Reiki origins are found in the Tibetan sutras, ancient records of cosmology and philosophy. We believe that Reiki has been with humanity always. Reiki is an energy healing system that was re-discovered by a Japanese monk named Mikao Usui (1865-1926)
The word Reiki can be divided in two REI & KI:
REI is a Japanese word that means, higher power or Universal energy and KI means life-force energy.
Reiki is a holistic energy healing modality based on Eastern concepts of energy flow. Energy is constantly flowing throughout the universe, and Reiki connects humans in a more direct way to the universal source.
Reiki is a way of transmitting or channeling energy from the Universal energy field into the energy field of any living organism. It is an ancient healing art of energy transmission through the use of intention and specific sacred symbols.
Reiki facilitates transformation on multiple levels assists in the restoration of balance on the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual levels of all living creatures.
The life-force energy is the essence that gives vitality to form. Ancient civilizations understood that this life-force energy flowed through the body, supporting optimal health. The Chinese identified this energy as chi, the Indians called it prana, and the Japanese knew it as ki
Reiki is increasingly used as a powerful addition to conventional medical care, both in and out of hospital settings. During “hands-on” or distant Reiki treatments the client usually experience relaxation and peacefulness and may feel warmth and other subtle and pleasant sensations.
While Reiki and other energy healing modalities, are based upon spiritual and metaphysical principles, they have been validated by science.
