Reiki is an old healing art, rediscovered in the beginning of the twentieth century in Japan, by a Christian monk, Master Mikao Usui. The Reiki tradition is an old tradition documented in Sanskrit writings as old as 2500 years ago. “Reiki” is a Japanese word and its meaning is Universal Life Energy. The Cosmos is full of this endless and inexhaustible energy. Reiki is the natural medicine (Universal Life Energy) flowing through the hands of a Reiki practitioner (channel) in a powerful and concentrated form.
We were all born with this Universal Life Energy, but during our lives our energy channel becomes polluted due to several causes and thus the flow of energy can be inhibited or even blocked potentially causing dis-ease.
In the Reiki method by Usui, the practitioner will spontaneously pass on healing energy to your own body, another person or living thing by laying on the hands. The need of the receiver decides the amount of energy that is passed on. Reiki goes through any sort of material, such as clothes, plaster, bandages, metal, etc.
Reiki is not bound by a religion nor conflicts with any religion, meditation technique or initiation. It can be used with any medical therapy. It is safe for children, pregnant women, surgical patients and the elderly.
Reiki balances body and spirit and works on all areas: the mind, the body, the spirit. Reiki flows unlimitedly and stimulates self-healing. It strengthens the body and spirit, eliminates blockages, can detoxify, harmonize the chakras and restores balance.
