What is Reiki?
Reiki is perhaps the most experienced, and yet least understood holistic therapy in the world.
The story of Reiki dates back to the mid-1800s when Dr. Makao Usui,
searching for the ancient healing system used by Christ, Buddha and all
the ancient great healers, achieved enlightenment.
It was through his inner realizations that Dr. Usui gained the
wisdom to help others achieve their own path to enlightenment and
developed the Reiki system of healing.
Dr. Usui opened a school to offer his spiritual teachings and
provided individual healing sessions for physical illness and emotional
distress. His legacy has now spread throughout the world like a great
fire burning all separations of prejudice in its path. Reiki is now
practised regardless of the practitioner’s religion, creed, race or
social status.
The word Reiki means ‘Universal Energy’ (known as ‘ki’ in Japan,
‘chi’ in China and ‘prana’ in India), which Eastern medicine has always
recognized as flowing through all living beings and vital to wellbeing.
Acupuncture, tai chi and yoga are also based on the free-flow of this
energy in a person.
As a therapy and a personal development tool, Reiki is an effective
and simple way of tapping into the life-force energy - activating it
for the benefit of the receiver - stimulating the body’s own natural
healing potential. It is available to everyone because it is
non-religious.
Reiki is a complementary, non-invasive method that can help heal a variety of illnesses - physical, emotional and mental.
