“Reiki” is a Japanese name formed from two words – “rei” and “ki”. In the Japanese language these words can mean different things depending on how they are used. When they are used together for the practice of healing, the word “rei” translates as “Universal Life Energy”, “Spiritual Consciousness” and “All-Knowing”. The word “ki” refers to the life energy that flows through all living things and translates as “Breath”, “Life Force” and “Vital Radiant Energy”. 

 

Reiki is an ancient form of energy work that has the capacity to heal people physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. It’s a high-vibrational energy that contains within it everything we need to be as healthy and balanced as possible. It also helps heal other living beings, animals, plants, and the earth. 

 

Reiki is a very high vibrational energy that exists naturally in the Universe, just like the air we breathe. When receiving Reiki, the person’s energetic vibrations are raised, creating a higher vibrational state of being. High vibrational states of being include things like health, joy, peace, optimism, balance, freedom and happiness. This begins to push out lower vibrational states of being such as illness, injury, disease, fear, anger and sadness. Low vibrational states of being begin to vibrate higher, and this creates physical, mental, emotional and spiritual healing. 

 

Reiki treatments also release low-vibrational thoughts and feelings such as fear, sadness, anger, hopelessness, inferiority, phobias and trauma. It heals negative experiences that happened in this lifetime as well as past lifetimes, leaving the person feeling more positive, light-hearted and optimistic. 

 

At the very least, Reiki provides stress reduction and relaxation to everyone who receives it. At the very best, it provides life-changing miraculous healing. The degree to which healing occurs depends on the person’s openness to receiving Reiki, and their dedication to frequent treatments. 

 

People receiving Reiki have reported recovery from countless common physical complaints including colds, headaches, stomach aches, sinus issues, acid reflux, cuts and burns. And many have reported recovery from major physical issues such as chronic back pain, arthritis, disc degeneration, heart disease and cancer. 

 

Reiki is channeled from the Highest Source through the practitioner’s crown chakra and out of their hands. Reiki treatments can be done with the hands on the physical body, with the hands off the body (in the aura), and remotely (sending reiki through time, space, and long distances).  

 

While it is true that Reiki facilitates tremendous healing, Reiki practitioners are not medical professionals, and therefore do not diagnose conditions nor prescribe treatments. It is recommended that if someone has a medical or psychological condition that they also consult a licensed health care professional. Reiki works well in conjunction with all medical and psychological care.
