What is Reiki
As defined by the International Center for Reiki :
Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by the “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. If one’s “life force energy” is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.
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.” So Reiki is actually “spiritually guided life force energy.”
While often utilized by body workers and other types of ‘healers,’ Reiki can be of benefit to absolutely everyone. It is a unique in that it can be used for self-healing exclusively or in the treatment of others. Today it is widely being used in hospitals and hospice care. It has been widely shown to be effective in helping virtually every known illness and malady. It works in harmony with traditional medicine and can help to promote recovery, relieve side-effects and expedite healing.
