Reiki question?

[AirSpirit]

Is the craft of Reiki done by a person on another, or can someone do it on themselves? I would like to explore Reiki, but I do not like to be touched or like touching others. So, is it something one can apply upon themselves?

Thank you

Reiki can be performed on yourself, by yourself. However, the most effective treatments are usually performed by a more fully-trained professional.
Hope this helps!

Yes, it does. Thank you.

Reiki is the act of drawing down and sending universal energy through the hands to charge, heal and balance. Anyone can be a gateway for this universal energy however the more complex use of symbols as is tradition in Reiki and Terra mai can only be done by level 2 or level 3 masters. As a level one reiki, which is a single course you are taught how to access the universal energy, how to send it and to recieve it, breaking through any emotional blockades you might have.

Giving yourself reiki can be just as effective as recieving it, sometimes even more so because there is no trust issue and you usually know best where to send it anyway.

Hope this helped

Can this be self taught or is necessary to have someone teach you?

[AutumnMaidens]

Actual Reiki needs to be taught, magnitision can come natural to you and is sometimes confused for Reiki because many of the actions and feelings are the same. But when doing Reiki you will be taught different symbols to cleanse, heal, charge, summon etc and those can not be self taught. (can meaning, you could probably learn them by heart but would not be able master them as fully as when you were taught by a Reiki master.)

Reiki 1 is actually all about self healing.

Another thing about touching.. a reiki practitioner can beam reiki without touching the body. It is also possible to send distant healing.
