My first experience with Reiki or understanding what Reiki was, wasn't through a session but through a dream. Seeing my hands glow a golden hue as I stood over a sickly man, offering to heal him with the guiding force of the spirits. I wasn't too far off after I decided to do research into this healing method. Learning to allow myself to be an open channel for that divine essence. Becoming a vessel for healing. I've practiced the art on myself a few times before embarking on my Reiki training. With Reiki, I bring also to the healing some alchemical elements. Using the laws of polarity and vibration to tune in to the specific vibration of the energy centers and applying its opposite in order to realign the spirit and soul. Working with Reiki and the energies within the body, it becomes like child's play seeing the correspondence of the chakras, the personalities, the body's ailments, the emotions, etc. And in understanding how these aspects relate to one another, the healing process becomes fluid. Healing for me occurs firstly on a spiritual level, then mental, and lastly bodily. Tracing the blockages of energy down to the subconscious level and even down to the spirit. Purifying the essence so that its correspondences (mind & body), heal and become purified by proxy.
