Specific application of Reiki by laymen should serve the purpose of prevention and treatment of minor common complaints without taking medicines. But they must understand that serious problems should be dealt with by a qualified therapist. The information given in this chapter is meant to assist the healer in using Reiki.
Removing the Blockage of acute diseases
Specific application of Reiki energy is suitable for clearly defined blockages and acute disease symptoms. In fact blockages causing obstacles to receiving Reiki can be loosened up before giving further Reiki. The blockages may be chronic and the area affected cold. Generally these may be old wounds or injury or shocks to the system which have not been dealt with earlier. Other areas which draw energy and feel very hot when touched will be loosened up after whole body treatment. These' 'hot" blockages are acute or sub-acute energy build-ups that are discharged without too much difficulty but which sometimes have a tendency to block energy again after initial release as another, yet deeper, blockage may continue to exist. If one is not sure where to concentrate, one may give whole body treatment before addressing any blockages.
Reiki Relax Patient by Removing energy blockage
And once the build ups are released, the patient expresses his/her feelings by crying, laughter, or sadness. But it is good for him or her. The patient should in such case take care that the recipient does not go off with a blockage which is not completely removed. He may in that case be overwhelmed by feelings and face a critical situation a short time later. It is difficult to say how fast a blockage is dissolved and how much energy is released in the process. But it is important that the energy released is integrated which can be known when the client is able to accept his/her feeling
Supplying additional Life Force
It can be a challenge if someone becomes aware of issues suppressed thus far and he or she finds it difficult to deal with this conformation. Usually Reiki on its own is not recommended for integrative work as it would require too much time. The various methods of psychological therapies such as rebirthing and various forms of body work are suitable for the emotional release work.
It might be advisable to give specific treatment to problem areas so that weakened organs and vessels are supplied with additional life-force energy. As already stated in the previous chapter there are special positions for diabetes, multiple sclerosis, whiplash injury etc.
Rendering Special Treatment
Specific Reiki works without other additional forms of treatment especially in emergencies. Reiki can be very useful in emergencies. Its application can even be of decisive importance and help bridge the gap until medical assistance arrives, e. g, for treating kidney shock, for stopping bleeding, for calming down a person, etc.
Reiki can also be helpful for minor injuries such as burns, cuts, insect bites, sore feet, etc. Cramps, stomach pains, nausea, headache and -a sore throat can also first be treated with Reiki without resorting to drugs.
