I took my Reiki level 1 and 2 course over a weekend as a desperate attempt to help
the severe spondylosis in my spine, which was causing narrowing of the vertebrae and
restricted mobility along with constant intense pain. After using Reiki for myself for a week,
my sister was diagnosed with a serious illness. I wanted to help my sister as much as I could and so
suggested Reiki to her. There was a 4 week wait for her medical treatment to commence so I used Reiki for her over
this period. This was a very steep learning curve for me, but I applied a logical
and methodical approach to my Reiki, I practiced daily for around 6 hours and I read as much information a I could
find and developed the way I applied Reiki to maximise the healing effects
of not just the Reiki energy, but the treatment as a whole. The method I developed
is what I call the Active Reiki Method.
There are three factors that determine how effective any treatment is, whether
it is medical or alternative:
1. The efficacy of the modality
2. The placebo effect of the modality
3. The placebo effect of the therapist
To maximise the healing effects of Reiki requires us to maximise the benefits of all three of the above factors. The Active Reiki Method does precisely that.
The first step is to have a thorough understanding of the client's condition(s)
either through personal knowledge or research. This means when we speak with the client,
we are knowledgeable and professional. We use language and behaviour towards the client
that is optimised to boost their confidence and belief in us and in Reiki, which boosts the placebo effect.
The next step is to formulate a treatment plan that includes a suitable and effective
visualization and intention [see notes].
Focus is important for this method so we use controlled breathing coordinated with the energy flow and appropriate effective intention/visualization throughout the Reiki treatment.
This is the process I share on my Reiki level 2 training course.
Notes:
EFFECTS OF INTENTIONALITY ON DNA SYNTHESIS IN CULTURED TUMOR CELLS (1992) Dr Glen Rein, Ph.D. (Quantum Biology Research Labs
The study used a healer Leonard Laskow with a non-healer as a control. Healing was applied to tumour cells in petri dishes using energy, energy plus intention, energy plus visualization and energy plus intention and visualization. The study found that using an effective intention and visualisation together with the energy healing can give a 39% inhibition of cancer cell growth.
