What is Reiki?

 

Reiki is the name given to a natural healing system that evolved in Japan from the experience and dedication of Dr. Mikao Usui. Reiki is a word meaning Universal Life Energy, an energy that is all around us. Today Reiki continues to be practiced and taught by Reiki Masters who have been trained in the tradition passed down from Master to student.

 

Reiki is a gentle invisible spiritual healing energy that works by balancing a persons energy system promoting the natural ability of the body to heal on all levels in countless ways: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.

 

The word Reiki can be translated as spiritual energy or life force.

 

• Rei - spiritual or sacred
• Ki - energy or life force.

 

Reiki is a non-invasive energy that is transmitted through the hands of the practitioner who has been attuned to Reiki by a Reiki Master. The practitioner, once attuned, is permanently connected to the Reiki source and able to channel energy to the client.

 

Feeling Reiki energy is a wonderful variable experience. Some people feel a warmth or heat coming from the practitioners hands, experience a gentle tingling, see colours or lights, a few people experience just total relaxation during and after a Reiki treatment. Whatever your experience Reiki adapts to the individual, bringing energy into the areas of the body most in need.

 

As running water smoothes the jagged edges of a rock until it is smooth enough to roll

away, Reiki flows to the areas of need, soothing pain and supporting the body’s natural

ability to heal itself. Reiki restores balance in one’s life.
