WHAT IS REIKI ?

    Reiki (pronounced Ray-key) is a Japanese name consisting of 2 words REI and KI meaning spiritually guided life energy (commonly known as Universal Life Force Energy).( KI ) sometimes known as (CHI) is defined as “energy, air, breath, wind, vital breath, vital essence, the activating energy of the universe”. It is an energy which animates us all and is found all around us. Everything alive contains KI and radiates it. (KI) is the biomagnetic energy of the aura .Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on of hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy. Reiki is a form of healing that is using "universal life energy" channeled through the practitioner to the recipient. Reiki helps to harmonize body, mind and spirit for yourself or anyone you want to help.

Reiki is an effective healing method

  Reiki can be used for many ailments like reducing stress, relieving pain, headaches, stomach upsets, back problems, asthma - respiratory problems, PMT, menstrual problems, sinus, anxiety and many more. Reiki should never be used instead of medical treatment. It should be used as a compliment and to work in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to promote a speedy recovery and to relieve side effects and remain healthy.

Do you have to believe in any spiritual element, such as Reiki, Chios, Energy Therapy, or any other energy modality for it to work?

There is no belief system attached to Reiki so anyone can receive a Reiki treatment or a Reiki attunement. As in any healing, the first step towards a healthier life is a desire to be healed. Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. While Reiki is spiritual in nature, it is not a religion. It has no dogma, and there is nothing you must believe in order to learn and use Reiki. In fact, Reiki is not dependent on belief at all and will work whether you believe in it or not. The basic element of life energy is the essence of this healing practice. Reiki can be used in any situation where there is a desire for and openness to healing. Culturally, we know little about this element of life energy. Because Reiki comes from God, many people find that using Reiki puts them more in touch with the experience of their religion rather than having only an intellectual concept of it. While Reiki is not a religion, it is still important to live and act in a way that promotes harmony with others. Dr. Mikao Usui, the founder of the Reiki system of natural healing, recommended that one practice certain simple ethical ideals to promote peace and harmony, which are nearly universal across all cultures.

Why and When to Use This Therapy?

   Human beings are energy systems. If we accept this premise, then life energy is the essential and most basic element of the human energy system. We suffer when we don't have enough energy to carry out our life functions or when we, as energy systems, are out of balance. The effect of receiving a Reiki treatment is that our supply of life energy is increased and we return to balance. In this state of balance and renewed energy we can heal.

The Usui System of Reiki Healing is first a healing practice focusing on self-treatment. Daily practice is ideal. The practice balances and strengthens the functions and health of the physical body, enhances relaxation and self-awareness, and quiets and nourishes the spirit. Out of the practice of self-treatment, it becomes natural to treat family and friends with the same benefits. Applying Reiki is practical and useful. It accelerates and strengthens any healing process from bruising to chronic illness to mental/emotional imbalance. Reiki can be used at any time and in any situation when we can lay our hands on ourselves or another.

Reiki treatment

   You relax, fully clothed, on a message table or seated while the healer uses the “laying on of hands” technique on the body or above the body method in a prescribed pattern allowing the energy of life to flow through the hands of the practitioner to the person being treated. A treatment can last an hour or longer depending on the treatment required. A treatment 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. In the western world many practitioners use the standard hand positions and commonly a full treatment is given covering all the important organs of the body. There is no pressure on the body making it ideal for treating all ages and conditions, sometimes hands are even held away from the body. The energy flows wherever it is required (spiritually guided) and can normally be felt as a warm sensation or tingling in the body. Receiving Reiki is a very relaxing and soothing experience!
