Reiki is spiritually guided life force energy.
The best way to understand Reiki is to experience it for yourself.
Reiki is the life energy that flows through all living things.
Reiki and other vibrational healing modalities work on the principal that we are made of energy, and that health is optimized when the energy in our body flows properly and is in balance. Energy work is holistic in nature; when we stimulate our subtle energy, we also affect our body, mind, heart, and soul.
The word “Reiki” means “mysterious atmosphere, miraculous sign.”
It comes from the Japanese words:
'Rei' = universal source energy
'Ki' = life force energy, the energy that animates all living beings
History of Reiki
Reiki is a method of healing that dates back to about 2500 years, but was forgotten about for a long time. Reiki roots come from India having passed through Tibet and China to Japan. In the nineteenth century the system was rediscovered by a man called Dr Mikao Usui.
During Usui’s quest on the holy mountains of Kori Yama, he fasted and meditated for 21 days in order to attain a high altered state of consciousness. On the morning of the 21st day, Dr. Usui was beginning to become frustrated with his situation, a great spiritual energy came down into the top of his head; he became enlightened The energy also bought with it Reiki Ryoho, which is the ability to heal. It has since been taught and passed on making its way to the West.
What is Reiki? How does it work?
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
