Reiki

Reiki (pronounced Ray Key) is a Japanese method of healing that was re-discovered by

Dr. Mikao Usui in the late 1800’s. The word Reiki is actually made up of two words:

Rei which means “God’s Wisdom or Higher Power” and Ki which is “Life Force Energy.” It is based on the belief that unseen life force energy flows through us within our physical body through pathways called chakras, meridians and nadis, and around us in an energy field called the aura.  This life force energy nourishes our organs, tissues and cells enabling them to function properly. When one’s life force energy is low, then he or she becomes more susceptible to stress, illness or dis-ease, while high life force energy provides a sense of health and well being.

Reiki is a safe, simple and natural healing technique administered by the laying on of hands.  A person lies fully clothed on a massage table with his/her eyes closed. During the session, which usually lasts between 45 and 90 minutes, the practitioner places his or her hands on or near the client in a series of hand positions which are held for up to ten minutes. The practitioner serves as a channel for the Universal Life Force Energy to flow through his or her body to the recipient.

The energy of Reiki flows to where it is needed the most, clearing or unblocking energy pathways, thereby restoring a normal and healthy flow of Ki to support the body’s natural ability to heal itself. Ki is infinite and never runs out, although it is responsive to a person’s thoughts and feelings. It will flow more strongly with positive thoughts and feelings and is weakened or constricted with negative ones which then can result in a disruption of energy flow. When illness or dis-ease does manifest, it is usually rooted in the emotional, mental or spiritual level. In fact, as much as 90% of illness and dis-ease is thought to be caused directly or indirectly by the mind. When only the symptoms are treated, the root cause of illness or dis-ease is not alleviated. However, Reiki works on all levels, beyond the symptoms to treat the root cause of the illness or dis-ease.     

Reiki is complementary to all other modalities of healing including medical or psychological treatment, drug therapy and surgery. It can be used for treating all forms of illness and negative conditions and is especially useful for reducing or eliminating the side effects of Western medical treatments. The benefits of Reiki include relaxation, a sense of security,

and feelings of inner peace and serenity. In addition, many miraculous results have been reported and documented.

Although Reiki is spiritual in nature, it is not a religion, and therefore one may use it regardless of religious belief. Nevertheless, it is still important to live and act in a way that promotes harmony with one’s Self and with others. It is equally as important to accept responsibility for one’s own healing by taking an active part in it.
