recover.
Reiki is intended mainly for the practitioners themselves; it is highly beneficial for their spiritual growth and mental, emotional, and physical health. Anyone can be attuned to Reiki, including children over the age of five, and can start healing herself/himself, family, friends, and begin a professional career.
“The youngest student I have attuned to Reiki 1 was a 5-year-old girl. She came to learn Reiki together with her parents,” says Alexandra.
“The oldest person I have attuned to Reiki 1 was my mother. I attuned her to Reiki 1 when she was 78. Various emotional and physical pains had bothered her from time to time. A year later, I attuned her to Reiki 2. She began to give herself daily Reiki treatments and felt great afterwards. She stopped going to the doctor and taking medications,” explains Ellen.
We are usually contacted by people who are not feeling well physically and want to be attuned to Reiki to heal themselves. If a client is not feeling well enough to give herself/himself proper Reiki treatments, one of us attunes a family member to continue healing the person. It gives them a chance to be close to each other, often after a long period of neglecting the relationship. It is a beautiful healing treatment for both of them.
To achieve a full recovery from any dis-ease, a daily Reiki treatment, a vegan diet, and a positive attitude of clients and their families are necessary.
