Reiki is a Japanese form of healing that involves the transfer of energy from practitioner to patient to enhance the body's natural ability to heal itself through the balancing of energy. Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is a Japanese word representing universal life energy, the energy which is all around us. It combines “rei” meaning "free passage" or "transcendental spirit" and “ki” meaning "vital life force energy" or “universal life energy.”
If your "life force energy" is low, then you are more likely to get sick or feel stress. If it is high, you are more capable of being happy and healthy. Reiki is a holistic, natural, hands-on energy healing system that touches on all levels: body, mind, and spirit. The healer places his or her hands above the recipient who draws the energy as needed; i.e., the individual being healed takes an active part in the healing process.
Some of the benefits of Reiki are:
- Deep relaxation and the release of stress
- Acceleration of the body’s self-healing abilities
- Improved sleep
- Pain relief
- Removal of energy blockages
- Greater balance and harmony
- Increased vitality
- Raised vibrational frequency of the body
- Spiritual growth and emotional clearing.
