Reiki
REI means “universal” and refers also to the spiritual dimension and the soul. KI means the vital life force energy which flows through all that is alive. Put together the word Reiki means universal life force energy.
Reiki energy is whole, not dual; it is therefore, neither positive or negative. It is whole: encompassing all levels of healing; mental, physical, spiritual, emotional. Reiki is “universal” energy; therefore, it is safely used at any time and in any place. It expresses the quality “unconditional” rather than “conditional. “Universal” means “applicable or common to all purposes, conditions or situations,” and pertains to that which is cosmic.
Reiki balances and works on four levels of existence:
- Physical – the body and manifested pain.
- Emotional – what you are feeling.
- Mental – what you are allowing yourself to think.
- Spiritual – your capacity to love yourself and others; your creative source.
Reiki is an ancient Japanese method of healing and relaxing the mind, body and spirit. It is energy channeled through the hands of a trained practitioner promoting healing on whatever level of the being it is needed.
How Does Reiki Work?
Within the human body there are seven major energy centers called Chakras and each corresponds to different areas of the body, and when any one of these centers becomes blocked with negativity or fear, “dis-ease” can and often times does occur. Reiki energy helps to eliminate and heal these blockages and fears and promotes balance and harmony within the levels of mental, spiritual, emotional and physical areas. Because the practitioner is the channel they also receive the Reiki healing as well. Reiki is a gentle method of cleansing and healing the body on all levels promoting peacefulness and well being. The placement of hands corresponding to the chakras brings Reiki energy exactly where it is needed. Reiki works only for the person's highest good.
Some of the benefits of receiving a Reiki treatment are: balance of energy, increased creativity, release of stress, amplified energy, increased awareness, helps to release and heal negative emotions and works on the causal level of “disease.”
