Reiki Basics

The greatest thing about Reiki is that it will not hurt you. As dis-ease leaves the body you may have some "clearing symptoms". These often include:
While these symptoms may be uncomfortable, they are no cause for worry as they are normal. What's more important is that Reiki addresses more than one's immediate concerns. If you have a stomach ache, but the cause is some intestinal disorder the Reiki will correct the intestinal problem.
Another thing to consider is that there is no way to misuse this energy. While Reiki will do nothing for someone who does not want it, no belief needed for Reiki to help you.
Finally, there are many "types" of Reiki. The "mother" tradition is Usui Reiki. It focuses on the traditional Japanese symbols & certain hand placements for self and others. Over the years Reiki has grown in its diversity, and I myself practice several traditions. While these "types" of Reiki add other symbols or techniques, they are all based upon the same “Universal Life Energy”.
- an increase in body temperature
- feeling more tired
- even minor symptoms resembling a cold or flu
