Originally a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation, Reiki promotes healing on many levels.
Reiki is the life force energy in all living things. It is the energy of the universe and the Hado (vibration) of love. Reiki is the vibration of source/God and is the energizing life giving force that we as people, animals and plants need to live.
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.” Therefore Reiki is really “spiritually guided life force energy.”
If your “life force energy” is low you are more prone to illness and stress, however if it’s high, you feel happy, healthy and full of life. Reiki treatments provide a rebalancing of this vital life energy. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include feelings of peace, security, well-being and of course deep relaxation. Many have reported miraculous results after repeated Reiki treatments.
While Reiki is spiritual in nature, it is not a religion and has no dogma. There is nothing you must believe in order to learn and use Reiki. In fact, Reiki is not dependent on belief at all and will work whether you believe in it or not, but because Reiki comes from God/Source, many people find that using and or receiving Reiki puts them more in touch with the experience of their religion rather than having only an intellectual concept of it.
While Reiki is not a religion, it is still important to live and act in a way that promotes harmony with others. Mikao Usui, the founder of the Reiki system of natural healing, recommended that one practice certain simple ethical ideals to promote peace and harmony, which are nearly universal across all cultures.
The Ideals were developed to add spiritual balance to Usui Reiki. Their purpose is to help people realize that healing the spirit by consciously deciding to improve oneself is a necessary part of the Reiki healing experience. In order for the Reiki healing energies to have lasting results, the client must accept responsibility for her or his healing and take an active part in it. Therefore, the Usui system of Reiki is more than the use of the Reiki energy. It must also include an active commitment to improve oneself in order for it to be a complete system. The ideals are both guidelines for living a gracious life and virtues worthy of practice for their inherent value.
