What is REIKI?
(pronounced Ray-Key) Universal Life Force Energy
Rei: means Universal Energy
Ki: means Life Force Energy
Ki energy is known as Ki in Japan, Chi in China, Prana in India, Ti or Ki in Hawaii, and Biofield Energy in Science.
Reiki is a gentle “Laying on of Hands” technique for stress reduction and relaxation which promotes healing. It was initially discovered by Dr. Mikao Usui of Japan in March 1922, who passed his knowledge on to others regarding what to expect and how to work with this energy.
Energy extends throughout and beyond the physical body, and any disruptions or imbalances in its flow correlate to physical, mental, and emotional illness.
The healing art of Reiki addresses these imbalances to support good health and well-being. Reiki also maintains energetic balance. Reiki can be sent long distance, across the room, to another state, as well as around the world.
How does Reiki heal?
Reiki heals by balancing energy fields. All healers use “Ki” (Life Force Energy). “Rei” (Universal Energy) taps into and enhances the “Ki” energy. Reiki is channeled through an attuned practitioner. The energy is directed to where it is needed; to the Physical, Mental, Emotional or Spiritual aspects of our bodies. The client utilizes this healing energy to support his/her optimal wellbeing.
