What is Reiki Healing Energy and How Can You Use It?



Here's an interesting fact...

Most people don't know what Reiki is.

And they don't know what healing energy, is or how to use it.

I would like to change that...  and in an effort to do so, I've created this page to clear up any confusion people have about the amazing gift of Reiki healing energy and how you can use it to heal any number of afflictions you may be experiencing...

The Secret of Universal Life Force Energy was Guarded by Buddhist Monks


We're surrounded by it.

It extends infinitely in every direction.

Universal life force energy is a gift that people have used for centuries.  But this gift has been kept secret by a sect of Esoteric Buddhism.

These Buddhist monks mastered the abilities to use energy for a variety of purposes, one of which is to heal.  However, they did not want to share their knowledge, so they would only teach their direct students who would spend a lifetime studying with them.  


Unfortunately, that has kept most people in the dark about this mystical energy until a monk by the name of Dr. Mikao Usui created the art of Reiki.


He used the principles of working with universal life force energy, specifically for healing purposes.  This is why it is often referred to today as "healing energy".

In a moment, I'm going to tell you how you can use this energy for healing.  But first I want you to understand how to connect with it.

You Must Call Reiki Energy into Your Palms


Before you can heal yourself or anyone else, you must connect with healing energy.

Reiki is an entire system that makes this simple, but I'll give you the basics here...


It's all about intention.

You must know what your body needs in order to heal it.  So let's start with what's obvious.  For example, it may be:

  • You are suffering from chronic pain
  • You can't let go of an emotional trauma
  • You are having difficulty sleeping

Once you know what you are trying to treat, you use your intention to connect with Reiki energy.  Some people verbally ask Reiki to come into their palms and heal them of whatever is bothering them.  Some people prefer to simply think it silently to themselves.

Either way is fine but the idea is you're setting your intention and asking Reiki for help.

You visualize the energy around you entering into your palms, and focus on how it feels.  Again, this experience is unique to the individual.

At this point you've connected with the healing energy, now as promised I will explain how you use it to heal.

Guide the Energy Using Your Intention


Reiki teaches the use of hand positions for all the major points on the body in which energy can be focused for healing purposes.


As a Reiki practitioner advances, she starts to rely more on intuition and less on strict hand positions.

But either way, the healer places her palms over certain areas of the body, depending on what needs to be healed, and guides the energy from her palms into the area while focusing on her intent to heal.

Visualization is key here...

As a Reiki healer, you use visualization techniques to focus your intent and allow the energy to heal.  For example, you may visualize energy filling your heart, or visualize yourself pulling out negative energy chords.  There are as many visualizations as there are illnesses.

When the session is over, you close your connection to Reiki by thanking it for it's help and allowing it to dissolve away from your hands.

A Quick Recap

1. Healing energy is all around us, and it has been kept secret until Dr. Usui created the art of Reiki.

2. You must call Reiki energy into your palms by using your intention.

3. You use hand positions or intuition to guide healing energy where it's needed.

4. You use visualization techniques to allow the energy to heal and remove negative energy.

5. You close your connection with Reiki, and thank it for it's help.

There it is...

And the beauty is that anyone can use Reiki... but it pays to know what you're doing.

Until next time,
Reiki be with you.
