What is Reiki?
Reiki is a form of hands-on healing. The word Reiki means universal life force energy. It is unconditional love. Reiki was rediscovered in Japan in the nineteenth century by Dr. Mikao Usui. It is now practiced all over the world. There are many physiological, emotional, mental and spiritual benefits of receiving Reiki energy treatments. It is a process used to remove all that is not love in mind, body and spirit. It helps to alleviate stress, feelings of overwhelm, states of fear and anxiety. It is an energetic purge of negativity that has been consciously or subconsciously stored within the human being. After receiving Reiki, many people express feeling “lighter”, happier, calmer and more peaceful. In some instances, people have expressed their level of physical pain dissipating and lessening in their bodies. It is a spiritual process that can help induce a meditative and relaxed state.
One of the remarkable aspects of Reiki is its adaptability; it can be used alongside other medical or therapeutic techniques to enhance their effectiveness. Furthermore, Reiki is not confined by any specific belief system, making it accessible to people of all backgrounds and faiths.
Reiki training is divided into different levels, each offering deeper knowledge and practice. The first level focuses on self-healing and learning to channel Reiki energy for others. The second level introduces symbols and mantras that enhance the energy flow, while the third level, often referred to as the Master level, delves into advanced techniques and teaching others.
As a holistic practice, Reiki encourages individuals to take an active role in their healing journey. It fosters a greater awareness of the mind-body-spirit connection and promotes living a life aligned with one’s highest self. Whether seeking relief from specific ailments, engaging in treatments at a rehab facility, or simply striving for a more balanced and harmonious existence, Reiki offers a pathway to a more serene and fulfilling life.
