Reiki is an ancient Japanese form of healing technique using light touch and hand positions. Rei, means higher power or universal life force and Ki means life energy. So the word Reiki means universal or spiritually-guided life force energy. Practiced for thousands of years throughout Japan, China and Tibet and other Asian nations, Reiki was rediscovered in the late 19th century by Dr. Mikao Usui, a Buddhist monk and educator who used the therapy to heal the sick. Reiki then came to the west in 1930s after Hawaya Takata learned the practice from Dr.Usui in Japan.
Today, Reiki is used as a method of healing illness and reducing stress through light touch or, more commonly by placing hands near the body in specific patterns. Through these positions, a Reiki practitioner can correct energetic imbalances in the body which in turn improves the health and restores the person's energy levels.
Everything that has life can be helped by Reiki – including animals and plants. Treatment will also benefit people of any age and condition. Reiki is extremely empowering, and when faced with a pain or crisis, it will assist you in overcoming feelings of helplessness and dependency.
How is Reiki Different?
Reiki is easy to learn and simple to use and you can practise it anywhere, anytime! Unlike other forms of healing, attunements are necessary to channel the Reiki energy. An attunement can be given only by a certified Reiki Master. Attunements are for a life time. Reiki will always be available to those who have received attunements, regardless of the frequency of usage. However, regular usage will enhance your ability and intuition.
A Reiki session feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing. Many have reported miraculous results.
Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. It has been effective in helping virtually every known illness and malady and always creates a beneficial effect. It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.
Reiki is NOT a religion and it has no dogma associated with it. There are beliefs that you need to create or give up in order to learn and practise Reiki. Whether you believe in it or not, it just works! Reiki is the abundant energy of the Universe and you are not passing your own energy to the person being healed. So there is no need to worry about getting tired or depleted of your own energies. How can it get any better than this?!
