healer places her hands on the series of positions that constitute a session, and
Reiki does the rest. The energy also heals on all of the body’s levels—
physical, emotional, mental and spiritual.
Reiki energy heals the whole person. In healing a headache, for example,
Reiki may also heal other organs and levels. Though the healer’s hands are
on the person’s pain area, her head, many headaches have their source in the
digestive system. If the headache is caused by intestinal disturbance, the
energy goes to the intestines, as well as to the head pain. These are both
physical-level areas. If the headache has emotional causes, stress for
example, Reiki also heals on that level. Likewise if the source of pain is at the
mental or spiritual body levels. If the person receiving the healing also has
another dis-ease, perhaps allergies, Reiki will act there too, whether she has
mentioned it to the healer or not.
People and animals are more than physical Be-ings. We have a dense
physical body that is immediately perceptible by sight and touch, but we also
have three other bodies. These nonvisible, nonphysical bodies are energy
levels comprised of Ki that direct the state of the physical body. Healing
cannot be physical alone, but must include the vibrational energy bodies.
Where medicine treats only the physical body, healing—and particularly
Reiki healing—treats all four bodies. Healing, therefore, goes much further
than medicine, and is far more complete in its results. In the example of the
headache, taking an aspirin may relieve the head pain but it does nothing to
heal the source. Reiki deals not only with the evident pain, but with the cause
of the pain. With an aspirin the headache is likely to return after three hours;
with Reiki the headache is permanently gone.
This is especially true for more serious dis-eases. The source of any
physical dis-ease is probably more than physical, and the nonphysical causes
must be healed to heal the body pain. Most metaphysical healers believe that
all physical pain has nonphysical roots in emotional trauma, negative mental
patterns, or spiritual despair. To heal the dis-ease, these roots must be
discovered and treated. This has been the major work of two women, Louise
Hay (Heal Your Body and You Can Heal Your Life, Hay House, 1982 and
1984), and the earlier Alice Steadman (Who’s the Matter With Me?, ESPress,
Inc., 1966). Both women present a listing of body parts or dis-eases with their
definitions of where the illnesses originated.
These definitions can be highly accurate for some people, less so for
