How to Use Reiki and Aromatherapy For Healing the Mind, Body & Spirit
The healing benefits of Reiki and Aromatherapy pure essential oils combined are well known and respected world wide. Reiki is an ancient form of hand on healing using only energy and the palm of your hands. Aromatherapy pure essential oils are extracted from herbs, flowers, trees, and plants that have outstanding healing properties. When combined together the healing properties can be extremely beneficial and heal on all levels – physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.Reiki energy is of supreme intelligence and knows intuitively where energy is needed to heal the body. All that is required for Reiki to be successful is to place your hand on the recipient and request the energy to come forth for the highest good of all.Reiki and Aromatherapy are both forms of pure vibrational energy healing, which have powerful healing properties and have been used for centuries – long before traditional medicine was available.The oils may be mixed with oils or cream and place on different areas of the body or burnt in an oil burner. When burning pure essential oils always follow correct procedures for using oils and do not over use, 1-3 drops in a burner is sufficient.As an aroma therapist I do not recommend people place any pure essential oil directly on the skin unless you are qualified, as severe reaction or intolerance may occur.When using oils always ask the recipient if they have any dislike, allergy or sensitivity to the oils you may wish to use, prior to commencing a healing.If you are not familiar with essential oils I recommend you read information about the oils you intend to use, especially the contra-indications prior to use.I personally find the oil burner the safest method of using pure essential oils although candles, pillows and oils and creams are very popular alsoPure essential oils most beneficial when performing Reiki.1.
