What is Reiki and What are the Benefits?
Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation, which also promotes healing. Reiki is, “hands on healing,” and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy," flows through us and is the foundation for us to be alive. If one's energy is low, then you are likely to feel stress and become ill. When your energy is high, life is lived with a greater passion and you are healthy and happy.
The word Reiki derives from Japan. Rei, which means, "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power," and Ki, which is "life force energy". So, Reiki is actually "spiritually guided life force energy."
Reiki treats the complete body, emotions, mind and spirit, generating beneficial effects, which include relaxation, feelings of peace, security and wellbeing. Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that anyone can use. It has been effective in helping virtually every known illness, creating a beneficial result. It also works in conjunction with other medical or therapeutic techniques to reduce side effects and help to promote recovery.
People find that Reiki can provide a greater awareness with the experience of their religion rather than having only an intellectual concept of it. While Reiki is not a religion, it is still important to live and act in a way that promotes harmony with others. Reiki founder, Mikao Usui, praised the practice of simple ethical ideals to promote peace and harmony, which are practically universal across all cultures.
