What is Reiki? R = means Universal life energy ei = describes the Universe, boundless aspect of this energy ki = means vital life force energy which flows through all living things What does Reiki do? Reiki reaches all levels of existence and assists to bring these differing levels into a state of balance. The Reiki practitioner is a channel for this healing energy. Energy flowing through this channel leaves all particpants energised, strengthened and harmonised afterwards. The Reiki practitioner does not heal the recipient, only the recipient can do this for themselves. The Reiki practitioner merely channels the energy to facilitate the healing. Reiki makes its own way to areas of the body in need and can help us to find our way back to health and wholeness. Reiki can be practised with hands on or off the physical body, depending on the requirements of the recipient. Who can receive Reiki? Anyone can receive Reiki - it is pure healing energy from the Divine, Source, God, Universe or whomever you believe to be the source of all that is. With pure intent, no harm can come to anyone receiving Reiki. It is relaxing to give and receive and can bring about a tremendous sense of well-being and connection to your 'self'- thus allowing the beginning of a deep sense of knowing and understanding your true 'self'.
