a question on Ki healing

[insertname]

What would be the best method to advance a persons natural healing to heal sports injuries using ki?


My research has lead me to Rei Ki, a japanese art of healing using external ki from a persons surrounding environment, but nowhere did I find any information on healing a specific injury.  Rei Ki was always used for general well being.  

I also discovered a method of internal ki healing which was to use the mind to channel/focus your concentration on a particular point on your body and to guide your energy there through meditation to create a desired Effect, (where as in Rei Ki, one is not suppose to visualise a desired effect but hope the energy gained will help)

Is it appropriate to use Rei Ki to heal a particular injury, i.e. a broken arm, and how does it exactly  work?
OR
Is it more apropriate to use internal Ki in this situation?

And can you hurt yourself with Rei Ki if you dont fully understand the concepts?

I was recently trained in Reiki but by no means am I an "expert." From my understanding, you cannot hurt yourself or someone else if you practice reiki "incorrectly"  because you, the practitioner, aren't creating or performing ki on the body, you are just the conduit for ki. My master had a great metaphor: you are merely a hose that ki flows through. Also, ki is ki so we don't change the inherent nature of ki depending on our intentions (i.e., you can't use ki to hurt someone). Negative intentions merely cut off or restrict ki, they do not turn it into "negative offensive ki." Thus, reiki can never be misused because it always creates a so-called healing effect, but the extent to which that effect is created can fluctuate depending on the practitioner's intentions, skill, etc.

After a bit of research and help from a good teacher I discovered that the "Ki" that this website refers is simply the unification of mind to the body, which is different to my initial question of rei ki.  Rei ki falls under the catergory of the chinese concept of "Qi" (pronounced chi) which is quite ambiguos and covers a large field sub theories and concepts.

Ki in the sense of aikido refers to the movement of the body with out rigid motion, state of mind or state of "no mind", the concentration of the one point (aka dan tien, hara, base chakra) which is all part of the unification of the mind and body.  In my opinion, this catergory of Ki falls under one of the sub theories of or concepts of Qi. (In my experience i found it similar to the teachings of body chi used in Chinese martial arts).

If japanese Ki and chinese Qi is the be examined at a deeper level, I'm sure there will be plently of similaraties and possibly some differences.  But it seems as far as this websites concerned, Ki in aikido is about the flow and movement of ones mind and body.

Thankyou for your time, these are just my findings and are subject to criticism as I am still learning myself.

... Just thougth I might share a bit of what I learned in the past two years.
