As I walked into the dimly lit room, the smell of incense filled my nostrils. There, sitting in the middle of the room was a small, unassuming woman. She introduced herself as a Reiki practitioner and claimed that reiki incorporates the secret of natural healing. Naturally, I was skeptical, but I had heard rumors of this woman’s abilities and decided to give it a shot.
She asked me to lay down on a table and began placing her hands over various parts of my body. The energy moved slowly, crawling like the sun over a desert landscape. I could feel a warm, almost electric sensation, coursing through me. The woman explained that this was the energy, or “ki”, that she was channeling through herself into me to promote healing.
As she worked, she began to explain the history and philosophy behind Reiki. She claimed that it was a natural healing technique that originated in Japan in the early 20th century. She also explained that Reiki works by balancing the energy within the body, allowing it to flow freely, which promotes healing.
As I lay there, feeling the energy coursing through me, I couldn’t help but wonder how this all worked. Was it simply the power of suggestion, or was there something more to it? The practitioner explained that Reiki was not a belief system or a religion, but rather a natural healing technique that anyone could learn.
As the session came to an end, I couldn’t deny that I felt a sense of calm and relaxation that I hadn’t felt in a long time. Whether or not Reiki truly has the power to heal, I couldn’t say for certain. But what I do know is that there is something undeniably powerful about the human touch and the energy that we all possess. And perhaps, in the end, that is the true secret of Reiki natural healing.
