AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I want to know whether practices like Reiki can help in the healing of the Vital? Like if the person has excess tamas, anxiety or extremely sensitive? Secondly, how do these practices help in once Spiritual Journey? 🤔🌀🌻🍃

Reiki, pranic healing, if done properly, can be helpful temporarily by opening the subtle channels for the flow of prana. If the organ is sick due to the poor flow of pranic currents, then it may temporarily help. But the causes of illness are an inner disharmony, an imbalance that is deeper than the vital body.  Hence, Reiki is usually not enough unless the problem is of a minor nature. Besides, it can itself create other imbalances and the therapist may end up unwittingly taking in some of the contents of the patient’s consciousness due to close vital interchange. Hence, for those pursuing a true spiritual life, it is not something that can be freely recommended. 

The better way to heal these things is by opening oneself to the higher consciousness beyond the mind by concentrating on the Divine Presence above the head and calling in Peace, Light, etc., with or without the help of an imagery. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da
