  Use Of Breathing Techniques In Reiki
  

  Use Of Breathing Techniques In Reiki
  by Richard Johnson - Repost by Illumination
  
  In Reiki, breathing techniques and methods are one of the devices used
  to help with a change of energy flow and healing. Learning the
  breathing techniques in Reiki is one of the first steps in knowing how
  to use the energy change process for healing. Reiki utilizes what they
  call deep breathing techniques. These techniques allow you to become
  more conscious of the chakras that are being accessed to promote
  healing. It also allows you to more easily tap into the universal
  energies.
  
  The first type of breathing to utilize when practicing Reiki breathing
  is the short breath. This is how most people regularly breathe. It
  consists of breathing through the nose and feeling the upper part of
  the lungs before exhaling. You will want to recognize the inhaling as
  universal energy and exhaling as a release of negative energies. The
  second step in breathing is filling your lower body in the location of
  the stomach and diaphragm. When inhaling, you should notice your belly
  expanding. When you exhale, your stomach should shrink. This filling of
  your body in this way is considered to be a full breath that is often
  used in meditation. The third breathing technique includes picturing
  that you are filling your rib cage with air. This constitutes a
  complete full breath. When you are breathing completely, you should be
  filling first your lungs, then your diaphragm, and then allowing the
  breath to expand into your ribs. This will slow you down in order to
  allow you to call the universal energies with the help of deep
  breathing.
  
  One aspect of the breathing technique in Reiki is imagining these
  breaths in relation to light. When inhaling, you should imagine a light
  filling your different chakras through the breath. With your mind and
  thoughts, you can move the light into any desirable area.This will help
  you start circulation of the various energies that have previously been
  blocked. Many people use these breathing techniques not only in Reiki,
  but also during various types of meditation. When concentrating on the
  breath, one is able to become in a more relaxed state. There will also
  be a change in one's level of consciousness. In doing this, they will
  permit the universal energies to begin flowing through them, while
  using the Reiki technique.
  
  The Reiki breathing techniques are most effective when practiced
  consistently and in a disciplined manner. When practicing Reiki outside
  of a group session or in the absence of a practitioner, the breath is
  the first step to enable a person to use Reiki techniques in healing.
  Knowing proper breathing techniques can greatly help to make the
  remainder of the Reiki process more fulfilling. Deep breathing is also
  good for you and beneficial for your mental state when practiced on a
  consistent basis. It encourages you to relax and remain in a healed
  state of mind, as well as balancing your body by utilizing your breath.
