Reiki healing
Reiki is a Japanese word meaning Universal Life (Rei) Energy (Ki). It is a
spiritual healing discipline and has its roots in ancient Buddhist teachings.
The founder of Reiki, Dr Mikao Usui, spent many years seeking the knowledge of
healing and found information on Reiki in Sanskrit texts. He received information
on Reiki through a vision when meditating on a Japanese mountain.
Reiki is the vital life energy which flows through all living things and which
can be activated for the purpose of healing. Reiki practitioners believe that
everyone has the ability to connect to their own healing energy and use it for
the purposes of strengthening the Ki (or life energy) of others. The Reiki therapist
channels the Ki through his or her hands to the recipient, activating the body's
natural ability to heal itself. When a person's Ki is strong and flowing freely,
the body and mind are in a positive state of health. However, the vital energy
may become weak or blocked, and this may lead to symptoms on a physical or emotional
level.
A Reiki practitioner will have received 'attunements' to open their healing
channels. The guidelines for the practise of Reiki are concerned with ethics and
behaviour and include living in harmony with others, taking responsibility for
one's own health and happiness, helping others, and being positive about all things.
