What is Reiki?

The word “Reiki” (pronounced “ray-key”) comes from two Japanese kanji characters:

“Rei” refers to the spiritual consciousness that created and
  guides the universe.
“Ki” is the universal and limitless life force energy that
  animates and flows through all living things.

Reiki is a way to access and channel this universal energy for your own use or to help others to reduce stress, promote healing of the physical body, bring harmony to the mind and emotions, and increase spiritual awareness. Reiki raises the level of universal life force energy in the body, relaxing tension from stress, and harmonizing energy imbalances.

Reiki always works for the recipient’s greatest and highest good and cannot be misused. Reiki is an intelligent energy that flows to wherever it is needed most and is not limited by the abilities of, or direction by, the practitioner. Reiki is a safe, simple, effective method of relaxation and healing that can be learned and used by anyone.

How does Reiki work?

Everyone and everything in the universe is made up of different patterns of vibrating energy. This life force energy (Ki) governs your well-being and health. When you are ill or stressed, this energy becomes depleted. Reiki helps to restore your energy supply by clearing away energy blockages and imbalances, which, if left untreated, would eventually cause disease to manifest itself in the physical body. Thus, Reiki stimulates the body’s natural ability to heal itself.

Reiki can only be learned from a qualified Reiki Master-Teacher by way of an attunement – an initiation process that opens the recipient’s energy pathways to be able to channel the Reiki energy. Once a person has been attuned, all that is necessary to activate the flow of Reiki energy is the intent to do so coupled with the placement of hands on (or above) the recipient’s body. Reiki energy is always drawn rather than sent, as the recipient must be willing to accept and allow the Reiki to promote healing within their body. The more often that Reiki is used, the stronger it will become and the more powerful its effect will be.
