Essentially, Reiki is an energy transfer. It is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that promotes healing. It is sometimes administered by "laying on of hands" and is based on the idea that life force energy flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's 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. 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."
What does it feel like?
A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind, and spirit - creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation, feelings of peace, security, and well-being. Many people report feeling euphoric and peaceful afterward. It is not uncommon for me to receive messages or images for you from spirit. I always ask permission from you before I give this information.
Is Reiki right for me?
Reiki is a simple, natural, and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. It has been effectively used in conjunction with other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery. While Reiki is not a religion, it is still important to live and act in a way that promotes harmony with others. 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.
