Alef Reiki
 
Alef Reiki is an ancient Healing Modality Based on Hebrew Alphabet and Kabbalah.
Alef Reiki Treats the whole person: body, Mind and Spirit.
Alef Reiki spiritual and subtle energy promotes:

* Healing the causes of the illness.
* Healing in conjunction with any other therapeutic methods.
* Healing and recovery from grave illness.
* Healing Injury and disorder.
* Healing cases of genetic defects.
* Stress response reduction.
* Mental emotional stability.
* Renewal of well being.
* Self actualization, and spiritual upliftment.
* Comfort and resilience during stressful and taxing medical
procedures.
* Relief of suffering and anxiousness for clients with chronic
disorders and or terminal prognoses.

Alef Reiki Practice is holistic.

It incorporates four perspectives (1) subtle energetic, (2) deep spiritual / meta spiritual, (3) mental emotional, and (4) physical. While the Practitioner therefore draws on techniques and knowledge from various branches of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), integrative medicine, psychology, and spirituality, Alef Reiki emphasis is on subtle energy healing.

Is Alef Reiki a Religion?

While Alef Reiki is spiritual in nature, it is not a religion. It has no dogma, and there is nothing you must believe in order for it to work.

Because Alef Reiki comes from God, many people find that using it puts them more in touch with the experience of their religion rather than having only an intellectual concept of it.

Alef Reiki Practice aim is to provide support, rather than render quick miracle cures.

Nevertheless, many clients supported by this powerful therapy have experienced complete healing, remissions of illnesses, and profound self actualization's. For some of these clients such developments occurred quickly, sometimes startlingly so. However, for most of them gradual development of well being was involved, unfolding both during and following their courses of regularly recurring therapy sessions. Still other clients, although not having found the cures for which they had hoped, have found significant relief from suffering and greater peace of mind.

Alef Reiki Founder Eli Machani urges clients to keep up their relationships with their physicians, their licensed/certified practitioners of complementary and alternative medicine, and any counselors or psychotherapists whom they may have been seeing. Eli Machani believes that the treatment and guidance of these professionals should be continued while his subtle energy therapy is providing support for healing and well-being. However, Eli Machani does not discourage clients from seeking second opinions or seeking new practitioners in whom they can feel confident. (Although he must require, as a precondition of his therapy, that his clients don’t stop their physicians’ care, he sympathizes with clients who must make “heroic efforts” to obtain full communication and attention from their physicians, or to goad them into becoming up to date on medical research.)

Patients referred by Doctors to Eli Machani receive support that can promote their responding optimally to their medical treatment. Bolstered by Eli Machani complementary therapy, many clients have undergone stressful medical procedures such as chemotherapy, surgery, radiation, and certain medication programs with surprising degrees of comfort and resiliency, experiencing less than the expected amounts of side effects.

When referred to Eli Machani, psychotherapists’ clients and psychiatrists’ patients often begin to progress more easily through the integration and growth processes that their counselors are guiding. Some clients supported by this work have arrived at a point where their medications can be reduced or discontinued under their physicians’ direction.

Alef Reiki therapy also benefits clients who are already in excellent health.

It provides subtle-energy support for clients who are pursuing excellence, meeting large challenges, or dealing with stress. This category of healthy clients has included excelling athletes and high-achieving professionals, executives, and entrepreneurs. It has also included autistic, developmentally challenged, and learning-challenged clients! Many healthy adults and children living with long term limitations such as from birth defects, toxin exposure, physical injuries, or surgery have enjoyed physical and mental well being maximized by Alef Reiki practice.

These healthy clients have felt more at ease, centered, and mindful following their therapy sessions. In such harmonious states, life energies are better conserved, less dispersed or exhausted, so that they can be expressed as high vitality, physical stamina, mental resourcefulness, sharper perception, and emotional stability.

What to expect in a session:

An initial standard (as opposed to special ) therapy session begins with 20 to 30 minutes of dialogue (10 to 20 for children) and continues with 40 to 60 minutes of energy work (15 to 30 for infants and children). When a session is held, the energy work is conducted with the client lying on a cushioned table client’s bodily condition permitting. The client is dressed comfortably in everyday clothes, minus shoes and any bulky belt. Provision of a nursing assistant or other aide, if needed for safe movement, is the client’s responsibility. Therapist’s hands may contact the client during half of the energy work (with no procedures being likely to offend any client’s modesty).

During the remaining energy work, Practitioner's hands may be positioned as far as five feet away from the client’s body as he works with the subtle energy field surrounding it. Relaxing background music and simple oral spiritual phrases or prayers are often used for invoking healing and creating an atmosphere conducive to healing. When the standard session is a non local, distant healing session, the distant client relaxes on a bed or chair for the energy work after dialoguing with Practitioner by phone.

Clients may experience sensations the same sensations or similar, as are commonly experienced with today’s popular energy healing systems including Therapeutic Touch, Healing Touch, Touch for Health, Quantum Touch, Polarity Therapy, Johrei, Reiki, Huna Healing, LaHo Chi, Bio Energy Therapy, The Reconnection™ / Reconnective Healing™ , Pranic Healing, Jin Shin Jyutsu, external Qigong, acupuncture, and acupressure/shiatsu but often these sensations will be felt more strongly with Alef Reiki therapy.

During any given session, a client may (but need not) experience in parts or all of the body, apparent temperature changes, “buzzing” and tingling, and/or subtle sensations occasionally described as "like magnetic fields must feel". The most common experience is a refreshing sense of serenity and relaxation, and dozing sometimes occurs. Nevertheless, emotions associated with long buried painful experiences and issues may arise as part of natural processes of self healing and clearing. (Any of these experiences may also occur for a client during one of Alef Reiki Practitioner’s morning or evening energy transmission/prayer periods, during which the Practitioner focuses on the many persons on his/her prayer list.)

Alef Reiki practices techniques of Eli Machani own design.

Some of his techniques are similar to procedures used in the energy healing systems enumerated above, although Eli Machani fundamental approach differs from the basic approaches of them all. He works with the deep subtle energies that underlie physical and mental form and function. These energies include the meridian energies, with which acupuncturists and Touch for Health therapists work, and the etheric aura energies surrounding the body, with which Healing Touch and Therapeutic Touch practitioners may work. They also include the body’s chakras center energies, addressed by many energy healing schools.

Even while Alef Reiki does do work with all of the above energies,
Alef Reiki emphasizes working with even-deeper, subtler energies. Practitioner feels that at these more rarefied levels of energy, this work naturally merges with or incorporates prayer, the deepest energy healing being purely spiritual healing. Thus, although this therapy is primarily considered energy healing work it is also akin to purely spiritual healing systems, including the Kabbalah and Hebrew alphabet.

Alef Reiki approach does not emphasize narrowed focus,thus differing from the approaches of many energy-healing schools. Alef Reiki does not primarily focus on, or target, the congestion's and the depletion's that may appear in clients’ energy meridians or in their etheric aura fields. Nor does it narrowly target any reversed polarities or closed energy chakras. He views all of these subtle energy field phenomena as symptoms that are correctly expressing, or faithfully reflecting, deeper aspects of the client deeper “disharmonies”, from a pragmatic view. it does not concentrate on "fixing" them, be it by reversing, boosting, opening, balancing, or otherwise altering them. Indeed, it greatly minimizes the using of such relatively invasive and manipulative procedures.
Instead, Alef Reiki Practitioner gently helps each client re access and re entrain with very high vibrational subtle energy,

the most fundamental and deep life essence energy within. This in turn, supports and promotes the innate tendency of the client's subtle energy field to spontaneously return to harmony, balance, and abundance. The field unfolds organically at its most natural pace, re harmonizing in a natural sequence of steps. Healthier physical forms and functions may then "coalesce around” the re harmonized energy body “template”. Also promoted by the raised vibrational state, is the client’s innate drive and ability to transform distressing mental/emotional patterns via experiencing them fully, mindfully, and without resistance or dramatic overindulgence.

Broken bones, sprained ankles, burned or bruised organs, tissues recovering from surgical repair…

These are some of the conditions shown over the last ten years to be responsive to subtle energy healing work, whether performed by nurses, healers, or even by lay beginners. Any new graduate of a weekend introductory course in any of the popular energy healing systems is likely to see some good results for his/her efforts when practicing on friends. Such results commonly include acceleration of natural healing and calming of stress responses.

Alef Reiki,s ultra deep, high-vibrational work can provide similar, but sometimes far more powerful support, often serving as the resource of last resort in severe cases or in cases calling for the ending of clients’ cycles of repetitive calamities. (Some of Eli Machani clients have even shed disorders as serious as cancerous tumors, systemic dysfunction's, severe depression, and effects of toxic contamination and birth defects.)
