You will find that throughout this website I talk about ‘complementary healing’. This of course is not a reference to ‘free’ or ‘no charge’, but rather the definition ‘in addition to’. I have a legal obligation to state it, but there is a deeper meaning to it as well. Not one single modality will take care of both the symptoms and the root cause for the dis-ease, nor will any given singular modality or regime sort out one of them; the sum of your efforts will.

When you take steps towards healing, whether that being through going to the doctor, seeing your holistic healer, or any other way, you take the first steps towards healing. You then progress towards finding out what is wrong and starting a regime to recover. You might end up having to go through rehabilitation after you’ve been ‘cured’. My point with laying this out is that your healing is based on your efforts, no one heals you, you heal yourself with the help of professionals. If you did not take the first step you would never be healed because you choose not to. So, good on you, you make the effort!

Now we have that concept out of the way, I want to look at Reiki specifically. As you may have discovered in my earlier writings, Reiki healing energy works in your subtle body to help clear energetic obstacles in your meridians and chakras. These correspond to beliefs in your subconscious mind that limit you from reaching your full potential; limiting beliefs. These can be beliefs such as ‘I’m not good enough’, ‘I will never find true love’, ‘Nobody every does anything good for me’, etc. These beliefs result from events and are linked to memories. So what happens when these energetic ‘knots’ are cleared up? Well, simply put, you will have these beliefs come up to your conscious mind to be dealt with. If you do not deal with them, they will remain and the obstacles will not be removed. Hence your effort will now be needed to work through these issues to clear the energy from your system. Sometimes you need to see a counsellor to work through them or if you are in tune enough work through it yourself in meditation or some other modality. I am simplifying it a tad as you do need to look at every aspect of yourself and apply modalities that resonate with you to live a healthy and balanced lifestyle. However, if you make this effort you will be attracted to healthier foods, desire to exercise, spend more time with your loved ones, interact with people in general, watch less TV, do well in your career, etc. All these things will then help you become a happier, healthier and more balanced person. You see how they all feed in to each other and support your greater good?

The whole idea here is that Reiki can help you with the symptoms, but not the root cause, it is one piece in your complementary healing chart. However, if you start with Reiki early enough as preventative measure, you never end up having many of the limiting beliefs and thus can remain in balance with Reiki as your modality of choice. I myself use a wide variety of modalities, including Reiki and meditation, and it has allowed me to get on a path where I experience love, joy, health and abundance with ease and little effort.
