Reiki means “Universal Life Force Energy” Reiki is an ancient and profoundly simple system of hands-on healing, it is gentle yet powerful. A Reiki Healer has been initiated into the attunement process, upon receiving the attunement the practitioner is then a Reiki channel for Universal Healing Energy. Reiki is used for healing on four levels, the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.
REIKI Practitioners are often confronted with the challenge
of explaining Reiki to those who have never heard of it before. I usually say,
“Reiki is an ancient yet simple system of hands on healing, that aids
relaxation, reduces stress and promotes healing.” if more is needed I would
add, “it’s based on the Asian concept of Life Energy and is done by laying on
hands. A subtle energy flows from the hands of the Practitioner into the
client, and it’s this energy that creates the relaxation and the healing
effect.”
Out of energy
everything is created, from your body to the mountains and
deserts. Universal Life Energy is the life force or living energy that
sustains the life of everything, including organs, cells, tissue, and blood. As
a spiritual entity the life force is considered our connective flow to the
source.
One thing that
disrupts and weakens the flow of “Life Force Energy” is stress. Stress is often
caused by conflicting thoughts and feelings that get lodged in one’s subtle
energy system.
These include
fear, worry, doubt, anger, anxiety, regret, resentment etc. Medical research
has determined that continual stress can block the body’s natural ability to
repair, regenerate and protect itself.
Scientific
studies have proven that stress can cause sickness and disease. Up 95% of all
visits to doctors are a result of reactions to stress. stress can weaken the
immune system and that makes you more vulnerable when you for example have a
cold or flu and even in the more serious situations such as cancer can be
enhanced in these situations.
The effects of unreleased stress range from minor aches and
pains to major health concerns, such as heart disease, digestive disorders,
respiratory and skin problems.
Reiki is a
technique that aids the body in releasing stress and tension by creating deep relaxation.
Because of this, Reiki promotes Healing and Health.
