The
Spirit:
It
is through the quieting the mind, an ancient practice of the
east, that the 7th chakra is opened, connecting
us with our divine spiritual energy, while the energy that flows
through the 6 chakras of the body can be opened through a series
of exercises or facilitated through a skilled practitioner of
eastern techniques.
Reiki (From Wikipedia, the
free encyclopedia).
Reiki is performed
through a technique similar to the "laying on of hands."
Reiki is a spiritual healing technique proposed for the treatment
of physical, emotional, spiritual or mental disease. It has no
scientific basis. Reiki was developed during the early 20th century
by Mikao Usui in Japan. Practitioners use a technique similar
to the laying on of hands in which they claim that they act as
channels for Reiki energy which they say flows through
their palms to specific parts of the body in order to facilitate
healing. Most of the explanations of the technical aspects of
Reiki rely upon the existence of "subtle energies"
and "auras."... The name Reiki comes from the Japanese
pronunciation of two Chinese characters that are said to describe
the energy itself: ' rei' (meaning 'soul', 'spirit' or 'ghost')
and ki (meaning 'life force energy' in this context). Common
translations of the term reiki are "aura" and also
"soul energy..." While Reiki is comparatively rare
in Japan today, it flourishes in the West and has gained a small
following worldwide. Many scientists, health care workers and
others dispute the effectiveness of Reiki, because studies have
shown that it does not facilitate healing beyond that expected
from the placebo effect. However, other double blind studies
have shown statistically significant positive results ...
The spirit or energy, activated or manipulated
through the ancient practices of the east, while
evoking a mind-body response that can bring healing to the mind
and body, cannot complete the healing of the soul.
This is achieved
through the application of God's word; through
an ancient instruction encoded in the biblical text some 3500
years ago. It is through the application of the word that we
perfect the spirit.
The Word:
It
is through the word of God; through the application of the ancient
instruction contained in the ancient sacred text of the west
that we receive the "light" needed to
complete our transformation process... a process (that while
incorporating the mind-body disciplines of the east) deviates
with respect to the method of meditation, evoking a more powerful
heart-mind-body response, allowing for a complete transformation.
When we combine
the works of the spirit with the works of
the word we regenerate the divine spiritual power that
heals the soul, freeing the heart, mind, and body of their negative
and destructive energy, healing ourselves of our mental, emotional,
and physical diseases. This is the salvation of the soul, which
comes through "christ," the culmination
of God's spirit and God's word.
