Reiki (ray-key) is a technique that aids the body in releasing stress and tension by creating deep relaxation. Because of this, Reiki promotes healing and health.
Reiki is a technique for transmitting an subtle energy through the hands into the human energy system. Reiki restores energy balance and vitality by relieving the physical and emotional effects of unreleased stress. It gently and effectively opens blocked meridians, nadas and chakras, and clears the energy bodies, leaving one feeling relaxed and at peace.
The act of laying hands on the human or animal body to comfort and relive pain is as old as instinct.
When experiencing pain, the first thing most people do is to put their hands on it.
The living body, human or animal, radiates warmth and energy. This energy is the life force itself and has as many names as tere are human civilizations. The Hunas call this healing force MANA, and the Native American Iroquoise people call it ORENDA. It is known as PRANA, RUACH, BARRAKA and CHI. In Japan the energy is termed KI and it is from this word that Reiki is named. KI is an electrical type of energy that creates the body, and determines the state of health.
In the life force energy of Reiki, the person who is attuned as a Reiki healer has had her body’s energy channels opened and cleared of obstructions by the Reiki attunements. She now not only receives and increases this life energy or Ki for her own healing, but becomes connected to the source of all universal Ch’i or Ki.
Reiki is not a religion or affiliated with any religion. This life force energy is the source of life itself and fact than any religious philosophy.
