What is Reiki?

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing.

The word Rei can be interpreted as "universal", meaning that it is present everywhere. The word Rei as it is used in Reiki is more accurately interpreted to mean spiritual consciousness. This is the wisdom that comes from God or the Higher Self and is the God-Consciousness which is all-knowing. It understands each person completely. It knows the cause of all problems and difficulties and knows how to heal them.

Ki is life energy. This is the energy that animates all living things. If your life energy is low, you are more vulnerable to illnesses. When it is high, and flowing freely, you are less likely to get sick.

The God-Consciousness called Rei that guides the life energy called Ki is best described as spiritually guided Life Energy. Reiki treatments increase the amount of life energy within your body.

How Does Reiki Heal?

We are alive because Ki is flowing through us. The balanced flow of Ki is the cause of health. Ki nourishes the body and supports it in its functions. When the flow of Ki is disrupted or blocked the body becomes dis-eased.

Reiki treatments heal the energy pathways in and around your body, allowing healthy Ki to flow in a natural way. Once Ki is flowing naturally, your body is then able to complete the healing process on its own.

What Can Be Treated?

Reiki has aided in healing virtually every known illness and injury including serious problems like MS, heart disease, cancer, as well as minor injuries, skin problems, bruises, cuts, broken bones, headaches, colds, flu, sunburn, fatigue, and insomnia. It is always beneficial and works to improve the effectiveness of all types of therapy. You can continue to receive regular medical or psychological treatments while receiving Reiki, with improved results. Reiki will improve the results of any medical treatment, acting to reduce negative side effects, such as those from chemotherapy, surgery and invasive procedures. It shortens healing time, reduces or eliminates pain, reduces stress and helps create optimism. It has been regularly noted that patients receiving Reiki leave the hospital earlier than those who don't.

Please do not ever stop any current medical treatments if you are under the care of a medical doctor or other health care professional unless they direct you to do so. I am not a licensed medical practitioner and cannot treat or diagnose health conditions. Reiki is to be used as a supplemental alternative healing treatment.

Is Reiki A Religion?

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.
