Reiki

What is reiki?

Reiki is universal life force energy. The word Reiki comes from the Japanese language and is broken into two short syllables: Rei (Ray) meaning universal boundless energy, and Ki, meaning life force. Other languages use the terms Chi or Prana. Therefore, Reiki is the universal life force energy.

Reiki is an ancient healing method that is over 2000 years old. The practice of giving and receiving Reiki stimulates the body's natural healing abilities and promotes a sense of well being. Some people define Reiki as 'the energy of living love' - the same source of every atom in the universe. Reiki can be received in person or though distant (absent) healing.

Since reiki is a form of energy healing, it can also be combined with many other modalities. Crystal therapy is one which, when combined with the power of reiki, further enhances the healing potential within the recipient. During this session the practitioner places crystals on each of the seven chakras of the human body. Chakras are energy wheels which regulate the flow of energy through our energy system. Then, by using an ancient technique called ‘dowsing’, the practitioner will be able to determine which chakra is out of balance and channel reiki through the crystal to that particular spot which is needed.

Crystals allows us to access the seven layers of aura that are invisible to the naked eye. While our physical body allows us to hide our feelings and thoughts from each other (and sometimes ourselves), every feeling and thought pattern is stored in the seven layers. Crystals provide a natural way of aligning the auric layers and chakras so balance can be restored to the physical and emotional being.

How is reiki used?

The Reiki practitioner assists the client to heal themself spiritually, meantally, emotionally and physically by a simple laying on of hands. By the use of ancient healing symbols the practitioner channels the Universal Life Force energy allowing it to flow where is needed to bring the energy centres into alignment.
The Reiki practitioner must be a clear vessel through which the healing energy flows. They play an instrumental part in the healing process, but ultimately it is up to the healer to manifest harmony and balance in their own life.
Where you are unable to be present during a reiki session, a distant/absent healing may be performed by the practitioner. This can be sent remotely, to you or someone you love. There are no time nor space restrictions to distance Reiki. Healing can be sent to any place in the world, and to a different time.

What can I expect after a reiki session?

Reiki is experienced differently by different people, as we all have different conditions. Most recipients enter a deeply relaxed state of peace. Besides this, people have felt cold, pulsating heat, or a tingling sensation during a session. Some muscles may twitch. In some people, chronic or acute pain can diminish or completely vanish. For others, allergies and other infirmities completely disappear.

The reiki principle

To guide his Method of Natural Healing, the founder of reiki, Master Mikao Usui, promoted a set of Eastern philosophy Principles to each of his Practitioners and their clients. These are the principles.
