Understanding that there are two basic types of Reiki will help you to make a decision as to which is the best one for you. The main difference between the two forms Reiki healing treatment is on what they highlight with respect to the procedures used to cure illness and promote health; energy transfer is the Eastern method while use of pressure points is typical of the Western approach.

Eastern Reiki

Healing through Eastern Reiki is done by transporting the healer’s energy to the body of the patient through the pressure points. In carrying out this form of Reiki treatment the abdomen is the part of the body that gets most attention throughout the healing.

Not only the physical illness is being healed in this traditional Reiki way but it aims to touch the whole being including the psyche and mental parts of the person.The healer must believe in the process and through this positive energy he or she will transfer healing power to the patient. This mode of Reiki upholds the idea that the palms channels out healing power from one person to another based upon the ancient Japanese belief. 

Western Reiki

Unlike the traditional laying of palms over the body, Western Reiki makes use of lots of massage and also pressure applications. use opf pressure points is necessary to keep the circulation of the body free flowing which enhances self-healing. Muscles tend to relax after the therapist has worked on the pressure points and furthermore it helps the body to easily dispose toxins allowing it to heal on its own.
 
The western version tends not to use crystals as in the ancient form but it also believes in the transferring of energy to heal someone.The warmth of the hands, when combined with the right pressure and massage, is considered to encourage healing of the body.

The importance of the mental and emotional health

Both types of Reiki promote the importance of the mental and emotional health of the person so that her physical illnesses can be healed. If a person is experiencing constant fatigue and anxiety, the body will react by producing hormones that jeopardise healing.

Healing using the methods of Reiki is not simply confined to a therapy session. These methods enable the person being treated to become well-versed on stress handling, open mindedness, and keeping up positivity.  These benefits they can bring to all corners of their life according to their needs.
