What Reiki Is...

Reiki

The Japanese word Reiki (pronounced ray-key) means Universal Light. It is the God-Consciousness universal knowledge called Rei that guides the fundamental Life Force energy called Ki. Reiki guides itself with its own wisdom.

Reiki is an ancient healing art. It is a laying on of hands touch healing system of incomparable ease and power. It is a simple technique for transferring healing energy from a giver to a receiver.

During a session, the Practitioner has the receiver in a comfortable position, usually laying on a treatment table. The receiver is fully clothed. When the session begins the receiver will experience a gentle sense of relaxation. The Practitioner will gently lay their hands on the receiver in various positions so as to free the “Ki” energy and allow it to begin the healing process.

The Treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through the body and surrounds it. The recipient falls into a deep relaxed state of consciousness similar to the meditative state. It is in this deep relaxed state that the body begins to regenerate and heal. Reiki treats the whole person including mind, body and spirit. It creates many beneficial effects including calm relaxation, peacefulness, security and well being.

Reiki is a perfect way to releave stress. It is also a wonderful preventative therapy. It is important not to wait until stress builds up in the body and a serious illness sets in.

Reiki compliments any other type of “conventional” treatment the client may be receiving. Treatments do not involve manipulation or massage. It does not even require hands-on application. The hands-off technique is especially effective for clients who have experienced abuse. Because Reiki is a Universally guided energy, it can do no harm. It always knows what a person needs and will adjust itself to create an effect that is appropriate and assist the body in regulating its own energy.

Anyone can learn to tap into this unlimited supply of “life force energy” to improve health and enhance the quality of life. Reiki is a technique for transmitting this energy to yourself and to others through the hands, the thoughts, and the chakras contained within the human energy system.

Through Reiki we experience the blessing of spiritual growth and change. Reiki is divine grace, a sacred gift and a tool to help develop conscious awareness. It is the very key to enlightenment.

As in most things in life, Reiki must be experienced to be fully understood and appreciated.
