In short? Pronounced ray-key, Reiki is a Japanese stress reduction and relaxation technique. It's also considered an energy healing technique.
What does the word Reiki mean?
In Japanese Rei means spiritual wisdom. And Ki is similar to chi in Chinese, or prana in Sanskrit- it means life energy. Together, Rei and Ki become Reiki, or spiritually-guided life energy.
How does Reiki work?
Reiki can be given in-person with a light touch on the physical body or by hovering the hands above the physical body. Reiki can also be done as “distance reiki.” A special Reiki symbol helps send Reiki energy across time and space. Energetically, Reiki can work very deeply, even on a cellular level! Reiki is meant to transform physical ailments, emotional struggles, even past life traumas, and more! Some people say, “the Reiki goes wherever it is needed.” Unlike massage, Reiki does not physically go deep into the muscles. It does not even manipulate the skin or move it in any way. ***Reiki should not be used instead of seeking medical attention from a doctor, psychologist, or other health care professional. It is meant to complement these modalities, not replace them. Reiki works in harmony with other forms of healing.***
Who is Reiki for?
Reiki is for anyone who is interested in this alternative energy healing method! Adults, children, babies, pets, plants, situations, events, world peace... anyone or anything who is open to receiving Reiki can be given Reiki.
Is Reiki religious?
Although Reiki is spiritual, it is not a religion and does not require anyone to change their spiritual or religious beliefs to practice or receive Reiki.
Can Reiki ever be bad?
Reiki is always positive high-vibe energy. It's meant for the greatest good of the recipient and also gives positive energy to the practitioner. It cannot be channeled for negative intentions or evil. Reiki can only do good.
Unlock a new form of self-care in your life! Reiki encourages you to release tension, anxiety, fear, and other negative feelings.
