Reiki’s healing energy

Sangeeta Mittal.


No object in world is eternal. We read, we know, we understand, but how many of us believe this simple truth, that nothing and everything that exits in the cosmos are present in space but in different forms? Space, the God-force is one dimension which holds our past, present, and future. Everything is in place.


In the universe there are many galaxies - we are also in one of them, the Milky Way - made up of energy in the form of matter consisting of vibrating atoms, electrons, protons, subatomic particles and then the space between the atoms, which is emptiness. The energy which vibrates and pulsates between the emptiness at different frequencies is the God-force which comes directly from the cosmos to give them different structures.


We may seem like a solid body made up of cells, molecules and atoms. All these are, however, components in emptiness. Space, the emptiness between the atoms is bridged by energy which is flowing all over the body through 72,000 channels and throughout the universe. As blood flows through nerves, energy flows through nadis, channels, and the meridians. Energy is called variously as the God-force, kundalini, shakti or reiki, the vibrational energy.


Intellectually, it is difficult to study empty space, the field of kundalini shakti flowing between the atoms in the body, so to speak. However if we are able to withdraw our five senses from the outer world and train our minds to undertake a different kind of experience, we can journey inside, following the inner radar of the five koshas. The five koshas are annamaya or food sheath, pranamaya or vital sheath, manomaya or mental sheath, vijnanmaya or intellect sheath and anandmaya kosha or bliss sheath.


Anything which we see through our physical eyes or inner eyes begins with a thought; it may be a seed thought put into action. Thoughts are constructed by pure consciousness which exists between the nothingness of space. Why is it difficult to see objects in reality which we construct through our thoughts? Our thoughts are subatomic energy and they turn inward. They look back and keep changing and reconstructing themselves to form new shapes all the time with the perception of our five sense. This way, the subtlest energy in nature manifests what we actually wish. We have to invoke awareness of our own self to know the purity and solidity of that seed thought by reading the map to journey inward towards the self.


An enlightened person undertakes a journey that takes him towards the Self. Through meditation one can raise the vibrations of consciousness. This is followed by outer activity, living in the material physical world. Even 20 minutes of giving Reiki or God-force energy to your self will raise and vibrate your energy level and establish inner silence that may see you through more than 12 hours of activity. To maintain the purity of vibrations don’t allow it to fade; get recharged practicing regularly energy healing the Reiki way.


As you continue through months of following this practice you will overcome the trappings of the external world that threaten to overshadow your pure consciousness. You would then be able to reach the highest state of consciousness that is known as the sat chit ananda. Once you get there, you can truly enjoy the bliss.
