Reiki is a form of hands-on healing that transforms and heals the body, mind and emotions. It increases vitality and enables the body to heal itself. It is the Universal energy that the practitioner transmits to the client by use of symbols that the practitioner has been attuned to. (An attunement is a ceremony used to align the energy for use in healing.) The practitioner does not transmit his/her own energy. By laying their hands on or slightly above the chakras and organs of the body, the Reiki practitioner transmits this Universal energy to the client. Reiki is an intelligent energy that comes from God/Universe (however you perceive it). With the attunements we have a greater capacity to use this wonderful energy for the good of all. Reiki energy will direct itself to where it is need most, to relieve imbalance and the cause of dis-ease that the client is experiencing. Reiki can heal the physical body by working on the cause of the illness. It promotes the qualities of love and compassion. It will not interfere with medical treatments but rather enhance them to bring optimal healing. Reiki is good for all living things. I can never harm and is perfectly safe to use in any situation.
The known origin of Reiki goes back to a Buddhist, Dr Mikao Usui, who lived in Japan. Dr Usui founded the Reiki system of healing in the late 19th century and began actively teaching in the 1920’s. He kept his teachings of Reiki very exclusive and it wasn’t until after his death that Mrs Takata, a student of his, took the teachings to the west. Reiki became very popular the world over in the 1970’s
Today there are many styles of Reiki being taught. Originally the teachings were oral and no manuals were allowed. This resulted in teachers adding their own aspects and techniques into their teaching and the origina was changed a little. This does not dilute the original or make it invalid; all healing energy is Divine energy and can only be used for the good of all concerned. The original teachings of Dr Usui were rediscovered when his memorial was found in the early 1970’s. This has enhanced modern teachings of Reiki as many forgotten techniques were re-introduced.
