WHAT IS REIKI?

This Japanese word (pronounced ‘Ray Kee’) is comprised of two parts: Rei (sacred/soul/spirit) and Ki (life-force energy). So Reiki is a form of healing which uses spiritual energy.

Rei represents the wisdom and knowledge of the Universe or the Divine Source. This is the sacred Higher Intelligence which understands the cause - and need for - all problems and difficulties, and how to heal them. 

Ki is the life force energy which flows through both animate things (plants, animals, people) and inanimate things (minerals, objects etc). 

Reiki energy flows through the entire bio-energetic system of the person being ‘healed’ - in other words through their emotional, mental and spiritual body as well as their physical body. It unblocks and re-balances the person from an energy perspective and thus helps them in their own self-healing process, which is the default setting of the entire body. It is a holistic therapy, promoting a sense of wholeness, harmony and well-being. 

I have been attuned to and trained in the healing practice of Usui Reiki Ryoho which is the spiritual energy healing method founded by a Japanese Buddhist priest called Dr Mikao Usui (1865-1926). After many years of study, Dr Usui discovered a way of accessing and using this healing energy and of passing this ability on to other people (via the so-called ‘attunement’ process).

It is a non-invasive, gentle, yet powerful and transformative form of healing if you allow your mind, body and spirit to be open to it. It can work both on specific health issues as well as in the broader positive flow of your life. 

Reiki is a beautiful very high vibrational energy which, in essence, is the purest form of light and unconditional, universal love. ♥️
