Reiki Introduction

Reiki Healing directs spiritually-guided, life force energy through a Reiki Master or Reiki Practitioner to the recipient as they relax on a Reiki table in a state of meditation. Traditionally, this describes a Reiki session in general. Reiki can be given anytime, anywhere, to anyone or anything in the same room or another place; state or country.

“Rei” pronounced “ray” means: spiritually guided wisdom - “Ki” pronounced “key” means: life-force energy. Reiki in Japanese is the combination of the two words. The energy used in Reiki or the “Reiki Energy” allows the body to heal and balance itself by changing or shifting the energy flow in the body.

Reiki consists of several meditations, techniques, symbols, traditionally taught in levels along with Reiki Principles. Learning and practicing Reiki is a personal commitment, some may be interested in Reiki for their daily personal practice for themselves and their family. Others may choose to move on to higher levels of attunements becoming a Reiki Master Teacher. Reiki is very personal and should be treated with honor and respect when you are tapping into the energy and assisting others as well. Learning Reiki at any level will enable you to enhance your health and well being, mentally, spiritually and physically.

Reiki is not associated with any religious method or religious teachings from the eastern cultures. The founder, Dr Usui said that his methods and realizations for Reiki came from a mystical experience that he had when he was on Mt. Kurama, Japan. Reiki moved to the western territories in the mid – 1900’s, with Usui Reiki teachings as the main guide. By studying the energies and Chakras in which Dr. Usui introduced, students were able to develop skills and practice Reiki.

Understanding energy “life-force”, vibrations, intuition, intention and how your thoughts affect you, is a great foundation for the practice of Reiki. To be attuned to the Reiki Energy and implementing the five Reiki Principles is only a part of the process. The understanding, practice and experience are key. As in any sport, new job, learning the computer or that new cell phone – it takes knowledge, understanding and practice for it to become “second-nature”, it is a process, a true gift you can give yourself and share with others for a lifetime.

Learning the Reiki Principles is the first step to becoming a Reiki student. The principles are used as guidelines. By living the principles to be part of your life and practice you can use Reiki for spiritual, emotional and mental healing.

The next step to learning Reiki, level one and two will teach the basics when using the energy as a healing method. You will learn meditation, technique, hand positions, symbols- their meaning and the conditions in which you should use the symbols. You will go through the attunement process and learn how to find inner energies and blockages, clear chakras, and how to increase your awareness and consciousness in relation to the energies.

You will then learn how Reiki heals, it’s benefits, how a treatment is given, received, the purpose of Reiki and how it brings balance, harmony and healing to your life. You will be able to enhance the health of your body and enable your own levels of healing along with sharing and promoting the healing process with others as well.

You may prefer to take a class or learn and self-attune to Reiki through your own study. Either way the foundation of learning and practicing Reiki is vital. I always focus and teach the understanding of energy, intention, thoughts, meditation, discipline, Chakras, the meaning and use of each attunement, the symbols and principles of Reiki practices.
