What is Reiki?

Reiki (ray-key) is a natural healing technique that feels like a flow of a high frequency of energy into and through a practitioner, and out the hands into another person

What can be treated or helped?

In oriental cultures, healing disciplines like Reiki may be applied to healthy people as a preventative method. However, Reiki may also be used to assist you in returning to a state of health. Reiki is both powerful and gentle. In its long history of use Reiki has aided in healing virtually every known illness and injury including serious problems like cancer and heart disease as well as skin problems, cuts, broken bones, headaches, colds, sunburn, insect bites, insomnia, lack of confidence, etc.

Reiki can also be used to relieve stress, to overcome unwanted habits, to achieve desired goals, and to protect from harm. Many Reiki practitioners have found that plants and animals also respond well to a Reiki session.

How does REIKI work?

Reiki is an amazing energy that comes from the highest spiritual source. It has its own intelligence and knows exactly where to go and what to do. It is multi-dimensional and will heal the cause of a problem on whatever level it may exist - body, mind, or spirit. It does not have to be directed by the practitioner. Because it is a channeled healing, the Reiki practitioner's energies are never depleted. In fact, when giving a treatment, the Reiki practitioner is healed as well and always experiences an increase in life-force energy. People that already do healing work report their healing energies increase by at least 50% after receiving Reiki training. The Reiki practitioner could stay in one place projecting the energy towards the person who is receiving it, yet typically moves around the body, starting with the recipient's head (just like watering the favourite flowers first). While the Reiki energy fills and surrounds the recipient's body with its gentle vibrations, there may be parts that require more balancing of energy (called energy blocks). The Reiki ray will focus more in those places. The potential end result is a balancing of all the energy in the body, and a balancing of other levels of the aura. In this way Reiki spreads into the emotional, mental and spiritual areas as well.
