I noticed an article in The Times of India (an Indiatimes digital publication) entitled “Mind set: Sense and sensibility” written by Rajiv Vij, which talked about the mind-body connection and its connection to Reiki and thought I would have a closer look at it here.

The article stated:

Reiki practitioners advocate that at the time of birth, our bodies are conducive to freer flow of the life-supporting, universal energy through them. However, as we grow up and experience negative emotions, they impact the natural energy flow. Repressed and stored emotions then create corresponding blocks that interfere with the body’s synchronized functioning. For example, Reiki masters believe that lack of trust and self-acceptance may result in heart problems. Rigidity in our outlook makes the body stiff and may cause joint pains, and feelings of insecurity about the future tend to lead to trouble with the lower-back, and so forth.

This really does not resemble any type of Reiki that I’m familiar with, and I think I’ve seen a few in my time. I like the idea and I agree with it for the most part, but it just isn’t any type of Reiki that I’m familiar with. The full article is located here. Anyone else have any thoughts on it? Any ideas on how its connected to Reiki?

For further explanation or discussion, your thoughts are most welcome and highly encouraged, please feel free to comment below!!!
