What is Reiki?

Reiki is the Japanese word for universal life force energy, (rei-light, and ki-energy) that permeates and sustains our world. It is believed that there is an infinite source of this energy, creating and supporting all of us. However, whether the source is infinite or finite the use of Reiki to help transmute unwanted energy into positive, healing energy creates a reusable cycle. This one uniting energy has been used by many cultures in a variety of ways Tai Chi, acupuncture, yoga and many, many more. Forms of the Reiki healing system have been used throughout Asia since ancient times. Mikao Usui re-introduced this ancient healing system in Japan in the early twentieth century. It has become an accepted instrument of healing even within standard (mainstream) medical treatments.

The Reiki System

Reiki is a completely natural healing method, accelerating the body, mind, and spirit’s healing process. Reiki healing sessions naturally encourage holistic health and well-being, balance, purpose, and spiritual harmony, in the practioner as well as the client.

Reiki energy is directly connected to universal intelligence. This intelligence allows focus on the areas most in need of healing and appropriately directing the energy, thereby suiting the needs of the receiver in the very best way. During the sessions hands are gently placed on the receiver in an unobtrusive manner according to traditional methods, directing the energy to areas of the physical and auric bodies. The Reiki energy directs itself to the correct areas, sending healing to the overt symptoms and the deeper root causes that exist in the chakras, and/or mental, emotional, and spiritual bodies.

During a Reiki session the client may experience feelings of heat, cold, vibration, tingling, etc. Sometimes the healer may feel the opposite sensation, for example the client may experience intense heat while the healer feels cool energy. Other times there will seem to be no sensations. Whether or not any sensations are experienced during the session, rest assured that the energy has flowed correctly and effectively. This is one of the amazing and beautiful gifts of using Reiki. Do to the energy’s intelligence; one can always be sure that the session has been beneficial to the recipient.

Reiki energy passes through anything, so it is unnecessary to remove any clothing during a healing session. Distance healing is done focusing the healing energy on the recipient who is not available in person.

The recipient doesn’t need a problem to be eligible for a Reiki session. It’s great for relaxation and overall health and wellbeing. The vast benefits of regular Reiki sessions are innumerable and completely encompass the entire mind, body, spirit connection, increasing the quality of life.

Reiki sessions can also be given to animals and plants.
