Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is a Japanese word meaning "universal life energy." This life force energy can be defined as energy in
all created matter. "Ki" is similar in thought to "chi" or "qi" in Chinese medicine, Hindu "prana" and Christian "light." Reiki is
hands-on energy healing where the practitioner serves as an open channel for transmitting the "ki" to others. The energy is
channeled through the hands to the client, which activates the body's own natural ability to heal itself. Reiki goes to wherever it is
needed most, releasing blocked energies, cleansing the body of toxins, working to create a state of balance and harmony, and
promoting relaxation and healing.
Reiki practitioners, with a centered intent to help the client achieve relaxation, reduce pain and/or anxiety, use their hands to
direct healing energy. The practitioner's intent is to support the healing process from a conscious and compassionate state. The
client, to benefit, must have the willingness to (change) that which is to be helped. Light touch is used on, or above the client's
fully-clothed body. Shoes can be removed for added comfort.
Reiki practitioners channel energy in a particular pattern to heal and harmonize. Unlike other healing therapies based on the
premise of a human energy field, reiki seeks to restore order to the body whose vital energy has become unbalanced.
Reiki energy has several basic effects: it brings about deep relaxation, destroys energy blockages, detoxifies the system,
provides new vitality in the form of healing universal life energy, and increases the vibrational frequency of the body.
The laying of hands is used in Reiki therapy also as in spiritual healing. There is a difference though. In spiritual healing, a person
with a strong energy field places his or her hands above a particular part of the recipient's body in order to release energy into
it. So, here the healer is the one who is sending out the energy. In Reiki, however, the healer places the hands above the recipient;
however, it is the recipient that draws the energy as needed. Thus, in this case, the individual being healed takes an active part in
the healing process as opposed to having a passive part in spiritual healing. The individual takes responsibility for his or her
healing. The recipient identifies the needs and cater to them by drawing energy as needed.
Although there are a few positions in which the practitioner is in contact with the patient (such as cradling the head), most reiki
treatments do not involve actual touching. The practitioner holds his or her hands a few inches or farther away from the patient's
body and manipulates the energy field from there.
Those who learn Reiki and ascend to the Master and/or Master Teacher level are entrusted with the tools to help them help others
to heal. An initiation is not absolutely essential but it allows the individual access to the universal life energy, which is used
rather than their own life energy. Also, an initiation conveys a greater capacity for using reiki energy, with no associated
tiredness and further, it provides a protective mechanism against any negative manifestations
