Reiki is the art of healing the body, mind and soul by passing universal energy in the body. This can either be done by a reiki master who channels this energy into the person whom he his healing or people can also practice self-healing by practicing reiki on their own. The method consists of deep breathing and complete relaxation. When energy passes through the body, people feel a kind of heal spreading through every organ. Negative energy pockets in the body are unblocked and there is a surge of positive energy, which is extremely relaxing and soothing. Reiki is an excellent stress busting routine without any negative side effects associated with medicines.
Reiki relaxation and healing technique
Reiki seems easy at the outset but involves a lot of practice. You can begin by practicing simple relaxation techniques. Sit in a comfortable pose or lie down. Relax yourself completely. Close your eyes and shut out disturbances. Easily open your palms without feeling the need to use energy for it. Feel the energy chorusing through you. You should have an easy smile on your face and bring in good thoughts in your mind. The principle of Reiki revolves around completely surrendering the body and mind and allowing energy of the universe to flow through you. Breathing from the abdomen is an integral part of Reiki. Do not expect complete relaxation the first time. For help, you can listen to Reiki chants or music, which is extremely soothing. You should take care that every part of your body is involved in this relaxation exercise.
Reiki headache relief technique
Relief from headache requires you to channel energy through your palms into the head area, forehead, eyes and neck. To begin, sit in an upright position. Hands should be placed on both sides of the behind of the head. Cup your hands when you touch the back of your head. Channel energy through your palms for a while. Then gradually remove hands and place one hand on the forehead and the other hand at the bottom point of your skull. Gently but firmly cradle your head. The third step of the exercise is to bring hands to brow level and cover your eyes. The other hand should be placed at the top of your head such that it touches the hand covering the brow. Hold your head firmly in this position and relax your body in order to allow uninhibited flow of energy. Once completed, you will feel extremely relaxed and free of emotional stress.

Let the energy flow into your temples for clearing tension in the mind. This is also a great headache reliever. Continue the exercise and place your hands on the back of the neck.

Once you feel energized, take a deep breath and hold it. Feel the energy. Within a few minutes, you can feel a rush of energy when you hold your breath. Do it as long as you are comfortable.
Reiki breathing technique
Breathing with the abdomen is a very profound Reiki procedure. The exercise can be done either sitting and lying down. When you breathe in, your abdomen should swell and when you exhale, your abdomen should reduce back to original position. You should concentrate and imagine that you are breathing in the universal energy. Reiki practitioners also suggest associating breathe with light. As you breathe in and the air flows into your body, imagine it reaching your energy chakras and lighting them up. This brings a huge surge of energy in the body. The effects can be felt only if you are alert and aware of the energy flow in the body.

Karuna Reiki
Karuna Riki chant is a very powerful kind of Reiki practice. The vibrations and sounds of these chants envelope you in positive energy and negative energies are lifted. To enjoy heightened stress relieving benefits from this chant, lie down in the floor. Your back should be straight, you should face up and palms should be open to the sky. Concentrate on the energies in your body and shut out all external disturbances. With practice, you will be able to achieve a state known as “conscious sleeping”. When the music plays and you concentrate, you will be able to visualize yourself completely surrounded by bright white light. You will also experience weightlessness. People who have undergone this treatment report feeling negative waves coming out and leaving their bodies at great speed. This treatment leaves you with a feeling of euphoria.
Kundalini Reiki
Kundalini Reiki is similar to traditional Reiki practices. However, the difference is that in Kundalini Reiki, energies are focused at the energy chakras in the body. In other words, Kundalini Reiki is more specific in its approach to healing. The energy that a person receives is known as Kundalini Fire or Kundalini Energy. This energy is focused on the main Root Chakra. From this point, energy traverses to other chakras and in the process, enhanced body healing takes place. This is usually performed by a master and is difficult to practice on your own. The main benefit of this kind of Reiki is that it unblocks all chakras and promotes free flow of positive energy.
