Reiki is the ancient practice of the laying on of hands to specific energy centers located throughout the human body. It is a holistic modality which channels universal life force energy to heal the body, mind, and spirit. Recovery Reiki® is a specific type of Reiki targeting the pain associated with addiction and codependency, and ultimately heals the trauma which occurs as a result.
In Recovery Reiki® we'll delve into a whole-person approach to healing that not only includes energy medicine but gut health, cleaning up environmental toxins, and healing with crystals. We also explore in-depth the negative impact the pain-body has on the body, mind, and soul.
Recovery Reiki® is a form of Reiki which specifically deals with using life force energy to target the "pain-body" of an individual. "Pain-Body" is a term coined by Eckhart Tolle to describe an entity a person creates while alive made up of stored emotional energy and strongly associated with addiction, codependency, and trauma. Recovery Reiki® also incorporates different Japanese symbols and hand placements used in traditional Reiki with some minor alterations. Recovery Reiki® also incorporates more knowledge of the meridian system within the healing sessions. There is also awareness around the "pain-body" and a targeted way to deliver Recovery Reiki® so that the pain-body transmutes into light energy.
In traditional Reiki it is wise to understand that the viewpoint of healing any specific disorder is not encouraged, and an intention is not always necessary in order for the energy medicine to work. However, in Recovery Reiki® the opposite is true. To heal a malady, it is imperative to acknowledge whatever malady is present and set the intention to heal. It is only when there is awareness around the malady that it can be healed. An intention is also particularly important in Recovery Reiki®. Intention is powerful in that it creates a container for the energy medicine to work. When the energy medicine is targeted towards the pain-body and when the practitioner has awareness around the negative impact the pain-body has on the physical body and its field of energy, the reiki knows exactly where to go.
Like Usui Reiki, Recovery Reiki® encourages homeostasis or self-correction within the body. The hand positions of Reiki are located near the endocrine system/glands and the nerve plexus areas of the body. These hand positions also pay close attention to the body's dualistic properties of masculine and feminine energy.
It is also wise to note that while engaging in Reiki and Recovery Reiki® more specifically, that a healing crisis can happen which is an aggravation to the system. This healing crisis is temporary, and clients are made aware of the blockages leaving the body and the manifestations of symptoms. These symptoms may occur mentally, physically, emotionally, or spiritually and range from flu-like symptoms, aches and pains, tiredness, release of repressed memories, sensations and feelings, unusual dreams, and weeping.
Overall, who can benefit from Recovery Reiki®? The answer is simple: people who are in recovery from drugs, alcohol, and suffer from issues with addiction, codependency, and trauma. Additionally, Recovery Reiki® is beneficial to clinicians and practitioners in a medical/healing environment, and people who are looking for a significant shift or change in their level of wellness. Recovery Reiki® is for the person who is looking for a deeper approach to their healing practice and for anyone who is willing to be an active participant in their healing process.
