What Is Reiki?
Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It can be administered with or without laying hands on the body, it is a safe, non-invasive treatment that restores balance to the systems of the body, and as a result symptoms and conditions of illness may be relived. 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 can be seen as “spiritually guided life force energy.”
During a Reiki Treatment different people will feel different things, physically and emotionally. Many people say that a treatment can feel like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. However to receive the benefits of Reiki, you do not have to feel anything. 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.
The primary aim of Reiki is to move energy blockages that may have occurred in the body and as a result have cause physical or emotional disease. Using gentle contact through a sequence of hand positions, practitioners access this ‘Reiki’ energy, which enhances the receiver’s sense of wholeness and wellbeing and supports their body’s natural healing ability.
Reiki 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.
