What is Reiki?
 

Reiki is a Japanese word pronounced raykee, which translated means Universal Life Force Energy. Reiki is an ancient system that can be experienced by either "hands on" or by distance (remote) healing. The Reiki treatment encourages physical, mental and emotional healing and spiritual growth. This unique gift of healing is learned by a process of attunements or initiations. A person who has been attuned to Reiki has experienced a very ancient technology for fine tuning the physical and etheric bodies to a higher vibrational level. Also the energy centres, the chakras, are opened to enable a person to channel higher amounts of Reiki energy.

Reiki is drawn through the practitioner who acts as a conduit.The recipient's body will draw the energy to those parts of the body that require it. The practitioner is also being treated as they give the treatment. Energy enters through the practitioner's crown chakra and passes through the upper chakras to the heart and solar plexus chakras and passes out through the arms and hands to the recipient. The process does not drain the practitioner. During this process the whole person is being treated, not the specific area. When this healing force enters the body it is automatically directed to the area where it is needed most.

This is not just supposition. Research workers at Stanford University using sensitive instruments were able to measure the energy flow in the body and verified that the Reiki energy enters the crown chakra (head) and exits through the palm chakras in the hands. Furthermore, Kirlian photography has demonstrated an increase in the emanations from the hands during treatment.

Reiki is not a religion, or a belief system. Reiki will work whether you believe in it or not!

Reiki not only works on the physical level; it can relieve pain, help to regenerate organs and tissue, but also Reiki loosens blocked energy, promotes total relaxation, and works on the mental and emotional levels to re-establish mental well-being and spiritual equilibrium. Reiki is one of the oldest forms of healing known to mankind.
