What is Reiki?
The current form of Reiki is the Usui Style developed by Dr. Michikoo
Usui in the Nineteenth century in Japan, the most popular and prevalent
style in the world. Reiki means, universal life energy, in Japanese.
It is the transmission of the Universal Energy and a form of hands-on
Energy Healing.
Reiki is not a massage therapy. It is a hand-touch, healing, which
is considered as one of the most ancient healing techniques in Asia.
In Japanese, "Hand-touch" (teate), means, treatment. It
is the tradition that the ancient Japanese treated injuries and illness
with a touch of hands.
The Reiki practitioner applies gentle hand touch on a receiver?s
clothed body. Reiki is a technique of transmitting the universal
life energy to the receiver through the practitioner. The practitioner
acts as a channel of the universal life energy to the receiver. You
will feel warmth and sensation over the area where the practitioner?s
hands are laid.
Reiki is a pleasant, holistic method of healing and safe for any
individuals. You can combine Reiki with any other conventional or
alternative healing modalities.
The result of Reiki practice varies from person to person, depending
on other internal and external factors, including receiver?s conditions,
symptoms, openness and sensitivity to the universal energy. Receivers
respond to Reiki differently, yet it is common that they often experience
sensations, such as heat, cold, vibration, tingling or heaviness.
It is also common that hidden or suppressed emotions from the past
come to surface to let go.
You may or may not obtain the immediate result of the practice after
a single treatment. The receiver may become aware of the result on
the same day or the effect may continue for several days. Otherwise,
it is possible that the result is so subtle at the energy level that
the receiver may not recognize the difference physically, emotionally
or mentally. It is also possible that the receiver may need a couple
of sessions before becoming aware of the result. Whether the result
is noticeable to the receiver or not, the practitioner always creates
an energetic shift in the receiver?s soul, mind and body, charge
with the universal energy and restore balance for total wellness
and well-being. Reiki is a subtle but very powerful tool. |
