Reiki is a Japanese technique that promotes not only deep relaxation but deep healing.

Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. The word Reiki loosely translates into “universal life force energy”. Practitioners of Reiki channel this energy to heal and harmonise.

Reiki energy has several basic effects:

It brings about deep relaxation, removes energy blockages, detoxifies the system, provides new vitality in the form of healing energy, and increases the vibrational frequency of the body. Reiki is a safe, gentle, non-invasive form of (mostly) hands-on healing, for mind, body and spirit. It is a simple, natural and safe method of self-improvement that everyone can use. Reiki healers channel energy from the universal source into “diseased” individuals for rebalancing, ultimately allowing the individual to heal themselves. As a universal life force energy, Reiki sustains life and promotes healing in all living things.

Reiki is not just for healing.

Mikao Usui, the founder of the Reiki system of natural healing, recommends that practitioners keep certain simple ethical ideals in mind to promote peace and harmony. The Reiki precepts are nearly universal across all cultures and are words to live by.

Just for today, do not anger, do not worry, be humble, be honest in your dealings with people, be compassionate towards yourself and others.

So Reiki is really a way of life.

The limits to Reiki are only in a person’s willingness to cast off old habits and patterns, to accept change and to accept healing. The Reiki Masters believed that the practice of Reiki will lead to a return to greater wholeness. Over time, the healing of the world’s ills will be accomplished, and that will come much more quickly with Reiki in the hands of everyone.

If you are interested in Reiki it will truly enrich your life and give you happiness and health on all levels.

There are many modalities out there, from Western and Japanese Usui, to Angelic, Kundalini and Egyptian. I would encourage you to explore these and feel what resonates best with you. It is likely you have been guided on your healing journey, guided here to read this and then continue on a journey of inner discovery. As well as receiving treatment, you may want to experience distance healing, empowerments and may even be called to train and be formally attuned to the healing energy. Why not give Reiki a try? You may be surprised at the ways it may improve your life.

(Please note that Reiki should never be used instead of medical treatment, it should be used as a compliment to becoming and remaining healthy.)
