Reiki Healing
Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and
relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by
"laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen
"life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us
to be alive. 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.
The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei which
means "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power" and Ki which is
"life force energy". So Reiki is actually "spiritually
guided life force energy."
A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that
flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person
including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many
beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of
peace, security and wellbeing. Many have reported miraculous
results.
Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual
healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. It has
been effective in helping virtually every known illness and
malady and always creates a beneficial effect. It also works
in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic
techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.

An amazingly simple technique to learn, the ability to use Reiki is not taught in the usual sense, but is transferred to the student during a Reiki class. This ability is passed on during an "attunement" given by a Reiki master and allows the student to tap into an unlimited supply of "life force energy" to improve one's health and enhance the quality of life. Its use is not dependent on one's intellectual capacity or spiritual development and therefore is available to everyone. It has been successfully taught to thousands of people of all ages and backgrounds. |
While Reiki is spiritual in nature, it is not a religion. It
has no dogma, and there is nothing you must believe in order
to learn and use Reiki. In fact, Reiki is not dependent on
belief at all and will work whether you believe in it or
not. Because Reiki comes from God, many people find that
using Reiki puts them more in touch with the experience of
their religion rather than having only an intellectual
concept of it.
While Reiki is not a religion, it is still important to live
and act in a way that promotes harmony with others. Dr.
Mikao Usui, the founder of the Reiki system of natural
healing, recommended that one practice certain simple
ethical ideals to promote peace and harmony, which are
nearly universal across all cultures.
