The bear and the eagle, Father Sun and Mother Earth. Nope, this is not an animal or environmental write-up. But rather, this short write-up is about Native American medicine practices and how it can be combined with another Eastern technique called Reiki to come up with a healing method that channels the life force energies of everything that surrounds us.

Practitioners refer to this as Medicine Reiki, a technique which combines the medicinal approaches of Native Americans and the rather spiritual approaches of Japanese Reiki.

But medicine Reiki was not created to surpass any other forms of Reiki but it was created because of a realization that there is a way to broaden and deepen the understanding of the energy that binds us all together. It can be seen as a natural course of action, from a general concept as Reiki, to more specialized forms like medicine Reiki.

By integrating Native American concepts of healing, beliefs and practices to the knowledge of channeling the life force energy of Reiki, healing takes place faster than when using regular Reiki or ordinary Native American medicines alone. How so, you might ask? The answer all lies on how these two elements work.

We take medicines to heal our physical ailments. But because medicines heal only the physical aspects of our body, the possibility of the illness or disease striking twice is not that far off. Medicines offer merely temporary relief. Reiki on the other hand, is an encompassing discipline which targets the physical, mental, spiritual and mental aspects of our existence. Reiki practitioners use the infinite energy that surrounds us, channels that energy and allow it to flow to anyone or anything that needs healing.

By combining these two elements of healing, you’ll get medicine energy that heals beyond its normal capacity. The combination heals both the physical state and the inner dispositions of the body faster as well.

The concept of medicine Reiki is relatively new. It was K’sitew who founded this branch of Reiki in the late 90s. From then on it grew and the practice expanded to include other energies.

The good thing about medicine Reiki is that it can only be used for healing. Unlike when taken alone, medicines can be good and bad, a dualistic energy source. Reiki is a monadic energy which means it is only good energy thus cannot do any harm. When Reiki is integrated with medicine, the dualistic energy of the latter is converted into a monadic energy resulting to a positive form of energy whose only capacity is to heal and not damage or hurt someone.

What also makes medicine Reiki different is that the healing process is done in groups or in small communities. Participation of the community is necessary during the healing sessions creating a closer bond between individuals which is great for sharing energy. The closer the bonds between the members of the group, the greater the energy flows within the group, the better and faster the healing process.

Since the founding of this Reiki technique, more healing methods have developed which draws its origins from Native American medicines.

And as long as practitioners exist, this Reiki healing technique will continue to grow and expand bringing forth new healing methods or techniques that will help people challenge their health and energy levels.

I discovered Reiki almost 10 years ago when I was living a period of stress. At that time I could not believe that healing can be possible through something invisible and untouchable. Two people put their hands just over my body and after several treatments during the day I felt like a new person in the evening.
How is healing made? People use the chakras of their hands to transfer energy to the chakras of other people`s body. A chakra is a point of energy located in a specific position in our body.
We have many points of energy (points where energy comes in and goes out). The Chinese medicine reports much over these points. These points are several and energy passes through them along energy lines. Among these, there are main points that are called Chakras.
There are seven chakras in the body of each of us. It is curious but seven are the fundamental colors and musical notes. In fact all in the universe is governed by waves which are characterized by seven frequencies.
When we sing the seven musical notes we excite our chakras. This is the best method to use to identify our chakras.
Reiki has in the centuries become a sort of medicine and those who are trained can with the time become expert in collecting energy from the universe and transferring it to other bodies. This is the basic principle of Reiki: get energy and transfer to other.
One can also get the energy from the universe through his hands and transfer it to other own chakras. You get the energy in the chakras of hands and transfer e.g. to the chakra of the stomach. But this process is not easy to do. You need training and a long term exercise.
There is also another important aspect to consider. To be successful, Reiki needs that the healer and the person to be healed are relaxed. A first section of meditation is recommended.
There are some reasons why Reiki became so popular in these days. First of all anyone can do Reiki receiving an attunement. It is not needed to develop the ability as for other disciplines where the use of meditation or other techniques are requested. All Reiki techniques are passed on from teachers to students through an attunement process starting with the one who first channeled the technique. Finally there is not need to drive the energy, with Reiki the energy flows spontaneously guided and goes where needed. Moreover, thanks to all of these characteristics Reiki becomes popular because cannot provoke pain or damages.
Those who do Reiki experience a non-invasive form of healing and realise an increase in energy in the body and mine and a better state of health. Their way of living is more relaxing.
The students start their activity with an initiation to become a channel for the Reiki energy. In the initiation the action is called “attunement” and the beginner undergoes as many attunements as they are necessary to make the energy flow through his/her body. The next step for the student is to know how to make Reiki treatments.
With the first level the students is able to do Reiki with the use of hands, hands-on Reiki. With the second level the students learns how to Reiki from remote: long distance or remote healing. The final level is for those who want to become Master Reiki, i.e. Reiki teachers.

Reiki is a traditional form of healing, with its roots in Japan, but which has in the last few decades spread and gained popularity in many other parts of the world. To become an effective Reiki practitioner, one has to take a training course. These courses are normally offered by people who have attained the third degree of Reiki training, since it is the attainment of that third degree of Reiki training that gives one the title of a Reiki master, with the ability to confer ‘attunements’ to new student practitioners. And in order to perform Reiki healing either on oneself or on others, one needs to make use of the attunements which in turn can only be attained from a Reiki master, meaning that Reiki is an art you have to learn by signing up for a course; and it is therefore not something you can learn by yourself, as you would not be able to confer the relevant attunements to yourself. There are numerous people offering Reiki courses, and if you are considering taking up one, you will naturally find yourself having to make a choice of one over the other. And as a criterion for choosing a Reiki course, there are a number of things you need to look for.The first and foremost thing you need to look for in a Reiki course is the school of thought the people offering the course subscribe to. This is because there are many schools of thought in Reiki, and you need to see whether the philosophy of the school of thought the practitioners of Reiki offering the course subscribe to is compatible with your expectations of Reiki. This is in turn because there are schools of thought in Reiki teaching that emphasize on the self-healing properties of Reiki (where the ideal state would be having everybody subscribe to Reiki for their own healing), while there are those that view that view Reiki as a specialized field, with an aim of learning it to heal others in the same way a few people go to medical school to learn medicine in order to be able to treat the rest of the population.The other major thing you need to look at in a Reiki course is the Reiki master offering it – and see if he or she is a person you would love working with. Remember, as mentioned earlier, Reiki is a discipline that depends to a large extent on master to student impartation, and therefore not one of things where the role of the teacher is detached from the learning process. The knowledge and experience of the master in Reiki practice are other things you might also want to look at, in addition to rapport between you and him or her.Costs vary between the Reiki courses offered by different schools, and this too might be a factor you can look at in choosing a Reiki course. According to one authoritative website on this subject, Reiki courses for the first degree, for instance vary from between $75 at the lowest end, to $200 at the higher end, with the costs at the master teacher level varying between $500 and $10,000 – meaning that comparing the figures (without compromising training standards) can yield worthwhile savings.

Reiki (pronounced Ray-key) comes from the Japanese Rei and Ki meaning spiritually guided life energy. Reiki for dogs is a form of spiritual healing that helps harmonize the mind, body, and soul of your pet. It can be used as a treatment for relaxation as well as a tool for releasing negative emotions and limitations.
Reiki for dogs can treat many ailments that may be currently inhibiting your dog, whether noticeable to you or not. It can reduce stress, relieve pain, headaches, stomach upsets, asthma, back problems, sinus, respiratory problems, canine hip dysplasia, anxiety and many more. After performing your first session with your pet, you will see instant results of using Reiki for your dog.
Reiki for dogs is performed with a fixed set of hand positions. Each position is formed to create a specific desired energy outcome to ultimately bring your dog into balance. To understand how to use Reiki for your dog it is important to know the different charkas that are connected to the physical organs of the body as well as the aura.
There are seven centers of energy in your pet. Reiki for dogs focuses on changing the energy from one center to another to bring about balance. The hand positions control the Chi and ultimately free your dog’s aura while allowing for a continual energy flow. The seven centers consist of the Root chakra, Navel chakra, Solar Plexus chakra, Heart chakra, Throat chakra, Third eye, and the Crown chakra. These charkas are specifically connected to different glands in your dog. Reiki for your dog will make the glands release hormones directly into the blood stream and control all aspects of your dogs daily activities and healthy thinking.
Freeing the aura is a major part of using Reiki for dogs. Before Reiki, your dog’s aura might only extend a few decimeters outside the body. After performing Reiki on your dog its aura will resonate about 2-3 meters. There are several different layers of body in the aura that Reiki will expose for your dog.
Physical Body: the most tangible part of your dog’s body. Here, Reiki for your dog will ease some of the most common fears about the physical body-sickness, aging and death.
Etheric Body: connected to the Root chakra, it is made up of a thin invisible layer that is only 2 cm thick that surrounds your dog’s body. This is where the energy is reflected when Reiki for your dog gets it flowing from chakra to chakra. Many of your dog’s dreams are found here.
Emotional Body: connected to the Navel chakra it serves as an egg shaped emotion reflector that contains the other two bodies. Emotions like hope, happiness, love, anger, and sorrow are all found here. Reiki for your dog can release these emotions from past problems your dog has suppressed and create an empty canvas for your dog to express freely.
Mental Body: connected to the Solar Plexus chakra, reflects logic, mind, and intelligent thinking. Reiki for dogs helps shape their reality.
Astral Body: the bridge between the spiritual realm and the physical world. Reiki for dogs will help them express unconditional love.
Etheric Template Body: connected to the Throat chakra, this is where your dog has its thought processes. Reiki for your dog will connect its past, and present to its future.
Celestial Body: connected to the third eye chakra, mirrors the subconscious mind. It uses your dog’s intuition to bring about higher feelings. Reiki for your dog will allow your pet to have a love that goes beyond individual to universal.
Casual Body: connected to the Crown chakra, is the last body where the initial creative impulses begin. Reiki for your dog will have your dog’s soul communicating with its conscious mind and mental body.
Reiki for your dog is a gentle but powerful healer. It will balance your dog’s energy, organs, and glands. Reiki for dogs has proven to strengthen immune systems, relieve pain, clears toxins, and enhances personal awareness while relaxing your dog.
