What is Reiki?
Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is a system of natural hands on healing originating in Japan. Reiki means ‘universal life energy’; this is the vital energy around and within all living things. It is a simple technique to relieve stress and pain and promote wellness. It promotes the flow of energy in the human body which in turns allows the body to function in a more holistic manner.
(Excerpts from "Reiki: A Comprehensive Guide" by Pamela Miles)
"The simple answer is that Reiki is a spiritual healing practice that can help return us to balanced functioning on every level - physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, even social - regardless of our age or state of health. Although balance can mean different things in different circumstances, Reiki treatment, which is usually facilitated by light touch, typically brings rapid stress reduction and relief from pain and anxiety. Recipients commonly report improved sleep and digestion, and a greater sense of well-being. Other benefits, such as feeling more motivated, less depressed, or experiencing relief from side effect of medications, radiation, or chemotherapy, vary from person to person. Unlike conventional medicine, Reiki does not attack disease. Rather, Reiki supports our well-being and strengthens our natural ability to heal by encouraging balance.
Reiki requires no belief, simply the willingness to experience. Noninvasive and holistic, Reiki can be safely practiced in any situation, even emergencies. There are no known medical contraindications."
How it Works
ReiKi works on the spiritual, mental and physical as well as the energy systems of the body, helping to realign congested areas such as meridians and chakras. The ReiKi therapist works gently with various hand positions around the body, feeling overactive or underactive spots which can be balanced. This assists the body’s self-healing process and is also very relaxing. Sensations from the subtle energies vary and are felt by the practitioner in different ways.
