Reiki II - Ch 7. The Mind Body Link Explained

The most significant feature of the Second Degree Reiki practice is the ability of the channels to work on the Mind aspect in the Mind-Body link of all chronic ailments.
 

What all channels need to understand first and foremost is that the chronic (physical) diseases exist at the level of the mind MUCH BEFORE manifesting at the physical level.
 

These could be in the form of some damaging thought patterns OR/AND in the way the Human Being IS. To elaborate this further I will take the example of a person who is suffering from problems with his knees.
 

An inflexible personality is more often than not the cause for the person to have this situation manifest in later life to the extent that knee replacement surgery is inevitable.

The fact that the Mind and Body are linked becomes believable when the history of any family member/known associate is taken for any chronic ailment that the person is suffering from. Invariably the feedback would be that there were some discomforts/minor aches and pains that were observed for a number of years before the disease manifested at the physical level.

Someone with chronic pain in the knees, for example, will share that there was some tightness/discomfort/minor lingering pain that existed for some time during which the medical tests, X-rays etc. failed to reveal anything wrong with the physical body.
 

Oftentimes – and this is ironic – such patients were told that “It’s all in the mind. There is nothing wrong with the body”.
 

Indeed! If something was wrong with the body, it would show up in the battery of inconclusive tests that people are generally subjected to.
 

But if there is nothing wrong with the body, then where does the pain lie??? Of course, medical science does not have any answers, even today.

The reality is that All Diseases Exist in the Mind - that is linked to the Energy Body/System - before Manifesting at the Physical Level. The damaging thought patterns coupled with the way of being of the person somehow creates a kind of ‘blockage’ that obstructs the energy flow in the system thus creating the discomfort/pain etc.
 

Energy working of any kind helps alleviate the pains as the blockages are temporarily addressed.
 

The enlightened Reiki Channels who understand this will do well to:
 

A) Isolate the Damaging Thought Patterns that they might be living with.
B) Work on them before these patterns get a chance to Manifest the Disease on the Physical Level and,

C) Work on actively changing their way of being i.e. an inflexible person becoming more flexible in his dealing with life’s situations. (in the above example).
 

Working on the Mind is possible with the abilities of Distance Healing as Reiki healings help not only transform the damaging thought patterns easily but also help a person change his way of being.
 

This depth of healing was not possible at the First Degree Touch Healing level simply because ‘thoughts’ and ‘mind’ are not ‘visible’ and therefore can’t be touched. Distance Healing is the key for healing (or should we say) re-programming the thoughts that are associated with the ailments.
 

The benefits of Positive Thinking have been proven beyond doubt for a number of years now. Advocates of Positive Thinking recommend that appropriate positive thoughts be repeated in the mind several times a day – some suggesting up to a few hundred times – before the desired results start manifesting. This can normally be a daunting task for most but becomes easy with Reiki. We can easily incorporate the power of Positive Thinking along with the Distant Healing ability In the Second Degree Reiki practice.
 

For example, a thought like “Every day, and in every way, I am (or he/she is) getting better and better” when used along with the distance healing ability is known to create really amazing results.

Just insert this thought in the Step 4 of the Second Degree Distance Healing Technique as an Intention (please see Reiki II Ch – 3. of this manual). Do Reiki for 10 – 15 minutes on this intention every day and you may start noticing the results within seven to ten days.
 

The ‘Mind’ aspect of many diseases can be taken care of by doing Reiki with the appropriate Intentions of the new thought pattern to replace the negative thought pattern that initially created the disease. The Affirmations from Louise Hay’s book ‘Heal Your Body’ have been known to bring about wonderful results for many patients.

My experience, however, is that we need to use the ‘words’ that are part of our everyday vocabulary and mean something to us. Please understand that the ‘words’ too have energies associated with them. The ‘words’ will have the ability to transform our thoughts only if they ‘mean’ something personal to us.
 

Otherwise they will be just meaningless empty words. Affirmations phrased in words that we are familiar with have a better chance of succeeding. It is therefore better to create your own Affirmations.
 

A case in point is that although no one really knows how the human mind works, but no one can deny that we feel energised and lighter when we happen to be having positive thoughts spontaneously. And vice-versa!
 

So at some level the intentions/affirmations for a willing and ready mind will definitely help move things forward faster.
 

The User of the Intentions also Needs to Believe that these will work. If you are having Thoughts that create doubts (“Will it work? Am I wasting my time with all this?” etc.), then the vibrations of these thoughts will be stronger than the vibrations of the Positive Affirmations that you may be using. It just will not work.
 

In other words, if the Affirmations appear to be ‘Big Lies’ to you – then they just will not work. Know that all Affirmations are basically lies – it is only the Small Lies that are known to work. But remember that it is a step by step process for Big Lies to become Small Lies – happens with repeated practice.
 

Be aware that Positive Thinking is good but then “Too much of Positive Thinking can be Dangerous.”
