As a follow up to yesterday’s post on Reiki & the Unconscious Mind, I would like to dig a little deeper into this connection by offering another way of connecting the two involving Reiki and Hypnosis.
What is Hypnosis?
There are many definitions of Hypnosis and many interpretations of those definitions. For our purposes I would like to use the definition of hypnosis as “A trance-like state in which a person becomes more aware and focused and is more open to suggestion.” Over the years Hypnosis has received somewhat of a tarnished reputation, as it’s use has certainly been abused, but the fact remains that when done correctly (and ethically) it is a valid healing modality and quite helpful in gaining access to our unconscious minds… for whatever reasons.
Reiki & Hypnosis
As pointed out yesterday, “When coupled with the power of the unconscious mind, Reiki is capable of some truly superhuman feats and the only thing stopping them from happening are our own beliefs.” Hypnosis is one possible way of coupling Reiki with the unlimited power of the unconscious mind. In dealing with some of the more serious diseases, like Cancer and HIV, limiting beliefs can make all the difference in the world as far as alleviation of pain and its underlying sources, so I am of the opinion that one should pursue all possible avenues when treating such ailments and not let one’s own beliefs (such as negative beliefs about hypnosis) prevent the desired outcome(s). Yes, Reiki has an intelligence of its own… and, yes, one should not endeavor to control the Reiki energies… but due to the fact that a complete understanding of Reiki is so elusive, one should not be taking any chances.
As is true with Reiki & Aromatherapy, Reiki & Reflexology, Reiki & EFT, Reiki & Qi Gong, Reiki & Acupuncture/Acupressure and Reiki & Massage, these healing arts all work fine on their own… but when joined with Reiki, the potential is multiplied exponentially.
For further explanation or discussion, your thoughts are most welcome and highly encouraged, please feel free to comment below!!!
