Reiki is an ancient Japanese stress reduction and relaxation technique that aids the
receiver in healing not only the body, but mind and spirit as well. It is a whole body
energetic treatment that's fast becoming a favorite in the holistic health care industry.

When people first hear about Reiki they tend to think it's some form of massage. I will tell
you straight out, it is NOT, (at least, not on a physical level). A special transference of
energy occurs between the practitioner and the receiver and this is done with the hands
being still for a few minutes on various positions of a fully-clothed recipient.

Let me just say, that energy healing is not ZAPPING people or doing Voodoo in any way.
It's not cookery or some woowoo practice but in fact, it's been well researched, documented
and widely accepted in the
medical community and it's now one of the fastest-growing,
complimentary healing systems in alternative medicine today.
Early research showed that Reiki originated in the Tibetan Monasteries as a method of
self-healing for the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies. At this time, there's
much more information about the evolution of Reiki as a Healing Art, as it has grown into a
technique for sharing powerful healing with others. Much more research and information is
now available about the origins of this most beautiful healing system and it is advised for
anyone interested to realize, that in matters on the spirit levels not everyone has the same
beliefs or background knowledge. However, there are many resources to do your own
research and I encourage you to do so.
One thing most definitely true about Reiki is that it's an ancient healing art which draws
energy into the practitioner or Master's body and is then transferred to other living
beings. This energy "flows through" the person rather than coming "from" them. The
vibration of Reiki energy is quite high in frequency and therefore, provides the recipient a
layer of natural protection from picking up any of the practitioners own personal energy
and vice versa.   
Reiki is safe and non-invasive. It can be done with or without you even being present
although if you've never had the experience of Reiki firsthand, then you probably want to
feel the hot hands and the direct effect of the energy transferred to your body. It is
extremely relaxing, calming and frequently reduces and alleviates pain, discomfort and
disease of any kind. Some conditions require more than one session and although Reiki does
have permanent and lasting healing effects, it is intended to compliment your regular
treatment, not replace it.
Many Reiki practitioners experience rapid growth once initiated and a heightened sixth
sense. You should speak to your Reiki Master about advancing on the path of self healing
and/or helping others to heal.
Once initiated, the energy transferral happens automatically when your hands are placed on
any living being or by intent and focus.  Through the use of the ancient Sanskrit symbols,
healing energy can be used for different types of treatment and each one allows the
practitioner to work on various layers of energetic disturbance or blockages, which then
helps release that energy from the patient.
