WHAT IS REIKI?
Reiki is a generic word in Japan which is used to describe any type of healing work based on universal life force energy. It is used in the West to represent a healing system based on the methods of Dr. Mikao Usui although it is not exclusive to that system. The system that evolved from Dr. Usui's method is called the Usui System of Natural Healing or Usui Shiki Ryoho.
It was thought to be an oral tradition, handed down from Master to student sometimes taking years of dedication and practise before a student was ready for attunement.
Reiki which is pronounced ray key is made up of two words in the Japanese language. The meaning of the word depends on how they are used and combined with other words, so they can mean different things. When they are used together for the practise of healing they mean...............
REI which is the higher intelligence that guides the creation and functioning of the universe. The wisdom that comes from God (or Source, the Creator, the Universe, the Light or whatever you believe in) which is all knowing and understands the need for and cause of all problems and difficulties and how to heal them............and
KI which is the life force energy that flows through all living things, people, animals, plants and trees.
It is a safe natural therapy which can initiate healing on all levels by the action of the gentle yet powerful energy which radiates from the practitioners hands.
We can tap into this universal life force energy and channel it for the highest good of the recipient either 'hands on' or by distance.
Please keep in mind that Reiki is not a substitute for medical diagnosis,treatment or care from your GP/registered health provider.
Do not stop taking prescribed medication without consultation. Reiki may be used in conjunction with medical care and/or complementary therapies and is a wonderful tool to accelerate healing, to relax and balance the body's systems and to maintain a healthy life.
I do not diagnose,treat or interfere with prescribed treatments and I do not accept any responsibility if you choose to treat yourself using any information from this website.
