Throughout human history, there have been healing methods that rely on the transmission of universal, all-pervading energy, the same energy that generates and maintains all life in the cosmos.

Any form of healing based on life force energy is referred to as "reiki" in Japan. Mikao Usui brought this age-old healing method back to life in Japan in the middle of the 20th century, and it is today gaining popularity all over the world.

Reiki is an entirely natural healing technique that speeds up the healing of the body, mind, and soul. Reiki healing sessions inherently promote balance, purpose, spiritual harmony, and overall health and well-being in both you and other people.

Reiki energy is closely associated with Universal Intelligence since it is intimately tied to the origin of the universe and human existence. This intelligence enables it to fully autonomously concentrate on the most critical areas of healing, effectively meeting the recipient's demands.

The word Reiki can be broken down into two component parts of "Rei" (pronounced 'ray') and "Ki" (pronounced 'key'). "Rei" literally means spirit, ghost, soul, in the heavens or of spirits; but also denotes universal energy. "Ki" also means spirit and, some argue, is essentially the Japanese equivalent of the Chinese description of "Chi", which means life force energy.

Therefore, the term "reiki" can be understood to mean universal life force energy that is in equilibrium. Its attributes provide the impression that it possesses a basic consciousness that, when applied to healing, can supply precisely what is required on all levels.

The closer we approach the basic form of this universal energy of life, the more comprehensive and effective it will become and the easier it will be to use.

The Usui style of Reiki is the most efficient means to transmit this universal life force, in addition to being the most straightforward and organic healing technique we are aware of. Once a person has been opened up to become a channel for Reiki, the energy flows through his hands of its own accord and he will retain this ability for the rest of his life.

In its most basic form, reiki is holistic. It reaches every level of existence and works to achieve equilibrium among these differing levels. The therapist is merely a conduit for this energy as, when he touches a person, a universal energy rather than his own, constrained energy flows through him, leaving him later invigorated and in harmony.

Additionally, reiki finds its way to the body part that needs healing. It appears to know where, how, and how much a patient requires without our ability to increase or decrease the effect it creates, which gives it a wisdom that beyond our own.

Reiki is in no way associated with spiritualism or the occult. It is not involved with hypnosis or any other psychological approach, nor does it have anything to do with summoning ghosts or demons. Reiki does not make one a "psycho conjurer" or "magician." Only a neutral yet concentrated kind of cosmic energy is used in Reiki treatments.

“The way to experience Reiki is to be still. For the inflow to be unobstructed, the vessel must be made empty. If there is inward stillness, ego, personal agendas, negative emotions, distracted thoughts and doubt will be neutralized, eventually allowing the soul-nature to manifest.”
