Reiki
Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing.  It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "Universal 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.  If it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.

Universal Life Energy is the life force or living energy that sustains life of organs, cells, tissue, and blood. As a spiritual entity, the life force is considered our connective flow to the creator.  Chinese refer to the life force as chi or qi. Hindus call it prana. Greeks know it as pneuma. Japanese refer to it as ki.

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 literally means "spiritually guided life force energy."

How does a Reiki session work?
During the session, the client lays fully clothed on a table.  The Reiki practitioner will place their hands on certain areas of the client’s body and allow the Reiki energy to flow to the client.  The practitioner will tend to work in a pattern or will be guided to certain places depending on what the client has asked or is in need of at that time.  No two sessions are the same, as what was needed in one session will most likely not be the same as future session. 

How will I feel after?
A session feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person, including body, emotions, mind and spirit, creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing. Many people have reported miraculous results.

How does someone learn Reiki?
An amazingly simple technique to learn, the ability to use Reiki is not taught in the usual sense, but is transferred to the student during a Reiki class. This ability is passed on during an "attunement" given by a Reiki master and allows the student to tap into an unlimited supply of "universal life force energy" to improve one's health and enhance the quality of life.

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 conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.  Being relaxed and at ease allows the body to quickly heal itself and become more balanced and whole on physical, mental and emotional levels.

Using Reiki is not dependent on one's intellectual capacity or spiritual development, and therefore Reiki is available to everyone. It has been successfully taught to thousands of people of all ages and backgrounds.

Reiki is taught in levels that range from levels 1, 2, Advanced Reiki Training and Master’s.  Each level has an attunement process that allows the practitioner to work with the energy along with corresponding information.  This allows the practitioner to get use to the energy and to help them become accustomed to the Reiki energy in their life.  The Master’s level attunement is the final level that allows the practitioner to attune other individuals to the Reiki energy.
