Reiki Healing

What is Reiki?

Reiki is an ancient healing technique of channeling universal life-force energy into the client or patient through the hands of the practitioner, activating the natural healing processes of the patient's body. Reiki works by penetrating the energy field thru light touch or no touch techniques to improve physical, emotional and spiritual well-being. Reiki is considered an alternative holistic approach to wellness, and works well in conjunction with traditional medicine for patients undergoing surgery, chemotherapy and treatment for substance abuse and chronic pain.

We Are Energy

The Universe is energy. Out of energy everything is created. The energy your body is created from is the same as that of a mountain, a beautiful plant or your beloved pet. It may seem incomprehensible that an object that appears to be lifeless and unchanging could have the same origins as a plant or animal that is living, growing and constantly developing, yet that which is fragile is from the same source as that which is dense. This energy, the Universal Life Force unites the Universe and all life found on this planet.

The idea that we are united by one energy source is very important when it comes to working with energy. If everything in the Universe is created from one source, then all things, animate or inanimate, are connected. This means that we are constantly interacting with and influencing each other as though we were one gigantic body.

Although the energy of the Universe is unlimited, within living creatures it is not. We come into this world with an abundance of energy which replenishes quickly when we're young. As we begin to age, we notice changes in our body. We don't have the same stamina as we once did, or we begin to feel aches and pains never experienced before. As our bodies age, we are unable to replenish the energy as we did when we were young. If left unmanaged, this can lead to ill health and/or a loss of the ability to live to our full potential.

Working with energy to reverse, or at least mitigate, this loss of energy can be found in a number of practices. With the practice of Reiki, the energy is drawn from the Universe and transmitted through the palms of the hands to achieve a rebalancing of life force.

Being in this state of balance enables us to enjoy life, to find contentment and to sense our connectedness to everything around us.

Reiki is a form of alternative medicine developed in 1922 by Japanese Buddhist Mikao Usui. Since originating in Japan, Reiki has been adapted into varying cultural traditions across the world.

The Reiki technique is designed to help relieve stress and promote relaxation. The intention is that by “laying on hands,” the “Universal Life Force Energy” will flow through us, giving us life. If your “life force energy” is low, you’re likely to be more susceptible to illness and stress.

How Does Reiki Work?

We are alive because life force is flowing through us. Life force flows within the physical body though pathways called chakras and meridians. It also flows around us in a field of energy called the aura. Life force nourishes the organs and cells of the body, supporting them in their vital functions. When this flow of life force is disrupted, it causes diminished function in one or more of the organs and tissues of the physical body.

The life force is responsive to thoughts and feelings. It becomes disrupted when we accept, either consciously or unconsciously, negative thoughts or feelings about ourselves. These negative thoughts and feelings attach themselves to the energy field and cause a disruption in the flow of life force. This diminishes the vital function of the organs and cells of the physical body.

Reiki heals by flowing through the affected parts of the energy field and charging them with positive energy. It raises the vibratory level of the energy field in and around the physical body where the negative thoughts and feelings are attached. This causes the negative energy to break apart and fall away. In so doing, Reiki clears, straightens and heals the energy pathways, thus allowing the life force to flow in a healthy and natural way.

Reiki Can Never Cause Harm

Because Reiki is guided by the God-consciousness, it can never do harm. It always knows what a person needs and will adjust itself to create the effect that is appropriate for them. One never need worry about whether to give Reiki or not. It is always helpful.
