Reiki
It is believed by experienced doctors that the heat which oozes out of the hand, on being applied to the sick, is highly salutary. It has often appeared, while I have been soothing my patients, as if there was a singular property in my hands to pull and draw away from the affected parts aches and diverse impurities, by laying my hand upon the place, and extending my fingers toward it. Thus, it is known to some of the learned that health may be implanted in the sick by certain estuaries, and by contact, as some diseases may be communicated from one to another. ~ HIPPOCRATES
The act of laying hands on the human or animal body to comfort and relieve pain is as old as instinct. When experiencing pain, the first thing most people do is to put their hands on it. When a child falls and scrapes her knee, she wants her mother to touch it (or kiss it) and make it better. A mother's instinct when a child is feverish or ill directs her to place her hands on the baby's forehead. Human touch conveys caring and love. When an animal is in pain, a dog or a cat's first instinct is to lick the pain area—for the same reasons that a person applies touch with his hands. This simple act is the basis for all touch healing techniques.
Another way to explain is perhaps by envisaging a free-flowing river. This beautiful river is like energy flowing easily down through the body. Occasionally a pebble, or even a rock, will fall into that river making the flow of the water a little difficult. These pebbles are human worries, fear, anger, and each pebble builds on top of the other. Soon there is only a trickle of water running in that once beautiful free flowing river. And so it is with energy in the human body. At this point physical pain may be experienced.
