What People Think Reiki Is… And What It Truly Is
“I do not heal you. I simply sit beside your field, be the channel of light you forgot, and wait as it remembers.”
When I first stumbled into Reiki, I believed that I was learning a healing technique.
Hand positions.
Symbols.
Downloads of Sacred words and symbols as I progressed.
But over the years, after having done many client sessions I understood that Reiki is not a method. It is a frequency of remembering. Remembering your forgotten self. Connecting with your self.
Most of the people come for Reiki thinking it’s a form of energetic massage.
And yes, in the beginning, it surely feels like that.
You lie down, a practitioner places hands near or on your body, and you feel warmth. Tingling. Calmness. A floating sensation.
But the more you receive, the more you return—to a part of yourself that never left you, a part of you that you forgot in this 3D world.
The real power of Reiki isn’t pain relief. It’s identity realignment.
How Reiki Works: The Science and the Soul
Let me share with you a situation, Imagine a stream flowing through a forest. Now imagine a fallen tree blocking it. The water pools, stagnates, and breeds imbalance. Hence Reiki acts like a beam of light that gently dissolves the tree—not by force, but by raising the vibration so high that the block transforms into flow.
When a Reiki practitioner places their hands on or near the body, they channel universal life force energy into the recipient’s energy field. This energy knows where to go. It bypasses logic. It speaks directly to the cells, the soul, and the subconscious. It gently awakens the body’s natural ability to heal.
Unlike medicines that target symptoms, Reiki communicates with the root cause—which is often energetic, emotional, or karmic.
The Forgotten Truth: Illness Is Not an Error. It’s an Invitation.
One of the greatest impression, misapprehension or may be an illusion we hold is this that “Something is wrong with me.”
In 5D consciousness, there is no “wrong.” There is only energy in motion, and energy in distortion.
From this higher plane, every ailment—be it physical, mental, or emotional—is a portal. A messeng. A doorway that invites you to recalibrate into truth.
In today’s time people mostly treat illness reactively.
First we wait for symptoms, then numb them with medication.
Reiki, however, works proactively and multi-dimensionally. It meets the root frequency where the distortion first began—not just in this life, but across timelines.
That’s why true Reiki isn’t done.
It is channeled through presence. It is remembering how to vibrate as your soul did before the distortion began.
The Science of Frequency: Why Reiki Works in the 5D Field
Let’s elucidate Reiki with quantum principles.
Everything is frequency. Your body, emotions, thoughts, everything has a resonance. Illness is simply a frequency that is incoherent with your soul’s blueprint.
So does Reiki fix it?
No . It doesn’t “fix” it, it attunes it. Just as a tuning fork placed beside another begins to vibrate in harmony, Reiki brings incoherent energy into resonance with Source.
But here’s the part that separates surface-level Reiki from master-level healing:
Reiki isn’t about directing energy. It’s about becoming such a pure channel that the field reorganizes itself simply by your state of being.
The practitioner is not a “doer” but a hologram of divine memory. The cleaner your channel, the more the client remembers how to heal themselves.
The Role of Consciousness in Healing
Let me tell you a truth which not many will shall share with you.
You cannot heal what you still identify with.
This is why Reiki works where other modalities don’t. It speaks not to the conscious mind, but to the soul’s operating system.
- You may know you’re tired of depression.
- But if your energy field still vibrates with a belief that “this is just who I am,” you’re looped.
Reiki bypasses the intellect and speaks in the language of vibration. It tells the cells that
“There is another way to exist. Do you remember?”
The 5 Most Common Global Ailments—Decoded from a 5D View
Let’s now go deeper into the most widespread conditions and understand them not just as diagnoses, but as energetic messages from the soul. These interpretations are not from textbooks—they come from decades of intuitive observations and with a mix of Akashic work.
- Anxiety, Depression & Burnout: The Fragmented Self
Energetic Origin: Disconnection from the present moment. Over-identification with the mental body. Fear of stillness.
Insight: Many people carry ancient records of being punished, ostracized, or persecuted for their truth. Their current nervous system is still trying to “outrun” those past-life threats.
Reiki’s Role:
- Activates the heart-brain coherence needed to shift from fear to trust
- Regulates vagus nerve activity
- Anchors the soul fully into the body (many are partially dissociated)
- Helps dissolve mental overprocessing by reinforcing spiritual trust
- Autoimmune Disorders: The Misplaced Warrior
Energetic Origin: The body turning on itself when the soul’s truth is chronically suppressed. Often tied to internalized rage, unworthiness, or ancestral sacrifice patterns.
Insight: Soul contracts involving martyrdom or “healing the family line through suffering” are often seen in these records.
Reiki’s Role:
- Harmonizes the immune field with the soul field
- Gently releases karmic identities of victimhood and self-abandonment
- Restores sacred sovereignty in the third chakra (power center)
- Heart Disease & Hypertension: The Collapsed Heart
Energetic Origin: Love withheld. Grief stored. Over-responsibility and unspoken sadness. Trying to be everything for everyone.
Insight: Often seen in souls who took oaths to “never love again” after tragic soulmate losses in past lifetimes. These vows bind the heart.
Reiki’s Role:
- Clears the heart field from cords, grief loops, and vows
- Reopens the heart to receive, not just give
- Invites divine masculine-feminine rebalance, so doing becomes receiving
- Digestive Issues (IBS, Bloating, Ulcers): The Unprocessed Self
Energetic Origin: Trying to digest a life that feels unsafe or out of alignment. Deep fear of surrender.
Insight: Many with digestive issues have parallel lives where they starved, poisoned, or over-controlled their environments. The gut remembers.
Reiki’s Role:
- Balances solar plexus and sacral centers (personal power & trust)
- Helps integrate repressed emotions without analysis
- Teaches the body to release control safely
- Cancer: The Density of Unspoken Truth
Energetic Origin: Crystallized trauma. A life force that has been diverted from its organic expression for too long.
Insight: Cancer is often seen in old souls who have spent lifetimes silencing their deepest gifts or truth. Their cells revolt—not to punish, but to awaken.
Reiki’s Role:
- Offers a neutral, non-invasive support system during medical treatment
- Works with the soul’s choice—whether that’s healing or crossing over
- Restores meaning, which itself can shift cellular behavior
A True Story (Real Name Changed)
When Meera, a 43-year-old woman, first came for a session, she didn’t say much. Her body said it all—tight shoulders, shallow breath, and a deep exhaustion that went far beyond tiredness. Her thyroid was out of balance. Her voice had grown hoarse over the years. But the loudest part of her? Was silent.
The first time I placed my hands near her throat and heart, I felt resistance. Like a door rusted shut. But I did nothing. I simply held the frequency. Within minutes, her body began to tremble—not from fear, but from remembering.
Tears slipped from the corners of her eyes. She didn’t know why. But her field did. As we began to clear the blocked throat chakra. She sobbed quietly the first few sessions, though she didn’t know why. Her body remembered things her mind had forgotten.
Her body had stored decades of unshed grief and unspoken truth. Reiki didn’t force it out. It simply created a space where the truth could rise, like steam from still water.
After a couple of sessions, her voice softened. The tightness dissolved. She began to hum quietly without realizing it. Then, one day, she sang. Not because I asked. Not because she was healed. But because her soul was no longer afraid to take up space in her body.
This is what Reiki does—it doesn’t just soothe symptoms. It gently walks you home to the version of yourself that always knew how to sing.
She wasn’t looking for a miracle. She just wanted to feel herself again.
What the Top 1% Know About Healing
Here is what I would tell a new student, or a seasoned master
Healing is not about fixing what’s broken. Reiki is not about healing. Reiki is about returning to divine coherence.
In the world of fast fixes and temporary solutions, Reiki asks for something radical.
Stillness. Trust. Presence.
Most people think Reiki is about healing others.
Some believe it’s about channeling energy.
A few begin to realize it’s about restoring harmony to the system.
It doesn’t promise overnight miracles. It doesn’t override your body’s wisdom. What it offers is sacred neutrality, a space where your nervous system can soften, your heart can breathe, and your spirit can land to soar.
The truth is, one is were never broken. We only hold patterns that are’nt ours to carry. Reiki doesn’t strip them away—it invites them to dissolve when we are ready, with grace.
To receive Reiki is to be held in a way most of us have never known—without judgment, agenda, or force. It is to be seen in your wholeness before you can even believe it.
And somewhere in that stillness, a shift happens—not because energy was “sent,” but because your soul finally had the safety to return.
The real healer is the version of you who already exists in the 5D field.
Our job is not to build her—but to make space for her to come home.
It’s not a therapy.
It’s not a practice.
It is a sacred remembering.
The top 1%—those who’ve understood timelines, and tears—understand that Reiki doesn’t do. It undoes.
It unwinds the false identities.
It softens the hardened timelines.
It gently reminds the body of what it was before fear rewired the field.
The Reiki master does not “perform” Reiki. They become a still, clear mirror that your system reorganizes itself simply in their presence.
They know:
- Illness is not an enemy; it’s a message encrypted in density.
- Pain is not punishment; it’s a sacred compression of truth.
- Trauma is not damage; it is a portal that awaits permission to dissolve.
Where the 3D approach demands results and outcomes, the 5D healer holds space for the organic intelligence of the soul to awaken in its own rhythm.
They don’t “treat” the liver, the back, the gut.
They listen to the field.
They feel the note that is out of tune.
They become the tuning fork of Source… and wait.
The body, after all, is not broken.
It is broadcasting a frequency.
And Reiki, when wielded from love without distortion, simply plays the original note underneath the noise.
The true secret is You do not direct Reiki. You entrain the field by becoming a vessel so attuned to peace, presence, and unconditional love that everything not in resonance with it falls away naturally.
This is not healing through willpower.
This is healing through remembrance.
In 5D, the healer knows:
- The body heals when it feels safe.
The soul heals when it is seen.
The system heals when it is not controlled but invited into alignment.
This is why the highest Reiki masters rarely “do” much in sessions. Their presence is the medicine. Their field has become such a coherent, crystalline resonance that the person lying on the table doesn’t just feel better…
They begin to remember who they are.
That’s the real healing.
Would You Like To Learn This Way of Healing?
You don’t have to understand Reiki for it to work. You only have to be willing.
Start by placing your hands gently on your heart and breathing. That’s Reiki. That’s remembrance. Whether you choose to receive a session, become attuned, or simply live more consciously, know this that You already carry the light. Reiki just reminds you where the switch is.
When you’re ready—not to be fixed, but to be found—Reiki will meet you.
Not with answers. But with peace. If you’d like, I can help you create a 5D Reiki and Akashic Practitioner path. Just say the word.
With light in my palms and truth in my heart,
—The Light Between the Hands
