Reiki
(pronounced ray - key)
Rei means "Universal" and refers
to the spiritual dimension of the soul. Ki
means "The vital life force energy that flows through all living things."
When combined, it's meaning is "Universal Life Force Energy."
A laying-on of hands healing technique thousands of years old, it is thought
to have originated as a Tibetan Buddhist practice that was rediscovered in
the late 1800's by Dr. Mikao
Usui, a Japanese Buddhist. It is a very simple yet powerful technique
that can be easily learned by anyone.
Reiki is powerful healing energy and is
one of the few forms of healing that can be used for oneself or others.
The Universe, the space around us, is filled with endless and inexhaustible
energy. It is this universal, pristine and productive source of power and
energy that also keeps us alive. Reiki
is this natural healing energy, and it flows through the hands of the Reiki
channel in a powerful and concentrated form. The energy is channeled through
the hands of a practitioner into the body of a receiver. Because it is a Universal,
"God-given" power, Reiki belongs
to anyone who is ready to receive the gift of healing hands. Reiki
is effective wherever hands touch, because Reiki
hands radiate healing energy at any time, in any place.
Reiki is not a religion. It beholds no
doctrines, creeds or contradictions to the Universal Laws of Consciousness
and Love.
No matter where the person may be at a certain point in their life, Reiki
will harmonize and embrace their philosophical centerpoint,
adding to it the Divine Presence.
Reiki
is energy from the Universe/God and is an extremely powerful healing energy.
It does not conflict with any other health care, but rather enhances it's
results.
It does not interfere with traditional medical treatment, but facilitates
the benefits.
Reiki speeds the healing process and provides a source of restoring
energy while one is ill, under medical treatment, or in recovery.
Reiki healing is a pure energy form. When it is combined with the sincere desire of the healee, who is willing to effect a cleansing within their emotional and spiritual consciousness, a total healing can occur.
Reiki
is a wonderful tool for use at any moment, any time, anywhere for on-the-spot
stress release, pain relief and quick energy.
In short, Reiki is a holistic self-help
technique for directing natural life force energy.
Reiki
is a safe, holistic natural therapy.
It is a gentle, non-invasive form of hands-on healing that increases and balances
energies throughout your whole physical, emotional, mental and spiritual body.
Reiki helps in reducing pain, producing deep relaxation and a general feeling of well-being.
A person attuned to the Reiki energies draws in Universal life force energy and channels this energy by method of hand placement.
We all however, have Reiki,
it is the Universal Life force energy. We are born with it; it is our birthright.
What makes the Reiki system different
to other methods of healing is the attunements, or initiations,
which the student experiences in the Reiki
classes for the various levels, or degrees.
Once an individual is attuned to
Reiki through initiations, they are permanently
linked without the need of conscious alteration of the mind, either through
meditation, prayer or imaging. Simply placing one's hands on oneself, or another
person allows the energy to flow through the individual.
It fills the Reiki practitioner's body
first and then flows out through the practitioner's hands into the individual
who is receiving the healing.
