Reiki Treatment and Health Benefits | Healing Touch Therapy for Pain Relief
Reiki and Healing Touch Therapy:
A group of researchers have found out, that, a soothing, and gentle touch can ease away pain.
The researchers have said, that gently stroking the skin helps to activate the ‘pleasure’ nerves that lie under the skin, and, have the capacity to decrease painful sensation of other nerves.
The study that was conducted showed that when an individual was exposed to a painful stimulus, such as, excessive temperature on the skin surface, they felt lesser pain, if a gentle stroke, was applied simultaneously.
From this study, the researchers have concluded that the human brain prefers the soothing signals compared to the painful signals and hence the “soothing” signals from the nerves that sense the gentle stroke reduce the intensity of “painful” signals from the nerves that sense pain.
Francis Mcglone is a leading neuroscientist at the Liverpool University. He has calculated the correct “way of touch” which can bring about maximum pleasure. He suggests that the best way to stroke, to create a sense of pleasure, is to do it slowly and with and slight pressure.
He also stated that there were 2 different sets of nerves, one for pleasurable touch and one for painful touch.
Mcglone stresses on the importance of touch in children. He has said that touch is very vital for children as they grow, and an inadequate physical contact, during the growing up phase could lead to depression in later life.
What is Reiki:
- Reiki is a form of spiritual healing, using the hands. The hands are used as channels of energy.
- Dr. Mikao Usui of Japan, rediscovered this old traditional system of healing.
- Reiki hand positions that are used to give healing are almost always on the chakra (wheels of energy) locations.
- Reiki passes through the crown chakra, down the other chakras, and then into the minor chakras.
- A healer becomes a channel through which reiki healing energy can flow, as he or she places his or her hands within the auric field or on the body of the recipient.
- The healers are asked to simply let the reiki energy flow where it is needed and not direct the energy.
- Reiki is a beautiful soothing energy that brings about physical, mental and emotional healing.
Reiki Process:
- Gently pass your fingers through the recipient’s auric field, and very lightly, contact the crown of his head with the palms of your hands.
- Hold this position while you ask for energy to flow from the crown of your head, into your hands, and then into the recipient’s head.
- Rest your hands gently on his shoulders.
- Channel the healing energy into the recipient’s chakras. Bring the auric field to a balanced level.
- End the session with a personal prayer. Wash your hands and cleanse your own auric field.
