What is Reiki?
Reiki is an ancient art of natural healing rediscovered in Japan over one hundred years ago.
What is described as Reiki - the Usui System of Natural Healing can be defined as follows:
-
It is a gentle, but powerful 'hands-on' technique, which brings wholeness to both recipient and giver
-
It restores the natural balance in the body
-
It provides deep relaxation, thus evoking a sense of peace and well-being
-
It works on the emotions, mind and spirit as well as the physical body
-
It complements - but does not substitiute - the healing properties of all modalities including orthodox medical treatment, natural therapies, massage, psychotherapy etc
-
It can be given in conjunction with any other treatment
-
It is not intrusive, since the Reiki energy will pass through clothing, bandages, braces, plaster casts, etc, so that no disrobing is necessary
-
It has no connection with any religion, cult, dogma, or special belief system and does not involve hypnosis or massage
-
The technique can be used not only on people, but also on animals and plants
-
To benefit from Reiki you need only be open and willing to receive the energy. Everyone can learn it.
