Reiki psychotherapy is an approach that directs attention to the mind-body relationship. Use energy to work on "blocks" in the body to regulate and release the flow of restrained energy.
At the heart of this approach is the place where symptoms and psychological states are organized and maintained by “qi” - the energy in the human energy field and transported through the body.
The treatment of psychological problems and conditions in Reiki practice is conducted around four main tasks:
1. Presence practice
This first task focuses on the symptoms and pain that we ourselves are experiencing. It is understandable that we do not want to look at fear and pain, but in fact, avoidance does not heal at all, on the contrary, makes it difficult to heal. Practicing identification helps us to open our hearts and create a relaxing environment before receiving Reiki. The basic techniques in the practice of presence are: Attention, Permissiveness, Openness, and Relaxation.
During Reiki reception, focus on symptoms and current problems. Pay attention to any bodily sensations, thoughts, or reactions that arise. When symptoms appear, pay attention to the body's response, try to let it go. Regulate your breathing, breathe slowly, deeply, evenly, and relax around the symptoms.
This exercise helps us to be more open to the symptoms we are facing. It helps us explore these symptoms more fully, helps reduce anxiety and fear, and increases our self-control. Face-to-face helps us to accept the voice of our body, ready to transform the symptoms.
2. Exploring body - mind
Exploring the body and mind will give us a broader, more complete view of the symptoms and problems we are facing. In the process of receiving Reiki, the Reiki master will help us discover the source of our symptoms and how the parts (physical, emotional, mental, relational, and spiritual) are connected. The basic techniques for exploring the body and mind are the Exploration Technique and the Release Technique.
Mind and emotions exist in every cell of the body, which means unresolved negative effects can be anywhere in the body. Reiki can be used to indicate injuries, their severity, and aid in their release. When you feel areas of tension, pain, or constrained energy, Reiki helps to regulate energy by breathing deeply, slowly, and evenly. Keep yourself focused and relaxed, and gently notice your body's reactions.
3. Release energy blocks
This task involves using techniques to remove traumas, painful memories, and negative thoughts and release their latent energy. A fundamental technique for this task is the Mental-Emotional Release Technique.
This technique is adapted from Weston (1998). To begin, the therapist places the client on the massage table. The therapist then asks the client to choose a color and imagine the color in the hands of the therapist. They are placed on the heart chakra and the yang plexus - the client's abdomen. (The heart chakra is the emotional center and the yang plexus is the energy center related to the mind and mental activity.)
The therapist helps clients bring to mind memories, thoughts, even even unpleasant feelings that cause intense emotions. As memory and sensation emerge, the client is instructed to send these responses into the hands of the therapist. As the client does this, the therapist will feel the heat transfer into their hand. As the client sends mental and emotional responses into the therapist's hand, the client will feel that the color under the therapist's hand is beginning to fade to white. And this is a sign that release is happening. During times of body release, a client may experience a different memory or sensation, and when this occurs, the therapist should encourage the client to send these new responses into the hands. surname. Usually after 10 to 20 minutes, clients have released quite a bit of energy during the session.
After a strong emotional release, many people feel an energetic void where their disturbing thoughts or emotions have been stored in the body. And it is important for the therapist to let Reiki fill this void. It can take many repetitions to deal with a serious trauma. But often progress will be recorded after only one session.
4. Reinstall experience
This task involves using techniques to start thinking, feeling, and acting differently and with positive intentions. The techniques in this section seek to introduce new information into the client's energy field and body.
After the customer releases the blockage. This new information is installed in the form of affirmations, positive images, successful outcomes, and adjusted thoughts and beliefs. And feeling positive promotes a state of healing, well-being, contentment, and well-being. We replace thoughts, judgments, and beliefs that hurt our bodies with messages of positivity, love, and compassion. A basic technique for implementing correction experience is the Sei He Ki technique.
Dr. Usui, founder of Reiki. He taught specific hand positions to be used when installing information in a client's field. This technique requires the use of three level two Reiki symbols. After placing these symbols in the hand. The therapist places his or her dominant hand on the back of the client's head. His non-dominant hand on the client's forehead. The therapist kept the hand there for two or three minutes while he was. And the customer silently repeats the new information they want to install. The therapist then removes his or her non-dominant hand from the client's forehead. And put Reiki behind the client's head. (The Spirit of Reiki, 2001)
