Reiki History - The correct way to pronounce Reiki is " ray - key".
Reiki is actually made up of two Japanese words REI
meaning "Universal"or "Spiritual" and KI meaning "Energy". Reiki
History.

Reiki is an ancient healing art that Mikao Usui rediscovered in the
early nineteenth century. Reiki has been passed down from Mikao Usui
ever since through a series of attunements passed on from a Reiki
Teacher to student.  Reiki is a healing system that works with  the
energy systems within the body.

Reiki is suitable for anyone regardless of their faith and is
suitable for animals as well as humans.

There are many forms of Reiki - Usui, Tibetan, Shamballa, Elemental,
Kundalini etc etc., each having slightly different techniques and
symbols although the end goal is the same.

Reiki follows these principles :

·         Just for today, I will not anger

·         Just for today, I will not worry

·         Just for today, I will do my work honestly

·         Just for today, I will give thanks for my many blessings

·         Just for today, I will be kind to my neighbour and every
living thing

Reiki works on the body's natural ability to heal itself, finding
it's way to where it is needed. Working on a holistic and spiritual
level it releases blocked energies, encourages toxins to be
discarded from the body and creating a state of balance.

Reiki is a very therapeutic treatment to receive - clients often
fall asleep during the treatment and feel energised afterwards.
Reiki can be used to help with lots of illnesses - depression,
anxiety, mood swings, insomnia, aches and pains and lack of energy.

To receive Reiki most people lie down on a treatment table, or you
can receive it sitting on a chair, and the practitioner will place
his hands on or just above certain points on your body - starting
over your eyes, ears, back of head and then the throat.

Moving down the positions over the heart area, below chest, above
naval, over the knees and then the feet.  You may be asked to turn
over so that the back can be treated but this can depend on what is
needed.  Each position is held for 3 - 5 minutes, sometimes longer
if required.

A deep level of relaxation is usually reached during a Reiki
treatment. Often clients will feel heat or cold from the
practitioners hands, tingling in arms and legs or sometimes nothing
at all.

Sensations are different from person to person and treatment to
treatment.  It is recommended to have 2 or 3 Reiki treatments over a
period of say 2 to 3 weeks to gain the maximum benefit from Reiki.

Another Great way of receiving reiki is to use the symbols that you
receive after being attuned and sending these healing vibrational
symbols to clients at a distance or meditating for 30 minute
sessions, channeling the reiki energy directly to your clients at a
distance.

 Animals also respond well to Reiki.  Dogs, Cats, Guinea Pigs, Birds
and Fish all accept Reiki and benefit from it. Animals tend to need
a shorter treatment and will move away when they have had enough.
They soon come back for more though when they need it!!!

 Plants also respond well to Reiki - anything living will benefit
and Reiki can do no harm.

 Reiki is a wonderful method of healing that is non intrusive and
very relaxing and calming.  It also has a wonderful strengthening
effect on your auric field. Try it for yourself, you may be
pleasantly surprised.
