Reiki is an oriental method of working with energy that you can use for your own benefit and for the benefit of other people. In its original Japanese form in the 1900s Reiki was very much about working on yourself, it was a system that you could use for self-healing, self-development and spiritual development.
Reiki is also a system used for healing others both by treating and reducing stress and promoting relaxation. It is done both by using hand positions touching or in the energy field around the body and is based on the idea 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, 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.
There are very many different ways of practising Reiki, with lots of different Reiki ‘variations’ having been developed in the West over the years. I have been lucky enough to receive teachings that draw on the intuitive and spiritual methods favoured in Japan, where the healing system was begun by Mikao Usui.
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.
