People who are interested in energy healing often ask me about the differences between Reiki and Tse Dup. This is an astute question. Both are forms of energy healing and I have respect for healers who specialize in Reiki. However, there are differences between the two and here is a brief explanation (along with an infographic).
While both practices focus on energy, Tse Dup is ancient and almost since its inception in ancient times in Tibet, has a specific focus to treat both emotional difficulties and physical ailments. Handed down very deliberately and with teachings protected by monks and practitioners, learning Tse Dup is a multi-year, very intense process involving specific rituals revolving around sacred teachings, mantra, and visualization.
Tse Dup is known for its depth of healing as it reaches deeply into multidimensional energetic and karmic layers. By attending to a person’s conflicts in their life force energy, a Tse Dup healer helps return missing aspects of life force energy to help reclaim vitality, clarity, and a renewed sense of meaning. Recognizing the complete person (mental and physical) must be treated for illnesses, Tse Dup has been used for centuries to treat these and many other ailments and diseases:
Originating in Japan in the early 1900s primarily through Mikao Usui, Reiki emphasizes “universal life energy”. Transmitted through the hands, the practice is emotional and soothing, and intends to activate self-healing and balance.
Reiki is quick to learn and involves up to 3 levels, learned in workshop formats over the course of weekends. Some practitioners spend more time in mentorship but the typical Reiki practitioner studies over the course of two workshops. Reiki is seen as a supportive experience.
Integrating the practice of Tse Dup is helping to treat the entire person. Chronic illness, traumatic experiences, and difficult medical situations like surgery and childbirth can leave deep impressions and sometimes wounds on a person. While such wounds are invisible, they are impactful and draining on a person’s life force. Tapping into an ancient healing practice like Tse Dup is becoming more and more common as people are appreciating the synergy of healing utilizing both modern Western and ancient Eastern medicines.
