REIKI

Reiki is dedicated to the natural healing of the Mind, Body and Spirit. It balances the flow of energy, releases blocked energy and provides healing.

The knowledge that an unseen energy flows through all living things and is connected directly to the quality of health has been part of the wisdom of many cultures since ancient times. The existence of this "life force energy" has been verified by recent scientific experiments, and medical doctors are considering the role it plays in the functioning of the immune system and the healing process.

The word Reiki means Universal Life Energy. The word consists of two parts, Rei, which describes the universal aspect of this energy while Ki, is the life force energy which flows through all living beings. This life force energy is the nonphysical energy that animates all living things. As long as something is alive, it has life force circulating through it and surrounding it; when it dies, the life force departs. If your life force is low, or if there is a restriction in its flow, you will be more vulnerable to stress/illness and general imbalances. When your life force energy is high, and flowing freely, you are less likely to get sick and you will have free flowing, balanced energy levels. Life force plays an important role in everything we do. It not only animates the body, but is also the primary energy of our emotions, thoughts and spiritual life.

REIKI CERTIFICATION - An amazingly simple technique to learn, the ability to use Reiki is not taught in the usual sense, but is transferred to the student by the Reiki Master. Its use is not dependent on ones intellectual capacity or spiritual development and, therefore, is available to everyone. Once a Reiki Master, attunements, distance healing and Reiki certification courses are yours to share with the world. A Reiki lesson, including an attunement lasts approximately 1 ½ hours. Master level can be attained after the third lesson/attunement.

The first lesson (Reiki Level I) will introduce the student to the basic concepts of Reiki and will include an attunement. The second lesson (Reiki Level II) will introduce most of the Reiki symbols and the second level attunement. And, finally, the Reiki Master lesson will introduce the Master symbol, distance healing and the Master level attunement.

REIKI ATTUNEMENTS - The "attunement" given by a Reiki teacher to a new student is a fairly simply process. Ideally it is given in an atmosphere of reverence. The process involves the teacher opening up the student's crown chakra (or the energy center at the top of the head), and the chakras in the palms of the hands. An energy channel is then created between the crown chakra and the chakra's in the palms. Once this is done, the channel is then "attuned" to Reiki energy. From this point on, the simple intention of channeling Reiki energy will cause this channel to open, allowing Reiki energy to flow into the top of the head and out through the palms.

Reiki Attunements are not easily descrtibed, but can be compared to tuning a radio. The first attnement can be compared to finding a station amongst the static. The second attunement brings the station in clearer. The Master Attunement brings the station in perfectly, leaving the channel loud, clear and static-free.

The word chakra is Sanskrit for 'wheel' or 'disk' and signifies one of seven basic energy justifys in the body. Each of these justifys correlates to major nerves branching forth from the spinal column.

Reiki (Pronounced ray-key) is a laying-on of hands healing technique thousands of years old. It is thought to have originated as a Tibetan Buddhist practice that was re-discovered in the late 1800's by Dr. Mikao Usui, a Japanese Buddhist. It is a very simple yet powerful technique that can be easily learned by anyone. Reiki is a Japanese phrase combining two words Rei meaning life and Ki meaning energy.

Reiki is a non invasive natural healing method that uses the hands of a healer to channel energy to another person. It has been practiced for thousands of years.

Reiki has been with us for thousands of years. It was re-introduced to us in the 1800s by Dr. Mikao Usui who passed on this wonderful gift. The system of Reiki Healing is probably the most simple and natural method of healing known.

Reiki is a holistic -wholeness of body- form of healing which means that it will heal on a mental, physical, spiritual and emotional level. The energy will go to the area where it is most needed first.
