Reiki Healing

Healing and Reiki are two words that are closely linked when one ponders holistic health. Healing on a physical, emotional and spiritual level is amplified many times by the use of Reiki. Likewise Reiki is in itself healing on physical, emotional and spiritual levels. How does one enhance the power of both healing and Reiki? The answer lies in two very important principles in Reiki: Intention and Gratitude.

When one is trying to heal a simple thought of positivity can make that person feel a great deal better. The intention of getting better, of wellness can in fact bring about a speedier recovery. This is similar to the power of prayer. Thoughts are energy and have effects on us. Fear and worry are both negative energies and may enhance a negative effect. That is why the use of Reiki which is universal healing energy will help the healing process as it is positive energy. By imagining health and happiness of an outcome i.e. intention, a person may in fact help themselves greatly in their own recovery.

Gratitude works similarly to intention in that they both shift the mind's (and spirit's) focus to a positive outcome. By remembering what we are thankful for we realize how blessed we are. Our greed is dissolved and we can be left with a blissful feeling of contentment. This feeling sounds simple enough but is not always easy for many people to attain. It s a glimpse at true enlightenment. Our society is built on greed and actually creates a noble attitude towards it. Capitalism has uphold this sense of working harder and harder to attain more and more in the material world. If we take a moment and be thankful for our lives and the people in it tat support us every day we ill hopefully find that we are wealthy. Being grateful may show us where we need to work a little harder as well. In the areas of relationship, health, career and spirituality. Gratitude is in itself a stopping point to rest our hearts and our minds upon all that we are grateful for.

Both Intention and Gratitude are extremely powerful and accessible tools to help us use reiki in our everyday lives. It simply takes the thoughtfulness and presence of mind and heart to practice these tasks of creating intention and honoring gratitude. With the use of reiki each and every day our healing becomes greater and stronger. Things that may have bothered us before become irrelevant in the calm and serenity that is reiki healing. Love becomes so important and so present that a sense of joy can emanate from one who practices intention and gratitude (healing and reiki) on a regular basis.

So, how does one do this? Close your eyes and imagine the positive outcomes you are striving for. This is intention and setting positive thoughts a.k.a. energy in motion. By imagining and creating a simple picture to visualize one is manifesting their dreams in the mind. Keep the images simple. The may be one word objectives. Now, think of several (or many) in your life you have already attained that you are grateful for. This way one can make sure the intention is not coming from greed or ego. Ego can be like a faulty foundation. No matter how big the house, if its foundation is faulty it will eventually collapse. Healing and Reiki, one may find are the greatest outcomes ever to be attained as they have the power to free us from earthly trappings and offer us true bliss and freedom.
