What is Reiki?
Reiki (pronounced Ray-key) is a Japanese name consisting of 2 words Rei and Ki meaning spiritually guided Universal Life Energy which animates us all and is found all around us.
A system of natural healing which was rediscovered in Japan from the experience and dedication of Dr Mikao Usui (d. 1926), it helps to harmonize body, mind and spirit for yourself or anyone you want to help, and works on humans, animals, plants, as well as situations.
While it 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 it.
The knowledge that an unseen force flows through all living things and is connected directly to quality of health has been part of the wisdom of many cultures since ancient times. The existence of this has been verified by kirlian photography, a method pioneered by Semyon Kirlian, a Russian researcher in the 1940’s.
Healing involves direct application of Chi for the purpose of strengthening the clients chakras. Chi is the term used by the Chinese mystics and martial artists for the underlying force the Universe is made of. Mystics in all cultures have talked about the physical universe being made of an underlying form of something, much as modern physics research is now coming to understand the Universe is made of energy which is subject to (or affected by) thought, going so far as to claim we create our own reality from our thinking and the thoughts we share between each of us every day.
Reiki recovers a greater experience of unity with the divine harmony and our true selves, returning to a state of alignment with our Higher Selves or true way of being.
Reiki Benefits
Reiki heals at the different levels of being: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual, enhancing everything in your life. As running water smoothes the jagged edges of a rock until it is small enough to roll away, Reiki flows to the deepest levels of the person’s being, where illnesses have their origin. It works wherever the recipient needs it most, releasing blocked energies, cleansing the body of toxins and working to create a state of balance.
A Reiki healing feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through you and surrounds you. Reiki interweaves the whole person – body, emotions, mind and spirit and creates many beneficial effects including relaxation, feelings of peace, security, and well-being. A gateway shining pure love into the universe, it is this love which allows us to transcend our wounds and help us remember our true nature.
Acute injuries can be helped to heal very quickly but more chronic illness takes longer. In some cases such as terminal illness, the progress of the disease to be reversed will largely depend on the time given to heal and karma. However, in such cases there is usually great benefit and enhancement of the quality of life giving a sense of peace, acceptance and courage during the time remaining.
Reiki in no way conflicts with medical procedures and in fact supports and enhances all medical treatments. Reiki can be incorporated effectively into the healing arts practised by health professionals from traditional and alternative medicine.
Reiki energy can be used for anything and everything if we open up to the situation through our intent. We can use it on ourselves, other people, dogs, cats, plants, birds, groups of animals, situations in the past and in the future, world situations and send it in absentee to those who request help, the list is endless.
