I am often asked how someone can explain something like Reiki or Energy Work in general to non-spiritual people, or people who are more scientific minded or more skeptical. We have tried to educate our students before on how one might explain this, however We have simplified and streamlined the explanation even more so now; in order to get to the core truth of how energy medicine works on a basic fundamental scientific level. Following the explanation portion is a series of pictures depicting energy work and what we are doing when we perform Reiki on someone on the most basic level. The series was created by taking a picture of two healers found during an image search on line and altering it in different ways. You will see the first symbol utilized in both the projection method and also how it moves in a three dimensional way. This symbol as practitioners will know is a symbol taught in our level one. The Cho-Ku-Rei as it is called in Reiki, or more commonly The Power symbol; and also called The Emmanuel symbol in Spirit-Hand. You can do a fast slide show for yourself by clicking on the first picture to enlarge it and then clicking on it repeatedly at your chosen speed to move to the next pictures. You will towards the beginning of the slide show how the clients energy is fragmented and disjointed in non-organic types of patterns and how through the energy work organic energy flow is restored.
The bases of all energy work;
Further advice on how
to explain healing work to non-spiritual people:
All energy healing works on one basic scientific principal;
the understanding that everything is energy. Everything that exists is made up
of energy. In spirituality we often refer to this general underlying energy as
the element of Spirit. So how does healing work with this basic Energy or Ki?
Energy exists in patterns. You can disrupt the flow of one pattern and
introduce a new pattern that changes the vibrational frequency of the energy.
In the same way that crystal healing works, energy medicine works. There is no
woo woo majik about it. Almost everything in nature has a measurable E.M.F.
(Electro Magnetic Field). When the E.M.F. of certain stones come into contact
with the E.M.F. of the human body there is a reaction. Our frequency is
changed; why would this be? Because the flow of the pattern of our energy has
been altered and a new pattern introduced into our system. Energy medicine does
this same exact thing. The reason in Reiki and similar healing methods, that we
use symbols is because each symbol is a pattern of energy. When introduced into
our field, they change the flow of our energy patterns and help raise them to a
higher vibrational frequency. All energy work be it healing or ritual is to
change and alter the flow of energy; to change the patterns if you will. One
might say that the art of being an energy worker, or the real task of an energy
worker is to become a vessel through which a change of patterns can be brought
about. When you break it all down to the smallest part, the most basic part...and
remove any spiritual understanding and truth leaving just the pure scientific facts…that
is what the purpose of all energy and ritual work is. We seek to change the
patterns. After a while dealing with the world around us, the technologies, and often the same
routines and environments; the energy flow can slip back into the same patterns
as before the disruption was introduced, and we need to be quickened or attuned
to higher frequencies again. This same larger pattern will repeat through out
our lives. However, sometimes you can cause a change in pattern that while
occasionally dropping to a slightly lower frequency will never again drop down
so low as to repeat the original low frequencies. This then is part of the
goal. To create over and over again new patterns of energy so that the patterns
that become the usual patterns of energy for a person are still higher than
they way they were before we ever started utilizing energetic practices on them. This is also a major part of Reju's or Reiki attunements; to create a permanent change of pattern in the healer.
And now for the Slide-show;
Clients Energy is fragmented and not flowing right
The Healers begin to project and wield the energy and let if flow into the client
The healers begin to utilize a healing symbol by projection
The Power symbols as it moves in its pattern into the body and field of the client
Proper Flow begins to be restored
The Flow and Symbols begin to disrupt the fragmented energy pattern of the client and restore proper flow in the client
Symbol and flow begin to change the pattern through the whole body from the outside to the inside
The Change of Pattern getting down and working in the cellular level
Proper Energy flow and pattern restored
Field restabilized and restored to balance
