What is Reiki?
Reiki (pronounced Ray Key) is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is a non-invasive, hands on healing derived from Universal Life Energy.
If one’s “life force energy” is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.
The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words – Rei which means “God’s Wisdom or the Higher Power” and Ki which is “life force energy”. So Reiki is actually “spiritually guided life force energy.”
The recipient often feels warmth or tingling in the area being treated, even when a non-touching approach is being used. A state of deep relaxation, combined with a general feeling of wellbeing, is usually the most noticeable immediate effect of the treatment, although emotional releases can also occur.
Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing.
Benefits of Reiki include:
- Relief from pain & anxiety
- Restful sleep
- Deep relaxation
- Relief from depression
- A heightened sense of well-being
