What is Reiki?
Reiki means universal life force. It is a Japanese term that comes from two terms Rei (universal, divine, spirit) Ki (life force). It is the energy that is present everywhere all the time. Reiki is healing technique that utilizes the universal life force energy to heal the four bodies: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. It can be used to heal the body, mind, spirit and soul.
Where Does it Come from & Why Reiki?
Since Reiki is the universal life force energy that surrounds everything in the universe it has been around since the origins of the universe. However, as a healing modality the Reiki energy was first channeled by a Japanese teacher, Mikao Usui. On a mission to explore how other great healers used healing energy, he went Mount Kurama-yama to seek answers. After about 21 days he channeled the Reiki energy.As we go through life, there are things that obstruct the flow and/or weakens our Ki or life force. Wrong dieting, negative experiences, trauma, environmental hazards, etc. can lead to physical and mental ailments, negative thoughts, emotional and spiritual pain, further leading to blockages and drains on our life force. This in turn leaves us vulnerable to dis(eases) of the body, mind, heart and soul. Reiki helps to remove the blockages and increase the life force energy.
How Does Reiki Healing Work?
Essentially a practitioner is trained by a Reiki Master to become a channel for the healing energy. Using his or her mind, body and spirit, the Reiki practitioner pulls the energy from the universe and channels it through his hands to your, mind, body, spirit and soul, and the Reiki energy will fill in wherever it is needed.
