The Importance of an Energy Therapy – Uses of Reiki – Part 1 of 4

Article by João Antão Marques

The majority of people are not aware that in the Universe everything is energy, and nothing else than energy. The matter as we know it, is energy which frequency has been lowered in order to be perceived by our senses.

The problem with energy is that nobody ever saw it, although nobody doubts that it exists (I hope..), only the physical evidences of its existence can be seen. A glowing lamp shows the passage of electric energy, the movement of the leafs show the action of the wind energy, we can feel the wind on our faces but we cannot see it.

So, in order a couple of things will make sense to a very large number of people, it’s important that people becomes really aware that in the Universe only energy exits.

Energy and the amount of matter created by (or inversely the energy created by a given amount of matter) are related by the very well-known formula by Einstein.

E = M C2, in which E is the energy, M is the quantity of matter and C the speed of light in the vacuum (circa 300 000 km/s).

More recently, the “Theory of Cords” has reconfirmed this statement “In the Universe the only thing there is, is Energy”. Although a very complex mathematical one, this Theory can be resumed as follows “when we will succeed in breaking the smallest particle possible, we will obtain a vibrant cord vibrating with the intrinsic energy of the matter we started with”.

We live in a tridimensional world and, accordingly, we need a physical body to interact with the surrounding environment and without it life would be impossible, the same applying to the energy body, without it we wouldn’t be able to interact with the omnipresent energy.

Bearing in mind the existence of our two bodies, it will be easy to accept that alterations produced in one of them will have a direct effect on the other.

It’s well know that drugs, or even some aliments, can have a direct impact in the reduction of our vibratory level, on the other hand several therapies and meditation have a beneficial impact on our physical health.

So, it will be easy to accept that damages to our Energy Body are the cause of physical problems and vice-versa. It is well known to Reiki practitioners that the disease initiates on our Energy Body and progresses through the layers of the Aura till it reaches the physical body (Sensitive people will perceive the illness as black strings crossing the Aura or as grey clouds over the affected organ). Some physical diseases such as the Crohn Disease, are the expression of extremely high levels of stress resulting in the weakening of the immunity system.

A couple of years ago I had an interesting experience with the child of one of my patients. For the great concern of the parents their five years son started to stutter and, when analyzing with the mother the reasons that could be behind, I was informed of two situations I’ve considered to be the trigger. One, a great fall he had, in which he broke his front teeth and the second, when he got lost (although for a short while) from his parents during holidays.

I told the mother to bring the child and, when assessing his energy condition, I verified that his energy was, if we can use this word, rumpled, a complete mess, with several chakras blocked and others inverted, namely the Crown chakra, something I consider quite unusual in a five year old child. I made a few treatments and in less than two months the boy was speaking normally again.

This example shows clearly that the energy disequilibrium caused by the trauma had physical consequences which disappeared the moment the equilibrium was reestablished.

Everything we do, our words, our thoughts even what we write, are different forms of energy and have a strong influence in others, in the Universe and, of course in ourselves.

The importance of words, either written or spoken, is demonstrated in a magnificent way by Dr. Masaru Emoto, a Japanese scientist, who submitted water to the influence of words, froze it and analyzed the resulting crystals. Dr. Emotos’ books on water are really worth reading.

Everyone during his daily routine is submitted to negative impulses that have a negative effect in the energy body, thus the importance of a therapy that reestablishes and repairs the damages suffered by the Aura.

Reiki is one of the two Therapies I know (the other being the “Lotus Light Jewel”) that treats the whole body, physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

The way Reiki works is not consensual as some consider it as an energy, with direct influence in our body and others as “something” that helps our body to recover it’s healing capacity. For me, Reiki is a given frequency of the Universe Energy, with the capability to promote immediate relief (pain for instance) and at the same time empowering the body to restore its healing capacity. The extent and/or levels of healing depending on the duration of treatments and the needs of the patient.

One of the aspects considered fundamental in Reiki, is the capacity it has to restore the energy thus making it an essential therapy in many situations.
