ABOUT REIKI

REIKI -- is made up of two Japanese Words/Symbols they are:
REI and KI.
REI (ray), means universal life energy;
KI(kee), means personal life energy.

Reiki Practitioners use light hand placements to channel energy to the recipient. The goal is to balance and enhance the individual’s energy to promote optimum health. Reiki is an ancient healing art which was re-discovered in the late 1800s by Mikao Usui.

Usui attuned 16 Reiki Masters, among them Dr.Hayashi, who had a large clinic in Hawaii. Mrs. Takata came to the clinic to be healed from physical and emotional dis-eases. She stayed to learn about Reiki, and became a Reiki Master attuned by Hayashi. He told Mrs. Takata that there was a great war coming in the near future. He did not want Reiki to be lost again during the war. Hayashi sent Mrs. Takata to the United States in 1938 to teach Reiki. She attuned 22 Reiki Masters. It is said that she never taught a class the same way twice.

Who may benefit from Reiki? Reiki can be used as an adjunct treatment for chronic or acute pain. Informal studies have found Reiki to be effective in reducing post surgical pain, stress, depression, chronic pain, cravings, and much more.

Only now, as we enter the 21st Century, are controlled studies being done on Reiki and other Therapeutic Touch Therapies.

Reiki is often practiced by nurses. These nurses use Reiki to work with hospital patients along with traditional medicine.

In many hospitals, Reiki is offered to preoperative patients to relieve their stress levels.

Reiki may speed wound healing -- in a hospital setting as well as other emergency situations.

What to expect – A typical Reiki session lasts about one hour. Prices vary from $30,00 to $75.00 for a treatment in this area.

The client remains clothed, and lies on a padded table. The practitioner gently places both hands, palms down, on a sequence of approximately 12 positions on the body, in order to channel energy to those areas.

The client may experience this transfer of energy as heat, cold, tingling, vibration, and may see colors or other things during the treatment. The practitioner typically begins at the client’s head and works down to the feet. The client is then asked to turn over so as to treat the other side of the body. It is useful for a practitioner to have a reiki table to treat clients, although Reiki treatments may be done on a sofa, or with the recipient seated in a chair.

Reiki treatments can be performed in any setting comfortable to client and practitioner. I have performed reiki treatments in a river, and on the floor.

Reiki treatments and hand positions may vary according to a client’s needs. As a practitioner becomes more familiar with the energy, she may intuitively know where to place her hands, or even find her hands moving during the treatment without her intention to change positions.

A Reiki Practitioner is a healer who has been trained and received a hands-on attunement from a Reiki Master/Teacher. Reiki is a mind/body/spirit intervention, and therefore treats the entire person.

There are so many different forms of healing in use today, some of them using the word “Reiki” as part of their name, that it is easy to get confused. Is what you are being offered really Reiki? The following four things are unique to the Reiki Healing system.

1.) The Attunement. The ability to give reiki healing treatments is obtained only by a hands-on attunement from a Reiki Master. This is the only way the Reiki energy can be activated.

2.) The lineage. All Reiki healing methods are part of a system that is passed from Master to Student back to the founder of the system.

3.) Spiritually guided. Reiki does not require the practitioner to guide the healing with her mind. The practitioner is a vessel for the energy that is received through the universal spiritual power.

4.) Harmless. Reiki is guided by higher power. There is no way Reiki can harm the recipient or the practitioner.

I have never refused anyone Training or Treatment due to their financial situation.
