Reiki
an ancient art of natural
energy healing
By:

Reiki (pronounced
Ray-Key) is made up of two distinct Japanese words
- Rei, for "Universal Consciousness"
or "Divine Source” and Ki, for "Life
Force Energy." It is more commonly referred to as
"Universal Life Energy.” Reiki is an ancient
Japanese art of natural energy healing. In Japan, the
traditional form of Reiki is known as “Usui Shiki
Ryoho,” and here in the western world it is referred
to as the “Usui System of Natural Healing.”
This advanced form of natural energy healing was rediscovered
by Dr. Mikao Usui in the mid nineteenth century. Today,
Reiki is used and practiced by millions of people around
the world who have also discovered it’s profound
and positive effects.
The
system of Reiki provides benefits to all levels of the
physical, mental, emotional and spiritual body, and
supports all conventional and alternative methods of
healthcare. Reiki has been proven to be effective in
restoring balance, relaxation, and vitality, and as
an aid in relieving and releasing negative emotions,
stress, anxiety and tension. Other advantages of using
Reiki include its ability to relieve side effects, accelerate
the process of recovery, and to boost the immune system.
Reiki is of the simple belief system that we are all
one, and that healing for the highest good occurs through
Divine spiritual intervention and unconditional love.
Reiki treats the whole person with natural and spiritually
guided, gentle, and nurturing energies. It utilizes
the age-old concept that an unseen "life force
energy " is flowing through our bodies, giving
and sustaining our lives. And if our "life force
energy" is low or unbalanced, we are more likely
to feel stress or experience sickness, and if it remains
high and balanced, we are more capable of being happy
and healthy.
Primarily, Reiki is a hands-on system in that subtle
healing energy is transferred to the physical level
of the body through hand placements, either on, or slightly
above the body. The mental level of the body receives
healing energy through concentrated thoughts. The emotional
and spiritual levels of the body receive healing energy
through feelings of unconditional love. A Reiki treatment
feels like a wonderful radiant glow that permeates and
flows through and around the body promoting feelings
of peace, security and well being. Many who have experienced
Reiki treatments have reported miraculous results.
The natural healing art and practice of Reiki are not
dependent on one’s intellectual capacity, nor
based on any belief system, religious affiliation, or
level of spiritual development. Reiki is used by people
all over the world who benefit from its effective, natural,
and safe method of healing and self-improvement.
Reiki is also an amazingly simple technique to learn.
It is not taught through the conventional meaning of
the word; the use and techniques are taught,
while the actual energy of Reiki is transferred
to the student during a Reiki class. A Reiki Master
passes on the energy and natural healing ability through
an intricate and spiritual “attunement”
process. The attunement process enables the student
to access an unlimited supply of "life force energy"
for the experience of spiritual growth, to enhance the
quality of life, and to improve the overall health of
the body, mind and spirit. The natural healing energy
of Reiki is simply available to everyone, and has been
successfully learned and is used by thousands of people
of all ages and backgrounds worldwide.

| OVERVIEW
OF A REIKI SESSION |
Reiki
Sessions are by appointment. The sessions are normally scheduled
for one hour . Prior to beginning
the Reiki treatment, a consultation is usually done. This
is a time to discuss what you as the receiver, would like
to focus on and extend positive energy to, during the
treatment.
During an actual Reiki treatment, the room is dimly lit
and candles are burning. Sacred herbs are used to cleanse
the space and promote spiritual healing. Soft, soothing
music plays in the background while the receiver lays
fully clothed on a massage table, covered with a nice
and snuggly blanket. The receiver takes a few deep cleansing
breaths and the eyes are closed to help induce a deeper
state of relaxation. The receiver is fully aware while
sensing the giver near, and will feel hand placements
either on, or slightly above different areas of the body.
Some receivers feel a warm or cool sensation with the
energy reception of the giver, while others feel an overwhelming
sense of deep relaxation and security. Reiki is truly,
a very loving and spiritual experience. The energy of
Reiki is always received in the highest good. It flows
to the recipient, and is concentrated on the areas that
are most in need, whether it be on the physical, mental,
emotional or spiritual level.
Following the session, a brief period of discussion takes
place between the giver and the receiver to share information
about the treatment and experience.
