WHAT IS REIKI?

The treatment Reiki originated from Japan, and it is used for stress reduction and relaxation. Reiki is also valuable for promoting health. This treatment was developed by Dr. Mikao Usui, who traveled, studied and researched ancient Buddhist teachings and spiritual leaders. From these experiences and what he learned he was then able to develop the Reiki Method. Since then, reiki has spread all across the world.

The technique is conducted by moving the hands over a person’s body. This is based on the theory that there is some kind of energy or life force that flows through us and is the essence to why we are alive. Also in regards to this theory, when some ones energy is low, they are more susceptible to colds and feeling of stress. On the contrary, if their energy is higher the person is more likely to feel joy, happiness and be healthy.

Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that anyone can use. This treatment is effective for helping almost any known illness and condition. It also always creates a beneficial effect. Reiki also works in conjunction with contemporary medical treatments to relieve side effects and promote recovery.

It is also good to understand what the word Reiki actually means, which I will now explain. The word “Rei” is defined as “universal or transcendental” and the word “Ki” means life force. Essentially Reiki means universal life force that flows through us. If you had the chance to read our article on chi gung, you would have likely noticed the similarities between the two words chi gung and reiki .

Now we have an understanding of reiki , but what does an actual session of this marvelous treatment consist of? First of all, the recipient lies or sits in a very relaxing and comfortable position while the Reiki practitioner uses their hands to flow over on on the recipient’s body whiling utilizing a sequence of positions to deliver powerful energy to the recipient’s chakras. Many people feel tingling sensations and some even slip into an altered state of consciousness. Others may fall into a deep sleep, experiencing thoughts or dreams while in a peaceful state.

In other words, during a reiki treatment the recipient feels a wonderful glowing warmth that flows through and around them. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit, which creates many beneficial effects for the recipient. Many have reported miraculous results
