What Is Reiki?
Reiki (ray-key) is a Japanese word
meaning Universal Life Energy. Rei=
Universal and Ki=Life Energy. The
term Reiki implies a system of natural
healing that uses Universal Life Energy
as a healing tool. Reiki is taught in
levels, or degrees by a unique process
known as an attunement, or initiation.
The attunement is a brief energy transfer
between a Master (or teacher) and a
student that opens the path for Universal
Life Energy in the student. Because Reiki
uses only Universal Life Energy, it is in
harmony with all things. It's frequency
balances all other energies it encounters.
Reiki works by correcting the flow of
energy through the body, allowing the
body to heal naturally. Reiki is a Holistic
practice and treats the person on all levels:
physically, mentally, emotionally and
spiritually. Reiki is gentle, non-invasive
and can be used alone or in conjunction
with standard medical treatment.
What Reiki Is Not
Although Reiki has been called "the
essence of unconditional love", it is
not a religion. There is no dogma; no
belief system is required. The client
does not need to believe in Reiki for it
to work.
How Does Reiki Work?
Reiki is basically a hands on healing
method but it can be used in different
ways- above the body, on food, plants,
animals or combined with other healing
modalities. Reiki can also be sent long
distance to heal those in other places.
Reiki relieves stress, removes blocks,
balances the energy body and helps
boost the immune system so that the
body can heal itself. Unlike drugs, Reiki
does not cover up the symptoms of an
illness. It works at a subtle energy level
to treat the cause. Reiki can be used in
any situation. Reiki can help ease pain
and discomfort, help find clarity in mental
processes and add calm to emotional
situations. It is also an incredibly effective
stress management tool. Reiki can even
help comfort those in transition.
Reiki Sessions
A typical Reiki session lasts 45-90
minutes during which the client relaxes,
fully clothed on the table while the
practitioner rests her hands on or above
the body in various positions. These
positions are designed to treat the major
chakras or energy centers, and the glands,
or endocrine system. Reiki energy is
intelligent and will go where it is needed
most. The practitioner does not decide
what kind of healing the client needs, but
allows the energy to work in it's own way.
A Reiki session is usually very relaxing.
Some people fall asleep or enter a state of
meditation. Typically, the energy feels
very warm and tingly but everyone
experiences it differently. Every session
will be different as it gives you what you
need at that particular moment. After a
Reiki session, most people are both relaxed
and energized.
