Reiki Healing Styles - Do You Seek the Traditional One or the Modern One?

Reiki healing, in its "pure" form and as non-traditional Reiki in concert with a variety of other healing styles, is a method by which the unseen life force or energy that flows through all humans is enhanced and channeled to create a state of improved health.

The end goal is to cure illness, and to reduce stress. Traditional Usui Reiki is administered by physical contact with the hands. Individuals who have undergone the treatments report a renewed sense of warmth and well-being as well as an overall strengthening of their mind, body and spirit.

Evolution of Non-Traditional Reiki Techniques

As something of a form of guided mediation, Reiki healing methods seek to achieve balanced energy and to restore natural life force. Because it is a holistic approach accommodating of other healing and belief systems, Reiki has been open to modifications and is now available in a number of forms.

Traditional Usui Reiki

In the 1800s, the Christian monk Dr. Makao Usui re-discovered the Japanese healing discipline of Reiki. Believed to be thousands of years old, Reiki is a gentle preventative and enhancing therapy appropriate for all ages as a method to maintain health and to increase life energy in those who are experiencing a depletion of the force - for instance the ill or the elderly. This channeling and strengthening of energy is accomplished through hand positions concentrating mainly on the head and torso.

Vajra Reiki

In the last ten years a more aggressive variant of Reiki healing energy work called Vajra Reiki has become systematized and popular. It is a combination of traditional Usui Reiki and Johrei, a healing method to channel divine light from the practitioner to the patient. The combined discipline creates intensely focused, "hot" energy geared toward healing severe illnesses such as AIDS through hand positions designed to cover the entire body.
