What is Reiki?

Reiki, pronounced ray-key, is an effective and simple touch-activated energy therapy for natural health, relaxation and self-empowerment.

Reiki was the word coined by Dr Mikao Usui, the modern founder of Reiki, to describe the nature of the energy that this technique produces. The word Reiki is comprised of two Japanese words: Rei, meaning ‘universal,’ and Ki, meaning ‘life-force energy.’ Reiki’s life-force energy is said to be ‘universal’ because it is the essential underlying energy that makes up every living thing. By boosting and balancing your Chi or life-force energy through Reiki you can bring health and vitality to all levels of your being: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual.

Recent scientific evidence has revealed that higher frequency energy fields organize and order the physical body by regulating the endocrine system and reproduction of our cells. Studies have shown that disturbances at these higher levels, such as emotional stress and mental anxiety, filter down into the physical body to cause disease. Reiki has proven to clear disturbances at these higher levels as well as treating the physical symptoms of disease, producing health by strengthening one’s overall being.

The Benefits of Reiki

Reiki treats and prevents disease by allowing the flow of energy to all areas that have experienced blockages, bringing balance, harmony and strength to one’s overall being. Reiki gives more energy to chronic fatigue sufferers, relieves arthritis, rheumatic aches and other troublesome pains. Cuts, burns, sprains and broken bones recover twice as quickly. The calming effect of Reiki greatly benefits those with stress, hyperactivity and ADD conditions. And the revitalizing effect of Reiki assists those with depression.

This system can also be used in conjunction with all forms of physical activity, natural therapies and traditional medical modalities, to improve health and facilitate healing.
