What is Reiki?
Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation
that also promotes healing. It is administered by gentle "laying on hands"
and is based on the concept that an unseen "life force energy" flows through
us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low or out of balance,
then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high or balanced,
we are more capable of being happy and healthy.
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 is actually "spiritually guided life force energy." A treatment feels like
a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. 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. Many have 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.
