Reiki Hand Positions are as absurd as they are painted |
The Reiki Hand Positions for other people's treatment as for self-treatment are absurd.
It is said that when the Reiki Healing System was introduced in Europe and America, the Reiki Masters of the time were forced to create a method of laying on of hands adapted to the western world, since in Japan, Reiki is applied intuitively , and that Westerners did not have that "energetic" intuition to practice this method of healing as the Japanese do.
Well, in the West there have always been good healers, especially intuitive ones, but that's another matter.
To my knowledge, in Japan the laying on of hands over the chakras is practiced and by means of intuition, that is, after having connected energetically with the receiver of the therapy (laying on of hands over the chakras), the therapist places his Hands on those parts of the patient's body that he feels need healing energy. At the end of the session the Balancing and Grounding or Rooting would be done.
In the West there are better methods of laying on hands such as the Chelation of the Chakras |
Some reiki "historians" trace the creation of the western hand positions of the healing system dealt with Furumoto and even Takata. I don't know, but it reaffirms my belief that the Reiki Masters who introduced Reiki to Europe were not Masters, in the sense that they knew human spiritual anatomy.
It is also said that the current Reiki hand positions cover the entire human energy body. Maybe yes, maybe no. What is true is that there are better methods of laying on hands in the West than those used by current Reiki Practitioners and Masters, such as "the chelation of the chakras" by Barbara Ann Brennan.
Healing the Major Chakras would be Logical since they are the " Cornerstone" of the Human Spiritual Anatomy |
Nor would it have been so difficult to explain to a future class in Reiki Practitioners where the chakras were located and what parts and organs of the body sustain with energy, and work on it. Did the early Western Reiki Masters know about the Major Chakra System or did they not? And if they knew him, why didn't they introduce him to their classes?
It would be just as easy, or perhaps better, to teach healing to be applied to the chakras than to all parts of the body except the chakras, as they have done so far. If one wanted to treat a specific part or organ of the body, one hand would be placed on the organ to be treated and the other hand on the corresponding chakra. It is known to everyone that it is in the chakras that the root of any energy imbalance or manifested disease is found, is it not?
I have seen on the Internet that some Reiki Masters advertise their courses as traditional Japanese Reiki but teach it with the western hand positions ...?
