Reiki
Reiki is administered by "laying on of hands" and is based on the
idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what
causes us to be alive. The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words
- Rei which means "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power" and Ki which is
"life force energy". Reiki is a natural method of spiritual healing
and self-improvement that everyone can use. It treats the whole
person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many
beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace,
security and well being. It has been effective in helping virtually
every known illness. It also works in conjunction with all other
medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and
promote recovery. Reiki is 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 "life force energy"
to improve one's health and enhance the quality of life. Its use is
not dependent on one's intellectual capacity or spiritual
development and therefore is available to everyone. It has been
successfully taught to thousands of people of all ages and
backgrounds. 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 is not dependent on
belief at all and will work whether you believe in it or not.
