What is Reiki?

"Reiki" is a Japanese term:  Rei-universal or spiritually-guided; ki-life force energy. 

Universal or spiritually guided life force energy.

Reiki is a very gentle, subtle and calming energy therapy appropriate for treating a variety of symptoms and issues.  I like to think of it as "energetic valium".  It can reduce stress and anxiety while increasing feelings of peace and well-being, but without the addiction danger of a tranquilizing drug.  Reiki addresses the whole person: body, mind and spirit.  Symptoms of physical discomfort are often eased as a result of its energy-balancing effects.  Reiki treatments may foster creative insights and attitude changes, in addition to enhancing or promoting the healing of emotional issues.  Many clients report feeling very loved or being "held in love" during sessions. 

Reiki as a healing system was rediscovered and developed by spiritual seeker, Makao Usui, in Japan in 1922.  Reiki, the energy, is timeless and has been referenced in 2500 year-old sutras.

According to James L. Oschman, PhD and author of Energy Medicine, living tissues are made up of semiconductor materials and they form sophisticated electronic circuits.  A practitioner's hands emit measurable ELF (extremely low frequency) electro-magnetic signals that can induce current flows in the tissues and cells of the recipient.  Oschman contends that energy therapies such as Reiki work by opening up the channels that enable cells in the body to communicate with each other, and opening up the terrain so cells can migrate to where they are needed to initiate repair.

A certified Reiki practitioner receives training and an attunement from a certified Reiki Master Teacher.  During the attunement the teacher uses an energy transmission process to open the student practitioner up to a greater flow of energy.  There are four levels of training and attunements with Reiki Master Teacher being the fourth and highest level.  I hold a level 3 Master Practitioner Certificate and have received additional training and attunements beyond this.
