Reiki First Aid

Always remember, in the case of an accident or medical emergency a physician should always be called! Do not attempt to move an accident victim; call for a doctor first, and then use Reiki to help calm the injured person.

To reduce the effects of shock, lay one hand on the Solar Plexus, and one hand at the same height on the back.

To help calm a person, place one hand on the back of the head, (The Medulla Oblongata), and the other hand on the forehead, (Third Eye).

If it's not possible to touch the body, because of the nature of the injury or the position of the person, you can hold one or both of their hands, and the Reiki will flow.

Following are suggestions for Reiki First Aid.

Insect Bites: Give Reiki directly on the bite for 20-30 minutes. If possible to give Reiki immediately, it may keep the swelling down.

Burns: Apply Reiki just above, not touching the injured area, for 20-30 minutes; possibly at intervals. The pain may increase at first but will then subside. If Reiki is given immediately, blisters are less likely.

Fear: Hands on the Solar Plexus, adrenal glands,(kidneys) , and back of the head. You can also use the Second Degree Mental healing.

Wounds: Give Reiki above the wound. After the wound has been tended to, give Reiki through the bandage.

Bruises: Give Reiki immediately for 20-30 minutes, directly on the bruise.

Heart Attack: Immediately call a doctor. Then apply hands to the upper and lower belly, not directly to the heart.

Sprains: Apply Reiki to the sprained area for 30-60 minutes depending on the severity of the sprain. Repeat several times.

Toothache: Give Reiki to the whole jaw area several times a day, by cupping the jaw in your hands for 10-15 minutes at a time. You can also use the second head position, as this will treat the throat area as well, which can be affected by teeth problems.

Broken Bones: Broken bones should be set first by a doctor, then Reiki can be given directly to the cast. If you were to give Reiki to broken bones before they are set, there is a possibility that the bones would start to knit and would have to be re-broken. You can of course give Reiki to other areas in order to calm the person until they get to the hospital.

Headaches & Migraines: For headaches, start by giving Reiki to the part of the head where the pain is most severe. If the headache is suspected to be caused by tension in the back of the neck and shoulders, treat those areas as well. Migraines really should be addressed by full-body treatments, since they are a chronic condition. However, immediate relief can be given by directing Reiki to the Solar Plexus, temples and ears.
