Reiki is a powerful hands-on technique which promotes overall health and healing, relaxation, and
stress reduction. It is simple to learn and anyone can use this energy. It can be performed easily on yourself or others by utilizing the universal life force energy that is already all around us. It is helpful for treating a wide array of health and emotional issues such as headaches, colds, aches and pains, arthritis, cancer, anxiety, and depression. There are no side effects and the calming effect often brings a feeling of peace.
The ability to use Reiki is not dependent on one’s age, fitness level, intellect, or spiritual development.
It is not a religion and does not require adherence to any particular dogma or set of beliefs.
In fact, it can work whether you believe in it or not!
The word Reiki is a compound of two Japanese words:
Rei denotes ‘God’s Wisdom’ or ‘Guidance of a Higher Power or Great Spirit’
Ki, like the Chinese chi, is ‘life force energy’
So together, Reiki has a meaning of ‘spiritually guided life force energy’
While Reiki purports no religious beliefs, its founder, Mikao Usui, did develop a set of
aspirational ideals based on the five principles of Meiji Emperor Mutsuhito, whom he admired.
He hoped that these would encourage self improvement and personal responsibility, and
provide spiritual balance and lasting results.
