Reiki clears, straightens and heals energy pathways, allowing life-force to flow in a healthy and natural way.
The word REI-KI (ray-kee) translates to mean Universal Life Energy. Many cultures and religions have always been aware of the existence of this basic life-force energy. The Chinese call it “Chi”, the Hindus “Prana”, and the Christians “Christ-Light”.
Ki (Life-Force) nourishes the cells and organs of our body, supporting them in their vital functions. As well it nourishes other areas of ourselves; such as the mental (mind), emotional, and spiritual bodies.
Our blood is channelled through our physical body via the pathways of our heart, arteries and veins. So too is Ki force channelled via “pathways” known as Chakras, Meridians and Nadis. It also flows around us in a field of energy called an “Aura”.
The balance, amount and quality of our Ki is influenced by a variety of things: air quality, food, stress, hereditary factors, environmental conditions, or simply by our negative feelings or thoughts. These create blockages to our natural flow of energy. When this flow is blocked, we become less vitalised and so feel depressed, run-down and fatigued. This can result in a state of dis-ease within the body which can then become a Physical disease or illness.
Reiki heals by flowing through affected parts of our energy field and charging it with positive energy. It raises the vibratory level of the energy field in, and around, the problem area causing the negative energy to break apart and fall away. In so doing, Reiki clears, straightens and heals the energy pathways, thus allowing the life-force to flow in a healthy and natural way.
Reiki adjusts itself to create this healing effect and every experience is individual. Most commonly felt during a treatment is a sense of peace and relaxation, often including a feeling of security and being enclosed in a fine sheath of energy.
The ancient healing method of Reiki was rediscovered over 150 years ago by Dr. Mikao Usui. His quest to find out how Jesus Christ and Buddha brought about healings took over 28 years. His research into ancient Buddhist sutras, expanded by prolonged meditation, gave him the keys to Reiki healing. This method has been passed down from Reiki Master to Reiki Master ever since.
Reiki produces such phenomenal relaxation that most people almost float out of their session. Reiki vitalises and rejuvenates the body, mind and spirit. Reiki is best scheduled into a less hectic part of the day, so that it’s benefits can be really enjoyed.
Reiki is so non-invasive and gentle that even animals and plants have been shown to respond very powerfully to it. Children especially benefit from Reiki and seem to be able to welcome it as a natural healing force.
Scientific studies have shown that receiving Reiki causes brainwaves to slow to the very valuable meditation level of 8-10 Hz. Reiki raises the oxygen levels in the blood by 30%, which stimulates and cleanses the whole system. Balances the bodies energies Loosens blocked energy Promotes a state of total relaxation Cleanses the body of toxins Supports the bodies natural ability to heal itself Functions on ALL levels – mental, emotional, spiritual and physical Re-establishes spiritual equilibrium and mental well-being Increases the vibrational frequency of the body
Reiki is usually channelled through the hands of the Reiki practitioner. Every person has the potential to channel Reiki. All that is usually required is fine tuning the body, heart and mind by a qualified Reiki Master, like fine tuning your T.V. for better reception.
A treatment involves a Reiki practitioner laying their hands on a person, in various positions, to channel Reiki energy. Reiki energy flows through clothes, towels, plaster casts, etc. Reiki is great for easing physical pain, emotional turmoil, and accelerating all forms of healing.
“Empower Yourself”:A weekend seminar designed to introduce and attune you to Reiki. After this weekend you can channel Reiki to yourself and give treatments to others. Discover the power that lays dormant within you.
“Express Yourself”:Another weekend course where the Reiki symbols are introduced that expand upon the understanding of energy. The concept of Absent Healing is also demonstrated. This level is concerned with the expressing of energy to the outside world.
These are available, on an appointment basis, to give a kick start to your energy system and enhance any other treatments, Reiki or otherwise. If the heart is in balance, then the healing soon follows.
