Reiki is a form of hands on healing, with its origins in India and the East dating back many thousands of years to the time before Christ and Buddha. The original name, disciplines and techniques of Reiki were lost due to the traditional method of passing knowledge from generation to generation by word of mouth. Exactly when this ancient art of healing disappeared is difficult to determine. However, we do know that it was rediscovered by a Japanese Scholar and monk named Dr. Mikao Usui. It was in fact Dr. Usui who fashioned the name REIKI.

Reiki is a two syllable Japanese word meaning universal life force. Although the proper Japanese pronunciation is RYE-KEY, it has been westernized to RAY-KEY. 

Rei means universal, omnipresent – present everywhere at the same time. Esoterically Rei means spiritual consciousness, the omniscient wisdom from God or the higher self. 

Ki is the non physical vitality that gives life to all living things. Many cultures understand and recognize the importance of Ki energy and how it impacts our lives and well-being. 

Ki energy can be activated for the purpose of healing. When you feel healthy and full of enthusiasm, the flow of Ki energy in your body is high and unencumbered. Life seems easier to deal with and you have a higher resistance to illness and disease. 

However, when your Ki energy is low because maybe you are under stress or feeling unhappy and tired you will be more susceptible to disease and sickness. Your attitude will be generally negative and you will find it difficult to deal with life’s challenges. Ki is the very essence of the soul; it leaves the body when a person dies. 

Reiki is holistic; it works on the body mind and spirit by stimulating a person’s own natural healing abilities. The blocked emotional and physical elements that lead to illness and disease are cleared. Reiki is neither positive nor negative; it is in fact the highest and most
profound vibration of life. 

Divine in origin, it allows us all to become one with all things alive in our world. Reiki is pure unconditional love and joy bringing all who experience and embrace it principles together in harmony. 

The skills and techniques associated with Reiki are simple and easy to learn. Small children and adults can equally comprehend and incorporate this ancient form of healing into their lives. Regular contact with Reiki will bring the recipients mind body and spirit into balance. It will also help prevent future creation of illness and disease.

Reiki is channeled through the hands. When you place your hands on your own body, or the body of another person for the purpose of healing you connect with the universal life force. The wisdom of Reiki then goes to work to bring about healing, balance and whatever is needed on a holistic level.

Reiki is ever-present in our bodies. This means anyone can harness this profound inbuilt intelligent energy for healing.

The human body is made up of over 50 trillion cells. Each cell contains omniscient wisdom and is connected to the universe and every living thing within it. Reiki is part of our genetic structure. An in built intelligence that energies the mind, body, and spirit.

Reiki stimulates growth, health, life, and healing. When it is freely allowed to flow around the body it can keep us alive and healthy for over one hundred years.

Unfortunately, bad habits and poor choices result in the flow of Reiki being stifled. It is important to note that Reiki cannot be destroyed. Even when we die and the life force leaves our body it continues to exist as part of the universe. It’s expanded consciousness.

When the mind body and spirit are in harmony the biological intelligence that governs the body’s resources and allows it to heal itself and function correctly are intensified. Reiki is the key that unlocks the body’s optimum capabilities. There are seven main energy centers in the body that control the flow of the universal life force.

They are called the Chakras. Each chakra is responsible for supplying energy to specific parts of the body. When they are blocked or clogged the body becomes sick and the flow of energy is diluted.

A full Reiki treatment reopens the chakras and re-balances the flow of the universal life force around the body. A person will normally need four full treatments on four consecutive days to boost the flow of Reiki energy. This will stimulate the body’s immune system and natural healing abilities. Normally the body will begin by cleansing itself of toxins. As the poisons are removed, the body becomes re-balanced and the healing process can begin.

Many cultures have developed techniques and disciplines that stimulate the flow of Kl energy around the body. However, Reiki is the easiest to learn and administer. The techniques are simple to master. The results are profound.

Although Reiki is considered to be a type of energy healing, it is not normally associated with religious or spiritual practices. Some Reiki healers do include spiritual elements as part of the treatment they offer, so please ask your practitioner about this if the issue of spirituality is a concern for you.

During your Reiki therapy, you will usually lie down on a padded treatment table, or you may remain seated if that is more comfortable for you, and you will not need to remove any clothing. Your practitioner may provide a guided relaxation or meditation exercise before commencing the treatment itself. 

The Reiki practitioner will hold their hands at specific locations on or slightly above your body, depending on what you’re more comfortable with. You may feel warmth or a tingling sensation in response to where their hands are, but people often experience the treatment in different ways. You might feel deeply relaxed or possibly even fall asleep. A treatment session often lasts for about 45-60 minutes, but the intuitive nature of the modality means it will be customized by the practitioner to suit your specific needs.

Although Reiki is not associated with any adverse effects, it is not intended as a replacement for traditional Western medicine, and you should never discontinue any prescribed medical treatment while undergoing Reiki treatment. 

As with any exercise or wellness program, please consult your medical professional before commencing Reiki. If you have an injury or other health issue, or any concerns at all, also speak to your Reiki practitioner, who will be happy to address these and explore the option of tailoring the session to your individual requirements.

Reiki is a non-invasive modality that supports both physical and emotional healing. Through hands-on or distant healing, a practitioner will act as a conduit for the healing energy to flow through their hands to encourage and stimulate a person’s innate powers of self-healing. Through the receiving of Reiki, you are assisted to re-establish your own internal control over your energy balance.

It's believed that Reiki energy flows through the practitioner into the client and promotes self-healing. Based on this understanding, Reiki healers transfer healing and relaxation energy into your body. Energy healers believe that when it comes to working with energy, time and space do not exist, so you can receive Reiki healing both in person and remotely.

The energy delivered into your body improves energy flow and helps to clear blockages. This allows the body to restore balance and heal itself physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

Reiki is not associated with any adverse effects. During a session, you may feel uncomfortable with the ambience of the room, being vulnerable to receive, or even the discomfort of the massage table or chair you may be on. Always communicate your concerns to your practitioner as they would want to address them and ensure you have a supportive session.

You may also feel a little ungrounded after a session, so it is always advisable to take your time to come off the massage table, to ground your energy and drink plenty of water for hydration. Sometimes emotions can surface after a session - being kind to yourself and rest is normally all that is needed. However, reach out to your practitioner if you feel it is necessary to have additional support.

It is quite common to fall asleep in a Reiki session and to feel a sense of relaxation afterwards. When receiving the Reiki energy, you may experience a sensation of warmth, tingling or movement. However, this is not always the case. Every Reiki session is unique, and whatever you experience is your individual response.

The most common response will be an overall sense of calmness, relaxation and being present.
