Reiki Is An Intelligent Energy

The purpose of learning Reiki

Many people learn Reiki for wish fulfilment purpose. Then there are those who want to face difficult situations in life in a balanced way and be able to make correct decisions. There is no need to classify anything as ‘good’ or ‘bad’. Everything has a purpose and has a role to fulfil.

You want your wish to be fulfilled? Good.  Reiki will help in your goal achievement. Problem arises when one gets stuck in that stage. Always ‘using Reiki’ for petty (when we consider the Universal plan, all our goals are petty) achievements, slowly one gets disillusioned and may lose faith in Reiki and stop self healing.

With dedicated Reiki self healing over the years, we reach a stage when we surrender totally to Reiki and let Reiki ‘use’ us. We just become a tool for Reiki to fulfil our role in the grand plan of the Universe.

We are not healers, just channels

One basic aspect to understand is that we cannot heal another person. The only person you can heal is just yourself. But we can help others heal by transmitting Universal healing energy (Reiki) to them. They receive the energy and bring about the healing themselves. So we are just acting like a channel – receiving Reiki from the Universe and transmitting it to the other person.

Now take a moment to look deeper into that word “channel’. Reiki passes through this channel, actually we don’t have much control in this energy transmission. The recipient draws the energy through you, only to the extent whatever energy is needed at that particular moment. They cannot draw excess energy.

Let us go one step further now. When a person is in dire necessity of Reiki energy for healing and you made and intent to help, then that person draws energy through you, whether you are actively sending or not. I used to tell this aspect in my Reiki classes, but now I got  validation from one of my Reiki students.

A unique experience

After learning Reiki she tried to help her mother a couple of times by giving Reiki to heal her pain. But it so happened that the mother experienced an increase in pain on starting the healing. This happens sometimes, just like it happens with homeopathy treatment. Since she felt guilty in being the cause for the increase in pain for the mother, she stopped healing others and was just doing self healing.

One night at 2 am her father phoned as he couldn’t sleep due to disturbing thoughts and head ache. To her question ‘Do you want me to send Reiki?’ he said yes and they ended the conversation. On second thoughts, she decided to not send Reiki healing for the fear of increasing his pain. And she didn’t send healing. After 20 minutes, her father called up again and told her to “stop whatever you are doing as the head ache has increased.”

Next morning she came to know that immediately after talking to her, her father slept, he actually slept longer in the morning and on waking up, he was totally free from headache!

The intent starts the flow

What has happened in this situation? He was seeking help and she agreed to send healing. That very moment, he started drawing energy through her, though energy was not sent consciously. This is an indication that Reiki is an intelligent energy.
