What Is Reiki?

The name reiki is derived from two Japanese words, rei meaning universal and ki means life force.

We are made up of a Universal energy that emanates within and beyond our physical body. Reiki is a natural therapy that gently helps to balance this energy and brings health and well being to the recipient. Practitioners are able to access it to facilitate healing and spiritual growth for themselves and help guide it to others. Reiki flows through the practitioner from an unlimited source of Universal energy that they then channel to depleted or unbalanced energy centers that are located throughout our bodies. When it is practiced routinely it can promote good health. It is also an effective complementary therapy that can be combined with any medical treatment. This is not a replacement for professional medical care, but is meant to enhance our capacity for healing.

There is no need to follow any religious belief or dogma in order for this therapy to work. The only requirement is for the recipient to be open to receiving the Reiki energy. The practice of Reiki can be easily embraced by all walks of life. This type of energy work involves all aspects of our being, mind, body and spirit. By addressing these aspects as a whole we can bring harmony to our lives and avoid manifesting disease.
