Reiki Energy is a Japanese technique for
stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" 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. Energy Healing modalities are helping people understand who they really are at a core level.
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 Energy Healing 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.
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 Energy. 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.
In order for the Reiki healing energies to have lasting results, the client must accept responsibility for her or
his healing and take an active part in it. Therefore, the Usui system of Reiki is more than the use of the Reiki healing energy.
It must also include an active commitment to improve oneself in order for it to be a complete system. The ideals are both
guidelines for living a gracious life and virtues worthy of practice for their inherent value.
