What Is Reiki?
Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of healing. Reiki is used to promote total
health and fitness, physically and spiritually.
It is also used for self-improvement and spiritual growth. Effective in helping heal illness or injury, it always creates a beneficial effect. It works in conjunction with
all other medical or therapeutic techniques to promote healing and relieve side
effects.
The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei which means "spirit that is not defined qualitatively" or "hidden force" and Ki which is "life force energy."
Reiki can be described as "spiritually
guided life force energy."
People have described a Reiki treatment as a wonderful glowing radiance that
flows through and around them. Reiki treats the whole person including body,
emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include
relaxation and feelings of peace, security and well-being. Many have reported
miraculous results.
Reiki is 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 which 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 flows from and is guided by a higher 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.
