| Block One
How Does Reiki Work?
We are alive because life force is flowing through us. Life
force flows within the physical body though pathways called chakras, meridians and nadis.
It also flows around us in a field of energy called the aura. Life force nourishes the
organs and cells of the body, supporting them in their vital functions. When this flow of
life force is disrupted, it causes diminished function in one or more of the organs and
tissues of the physical body.
The life force is responsive to thoughts and feelings. It becomes disrupted when we
accept, either consciously or unconsciously, negative thoughts or feelings about
ourselves. These negative thoughts and feelings attach themselves to the energy field and
cause a disruption in the flow of life force. This diminishes the vital function of the
organs and cells of the physical body.
Reiki heals by flowing through the affected parts of the energy field and charging them
with positive energy. It raises the vibratory level of the energy field in and around the
physical body where the negative thoughts and feelings are attached. This causes the
negative energy to break apart and fall away. In so doing, Reiki clears, straightens and
heals the energy pathways, thus allowing the life force to flow in a healthy and natural
way.

Do All Healers Use Reiki?
All healers use life force or Ki, but not all use Reiki. Reiki is a special kind of
life force that can only be channelled by someone that has been attuned to it. It is
possible that some people are born with Reiki or have gotten it some other way. However,
most healers who have not received the Reiki attunement from a Reiki Master are not using
Reiki but another kind of life force. People who already do healing work consistently
report an increase of at least fifty percent in the strength of their healing energies
after taking the Reiki training.

Reiki Can Never Cause Harm
Because Reiki is guided by the God-consciousness, it can never do harm. It always knows
what a person needs and will adjust itself to create the effect that is appropriate for
them. One never need worry about whether to give Reiki or not. It is always helpful.
In addition, because the practitioner does not direct the healing and does not decide
what to work on, or what to heal, the practitioner is not in danger of taking on the karma
of the client. Because the practitioner is not doing the healing, it is also much easier
for the ego to stay out of the way and allow the presence of God to clearly shine through.

Energy is Never Depleted
Because it is a channelled healing, the Reiki practitioner's energies are never
depleted. In fact, the Reiki consciousness considers both practitioner and client to be in
need of healing, so both receive treatment. Because of this, giving a treatment always
increases one's energy and leaves one surrounded with loving feelings of well-being.
