What is Reiki?
Reiki is a Japanese technique for reducing stress and promoting relaxation and healing within the body and energy field. Reiki is administered by placing hands on or around the body with the intention of healing. It is based on the idea that we all have a “life force energy” that flows through and around us which keeps us alive. When our “life force energy” is low, it may be easier to become sick, stressed, and generally unwell. Reiki treats the entire person, mind, body, and spirit, and is a most beautiful experience, leaving us feeling relaxed, secure, peaceful, and energetically renewed. Reiki is a wonderful, natural way of healing that has a profound effect on any known ailment and anyone can use it. Everything is connected.
Who can practice?
Absolutely anyone can learn to practice Reiki. Reiki is not taught in a traditional way, but by one Reiki Master passing on the ability during an “attunement” to the student, allowing for the student to tap into an unlimited supply of “life force energy.” A Reiki practitioner, once “attuned” to Reiki can then choose to become a Second, Third, and Fourth Degree Practitioner (Reiki Master and Teacher.) All of these levels require “attunements”. Reiki can be practiced by anyone, of any background, age, race, or education. It is available to us all and is intended to improve one’s quality of life and improve the health of anyone seeking healing. The wonderful thing about Reiki is that you don’t even need to believe that it works for it to work. Reiki is not dependent on any belief system or religion. It is merely a way of living in harmony and peace.
Although it is not a religion, it is recommended that one still live and act in a way that promotes harmony with other beings. The founder of the Reiki System of Natural Healing, Mikao Usui, recommended that we practice certain simple ethical ideals to promote peace and harmony, which are nearly universal across all cultures.
What’s next?
One of the most beautiful things about building a Reiki practice is making it your own. There are no boundaries when it comes to Reiki. I have, over the years, really made my Reiki practice my own. I have added any number of healing modalities into my space of practice and evolved it into something I really can call my own personal practice of healing. I invite you to be open, and creative and learn all you can about the Natural Systems of Healing and incorporate anything you like into your personal practice. I use crystals, herbs, smudging, crystal singing bowls, and a lot more in my healing rooms for a wonderful experience for my clients and family. Explore the things that resonate with you and your practice and have fun! For more information about receiving a Reiki Treatment, or Learning Reiki yourself.
