About Reiki

The word 'Reiki' (pronounced Ray Kee) is translated as 'Universal Life Energy' or 'Spiritual Energy'. The word is divided into 2 parts: Rei is translated as 'wisdom and knowledge of all the Universe' or 'atmosphee of the Divine'. In short, it means the Higher Intelligence that guides the creation and functioning of the Universe. This comes from, what some call, God, the Source, the Higher Power or the Creator. Ki is the life force energy that flows through every living thing (plants, animals, people), it is present, in some form, in everything around us, even in rocks and inanimate objects.

Reiki The Healing System:
Reiki is a healing system developed in 1922 by a Japanese Buddhist priest Dr Mikao Usui, who after many years of study, discovered a way of accessing and using this healing energy, and passing this ability on to other people.
Today, a portion of the practice is used as a form of complementary and alternative medicine.

It is believed that physical body illness and disease can be reduces by looking after your energy body, commonly known as the 'Aura'.
In addition to the aura, our body contains some energy centres known as 'Chakras'. Your aura energy field protects your 'Chakras' just as your physical body protects your vital organs.

Chakra, a Sanskrit word meaning wheel or vortex, vibrate evenly in a circular motion, shaped like a funnel which is narrow close to the body and becoming wider further away. There are 7 major chakras in the human energy body.

Crown Chakra Third Eye Chakra Throat Chakra Heart Chakra Solar Plexus Chakra Sacral Chakra Root / Base Chakra

Everything that happens to us, good or bad, has an affect on our chakras and aura.
To explain, falling in love can have an amazingly beneficial effect on our whole energy body, making it sparkle with colour. However, emotional or mental traumas, and even negative words, can have detrimental effects on our energy levels. If a particular chakra becomes imbalanced, blocked or closed this could effect the mental body and the associated physical body parts.

Reiki is performed as a whole-body treatment. The practitioner asks the recipient to lie down and relax, the practitioner may take a moments to enter a meditative state of mind, mentally preparing themself for the treatment. The treatment proceeds with the practitioner placing his hands on the recipient in various positions. Practitioners may use a non-touching technique, where the hands are held a few centimeters away from the recipient's body, for some or all of the positions. The hands are usually kept still for 3 to 5 minutes before moving to the next position. Overall, the hand positions usually give a general coverage of the head, the front and back of the torso, the knees and feet. Between 12 and 20 positions are used, with the whole treatment lasting 45 to 90 minutes.
Keep in mind! Reiki is an Intelligent force, no matter what hand positions are used, Reiki will flow to where it's needed most! usually for the recipient's highest, greatest good.
In some cases the practitioner may spend longer in some positions then others due to intuition guiding them.
