Reiki-Sante (english)

To begin, the reiki practitioner needs to assess the energy of the person receiving treatment. This means trying to discover the trouble zones in the body. If we imagine energy as a fluid circulating through the body, it will be using channels – motorways, roads, tracks, crossroads. An energy block, to keep to the same metaphor, will be like a road block or like a traffic jam at a junction, etc.
Obviously, this is an image, not reality. But this helps by giving us a picture of the type of feelings we may experience. A well-balanced person will project a uniform, fluid perception during assessment. On the other hand, a person with an energy imbalance will cause the practioner to get different perceptions from different parts of the body. Practitioners will not register those diffeences in the same way. For some it’s a question of hot and cold, others feel more or less tingling in their fingers, or else a feeling of density or emptiness; some perceive different colours.
In practical terms, the energy assessment involves passing one’s hands over the person’s body without touching it for just one or two minutes. Each practitioner develops his or her own routine ; there is no single fixed procedure.

During the assessment, the practitioner must be mindful and receptive. One needs to make one’s mind a blank, free of voluntary or intrusive thoughts in order to facilitate contact with the person’s energy, to be able to “listen” to what the person’s body is “saying” about their suffering.
If one zone seems to be « speaking » then that is usually the part of the body that has led the person to seek treatment.But this is not always the case and it is rare to find just one area expressing itself. To return to the image of roads, a traffic jam in one place can often be explained by a problem further ahead or further back. In the same way, a reiki practitioner will be able to identify other problem areas, of which the person may be unaware, but which will need to be harmonised if the person’s problem is to be treated successfully.

This assessment will enable the reiki practitioner to direct treatment more particularly towards certain areas, before finishing with an overall treatment which always covers the emunctroy or excretory organs, necessary for toxins to be eliminated successfully from the body.
