Reiki Healing Restores Balance in One's Life
Reiki pronounced (Ray-key) is a system of natural hands-on healing originated in Japan. Reiki means "universal life energy", the vital energy around and within all living things. Reiki is the name given to a system of natural healing which evolved in Japan from the experience and dedication of Dr Mikao Usui. Fuelled by a burning question Dr Usui was inspired to develop this healing system from ancient teachings which involved many years of research, meditation and study. Dr Usui then went on to spend the rest of his life practising and teaching Reiki. Today Reiki continues to be taught by Reiki Masters who have trained in the tradition passed down from Master to student.
What is Reiki? Reiki is a safe, gentle, non-intrusive hands-on healing technique for use on yourself or on other, which uses spiritual energy to treat physical ailments without using pressure, manipulation or massage. However, it is much more than a physical therapy. It is holistic system for balancing, healing and harmonising all aspects of the person-body, mind, emotions and spirit. It can also encourage personal and spiritual growth and awareness.
There is no belief system attached to Reiki so anyone can receive or learn to give a Reiki treatment, the only prerequisite is the desire to be healed. The method of receiving a Reiki treatment from a practitioner is simple. The recipient simply lies on a couch and relaxes or can be given a sitting position. The recipient needs to be as comfortable as possible. There is no need to remove clothing as Reiki will pass through anything. The practitioner gently places their hands non-intrusively in a sequence of positions which cover the whole body, which relate to major organs or energy centres. The whole person is treated rather than specific symptoms. Reiki healing can be given anywhere at any time as no special equipment is needed. The practitioner is a channel which the energy is drawn through by the need or imbalance in the recipient. Energy is drawn into the client's body by whichever area feels that it needs energy.
Full treatment takes 1 - 1.5 hours.
