What is Reiki?

Reiki energy

The whole universe is filled with the Energy of Life. This energy exists everywhere and in everything.

For millennia, mankind knew about this energy and called it with different names. In China it is known as Chi, in Japan as Ki, in India is called Prana, in Christianity is called the Holy Spirit.

In our time, with the discovery of Kirlian’s photography, this Energy can be seen. It is around us and in us, it is in every living cell.

Eastern nations have developed different practices to use this energy for healing. Such are Tai Chi, Feng Shui, Acupuncture and many others.

Reiki is one of those practices that uses the Cosmic Energy of Life for healing, self-healing, and spiritual growth.

This system has existed for thousands of years, but it has not been accessible to the masses and so has been forgotten over time.

The system was rediscovered by Dr. Mikao Usui in 1922 in Japan.The name Reiki was given by Dr. Usui. The word consists of two kanji (hieroglyph) Ray and Ki. Ray in Japanese means the universe, omnipresent, spiritual wisdom. Ki means life energy or the energy of life.

Reiki means Universal Energy of Life.

Due to the fact that a kandja has many meanings, the translation and combination of these words occurs in different variants. However the most common is combination is Life Energy or Universal Energy of Life.

Reiki is the energy of life that flows in all and in everything.

For Reiki there is no physical barrier or distance.

Reiki as a healing practice is officially recognized by the International Health Organization (WHO).

Reiki therapy

Reiki as a healing system is known as “hands-on treatment".

The Reiki practitioner, is channelling the Reiki Energy and, by placing their hands on the recipient, passes on the Reiki Energy.

Unlike acupuncture and massage, it is not necessary for the recipient to take off their clothes because Reiki passes through any material.

The same treatment can be done without contact, i.e. the practitioner holds their hands over the recipient’s body without touch.

A successful Reiki session can also be held at a distance. The Reiki practitioner can be at one geographic place and the recipient at another geographic place. The Reiki session will be effective regardless of the distance.

Reiki from a distance

Reiki healing from a distance also gives effective results.

The time and the space do not limit the effectiveness of the treatment. This phenomenon is easy to explain in our time. For example, we can compare Reiki with Wi-Fi. Just as we do not see the Wi-Fi signal that connects us to the Internet on the same way Reiki can be effective from distance. The quantum physics Scientists also support the idea of remote therapy.

Statistical surveys in the field of alternative therapy methods indicate that in Britain in 2000 year there were more healers that offer remote treatment than healers who offer treatment with the personal presence of the client. In other words the remote healing is getting more popular.

How does Reiki work?

The human body is a complex mechanism consists of organs and systems regulated by electromagnetic impulses. Each of our actions, conscious or unconscious, is a result of the complex operation of this fine electro-magnetic system. When all energy centres are in balance, one feels alive and happy, “full of energy".

When there is a lack of energy or excess of energy in some of these energy centres, then one does not feel good or healthy.

The first and immediate effect of Reiki healing is the harmonizing of these energies, as a result a sense of tranquillity occurs that is very symilar to a meditative state, breathing deepens, blood circulation improves, the energy of the whole body is balanced which leads to different positive effects; the pain subsides, consciousness clears and emotions calm down.

After Reiki some people feel more relaxed, others are filled with energy. A very common effect is the releasing of suppressed emotions.

Reiki is an excellent healing method for treating stress, relieving physical pain and for all kinds of physical and mental illness. From everything here we get evidence of Reiki’s holistic impact on the physical, mental and spiritual / emotional levels.
