What is Reiki Healing?

"Healing with Reiki stimulates the body's own innate wisdom to heal at the root level of cause of a problem. The healing energies bring you to such a deep state of relaxation and balance that you feel as though your slate is wiped clear and you can begin anew. You find yourself living more in your heart and peace, balance, joy and gratitude have become your way of life.

We come to see everything in life as an opportunity to explore ourselves more deeply, ultimately finding that the Divine truly exists everywhere, in all situations and in all things. Reiki will change your life if you make it a part of your life. For some it means healing the physical body. For others life, relationships and problems are seen in a different way and the answers we have been seeking suddenly appear.

Reiki becomes a Gateway to Your Soul. The healing work is actually one of surrendering the personality to the Higher Self. You begin to observe yourself, rather than simply react. You find yourself now able to make different choices that support you in a more balanced and complete way because you have reclaimed and are living from the Truth of your Divine Essence. "

The knowledge that an unseen energy or life force flows through all living things and that this life force is directly connected to the quality of our health has been part of the wisdom of many cultures since ancient times. This life force flows through the physical body and the energy fields that surround our physical form.

When we are stressed, sick, overworked or in pain, the natural flow of our life force energy is blocked and depleted. Reiki is a natural healing technique that helps to remove these blockages while replenishing and balancing the body's own energy. It reduces stress and promotes relaxation of the mind, emotions and body. (see Benefits of Reiki)

Reiki is a vibration of healing energies. It is a Japanese energy healing form, pronounced Ray-Key. Reiki is an ancient rediscovered natural healing techniques involving the placement of hands on or over the body in order to channel and balance life force energy to the recipient.

We do not use our own energy to create a healing for our client. Reiki has its own wisdom; it works wherever the recipient needs it most and goes to the deepest levels. As one's life force is replenished, the body's own natural ability to heal itself is activated.

Reiki does not conflict with medical procedures and, in fact, supports and enhances all medical treatments. Reiki is now offered and taught in many hospitals and clinics in the United States and throughout the world.

Reiki translates as Universal Life Force Energy. We know about Reiki through the work of Dr. Mikao Usui, a Japanese businessman, who had a spiritual awakening to Reiki on Mt. Kurama in Japan in the early 1900's. (see http://www.reiki.org for more information).

Reiki

While most people in this country use the name Reiki to describe the energy healing and its process, Reiki is actually a generic term, used in Japan to describe many types of healing and spiritual work. The system of healing that evolved from Dr. Usui's method is called the Usui System of Natural Healing or Usui Reiki Ryoho. When he first began to offer Reiki, it was a multi faceted, highly intuitive, flexible practice which became more structured and simplified when it came to the United States. I believe that many are beginning to go back to a more intuitive and multi faceted way of working with this energy. As more people are attuned to Reiki they naturally open up to the ways that they have worked with the Reiki Healing Vibration and other healing vibrations and techniques in the past.
