What is Reiki?

Reiki, is a method of healing used for relaxation and self-treatment of the body, mind, and spirit. The origins of Reiki go back to the ancient Buddhist scriptures. Symbols and mantras discovered by a Japanese priest, Dr. Mikao Usui became the roots and foundation of the Reiki healing system. Through his awareness and extended consciousness, the meaning and use of the symbols became revealed to him, thus the Usui System of Reiki was born.   

The word REIKI means Universal Life Force Energy. It is defined as being the power which acts and lives in all created matter. The word Reiki is made up of two root words: REI means the Universal, boundless aspects of the energy and KI meaning the vital Life Force Energy which flows through all beings. 

Everyone is born with REIKI, for it is the energy of life itself.  

What’s it’s Like Working With A Reiki Practitioner?

A Reiki practitioner undergoes an attunement process, otherwise known as an initiation that is carried out by a Reiki Master. 

During the attunement or initiation process, energy centers, also known as Chakras are opened up to enable the healer/practitioner to channel a higher amount of the Life Force Energy. The Reiki Master performs the unblocking and clearing process on the healer/practitioner. 

Once the attunement process is completed over a period of two days in a formal attunement setting, the practitioner becomes cleared of any blocks that prevent him/her from receiving the highest amount of the Life Force Energy. 

This Life Force Energy is then channeled and used for the purpose of healing during a healing session. The Life Force Energy is channeled and received by the healer/practitioner and transferred to the client through the palms of the practitioner.
