What is Reiki Healing?
Reiki is Japanese in origin. It was discovered and developed by Dr. Mikao Usui in the 1920’s. Dr Usui came from a wealthy Buddhist family and was well educated. He studied in a Buddhist monastery where he excelled in martial arts, Chi Kung and swordsmanship. He also excelled in his academic studies. Throughout his career Dr. Usui placed a special interest in medicine, psychology and theology. He especially had interest in being able to heal himself and others by way of the hands.
This wisdom of Reiki came to Dr. Usui after a 21-day sadhana on Mount Kurama. There he practiced spiritual discipline; meditation, prayer and fasting. On the morning of the 21st day, Dr. Usui saw ancient Sanskrit symbols. These symbols he was told were to be used with the “laying of the hands” for Reiki.
The word “rei” means God’s wisdom and “Ki” means life force energy. Reiki can be translated as spirituality guided life force energy. The life force energy known as prana is carried within the breath when you breathe.
Prana in ancient texts is life itself. It has powerful healing for all aspects of your body – Mental, Physical and Spiritual. It brings into balance the energy fields around the body and within the body. These energy fields are called auras or five koshas.
An aura is a collection of electro-magnetic energies of varying densities which are exiting from the physical, mental and spiritual self.
In India the five Kosas (Pronounced kosha) are like five layers around encompassing the physical body:
Before sickness is present in the physical body, be sure to know it was already present in the body’s varied energy fields.
Reiki is a form of energy healing that involves the practitioner bringing into awareness the scared Reiki symbols. It starts with the client lying on a table as if for a massage. Unlike a massage, the clothing stays on.
When the Reiki symbols can be felt within and in the surrounding energy field the practitioner lays his/her hands on the client, either touching lightly or not touching at all. Specific energy points throughout the body are activated from the head to the toes. Reiki can also be done as a long-distance healing through prayer and meditation.
The transfer of Reiki energy is from the cosmos to the practitioner then to the client. The practitioner’s body is used as a vessel to transport this natural life energy. It is essential that your practitioner has a balanced mental, physical and spiritual health.
Life energy is crucial to our state of being. Life energy enters the body at birth and exits the body at death. Life energy does not die when the body dies. Energy is a continuous flow. When energy is low and blocked (moving extremely slowly) you are more likely to feel sick and unhappy compared with, when energy is high and flowing you are more likely to feel healthy and happy.
Reiki clears blocks and stagnation of energy creating an overall improved health. Blocked energy is seen and felt in the form of:

Reiki is not a religion, dogma, black magic etc. There is nothing you need to subscribe to in order to have a session. Reiki is a centuries old healing that believes that the unseen life force energy or prana, is the life itself in and around all living and non-living aspects of this cosmos.
Side Effects of Reiki: some people have reported to have had the following side effects after Reiki. This is usually due to the transformation of the body. Energy is from the level of electrons, protons and neutrons. Such deep healing may cause parts of the body to release blockages in the form of:
Increased tiredness
Headache
Stomach
This is not a common occurrence.
