Reiki
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.
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 Divine power, 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.
