What is Reiki

The Origins of Reiki

What is Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is a laying of hands healing technique, thousands of years old. It is thought to have originated as a Tibetan Buddhist practice that was re-discovered in the late 1800s by Dr. Mikao Usui, a Japanese Buddhist. The word "Reiki" comes from two Japanese words: Rei - "Spiritual Wisdom" Rei means "The higher intelligence that guides the creation and functioning of the universe. You may want to call it God or Goddess. The direct translation of Rei from the Japanese dictionary is Ghost. Ki - "The Life Force" The direct translation of Ki from a Japanese dictionary is "Vapour" or "Mist". Ki means the same as Chi in Chinese, Prana in Sanskrit and Mana in Hawaiian. It has also been called odic force, orgone, and bioplasma. Ki is the life force. This is a non-physical energy that animates all living things. As long a something is alive, it has life force circulating through it and surrounding it. If your life force is low, or if there is a restriction in the flow, you will be more vulnerable to illness. When it is high and flowing freely, you are less likely to get sick. Ki is used by martial artists in their physical training exercises and mental development. It is used in meditative breathing exercises called Pranayama, and by the Shamans of all cultures for divination, psychic awareness and healing. Ki is the non-physical energy used by all healers. Ki is all around us and can be accumulated and guided by the mind. Spiritually Guided Life Force Energy It is the God-consciousness called Rei that guides the life force called Ki (or Chi in Chinese) in the practice we call Reiki. This is a meaningful interpretation, as it more closely describes the experience most people have of it. Reiki guiding itself with its own wisdom, and being unresponsiveness to the direction of the practitioner.

What is Reiki How does it heal?

We are alive because life force is flowing through us. Life force flows within the physical body through pathways called chakras. It also flows around us in a field of energy called the aura. Life force nourishes the organs and cells of the body, supporting them in their vital functions. When this flow of life force is disrupted, it causes diminished function in one or more of the organs and tissues of the physical body. The life force is responsive to thoughts and feelings. It becomes disrupted when we accept, either consciously or unconsciously, negative thoughts or feelings about ourselves. Reiki heals by flowing through the affected parts of the energy field and charging them with positive energy. It raises the vibratory level of the energy field in and around the physical body where the negative thoughts and feelings are attached. In so doing, Reiki clears, strengthens and heals the energy pathways, thus allowing the lifeforce to flow in a healthy and natural way. The effects of a Reiki treatment are as follows:
