may the ability to preform Reiki be pasted down through genetics?Definitely not
is it a state of mind over matter?
Practitioners believe it minipulates universal energy, which is much different than mind over matter. That's in a literal sense, not symbolic. It was "discovered" by Dr. Mikao Usui. There's A LOT of speculation on whether it works, yet it is taught at many universities.
must you belive to actualy preform?
Yes. From what I hear, you don't have to believe to be treated, but if you don't believe, there's really no point in practicing something that you don't believe in, that's hipocrasy, like an atheist going to church. It would be even more pointless to waste years of your life on something you don't believe in. I am not a practitioner, and really, I don't know much about Reiki, just what I've got out of haging out on a martial arts forum for a couple years.
does anyone know anything about how to "self align chakras" because mine are all out of wack.
No idea, sorry.

thank you,do you have anymore ideas or information you'd like to share to me about reiki through your eyes?

Ok, here's something fromthis guy I know:
Getting Started
Reiki is safe and simple to use. To get started simply sit or lie down in a comfortable position. Put on the music of your choice and relax. Place your hands over your face with your palms over your eyes. Touch your tongue to the roof of your mouth with the tip of your tongue just behind your front teeth.

As you inhale just open up and feel the energy flow down through the top of your head and down to your heart chakra, then feel it flow out along your arms and out through your hands and into your face. At the simplest level that’s ALL you have to do. The energy will go wherever it’s needed and do whatever is required of it. You don’t have to send it anywhere in particular or try to control it.

Getting Deeper
Reiki flows through you simply by your ‘intent’. You just have to intend to open up to it and you’ll find it readily available. You may feel many different things while giving yourself a Reiki treatment. Your hands or the part of your body covered by your hands may get hot, cold or tingly. Some people feel it very easily and others take awhile to open up to it. The simplest explanation that I’ve found is to think of what the emotion ‘Love’ feels like, and then just relax and let it flow.

I always advise everyone to study Reiki. Any energy worker, massage therapist, healer, martial artist or metaphysician can greatly benefit from Reiki, and there are many FREE Reiki classes and sources of training available, as many of us try to make it as easily accessible as possible to anyone who wants it.
Reiki Energy Balance

Here’s a simple exercise that anyone can do, even if they haven’t been ‘attuned’ to Reiki. It requires a basic knowledge of channeling Reiki energy, the positions of the 7 primary chakras and a willingness to spend some time making someone else feel good. Everything else is optional.
For those who’ve never channeled Reiki or studied it, first take a moment and see my other article “Basic Reiki” for instructions on how to open up to and channel the energy.

Setting the tone
I like to create a nice atmosphere when doing Reiki. I usually light up some nice incense and for music I usually use Nik Tyndall’s “Reiki-Healing Hands” CD as it’s also designed to help open the heart chakra. I also like the internet radio station at http://www.mysticradio.com/

Getting Started
Just lie down in a comfortable position and put a pillow under your knees to help take the strain off your lower back.
Place one hand over your 3rd eye and the other over your 1st chakra. Now just relax and open up to the energy and let it flow down through the top of your head, through your heart chakra and out through your hands. Spent several minutes here, or until you feel like it’s time to change.
Next move one hand up to your 2nd Chakra and the other down to your Throat Chakra. Spend as much time as you need here, and then move one hand down to your Heart Chakra and the other up to your Solar Plexus Chakra. After you finish here then just switch your hands around to your chakras at random and continue tuning them up for as long as you desire.

Getting Deeper
These exercises can obviously be enhanced by using the Reiki Symbols and by having the Attunements, but neither is really necessary. Over time your body will attune itself if you keep running the energy.
These exercises can also be enhanced by regularly practicing ‘The 5 Tibetans’ exercises also, as they help tune and rejuvenate your chakras also.

There are so many things that can be done, both with Reiki and your Chakra System, and the point of this exercise is to help you balance your energy and feel better. It’s also about building up your own catalog of experience, as it’s pretty hard for any teacher to tell you what a certain exercise should feel like when you do it. I can tell you how it feels to ME when I do it, but it may feel differently to you when you do it yourself, so play with it and see how it feels.

There is a lot of speculation on this particular internal style, like I said. Also, I've heard a few arguments about whether an attunement is needed or not.

I don't believe the hype about it, but the one time I had it done to me, it was enjoyable. Maybe it was just being (sort of) touched by a woman.

My mother is a Reiki master. And she made me a Reiki master as well. We did this whole ceremony and stuff. We chanted and she read from scriptures and whatnot. It was quite a beautiful and spiritual experience. Now I have the hand lightening ability--you know... lightning balls from the hands... Senator Palpatine? Anyway, it's pretty cool. It comes in handy when the batteries in my mp3 player run out of juice.

Reiki, Qigong, Yoga, its all similar

Science has proven that stress levels directly correlate to sickness, its all a matter of time
