0.1

R e i k i i s...A HEALING TECHNIQUE BASED ON THE PRINCIPLE THAT THE THERAPIST CAN CHANNEL ENERGY INTO

THE PATIENT BY MEANS OF TOUCH, TO ACTIVATE NATURAL HEALING PROCESSES OF THE PATIENT'S

BODY AND RESTORE PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL-WELL BEING.

Reiki, pronounced ‘ray-key’, is a gentle and effective system of healing which activates the body’s

own natural ability to heal itself. As a natural healing system, it can benefit everyone, from young

babies to adults and is a safe, non-invasive treatment.

The Meaning

-The name Reiki originates from the Japanese words ‘rei’ meaning ‘universal’ and ‘ki’ meaning ‘energy’-

0.3

EnergyThis universal energy is channeled through the practitioner to the recipient and works on all levels of the mind, body, emotion and spirit, allowing for total harmony and balance to be restored.

Reiki can also promote self development, therefore allowing you to be at your optimum self, to deal with all aspects of life.

0.4

TeatmentTreatments with Reiki energy reduce stress within the body, thereby inducing a state of relaxation.

The body can then be allowed to begin the healing process. It is an extremely relaxing experience and the benefits are immediate.

All diseases and ailments can be helped with Reiki and it is safe to use in conjunction with other complementary therapies and conventional medical treatments.

Reiki produces a feeling of total well being and this has a very positive effect on the immune system.

0.5

TeachingsReiki is a very easy therapy to learn and as it has no religious connections or belief systems, it is available to

everyone who may wish to learn it.

0.6

UniversalEnergy therapies have been around for thousands of years.

Energy is called ‘ki’ in Japan.

In China energy is referred to as ‘qi’ or ‘chi’.

China and Japan both have exercise methods that are based on using this energy, Tai Chi, Chi Kung or QiGong.

In India, energy is called ‘prana’ and is used in the practice of Yoga.

EffectivenessSome people will say it works for them others don’t believe a lick of it, there is no scientific evidence showing that it works because there is no way to test it, you cannot test the healing energy of one person to another, i read one writer's experience, she previously had been limping and her skin itched from hives.

She went to her first appointment relying heavily of the faith it will indeed work and after her treatment this is what she said

“Over the next few days, without giving further thought to the reiki treatment, I grew aware of three improvements in my general well-being. My mood was brighter, my knee now no longer hurt and my

skin, which is prone to urticaria (chronic hives), remained smooth,although it flared up again a couple of months later. In an email, Angela commented: ‘I generally find, with this type of subtle work, that the

body also heals subtly. In each session, the individual’s energy level is raised to a higher vibration,which then gradually affects the person as a whole.”-Writer Patricia Pearson BY BEST HEALTH
