What is Reiki ?
“The Reiki method is not only for curing illness. It’s true purpose is to correct the heart-mind, keep the body fit, and lead a happy life using the spiritual capabilities human beings were endowed with since birth.”
Rei – Ki (pronounced Ray-Key) is a system of natural healing involving the laying on of hands, and is very likely to be thousands of years old. It is widely believed that the technique was first used by Tibetian Buddist monks and was rediscovered in the 1800’s by Mikao Usui. The Usui system of Reiki healing is a very simple yet powerful healing technique that is easily learnt, easily given and received by anyone. Reiki is most often used as a home or folk art to soothe the physical and mental distresses of everyday family life. Reiki is also practiced in professional settings and in conjunction with conventional medical care.
Benefits of Reiki Treatment:
Though Reiki was initiated in the 1940s for the Buddhists in Japan, followed by China and Tibet, yet with the success rate climbing high, this became a wide spread process of treatment. Today, Reiki is used as a method of healing both minor and serious illness and reducing the stress through a process of light touch or by placing hands near or above the body in specific positions. This technique can correct the energy imbalances in the body, thus restoring a person’s energy level and improving his health.

Reiki, as history explains, has its origin from Japan and means ‘Universal Life energy’. “Rei” means a subtle spiritual wisdom, responsible for the evolution of all kinds of lives, whereas “ki “means a nonphysical energy that flows through all living things – humans, animals and also plants. The measure of the Ki present within a self-determines its energy level in a directly proportional way.
Effects of Reiki:
Reiki promises a positive effect on all forms of illness, that include minor headache or stomach aches, common colds, flu and anxiety, along with serious illness of the heart, cancer.
Reiki Healing is quite a practiced process and, in this process, the Reiki energy flows to the patient from the Reiki healing practitioners. The client remains fully clothed and the practitioner uses different hand positions around the head, shoulders, stomach and feet. However, depending on the amount of Reiki the client needs in a particular position, the Reiki healing process is carried on. It is one of the safest treatments and can be implemented even on children and pregnant women.
