Reiki is a Japanese word for Universal
Life Force, in India it is known as Prana, in China, Chi or Qi, in
Hawaii, Mana. It flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If
one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or
feel stress, and if it is high, 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.
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.
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 comes from God, 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.
While Reiki is not a religion, it is still important to live and act in
a way that promotes harmony with others. Dr. Mikao Usui, the founder of
the Reiki system of natural healing, recommended that one practice
certain simple ethical ideals to promote peace and harmony, which are
nearly universal across all cultures.
