REIKI

Reiki is the Japanese word for Universal Life Force Energy. When the ‘Rei’ and ‘Ki’ are broken down into their two component parts, the Kanji (Japanese alphabet) definition for Rei is universal, transcendental spirit, mysterious power, essence. Ki is described as the vital life force energy, very similar to the Chi of Chinese acupuncture, Light to Christians, and Bioplasmic Energy to Russian researchers.

Reiki is not a religion, as it holds no creed or doctrine. Indeed, it is a very ancient science hidden for thousands of years, until Dr. Usui rediscovered this very old “technology” hidden in the Tibetan Sutras. Researchers at Stanford, using highly sensitive instruments, which measure the flow of energy forces entering the body, determined that Reiki energy enters the healer through the top of the head (or crown chakra) and exits through the hands.

The evidence to date shows very clearly that there is indeed a plasmatic streaming – a release of energy through the bodily system – when blocks are released. All outcomes are different for every treatment, the healee being the determining factor in the net result.

Reiki affects each individual in a very personal way. The results of every treatment are determined by the needs (sometimes not always obvious) of the person being treated.
