Reiki is a system of hands-on
healing. Originating in Tibet, later to surface with Dr Mikao Usui in Japan, it was brought to the west by
Mrs Takata who had been one of Dr Usui's students. This was around the time of the second world war.
There are many web sites that can give you the full Reiki history. Some stories have changed
with time. My advice is to read and make up your own mind as to what you feel is right.
Reiki is pronounced
Ray - Key, and means, Universal Life Energy.
The Reiki
practitioner has learnt how to channel and use universal life energy to heal and bring about well being.
Universal energy is all around us. The biggest giver we recognise is our own Sun, giving warmth and light, as well
as the Moon with it's effect on our tides. Wind, rain, fire - and all movement and change - create energy:
We to have an energy system.
Trees change harmful toxins into beneficial substances. Other harmful
elements in the ground and water table also change as our trees feed - these are massive energy changes. Science
has told us that every thing is made up of atoms and molecules and when they move they create energy which is throughout our
universe.
Your Practitioner will have studied and found many
Reiki techniques to help with different problems. By channelling the universal life force energy, the practitioner passes
it to the client for the body and mind to use as needed. It can show where many problem lie and help to bring about
a state of relaxation and calm; help with healing and find balance - like the trees changing negative energy into positive
energy.
