About Reiki

What is Reiki?

- Rei=Universal; Ki=Energy

- It is called the energy of the Universe, or the energy of love.

- Other names include prana (Indian) and chi (Chinese).

- Reiki also refers to the Japanese energy healing method developed by Dr. Mikao Usui.

- Reiki is intelligent and it is available to anyone. It doesn’t belong to religious beliefs or ideologies.

- This energy flows in every living creature. It balances the Earth, the air, and the water. Reiki belongs to nobody. There is no single person or organization that holds the rights to Reiki.

- Spiritual practices, such as yoga, Tai Chi, meditation, and Feng Shui all use the concept of energy healing.

- There is no right and wrong when working with Reiki

How Reiki works?

- Reiki affects the body-mind-soul system. Reiki practitioners are able to channel Reiki. When it is used with intention and specific techniques, it can enhance physical health, emotions, thoughts, and behaviors.

- Reiki has a cleansing effect and it promotes spiritual well-being. Many practitioners and people who receive treatments experience spiritual shifts and better sense of awareness.

- Physical treatment involves channeling Reiki through our palms. This type of energy healing has been around forever. Think about it… what do you usually do if you hit your arm, head, or leg? You put your hand on the hurting body part (right after you said ouch J ). The root concepts of hugging and holding hands might be also connected to energy healing.

- Since Reiki is an intelligent and universal energy, it is not bound by time and space. Distant healing techniques are reported to be even more powerful than hands-on healing. Some aspects of quantum mechanics prove its effectiveness.

- One of the most interesting aspects of Reiki healing is how it affects actual outcomes based on the underlying problems. Let’s say that a person has a stomach ache. We would focus on treating the stomach, right? However, if the discomfort is actually caused by stress or anxiety, Reiki will automatically flow towards the mind instead of the stomach.

- Reiki is not your personal bio-energy. Therefore, your physical, emotional, and mental state do not influence the effectiveness of the treatments you give to others.
