WHAT IS REIKI?

Reiki is a form of hands-on and hands-off healing. Reiki is not affiliated with any particular religion or religious practice. It was rediscovered by a Japanese Scholar named Dr. Mikao Usui.

Reiki is a two-syllable Japanese word meaning universal life force. Although the proper Japanese pronunciation is RYE-KEY, it has been westernized to RAY-KEY.

Rei means universal, omnipresent – present everywhere at the same time. Esoterically Rei means spiritual consciousness.

Ki is the non-physical vitality that gives life to all living things. Many cultures understand and recognize the importance of Ki energy -Life Force Energy and how it impacts our lives and well-being.

Ki energy can be activated for the purpose of healing. When you feel healthy and full of enthusiasm, the flow of Ki energy in your body is high and unencumbered. Life seems easier to deal with and you have a higher resistance to illness and disease.

However, when your Ki energy is low because maybe you are under stress or feeling unhappy and tired you will be more susceptible to disease and sickness. Your attitude will be generally negative and you will find it difficult to deal with life’s challenges. Ki is the very essence of the soul; it leaves the body when a person dies.

Reiki is holistic; it works on the body mind and spirit by stimulating a person’s own natural healing abilities. The blocked emotional and physical elements that lead to illness and disease are cleared. Reiki is neither positive nor negative; it is in fact the highest and most profound vibration of life. Divine in origin, it allows us all to become one with all things alive in our world. Reiki is pure unconditional love and joy bringing all who experience and embrace its principles together in harmony.

The skills and techniques associated with Reiki are simple and easy to learn. Small children and adults can equally comprehend and incorporate this ancient form of healing into their lives. Regular contact with Reiki will bring the recipient’s mind body and spirit into balance. It will also help prevent the future creation of illness and disease.

HOW DOES REIKI WORK?

The human body is made up of over 50 trillion cells. Each cell contains omniscient wisdom and is connected to the universe and every living thing within it. A good analogy is to think of the universe as a huge ocean of water. Every living thing within that ocean is like a tiny droplet. Together these droplets makeup and are part of Reiki the universal life force.

Reiki is part of our genetic structure. An in-built intelligence that energizes the mind-body and spirit. Reiki stimulates growth, health, life, and healing. When it is freely allowed to flow around the body it can keep us alive and healthy for over one hundred and twenty years.

Unfortunately, bad habits and poor choices result in the flow of Reiki being stifled. It is important to note that Reiki cannot be destroyed. Even when we die, and the life force leaves our body it continues to exist as part of the universe. Through neglect and ignorance, we abuse this vital component of life.

When the mind-body and spirit are in harmony the biological intelligence that governs the body’s resources and allows it to heal itself and function correctly are intensified. Reiki is the key that unlocks the body’s optimum capabilities. There are seven main energy centers in the body that control the flow of the universal life force. They are called the Chakras. Each chakra is responsible for supplying energy to specific parts of the body. When they are blocked or clogged the body becomes sick and the flow of energy is diluted.

A full Reiki treatment reopens the chakras and re-balances the flow of the universal life force around the body. A person will normally need four full treatments on four consecutive days to boost the flow of Reiki energy. This will stimulate the body’s immune system and natural healing abilities. Normally the body will begin by cleansing itself of toxins. As the poisons are removed, the body becomes re-balanced and the healing process can begin.

SOME OF THE BENEFITS OF RECEIVING A REIKI TREATMENT

Reiki Healing Energy provides means to balance the human energy fields (aura) and energy centers (chakras) to create conditions needed for the body’s healing system to function. When the flow of the "Life Force Energy" is disrupted, weakened, or blocked, emotional or health problems tend to occur. Imbalances can be caused by many situations occurring in our lives, such as emotional or physical trauma, injury, negative thoughts and feelings, malnutrition, destructive lifestyle and relationships, and so on.

By the use of ancient healing symbols,  the practitioner channels the Universal Life Force energy allowing it to flow where is needed to bring the energy centers into alignment.
