Reiki

What is Reiki?

Reiki is a simple, gentle and effective form of hands-on life-force energy healing that relaxes, soothes and helps integrate body mind and soul and is particularly good for healing physical complaints brought on by tension and stress, often providing insight into underlying emotional and mental issues.

Reiki healing sessions

A healing session in Reiki will strengthen the entire system, help the recipient take responsibility for his or her own health and bring him or her into contact with spiritual forces and his or her own spiritual nature.

Reiki attunements

An initiation or attunement into Reiki that will allow the recipient to access and work with Reiki energy themselves can be seen as an extremely strong session of treatment that clears physical, emotional mental and spiritual blockages and used wisely and responsibly with commitment sets the recipient off on a spiritual journey.

Background

Contemporary Reiki was developed in Japan at the beginning of the twentieth century by Mikao Usui and translates as Universal Life-force Energy or Divinely-Guided Life-Force Energy. The evidence suggests that Reiki was originally based on age-old Buddhist teachings.The life-force energy generated seems to originate externally and be of a highly developed spiritual nature with a loving, all-knowing intelligence. Since Usui’s times, the system(s) practiced today in the west has/have been added to and adapted by various masters and Reiki continues to adapt and flourish today.

In practice

Reiki is usually given with the recipient reclining on a massage table. The hour long session is generally held in virtual silence with neither the practitioner or the recipient feeling much need to communicate by words as both more or less automatically enter a pleasant state of trance. I generally pick up on what is happening to the recipient intuitively, adapting the usual course of treatment that covers the whole body with the fixed hand positions if any areas need extra attention, placing additional emphasis on connecting up and balancing out different areas of the physical and energetic bodies and possibly using extra Reiki symbols and mantras. After the session, experiences are exchanged and discussed.
