'Show gratitude to every living thing'
Reiki is a healing modality which utilises universal life energy - 'Reiki'. It is a safe, gentle, non-invasive form of hands-on healing that increases energy, reduces pain, produces deep relaxation and a general feeling of well-being.
Reiki is a completely natural and perfectly safe system of healing which can never do harm as the receiver is taking what is required.
Reiki is a connection between you and the Universal Light or Life Energy. Whether you wish to call that light God, or your Higher Self, or The Great Spirit or simply the pulse and rhythm of nature, doesn’t matter. The point is that you will be more connected than ever before and the energy will enhance your vision and create more balance within you.
It is also the same energy known to many ancient civilizations, by many names, including Ch'i (Chinese), Prana (Hindu and Yoga), Fluid of Life (Alchemists).
Although this energy is present everywhere, imbalances can and do occur. When they occur in the human body the results may include stress, inability to concentrate, depression and physical disease. In short, areas become dis-eased and imbalanced. Reiki heals by moving through our personal energy fields and charging them with positive energy. In doing so, it raises the vibratory level of our energy and causes the negative thoughts and feelings to break away. Reiki clears, heals and straightens the energy pathways, correcting dis-ease and imbalances. The physical body's natural healing processes are encouraged to function and are increased in effectiveness. Energy is therefore allowed to again flow through the body in a healthy and natural way.
