Reiki
What is Reiki?
Reiki is a technique in which healing energy flows from the hands of a giver to the receiver. The giver becomes a conduit for Universal Life Force Energy or Chi. Understanding of Reiki, its traditions, principles, history, methodology, and attunements to the Reiki energy are best obtained by working with a Reiki Master, one who has been trained and attuned to pass on the energy and its learnings.
Reiki is one of the more widely known forms of energy healing. Energy Healing involves direct application of Chi for the purpose of strengthening the clients energy system. Chi is the term used by the Chinese mystics and martial artists for the underlying force the Universe is made of.
A Reiki healing is performed very simply. The giver places his or her hands upon the person to be healed with the intent for healing to occur; the energy simply begins flowing. The energy knows where to go, and what to do once it gets there, or else is being directed by a higher intelligence. The energy manages its own flow to and within the recipient. It draws through the reiki practioner exactly the amount of energy which the recipient needs. All this happens without direct conscious intervention by the practioner. The practioners job is to get out of the way and allow the energy to flow while the receiver heals himself.
