I am editing this because it was supposed to be in another thread...I accidentally hit post new topic instead of Reply...sigh...it was a question on what is reiki...
Wonderwoman, you take this question since I'm a reiki newbie!
Basically I would say it is a form of energy healing...
Regarding reiki itself, it is a Japanese word that means "universal life force". This life force is present in all things. The practice dates back in written records to 2500 years ago. It can be the laying on of hands and the directing of life force through energy transfer.(or can be done through absentee healing). It is gentle, non-invasive, yet very powerful. My first experience with it was in 2000, I had physical ailments due to many surgeries, and had immediate results with elimination of physical pain. I went on to study as a student. Please know that it is not me that does the healing, it is the energy.
Reiki heals on all levels-mental, emotional, physical and spiritual. It goes to the source of the imbalance and heals the cause of it. Reiki has been known to heal tumours, cancers, cysts, align the spine, detoxify the body, heal organs, heal wounds and burns, reduce side effects of chemical drugs, reduce stress, alleviate headaches, assist with emotional release, heal depression and emotional imbalances, heal karmic and mental patterns, release negativity and negative entity attachments, heal the aura and chakras (non-physical energy centers), heal past life issues, and assist in spirtitual healing to name a few. :-)
There are no negative side effects. Reiki energy flows into the practioner, through the body and out their hands. As Reiki is flowing through the practitioner they receive Reiki healing at the same time as they are giving reiki to another. As a practitioner I am not using my own energy but instead channeling "universal life force" again, it is not my own energy so I am not depleted after a session. The life force energy comes down the crown chakra and up the feet. This life force will clean out the chakra system as one agrees to become a channel of energy. Therefore reiki is an excellent path for self-development and healing.
One only has to be relaxed, want to heal and receive life force on any level. The best way to learn about it is to experience it for yourself. :-)

Due to requests, they are finally starting to allow Reiki practioners into our hospital rooms, here in Calgary. I'm pretty excited about it ! Your job is still safe ! :-) In my opinion nurses need medals for the work you do ! Have a great weekend, CL.
