When a child has a stomach ache, the mother places her hand on the child's stomach and massages it with natural movements along the painful area. The mother's eagerness to help her child invokes healing energy, which is transmitted to the child through her hands, and the child feels his stomach get warmer and less painful.
This is healing hands and Reiki.
Energy healing did not come from Japan. We have had healing hands since ancient times. Reiki was systematically taught and commercialized by a man named Mikao Usui. Many people who learn Reiki emphasize lineage. This is because they believe that the shorter the lineage, the more valuable the product. However, the value of Reiki does not depend on lineage but on the mindset of the healer and the recipient.
In other words, the core of Reiki is the sincere heart of the mother and the faith of the child.
What is essential for someone who wants to become a Reiki Master is sincerity, not fancy techniques. If you are sincere with others, they will be able to trust you.
