Buddhist in nature, Reiki is the combination
of universal energy with individual energy to open pathways
of healing. Rediscovered by Japanese Buddhist and Christian
scholar of theology Mikao Usui around 1921, this energy healing
method involves placing the hands on or just above the body
in order to align chakras, or energy centers, and bring healing
energy to organs and glands. The practitioner, trained to
access and serve as a channel for the life energy, uses a
passive touch that some clients experience with a warmth or
tingling. The hands remain in position for 3-5 minutes, alternately
covering 10-12 positions over the body.
The three levels of training
in the initiation process of becoming a Reiki Master are referred
to as attunement levels. Through this training, the practitioner
reaches a level where they can access energy flow through
the hands to heal themselves and others.
Reiki-Alchemia utilizes keys of different
geometric shapes to trigger states of consciousness that allow
healing and vibrational attunements to occur. Reiki-Alchemia
combines the traditional Reiki of Usui with the Alchemia process,
so which a passive and active blend of energies exist in the
healing. The practitioner facilitates transformation by working
with the Universal Life Force, and the Four Forces that govern
all states of consciousness. Alchemia is a form of bodywork
that incorporates techniques that release etheric as well
as subconscious energy blockages and stored trauma. The ultimate
intent of Reiki-Alchemia is to achieve a functional ego state
that facilitates unconditional love.
