What Is Reiki?
Reiki is a Natural Form of Hands on Healing
and was re-discovered by a Dr Usui Sensei from Japan in1922.
“Rei” means Spiritually Guided and “Ki” means the Life Force Energy. It is believed that Dr Usui learned how to harness what is now called Reiki from ancient Buddhist Teachings and an Enlightening Experience following a 21 day fast and meditation when he was hit by a white Light. However the use of the Universal Energy goes back to times of the Ancient Egyptians, Aztecs and Atlanteans etc. The life force energy or vibrations known as Ki, are much the same as “Chi” in Tai Chi and “Prana” in Yoga.
The word Reiki, is used in a number of ways, for example to describe the discipline, i.e. “Reiki”. It can be used to describe the session, i.e., a “Reiki Treatment”, or to describe the person, i.e., “a Reiki”. It is used to describe energy, i.e.,“would you like some Reiki ”, or to explain a treatment, i.e., “Reiki healing”.
