REIKI
Reiki is a Japanese form of energy healing, stress reduction and relaxation. The transfer of energy from the practitioner to the patient balances the energy in the body and enhances the natural ability of the body to heal itself.
Reiki (pronounced ray-key) it’s formed of two Japanese words Rei and Ki. “Rei” means Spiritual Wisdom, or Universal Wisdom, meaning the higher knowledge in the spiritual realm.
This is the “knowing” that comes from the Universal Consciousness, God, or Higher Self. The word “Ki” means Life Energy and it has been studied for thousands of years. It is similar to the “Chi” Energy in Chinese or “Prana” Energy in Sanskrit.
Reiki is regarded as Universal Wisdom of Life Energy and it is considered to have a divine quality to it. If Reiki is used regularly, it will enhance the flow of the energy in the body by increasing vitality and breaking down existing conflicts within the person. Reiki cleanses all energy systems, removes blockages in the energy flow and releases toxins that have been stored in the body.
In a standard Reiki treatment, the energy flows from the practitioner’s hands into the client. Usually, the client will be laying down, in a comfortable position, fully clothed. We recommend that shoes to be removed.
The practitioner will place his or her hands on or near the client’s body, in a series of particular hand positions, for a few minutes in each position. During the treatment, usually, deep feelings of relaxation, lightness in the body, and a sense of well-being are experienced. Some people have reported seeing bright colors, feeling heat or cold sensations in the body, smelling sweet fragrances or having visions in the form of flashing images.
Although Reiki is believed to have originated in Tibet thousands of years ago, it was rediscovered by Dr. Mikao Usui, a Japanese Buddhist in early 20th Century.
Reiki symbols are sacred and therefore kept confidential, until the student has gone through appropriate training and attunements. There are three symbols used in Reiki healing: the Power symbol, the Emotional/Mental symbol and the Distant Healing symbol. Activation of the symbols can be done by drawing the symbol on the client’s body, by visualizing it or by saying it.
