Reiki pronounced (Ray-Key) is a Japanese word meaning Universal Life energy, an energy which is all around us. Reiki, when activated and applied for purposes of healing, addresses body mind and spirit. It accelerates the bodies’ ability to heal physical ailments and opens the mind and spirit to the causes of pain, and the necessity for taking responsibility for one’s life. The Usui System of Reiki is a natural form of healing. Reiki classes are open to anyone and no special abilities are required. Children from about the age of 7 can take a class provided one parent has Reiki.
Reiki is a gentle yet powerful form of hands-on healing that can help to restore balance and harmony to the mind and body. Used throughout the world by people of all creeds and belief systems, Reiki is something that can benefit everyone.
The energy involved in Reiki healing is the universal energy that surrounds all life. You cannot see this energy as it operates on a frequency that is too fast for the naked eye to see, yet Reiki energy flows freely through you when you are open to receive it.
Reiki has proved to be of great benefit for a broad range of conditions. It is used to complement conventional therapies in hospitals across the world. Reiki is effective in calming the mind and has helped many with anxiety and depression. The emotional storms that often accompany the ups and downs of life can be eased when this energy is applied. People with low self-esteem and poor self-confidence have also noted remarkable differences following treatment.
