Reiki
(pronounced ray-key) is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and
relaxation that also promotes healing.The word is made of two Japanese words, Rei and Ki.Rei is translated most commonly as meaning
universal.Japanese kanji or ideograms
generally have more than one meaning and this one is no exception.Another meaning of Rei is higher knowledge or
spiritual (God) consciousness.It knows
the cause of ailments of each person individually and knows how to bring things
into balance.Ki is a common martial
arts term.It means life energy.Ki animates all living things.So Reiki’s overall all definition is
spiritually guided life energy.The
practitioner becomes attuned through training from a master and serves as a
conduit (funnel) for the energy to come through.
Reiki
is very safe.The energy guides itself
without requiring direction from the practitioner.It also works to heal for the client and
practitioner’s highest good.The most
common question that I used to receive was what does it do to me as the practitioner?It heals me as well.Since I’m not using my own energy I feel uplifted
instead of depleted after a session.
