REIKI
Reiki is a safe natural form of healing. Reiki is a Japanese word meaning Universal Life Force and refers to the energy that flows through all living things that sustains life itself. A Reiki practitioner channels this energy for healing purposes through the laying on of hands. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and
soul.
Originated in Tibet thousands of years ago, it was rediscovered by Dr Mikao Usui of Japan whist studying in Buddhist monasteries. Dr Usui passed this healing on to other practitioners and Reiki is now practiced by thousands of healers all over the world.
Reiki healing is not a form of massage and clients are fully clothed. During the healing most people experience a gentle warming or tingling coming from the healer's hands.
The knowledge that an unseen energy flows through all living things and is connected directly to the quality of health has been part of the wisdom of many cultures since ancient times. The existence of this “life force energy” has been verified by recent scientific experiments, and medical doctors are considering the role it plays in the functioning of the immune system and the healing process.
A simple technique to learn, the ability to use Reiki is not taught in the usual sense, but is transferred to the student by the Reiki Master Teacher. It is not dependent on intellectual capacity or spiritual development, and therefore, is available to everyone. It has been successfully taught to thousands of people of all ages and background.
HOW DOES REIKI HEAL
We are alive because life force is flowing through us. Life force flows within the physical body through pathways called Chakras and Meridians. It also flows around us in a field of energy called the Aura. Life force nourishes the organs and cells of the body, supporting them in their vital functions. When this flow of life force is disrupted, it causes diminished function in one or more of the organs and tissues of the physical body.
The life force is responsive to thoughts and feelings. It becomes disrupted when we accept, either consciously or unconsciously, negative thoughts or feelings about ourselves. These negative thoughts and feelings attach themselves to the energy field and cause a disruption in the flow of life force. This diminishes the vital function of the organs and cells of the physical body.
Reiki heals by flowing through the affected part of the energy field and charging them with positive energy. It raises the vibratory level of the energy field in and around the physical body where the negative thoughts and feelings are attached. This causes the negative energy to break apart and fall away, which clears, straightens and heals the energy pathways, thus allowing the life force to flow in a healthy and natural way.
