Reiki 101: What is Reiki? This article is based on my YouTube series "Reiki 101" and is offered here for those who prefer reading online. You can find the original video on my Mainstream Reiki YouTube channel if you'd rather watch than read! After working with Reiki since 1995 and conducting thousands of sessions, I'm excited to share my insights with you about Reiki healing in this new series called "Reiki 101." My mission has always been simple: to help people understand what Reiki truly is and what it isn't. I want to demystify this practice and bring it more into the mainstream because Reiki is something everyone can benefit from. If you've ever heard anything about Reiki that made you fearful or uncertain, this article is especially for you. Reiki sessions occur while seated or lying down. Hands may be lightly touching or off of the body. What is Reiki? At its core, Reiki is a healing technique that helps reduce stress. This stress reduction and relaxation actually help the body heal itself. We all know that our bodies have natural mechanisms—like the immune system—that help us heal. When we get sick, our body works to get us back into energy balance and wellness. Reiki supports these natural systems by helping shift our nervous system from the "fight or flight" mode (sympathetic nervous system)—which we're in most of the time in our busy world—into the "rest, digest, and restore" mode (parasympathetic nervous system). The body simply cannot repair itself when it's under stress. It needs to be in a relaxed state to do that. If you're thinking Reiki sounds completely "woo woo" or New Age, I encourage you to search online for scientific studies that back up its efficacy. I was completely skeptical myself when I first encountered Reiki in 1995. With my physics degree, I was very analytical and science-minded. It sounded too good to be true—the results didn't seem to match the level of work required. But I can tell you from experience: it really is that good. What's even more remarkable? Hundreds of hospitals in the United States and more around the world offer Reiki in their healthcare facilities. Some hospitals even have Reiki teachers on staff and offer classes on-site! They know Reiki is a healing technique with proven results for stress reduction and energy balance because if it were not worthwhile, they would not continue the programs or start new ones. Reiki is Holistic One of the most important aspects of Reiki is that it's holistic—it treats the whole person. This includes emotions and thought patterns where we often get stuck in a rut. Reiki can actually help recalibrate these patterns and shift them into a healthier state of being. Physically, scientific studies in hospitals have shown that Reiki decreases pain and reduces the need for pain medications. If I had to sum up Reiki in one word, it would be "better." Reiki helps people feel better—physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. How Reiki Works Reiki is administered through the hands of the practitioner. These hands can be placed either on the body or slightly off the body. Reiki can also be transmitted over distance—people don't even need to be in the same physical location to receive its benefits. And contrary to what some might think, Reiki practitioners didn't invent distance Reiki because of the pandemic. It's always been part of Reiki training, going back to its origins in Japan over a hundred years ago. There's a tradition and framework for Reiki classes, and distance Reiki has been part of that for decades. The entire system of Reiki is based on the life force energy that flows in and around all living things. That might sound a bit "woo woo," but if we think about it, everything alive has vitality—an energy to being alive. All living things have this life force energy flowing in and around them in a certain way. We have what I call "energy anatomy"—you might have heard terms like chakras and meridians. These energy centers or pathways help the life force energy flow and be distributed in a certain way to support life in the physical body. This concept is central to Reiki practice because when this life force energy flows in balance, we feel good. The problem is that life's stresses—everyday pressures, trauma, abuse—can upset that flow. A Reiki practitioner offers Reiki energy through their hands to help restore that life force energy to its intended flow. When our energy flows in a balanced way, we feel centered, we sleep well, and we move through life with ease. But when life happens and we react to stress—stuffing emotions, feeling hurt without healthy ways to heal—we cause disruptions in our energy flow. Reiki helps restore that balance. Reiki in a hospital setting is a stress-reducing complement to treatment and an additional way to support patients. Complementary, Not Alternative Another important point: Reiki is a complementary therapy, not an alternative one. This distinction matters because we're never asking anyone to replace medical care with Reiki. Reiki goes right alongside anything you might need to do for your well-being. For example, if you're going through chemotherapy, you can also receive Reiki. What's often seen is that the chemotherapy process becomes a bit smoother, and the side effects are lessened for someone receiving Reiki throughout their treatment. Reiki is simply something that makes life better. I hope this introduction to Reiki has been helpful as we explore Reiki here on the Mainstream Reiki website in these articles. Remember: Reiki doesn't cause harm. It's perfectly natural. Anyone can learn it, anyone can receive its benefits, and you don't even have to believe in it for it to work. Pretty remarkable.

Are you a planner like me? I had a fabulous idea for my message to you, but when I began to write, the words just did not come together. I felt like l was trying to force something, so I stopped. I took a deep breath and let go. Then I typed, “What is the message for the August newsletter readers?” And just like that, the plan changed into this message. I’ll put my idea aside and try again in September. We will say to you that the message is clear. Life goes on. No matter what you busy your mind with, no matter what the news cycle reports, your personal life is going on. The emotions you carried yesterday and the day before were still there when you woke up this morning. The lingering, unprocessed traumas and emotions are there for you. Regardless of what you distract yourself with, your personal story and state of emotion persist. We ask you to consider: when will it be time for you to address the issues that plague you? We invite you to step into the light of possibility that resolution may bring you. Peace is attainable within you to an extent you cannot imagine. If you seek more peace in your life, please come home to yourself and invest in your care and the processing of this lifetime’s events. And, yes, many of you are aware and focused on healing from past life events, which is also worthwhile. However, all events you have suffered in this lifetime have not occurred free from influence or connection to your soul's past and parallel experiences. Therefore, you are given a key to healing simply by living in this current lifetime and addressing the challenges you have faced. Nothing is hidden or out of reach if you concentrate on resolving what has occurred for you here. You are not living an isolated existence. The totality of your soul and all its wisdom is simply behind a veil while fully present and connected to you in every moment. It can be no other way. You are in wholeness. Your journey is to simply integrate all you have been, all you know yourself to be, and all you truly Are. And when these come into alignment in your awareness, your work upon this planet will conclude. It is then that your mission may be expanded, and you will choose how to serve and express the Light of who You Are. Freedom shall then be yours. Andrea: And so, practically, what can we do? 1. Seek Out Wisdom Seek out wisdom through means that bring mental consideration, reflection, and contrast so that you may see and feel more clearly who you are and who you are not. This is how you learn more about yourself, your desires, and your purpose. This means opening to perspectives that may differ from what you are used to accepting. If you find something challenging, ask yourself why and deepen your self-inquiry. From this place, your understanding grows. 2. Move Your Body Move your body in new ways. Even if you are active already, ask your body what it desires in movement. Change patterns, change routines, and let in a more fluid way of exercising the physical body so that all parts are addressed and included. Love all the parts of your body, even if you find them disgusting. Realize that rejection of a part of yourself impedes the life energy from supporting your health. This is why disease sometimes manifests in the body. Take care of your body and love it for all it does for you in miraculous ways each and every day. 3. Feed and Nurture Your Spirit Feed and nurture your spirit in nature, in quiet, in rest. Find what is peaceful for you and schedule time for this daily. There is no substitute, and nowhere may one purchase peace. Peace is cultivated like a garden full of beauty and abundance and does not grow by accident or in times of drought. For these reasons, peace is precious and a personal endeavor for which you alone are responsible. 4. Remember, You Are Not Alone Finally, remember you are not alone on this Earth and were not meant to choose aloneness. Be with people. Appreciate people. Love people. They are simply doing what they feel they must, and many are completely unaware of themselves from a higher perspective. It is not your mission to educate them, save them, or rub their noses in their ‘bad’ behavior. Those who insist on these pursuits divert their attention away from healing their personal lingering unprocessed traumas and emotions, and the cycle of suffering within persists. We wish you deepest healing and highest blessings on your journey home, found through healing yourself through love. ~~~~~~~~ I invite you to join me in the conscious creation of more peace within, Andrea

from the July 2023 Mainstream Reiki Newsletter I began to receive messages from the Divine Animal Kingdom when I was a student of Animal Reiki that I now teach. What astounds me is the wisdom they possess and the love they have for us. I feel this comes through in their message I’m sharing here with you: "Please take time to be a nature. We commune with you when you do this. We love you. Please also know that you may rest more. Even though you are doing so well to listen and grow in your light, we ask you to remember to rest. Enjoy life, too, and give yourself time away from the push to succeed in whatever it is you are pursuing. All moments in balance lead to growth and evolution. Even when it seems as though you are standing still, you grow. We understand this may not seem likely or possible, but we assure you that your soul and spirit work tirelessly and consistently to usher in a higher vibration, higher knowing, and more love. You are amazingly resourceful and resilient and have wisdom far beyond what appears to your conscious mind and awareness. We ask you to consider our words and our wisdom to reframe yourselves and redefine who you allow yourselves to be. You are so much more than you have known. When you allow yourself to be unlimited, you become unlimited. Only you hold this power in relation to your energy and evolution. We ask you to determine if you are open to more fully expressing who you truly are, and then you may claim this in truth by intention and authority. It is by doing this that you ascend to the next threshold of ascension, whereby you step forward as a co-creator on the Earth like never before. We all move higher in the realms more easily as you each claim your power and expression in the highest of ways. Your clear expression of the light of who you are, have always been, and forever shall be, allows others and invites others to do the same. And Light multiplies. Love multiplies. Peace multiplies. Do you not see yourself as one who saves this planet and all of creation within your site and senses? If not before, please acknowledge this today, for you are present and hearing our song for many reasons, but the unification of vision, light, and love is the paramount manifestation in the revolution you are experiencing now on Earth. And you are a change agent – instrumental in this war where no force or weapons are needed, simply your love, your intention, and your knowing of who you really are. Fearless expression is what you may choose to do. Sing your song vibrationally through thought, love, focus, and attention on how you wish things to be. Your choices are wise, and we thank you for your wakefulness in these times where many are confused and lost in the denial of the light of which they are a part – in oneness, we are, and we ask you to continue to live informed daily with this truth. For all of life is within you, and you are within all of life." Perhaps it's a time to reflect not only on this message but our relationships with the animals we've known in our lives and all they have taught us through their persistent presence and unconditional love. Highest blessings, Andrea
