REIKI
Reiki is a Japanese healing technique developed in Japan in 1922. It is administered by “lying on hands”. The word Reiki is made up of two Japanese words; Rei – meaning “universal” and Kei – meaning “life force energy”.
We are alive because this “life force energy” is flowing through us. Life force energy flows within the physical body through pathways called chakras, meridians and nadis. It also flows around us in a field of energy called the aura. Life force energy nourishes the organs and cells of the body, supporting them in their vital function. When this flow of life force is disrupted, it causes diminished function in one or more of the organs and tissues of the physical body. 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 more easily maintain health and a feeling of well-being. One thing that disrupts and weakens the flow of the life force energy is stress. Medical research has determined that continual stress can block the body’s natural ability to repair, regenerate and protect itself. The American Institute of Stress estimates that 75%-95% of all visits to doctors are the results of reaction to stress. The effects of unreleased stress range from minor aches to major health concerns, such as heart disease, digestive disorders, respiratory and skin problems.
Reiki heals by flowing through the affected parts of the energy field and charging them with positive energy. It raises the vibratory level of the energy field in and around the physical body. Reiki is one of many forms of energy healing. Reiki can also be used as complementary therapy, because it complements and enhances the health care the patient receives in the hospital or form other health care providers. A treatment feels like warm gentle sunshine, which flows through you, surrounds you and brings comfort. Reiki treats the whole person, mind, body and spirit. Reiki is powerful, yet gentle and nurturing. The recipient remains fully clothed during the treatment.
Reiki is a holistic, natural hands on healing system which promotes deep relaxation, energy, health and releases emotions and anxiety. Reiki is of growing interest to chiropractors and medical doctors.
