Reiki (pronounced Ray-key)
Reiki is a simple way to access the 'Universal Life' energy around us for healing and harmony. It accelerates the body's own natural healing abilities on all levels and encourages a state of joy and well being. The nature of Reiki is to restore balance and harmony within our hectic, stressful lifestyles, and as such it is totally safe and complementary to every and any form of treatment, be it alternative, complementary, or conventional. It will enhance the positive benefits of any treatment, and can negate some of the harmful side effects some conventional medicine may cause, and speeds up the healing process, or use Reiki as an excellent preventative measure and it will keep you in a state of optimum health and well being. During the treatment hands are placed gently and passively on 12 different positions of the body. Hands are kept still so it is not like a massage and Reiki can be given through clothing or even a plaster cast!.
WHAT IS REIKI?
Throughout history many races have known of the existence of Universal 'Life Force' Energy that can dramatically benefit the quality of life. Various teachings have evolved to access this energy but many of them require years of personal dedication and practice. REIKI (pronounced Ray-Key) is a system of accessing this energy which is natural, simple, safe and instant.
WHERE DOES IT COME FROM?
Nobody really knows, but it is said it can be traced back to ancient Tibet and that the techniques are recorded in ancient Sanskrit writings. More recently, in the late 1800's a Japanese doctor named Mikao Usui rediscovered that it is possible to re-attune a person to harness this potential, thus enabling them to heal themselves and any other person, animal or plant they wished to. He called this system REIKI - the Japanese word for Universal Life force. Amongst the Masters to whom he taught the technique of passing on this system was a woman named Hawayo Takata who introduced REIKI to the Western world in the late 1970's. Since then its popularity and appeal has attracted much attention from people of all walks of life.
Whilst its roots are to be found in ancient mysticism the techniques used are based on proven scientific principles which makes REIKI one of the fastest growing and most effective tools which are available to help us.
