What is Reiki?
"Reiki is love, Love is wholeness, Wholeness is balance, Balance is wellbeing, Wellbeing is freedom from dis-ease"
Dr Mikao Usui
Reiki, is based on the concept that life force energy flows through all living things and is essential for health and wellbeing. Reiki is a non-invasive, natural and safe, healing method, which involves a trained Reiki Practitioner acting as a conduit for the life force energy to flow through them into the recipient’s body. Reiki helps to balance the energy centres, also known as chakras, by removing blockages, restoring the natural flow of energy and supporting the body’s innate ability to heal itself on all levels, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words; “Rei” which means “Universal” and “Ki” which means “Life Force Energy”. So, Reiki is actually “Universal life force energy.”
The skills and techniques associated with Reiki are simple and easy to learn. Small children and adults can equally understand and incorporate this ancient form of healing into their lives.
“Reiki is the greatest secret in the science of energy.”
Madam Hawayo Takata
It is commonly taught, that Reiki energy enters the practitioner through the crown chakra and then down into the hara (abdomen). The energy then goes out through the palms of the hands into the person receiving the Reiki. Giving or receiving Reiki is generally a peaceful experience.
Reiki is balance. It works on a physical, spiritual, mental and emotional level. Reiki energises and heals the body. Research studies have shown it to accelerate wound healing, lower blood pressure, reduce stress and is effective as part of a regime to manage pain. Reiki compliments other health care and medical treatments.
Often without realising it, we use Reiki energy instinctively. When we hurt ourselves we automatically place our hand on the injured area. As children we looked to our elders to rub or kiss a sore spot better and in so doing draw in Reiki energy to aid the healing process.
Reiki is not a religion. It has been used by practitioners of Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, it is a spiritual practise that compliments any faith as a hands on healing practice.
The handbook Dr Usui gave to his students says:
“My Reiki Ryoho is an original method based on intuitive power in the universe. By this power the body gets healthy and enhances happiness of life and a peaceful mind.”
