What Is Reiki Therapy?
Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "layong on hands" and isbased on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. 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 "Higher Power") and Ki (which is "life force energy"). So, Reiki is actually, "spiritually guided life force energy."
A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind, and and spirit, creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing. Many have reported miraculous results.
Reiki is a simple, natural, and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. It has been effective in helping virtually every known illness and malady and always creates a beneficial effect. it also works in ocnjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.
While Reiki is spiritual in nature, it is not a religion. It has no dogma, and there is nothing you must believe in order to learn and use Reiki. In fact, Reiki isnot dependent on belief at all and will work whether you believe in it or not. Because Reiki comes from Universal Source (aka; God, Allah, etc.), many people find that using Reiki puts them more in touch with the experience of their own 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, recommeded that one practice certain simple ethical ideals to promote peace and harmony, which are nearly univerasl accross all cultures.
During a meditation several years after developing Reiki, Mika Usui decided to add the Reiki Ideals to the pratice of Reiki. The Ideals came inth part from the Five Principles of the Meiji emperor of Japan whom Mikao Usui admired. 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 imporve oneself is a necessary part of the Reiki learning experience. In order for the Reiki healing energies to have lasting results, the client must accept responsibility for his or her healin 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 impprove 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 the inherent value.
