The name “Reiki”
translates as “Universal Life Force”. This is the unseen
energy which fills the universe and animates all living things.
Without it nothing
could grow or heal. Applying Reiki to the body is a gentle but powerful
way to support and enhance the life force energy in any living thing
and is a useful aid to healing both physical and emotional problems.
It is suitable for any age group and all states of health. Reiki
cannot be used to do harm.
Reiki also has
a gentle philosophy which acts to reduce stress and tension in life.
Many people who use Reiki find that, with time, this philosophy
profoundly alters how they view themselves and the world.
THE REIKI PRINCIPLES:
JUST
FOR TODAY:
I do not worry,
I am not angry,
I honour everyone around me,
I earn my living honestly,
I show gratitude to every living thing.
You may wish
to think about the Reiki principles and see how they could fit into
your own life-style.
HOW
IS REIKI USED?
Reiki can be
used on many levels for healing
As a First-aid
measure to reduce immediate pain and trauma.
As a full body
treatment for a deeper healing to release any energy blockages and
relieve the ailments they cause. Most conditions will respond.
To promote deep
relaxation and well being .
One hour of
Reiki is equivalent to five hours sleep.
The essence
of Reiki is to balance and heal mind body and spirit .Every system
in the body has its own inner wisdom and “knows” what
it must do to give balance and harmony to the whole.
Healing is an
individual process which takes its own time. All that is needed
to begin is a willingness and intent to engage in the process and
be part of it. No one else can heal you – you heal yourself.
Reiki works gently with both body and mind to aid the process.
HOW IS REIKI
GIVEN?
A full treatment
is given with the recipient lying fully clothed except for shoes
on a couch or sitting in a chair. It is usually a hands-on treatment
with the therapist placing their hands on a sequence of positions
on the body to transmit the Reiki energy.
It is not intrusive
or in any way embarrassing and most people enjoy the contact. When
receiving Reiki you will feel pleasant warmth or tingling in the
area being treated. Most people easily relax deeply feeling a release
of tension and anxiety which allows healing to begin. In this state
of deep relaxation the healing systems of the body are free to make
whatever adjustments are necessary to improve health. Some people
fall asleep during treatment and awake fully refreshed and revitalised.
Reiki can help
anyone – you do not have to be ill to benefit from its calming
and relaxing effect.
Why not give
it a try?
