Reiki treatment
Et si demain ne venait pas ?
Si le temps révélait soudain son nom : absence.
Je prendrais alors mon envol sans conscience,
Laissant mon corps à son ombre.
J-P Chupin
How is reiki treatment carried out?
Practitioners begin by calmly entering a state of receptivity to reiki energy. They then place their hands in different positions on or over the body of the person receiving treatment (or on their own bodies in the case of self-treatment). It is not necessary to actually touch the person for the reiki to be transferred. The person receiving treatment remains clothed.
Reiki treatment lasts from ten minutes for a localised problem to over an hour for a complete treatment.
Reiki can be transferred at a distance. This technique is learnt at the second stage.
Other techniques are taught at higher stages.
Animals and plants can be treated.
Reiki should not be assimilated to a medical therapy. A medical act entails a diagnosis and implies treatment specifically adapted to the pathology in question. Such acts are outside the competence of reiki practitioners unless they are doctors. Reiki will often make the person feel better and can sometimes cure but only the doctor can decide whether the patient should change his or her medication.
A person who has received reiki treatment should never stop or reduce his or her medication without consulting a doctor.
