Reiki is a powerful relaxation and healing technique that reduces tension, and relieves stress. It induces a meditative state while infusing the patient with life force energy. This energy heals the body, mind, and spirit, as well as promoting emotional cleansing. Dr. Usui developed Reiki in Japan from 1914 to his death in 1926. Everyone can learn to do Reiki for their own relaxation and healing, as well as to help others.

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes harmonizing the mind, body & spirit. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that Universal Life Force energy flows through all living & sentient beings (people, animal & plants) and is what causes life. If the life force energy is low, there is more chance of feeling sick or experience stress. If it’s high, there’s more ability of being in optimal balance. Reiki, the word, consists of two Japanese words - Rei which means "God’s Wisdom or the Higher Power" or "light," and Ki which is "life force energy". Therefore, Reiki is actually "spiritually guided life force energy." A Reiki session benefits the whole being including body, emotions, mind and spirit thus creating many beneficial effects which may include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing.

An ancient Japanese healing art, "Rei" means "Universal and "Ki" means "Energy". Imbalances in the flow of "Ki" can result in dysfunction of our physical, psychological, emotional or spiritual levels.

Reiki Practioners receive energy activations called "attunements", allowing them to access this universal life energy to help bring balance to their clients.

Reiki is gentle but effective. One cannot do too much or too little Reiki - the receiving body will decide how much or how little it wants.

Many ancient healing traditions hold that the universe is made up of life force energy. This energy is in us and all around us. Health problems can arise when our energy becomes stagnant, blocked or agitated. Practitioners of energy healing are trained to rebalance and channel this energy to stimulate the body’s own healing response and promote relaxation. When you grab your stubbed toe to relieve the pain you are engaging in a type of energy healing. Reiki is a form of energy healing that uses symbols to harness and direct life force energy. Children and pets are particularly open and receptive to this energy. It can be used to assist with all types of health complaints and is particularly recommended for stress and anxiety-related health complaints, and pain.

*******
REI Means "universal" and refers also to the spiritual dimension and the soul.

KI Means the vital life force energy which flows through all that is alive

These Japanese characters when combined present the concept of "universal life force energy". Reiki energy is whole not dual- it is, therefore, neither positive nor negative per se but rather is the combination of these qualities.

Reiki is "universal" energy- therefore; it is safely used any time- any place. It expresses the quality of "unconditional" rather than "conditional". "Universal" means "applicable or common to all purposes, conditions, or situations," and pertains to that which is cosmic.

This life energy is what sustains us and helps to keep us healthy. Reiki therapy helps to keep the energy balanced within the body, allowing the body to relax, stay healthy or to heal itself more quickly.

Reiki is translated to mean "spiritually guided life force energy" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through everyone and is what actually causes us to be alive. If the "life force energy" is low, then a person/animal is more likely to become ill or experience stress. However, if the life force energy is high, we are more capable of experiencing happiness and health.

*******
Reiki or “universal energy” is the life force. The life force is everywhere and everything. Energy simply IS so as living beings we are all able to connect and work with this energy. Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that promotes healing. Reiki is conducted by "laying on hands" utilizing the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through everything, everywhere. 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. Energy cannot be destroyed, it can only transform. Therefore, you and reiki are the same, and like homeopathic belief, like cures like.

Reiki is a peaceful, hands on technique passed down from Master to Student for many, many years. The Healer sets an intention for powerful energy to seek out troubled spots and ease pain for those in need. The treatment itself is relaxing, rejuvenating and deeply restorative. Reiki Energy works for all, believers and non believers, young and old, even plants and animals! Reiki is non invasive, you remain fully clothed during a treatment. The Healer gently places her/his hands where energy is needed, trusting intuition to lead him/her to the perfect places for deep healing. Some people report feeling heat, others a gentle tingling, most feel a deep sense of peace and many actually fall asleep! It’s a awesome way to spend an hour, try it today!

Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is an ancient Japanese healing art. Reiki works by bringing the body’s energy systems back into balance and kick-starting the body’s own healing process.

Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive technique which can bring healing on all levels. Clients are seated or laid comfortably (no undressing required) and a Reiki practitioner will lay their hands either on or just above the body to enable the healing energy to flow. Clients will notice a feeling of peace and relaxation during the treatment and many find it so relaxing they drift off to sleep!

Although everyone has the ability to channel Reiki, an attunement must take place to ’attune’ the student to the energy. Reiki practitioners go through various levels of attunement with a Reiki Master, to be able to channel Reiki energy for the benefit of themselves, family, friends, and clients alike.
