Reiki is a hand-on technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by “laying on hands” and is based on the idea that an unseen, universal life force energy flows through us and is what causes us to be alive.
We are all connected to this universal energy and are born with the instinct and wisdom to heal. Our ancestors healed using their own inner wisdom. Unfortunately, as humanity has evolved, this natural instinct and healing knowledge has been forgotten.
The word Reiki is Japanese word meaning universal life force that is pronounced Ray-Key. “Rei” means universal, omnipresent – present everywhere at the same time. To some, Rei means spiritual consciousness, the omnipresent wisdom from God.
“Ki” is the non-physical energy that gives life to all living beings. It is the essence of the soul. Reiki is “spiritually guided life force energy” that can be activated for the purpose of healing. Ki is also known as Chi by the Chinese, Prana by some Asian cultures, and the Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost by most of the western world.
When one’s life force energy is low, the person is more susceptible to get sick or feel stress and emotional turmoil. When one’s life force energy is high, the person is happier and healthier.
