Reiki is an ancient healing art, a beacon of tranquility in our fast-paced world. Originating from Japan, the word Reiki is composed of two Japanese words - ‘Rei,’ which means “God’s Wisdom or the Higher Power,” and ‘Ki,’ which is “life force energy.” So Reiki is actually “spiritually guided life force energy.”
This practice was rediscovered in the early 20th century by Dr. Mikao Usui, who formulated the Reiki principles that guide practitioners today. These principles encourage living a peaceful life, promoting harmony, and fostering a sense of gratitude.
Reiki is not tied to any religion or belief system. It is a subtle and effective energy work using spiritually guided life force energy. It’s about finding a connection to the universal life force, an energy that flows through every living being.
The core of Reiki practice is grounded in five simple principles, which serve as a guide for living a fulfilling life:
These principles are meant to be contemplated and lived by each day, providing a foundation for personal and spiritual development.
Imagine entering a space where time slows down, and the chatter of the mind fades away. This is where Reiki begins its work. Through a gentle “laying on hands”, a Reiki practitioner can channel this life force energy to you. It’s a simple, natural, and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use.
It’s not about curing specific ailments; it’s about aligning and balancing your energy to support overall well-being. Clients often report a profound sense of relaxation and peace, a reduction in their stress levels, and, sometimes, an emotional release as energy blockages are cleared.
Reiki works on all levels—body, mind, and spirit—activating and enhancing our natural healing processes. It supports the treatment of physical ailments, aids in resolving emotional blockages, and brings awareness to spiritual misalignments for conscious decision-making.
