What is Reiki?
The Japanese word, Reiki (霊気), comes from the combination of the two letters ,Rei (霊) and Ki (気). Etymologically “Rei” refers to something beyond matter. It is often translated be as spirit or vitality. “Ki” means energy or an intangible element, that which permeates. It also alludes to attention and awareness.Thus Reiki(霊気) is often translated as a spiritual energy, vitality or life force.
How does Reiki work?
The Reiki healing system was established by Dr. Mikao Usui in Japan about a century ago. Since then this healing method has spread through over the world to restore physical health, mental wellbeing and spiritual connection.When our life is filled with vitality, we are in the optimal state of wellbeing. Physically we are healthy, we feel motivated, and we feel a sense of connection with other beings as well as ourselves. However, this state is often challenged by many different factors, such as illnesses, stress, busy lives, negative thoughts and emotional turmoils. Reiki healing is a remedy to regain the depleted energy and allow the person to return to the equilibrium in a subtle and non-invasive way. The Reiki treatment is not like a surgery or an instant miracle. The practitioners are not adding or removing something from the receivers. Indeed, it is a very simple act to reach their own innate ability to regain peace in the whole body-mind-soul system on it’s own time. This inner peace will help the receivers to face what’s in front of them and live their own life fully.
What is Reiki treatment like?
During a treatment session, recipients are requested to lay down while fully clothed. Typically, the practitioner will follow a series of hand placements on different parts of the body. Through hands-on treatment the flow of energy is experienced as a variety of sensations such as warming, tingling or cooling. Generally it allows you to relax deeply. Reiki is used to assist people with stress, anxiety, depressions, various illnesses and physical ailments as well as maintaining general wellbeing. Receiving Reiki is a great opportunity to take a moment to pause and replenish vitality. After the session, for those who are interested, I will share some helpful practice such as breathing exercise, self Reiki treatment or meditation to ensure the continuity of the benefit of Reiki treatment. The treatments are delivered in person at a premise in town. If you prefer to receive it in the comfort of your own home, the mobile service is available.
