Reiki is an ancient 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.
(Rei = Universal, Ki = Life Force
Energy)
If one's life force energy is low,
we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.
Some people report that a treatment
feels like a physically and/or emotionally rejuvenating experience. Others report
feeling deeply relaxed and at peace. You may feel the warm, glowing energy or
feel nothing, however, that does not mean nothing is happening. Reiki treats
the whole person; physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Some have even
reported miraculous results.
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.
