REIKI, (rey-key)  Reiki is a Japanese technique discovered by Dr. Mikao Usui in the early 1900’s.  Today, this healing technique has found its way to the Western Hemisphere and has become an acceptable practice in hospitals, private clinics and personal application.  It is known to relax, reduce stress and is an effective promoter of healing. The word Reiki derives from two Japanese words, “Rei” and “Ki”.

The word “Rei” means Spiritual Wisdom, Universal or higher knowledge. This is the Wisdom that comes from God, the Higher Self, the ominiscience, meaning all-knowing.  The word “ki” means life energy.  It is the non-physical energy that exists in and animates through all living things.  Ki is the primary energy of our spiritual life, our thoughts, feelings and emotions.  A high healthy free flow of Ki helps to keep our health in balance.  Since electro-magnetic energy is part of our makeup, the level of our life energy plays an essential role to our well being.

In the practice of REIKI, the God-Consciousness of Rei guides the life energy of Ki to help bring balance and unblock our natural energies so our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies can operate more effectively.
