Reiki (pronounced -ray-kee)
means 'Universal Life Force'. It is a system of healing which
is believed to have originated in Tibet thousands of years
ago. It accesses universal life force energy. Rediscovered
in Japan in the nineteenth century by Mikao Usui, a theologian,
who was researching the healing powers of both Jesus and the
Buddha. The technique was revealed to him after 21 day of
meditation in a vision and then he passed it on to his pupils.
One of them was Chujiro Hayashi, who established a Reiki clinic
in Tokyo and formalized the teaching of Reiki. There are now
thousands of practitioners worldwide
and it's still growing!
Reiki is a technique of a very gentle, healing and loving
touch provides optimum relaxation to help heal, balance and
revitalize the mind, body and spirit. The Reiki session usually
takes an hour, however, shorter sessions such as half an hour
will have noticeable benefit as well. During a Reiki session
the practitioner holds their hands on, or just away from,
the recipient's body. Reiki uses symbols, hand positions,
mental intension, loving heart to connect the person to 'divine
light'/ 'divine energy'/ 'universal life-force energy' for
the purpose of healing and renewal. It awaken healing ability
