Reiki

About reiki

Reiki (pronounced Ray-Key) is a system of enlightenment and a hands-on Healing art developed in the early 1900's by Mikao Usui in Japan. The word Reiki comes from two Japanese words - Rei and Ki, meaning Universal Life Force Energy. The term "Reiki" is used to describe both the energy and the Usui system of using it.

Reiki is hands-on energy healing where the practitioner serves as an open channel for transmitting the "ki" to others. The energy is channeled through the hands to the client, which activates the body's own natural ability to heal itself. Reiki goes to wherever it is needed most—releasing blocked energies, cleansing the body of toxins, working to create a state of balance and harmony and promoting relaxation and healing.

What can reiki treat?

Reiki is a particularly gentle technique because it is non-invasive and non-manipulative. Treatments can be used to facilitate physical, emotional, mental and spiritual well-being. Reiki is excellent for assisting in the healing of any physical, mental, emotional and spiritual issues of any kind and it gives wonderful results. Reiki treatments can be used for nearly all conditions, with little or no side effects. Some clients, however, may experience light-headedness, sinus drainage, increased gastrointestinal activity, etc.

Experiencing a reiki hands-on session

A standard treatment includes placing the hands on various areas of the head, shoulders, stomach, knees and feet. The Practitioner may also use other positions for specific concerns the client may have. Each position is held 5 to 10 minutes and the entire treatment lasts 45 to 90 minutes.

People's experiences vary during a Reiki session; however, most people feel the energy as heat. They may feel tingling, vibrating or waves of energy from the hands of the practitioner. Nearly all feel a deep state of relaxation in addition to some feeling a glowing radiance that surrounds them. As the Reiki energy begins to release blocks caused by tension, anxiety, fear, or other negative thoughts and feelings, some people drift off to sleep or report floating outside of their bodies. Some see colors, report spiritual experiences and mystical visions. At the end of the treatment, one feels relaxed and refreshed with a positive, more balanced outlook.
