WHAT IS REIKI?

Reiki (pronounced Ray Key) is an ancient healing therapy. Mikao Usui, a devout Japanese Buddhist, reignited interest and practice of this therapy in the late 1800s. "Reiki" is a Japanese word for the concept: "Universal Life Energy" and is the same as what the Chinese refer to as 'Chi' and the Indians refer to as 'Prana' . Reiki is open to everyone and is not associated with any particular personal philosophy and/or spiritual belief system. It is a powerful tool that kickstarts and facilitates the body's own healing process.

A Reiki treatment restores balance and harmony to the whole person, bringing about a sense of wellness.

Reiki can relieve pain and acute problems quite rapidly, it is usually recommended to try 4 consequtive sessions in such a situation. Whatever manifests itself physically usually also has components on the emotional, mental, and spiritual levels. Reiki honors the ecology of the person by working on all these levels. Reiki goes beyond the symptoms to treat the root cause of the disease. When we treat only the symptoms, we do not always get to the true basis of the illness.

How Reiki Works
Coming for a reiki session is a wonderful treat for the mind, body and spirit.

Reiki will always go the area within the individual where it is most needed. That could be on a physical, emotional, spiritual or psychological level. It is drawn from the givers hands by the receiver, who will take as much or as little as is required at that time. You cannot give or take too much.

Reiki is non-draining because the giver is merely a channel; it is not ours to give! Therefore the giver is not using their own vital energy. An added bonus is that the giver will also receive a small amount

Principals of Reiki
Dr Usui realised that reiki was not just about healing others, but rather creating the right environment for them to heal themselves. When initiated into reiki there are guidelines that are taught, if these are adopted they can promote healing and awareness on many levels.

JUST FOR TODAY DO NOT ANGER
Anger is an emotion that is experienced because of the past; it can often be suppressed and carried through life. This principal does not say do not anger tomorrow, but rather just for today - choose to let your anger go, live in the now not the pass.

JUST FOR TODAY DO NOT WORRY
Worry is related to perceptions of the future - the what if's of the world, what if it will/will not happen. What purpose does this serve? Why worry about that which has not and probably won't happen, live in the now not the future.

HONOUR YOUR PARENTS, TEACHERS AND ELDERS
There are many who believe that before we incarnate we choose our parents and our siblings and our experiences, these are to help us with our learning. If we do honour our choice then it is the self that is being denied. Live in the now and appreciate.

EARN YOUR LIVING HONESTLY
Again we have chosen our path in advance according to the lessons required by the soul, this includes our work. To honour brings satisfaction, value and respect of what one does today, not yesterday, not tomorrow, but today.

SHOW GRATITUDE TO EVERY LIVING THING
We are all part of a whole, not better, not lesser, but a part of. At a soul level we are all linked, we are all one. Any cruelty, be it towards another human, an animal, a plant or even a thought form, is showing cruelty to oneself and to all-else that exists.

REIKI is not just another healing method, it is a way of life, it is about understanding and living by these principals, if everyone did this, we would have a peaceful world. Try choosing one each day and live by it, understand it's meaning, implication and place in your life.
