Explaining Reiki To Skeptics

Explaining Reiki to Skeptics can be a daunting task because Reiki, fundamentally, is something that is intangible . However...I hope with the points that I cover in this video not only will you be able to explain your Reiki practice to others...but further even the most ardent skeptics will understand what this thing called Reiki is...and perhaps they will even see that they have been practicing Reiki longer then they thought!

I hope you enjoy this video and that it helps your Reiki practice and the discussion of your Reiki practice to others!

🙏Be well and In Gassho to all🙏

Thanks for watching and I hope you've enjoyed my thoughts on Explaining Reiki To Skeptics!

Thank you so much for your video!!! I am just starting my Reiki practice and I am on the same page of just explaining it just from Reiki aspect (I still use all the tools I just don’t introduce them to the main stream of people because like you said it can turn others away!!). Again thank you!!

[hughjones]

My father used to say " just because you don't believe it does that mean it is not true?"

[karaokenglish]

Thank you. As a science teacher transitioning into reiki practitioner this helps greatly. ❤

[reikiscoop]

I really like to listen to how other Reiki practitioners tackle this challenge. I really like how you said that the more you reduce the story the better.

[magiegainey]

Thank you for this explanation. My niece is a Reiki master and has worked on me quite a bit over the years. It really helped me when I had cancer and having bad effects from the chemo, immunotherapy and steroids. I'm now in remission (for a year and a half) and I feel Reiki helped with that also.

My Geandmaster in martial arts is also considered a healer in Reiki. We sat down once and he told me that long ago Martial Artist were not called Martial artist, They were Scholars, Cooks, Doctors and Protectors. They dedicated themselves outside of their own selfish desires and became selfless and caring of others.

That really set a spark in my heart and when I asked about Reiki he said "I am not a Healer, I just help them heal properly."

I’m learning to understand and loved your first example. My take away is that reiki is a style of healing that allows you to freely find awareness. Navigating family emotional trauma and also as a runner who occasionally falls and gets hurt the “instincts” you first mentioned is a part of what helps me through some of it. On the other end, I’ve learned to know the kinds of pain or mental discomfort that i can push through. Maybe the skepticism with reiki is that most people especially in western culture have more experience with the style of healing by movement or action. Healing that isn’t as focused on finding awareness. I interpret reiki being on the complete opposite end because i see it as more of a kind of meditation. Which doesn’t seem like being popular yet in a fast paced western culture

[lindadickson]

I so agree with what you are saying about the other modalities like the new age stuff. I like to use reiki on horses because they are open to it if they need it. They are very responsive and release. I have had horses come to me in a field if they need it. I don’t get heat as much but I get a circling energy in the palm of my hands.

[ericarichardson]

I’ve been trying for years to really understand reiki but your explanation has made the most sense. It sounds almost like a mindfulness meditation that is led one of one by another person. Reinforcing attention to certain areas through physical or near physical touch. Thank you!

[amywind]

Your perception is so helpful! Thank you.😊

[HealingRootsCounselingCLE]

I'm so appreciative of the perfect examples of how instinctive Reiki is to EVERYONE! Thank you for sharing these golden nuggets. ✨

[kimberlygonzales]

Thank you so much, I am curently working towards my Masters Reiki accredations and found this to be super helpful!!!

[BridgetteBentley]

Easy to believe…when you consider quantum physics, energy, and the fact that we are all connected! Everything is made of baryonic material☺️, atoms moving..both particles and waves..even inanimate objects. Thanks for what you do, God bless!✨✨

[globalphenomenon]

The simplest way to understand reiki, is to look at its synonyms. Every time you read the word “Reiki, ” replace it with the word, love. That’s something we all understand. Love is universal the purest form of light. We all have it in our heart.

[staciamusleh]

As an intuitive healer and RMT, I have to concur. Everything you have said here is on point. I dress like a normal person and hold sessions in a very basic basic setting. Occasionally I will add a crystal if called for but beyond that I simply use soothing music, dim lightand take the client. Do a peaceful relaxing place so that they can receive what it is that they need.. Thank you for sharing.
The general public need more awareness so that their fears can be Set aside.
And they can open to alternative ways of healing their own bodies.

[jackraves]

🙏 thnx for your explanation ☺️ About twelve years back I participated in Reiki, received a first attunement, but left the Reiki path, when I got in touch with Quantum Touch, another healing modality. No symbols whatsoever, all about our just loving intention, a simple breating technique . Being a Dutchman (86) I have difficulties using those symbols .. 🙏

[ianrobinsonreikizen]

This is such a great explanation! When I work with my clients it’s all about the touch and holding that space. Wonderful messages 🙏

[jrccandleco]

Great explanation!! I’m level 2 Reiki practitioner. It’s never easy to explain how it works. Skepticism can be a wall for some people

[_HeARTSconnection]

This makes so much sense. I've been intuitively placing my hand on my heart at night.

I did it last night and I had both sweet dreams and beautiful nightmares.

I'm going to my first group reiki healing session tonight. I'm ready for this healing! 💚

[airdogaron]

I don't know how badly you've sprained your ankle but when I did really badly, I wasn't breathing slowly(either holding my breath and groaning or breathing really quickly), my heart was pounding(I could feel it in the swelling in my ankle), and I didn't want to touch it. I also have yet to see someone actually touch the broken part of the bone they just broke, maybe near it but not on it. So that right there does make it actually arguable. Along with the fact that your body goes through physiological changes (hormone release, etc.) that take place when you're in a deep sleep state. You also still heal while you're awake, healing doesn't stop after you sleep. Ultimately, the skepticism comes from the fact that the "energy" that you're talking about and manipulating isn't objectively detectable or quantifiable. I'm fine with Reiki being something that heals through the fact that, as humans, we like a caring touch and it's relaxing, also receiving personal attention from another is calming and soothing. If it was just that, like a different kind of "massage", it would have utility, no additional supernatural explanation needed.
