How to Get Reiki Treatment

Introduction

Reiki is a complementary healing practice that uses spiritual energies of a Reiki master or healer to treat various kinds of conditions and symptoms. Developed in early 20th century Japan, the practice has found adherents all over the world who praise its benefits and lack of side effects. Follow these steps to get Reiki treatment.

Steps

1 Step One

Find out about the practice. You should have a little bit of understanding of the basics of Reiki. The practice usually involves long periods during which the Reiki healer places his hands on the patient to channel energy. Reiki can be performed as a total body or a local treatment. In some cases, Reiki masters do not touch the body but keep their hands a few inches above the site of focus.

2 Step Two

Locate a qualified practitioner. Reiki practitioners go through a series of courses and training sessions that earns them different levels of expertise. The levels go from level one, the most basic and novice level, to level three. After level three, a practitioner is considered a master. Contact the International Center for Reiki Training or check out Reiki.org to find references for qualified Reiki practitioners.

3 Step Three

Continue other treatment. Reiki is not intended to replace or substitute for other medical treatments. If you are seeing a doctor or receiving other homeopathic treatments you should continue with these processes. The Reiki is intended to complement these treatments and, in cases like chemotherapy, to mitigate toxicity and side effects.

4 Step Four

Consider group Reiki. For most minor ailments such as sporting injuries, insect bites and headaches, a single Reiki practitioner is considered effective enough. If you seek Reiki treatment for more serious conditions, such as the side effects of chemotherapy or other disease treatments, you should consider doing group Reiki, which uses two Reiki practitioners to intensify the healing properties of the treatments.
