What is Reiki
Reiki is an ancient, gentle, hands-on, energy healing therapy. A profound Japanese healing technique, Reiki harnesses the universal life force energy to nurture relaxation, alleviate stress, and elevate overall well-being. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing. Many have reported miraculous results.
Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. It has been effective in helping virtually every known illness and malady and always creates a beneficial effect. It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.
While Reiki is spiritual in nature, it is not a religion. It has no dogma, and there is nothing you must believe in order to learn and use Reiki. In fact, Reiki is not dependent on belief at all and will work whether you believe in it or not.
During a meditation several years after rediscovering Reiki, Dr. Mikao Usui decided to add ideals to the practice of Reiki. These ideals were developed to add spiritual balance to Usui Reiki. Their purpose is to help people realize that healing the spirit by consciously deciding to improve oneself is a necessary part of the Reiki healing experience. In order for the Reiki healing energies to have lasting results, the client must accept responsibility for her or his healing and take an active part in it. Therefore, the Usui system of Reiki is more than the use of the Reiki energy. It should also include an active commitment to improve oneself in order for it to be a complete system.
Through the gentle placing of hands, Reiki practitioners channel this vital energy into the recipient's body, fostering a serene and tranquil state. This therapeutic approach has been demonstrated to mitigate symptoms of anxiety, depression, and chronic pain, while also enhancing sleep quality and bolstering the immune system. As ongoing research delves deeper into the profound benefits of Reiki, it is increasingly acknowledged as an invaluable complementary therapy for individuals seeking holistic wellness.
Reiki's gentle touch can soothe the mind, body, and spirit, providing a sanctuary from the demands of daily life. By harmonizing the flow of energy within the body, Reiki can restore balance and promote healing on a cellular level. Whether seeking relief from physical ailments or emotional distress, Reiki offers a compassionate and effective approach to well-being.
