| WHAT IS REIKI? |
 |
|
Reiki (pronounced Ray-Key) is also a healing discipline with its origins in the East. REI The word ‘Rei’ means universal and this is the definition that most people have accepted. However, Japanese ideograms have many levels of meaning and whilst Rei can be interpreted as universal, which means that it is present everywhere, there is also a deeper and more meaningful definition. Its more accurate definition is to mean higher knowledge or spiritual consciousness. This wisdom that comes from God or the Higher self and which understands each individual completely, together with knowing the cause of all problems and difficulties and in turn knowing how to heal them.
KI The work ‘Ki’ means the same as Chi in Chinese. It is life energy or vital life force. This is a non-physical energy that animates all living things. If your life energy is low this will make you more vulnerable to illness; therefore it is far better to have energy flowing freely and high in order for you to function well. |

| THE HISTORY OF REIKI – PAST & PRESENT | |
|
Reiki is an ancient form of healing. It was rediscovered by Dr. Mikao Usui of Kyoto, Japan towards the end of the 19th Century. Dr. Usui had spent many years on a quest for the secret of the ancient healing knowledge. He went to a mountain top in Japan and underwent a 21 day purification, fasting and meditating at the end of which he received enlightenment and the power of healing. He came down from the mountain and spent the rest of his life practicing and teaching what we know as Reiki. Dr. Usui passed his knowledge onto several others and made Mr. Chujiro Hayashi the Reiki Grand Master with the responsibility of training all the other Reiki teachers. He took Reiki to the USA in 1936 where he met up with one of his students, Mrs. Hawayo H Takata going on in 1938 to make her a Master. Mr. Hayashi died on 10th May 1941 passing on the Grand Reiki Master to Mrs. Takata. At this time there were only 5 living Reiki Masters under her leadership. However, she went onto grant 22 Masterships before her death on 12th December 1980 when she willed the title of Grand Master to her granddaughter Phyllis Lei Furumoto. After Mrs. Takata’s death the western Reiki movement split into two directions. The ‘Reiki Alliance' led by Phyllis Furumoto and 'The Radiance Techniques' which was led by Barbara Ray and based in the USA. Several other branches grew out of the ‘Reiki Alliance’. Reiki has gone on from strength to strength now being practiced worldwide.
Dr. Mikao Usui Reiki is not involved with religion or dogma, although it draws upon both Christianity and Buddhism for some of its teachings and it's ethical base. People of all walks of life and spiritual backgrounds appreciate it's loving simplicity and benefit from it's healing power. |

| THE REIKI IDEALS | |
|
|
| HOW DOES IT WORK? | |
| The Reiki therapist body's channels this energy through his or her hands to the recipient, activating the body's natural ability to healing itself. Reiki energy goes to the deeper levels of a persons being, where many illnesses have their origins. It works wherever the recipient needs it most, releasing blocked energies, cleansing the body of toxins, relieving stress, alleviating pain and working to recreate the natural stage of balance. Reiki reinforces the patients ability to take responsibility for their life, and also helps them to make the necessary changes in attitude and lifestyle to promote a happier and healthier life. | |
| WHAT DOES THE TREATMENT CONSIST OF? |
|
| Reiki is a very simple, non-intrusive and extremely powerful therapy. A treatment session lasts about one hour. It is usually carried out with the recipent remaining fully clothed laying on a therapy couch. However, treatment can also be given in a sitting position if the patient finds this more comfortable. The therapist gently places his or her hands in various positions, ultimately covering most of the body. Each position is held for up to 3 minutes. There is no pressure exerted, making Reiki an ideal treatment for the very young, elderly, pregnant women and those recovering from surgery. The whole body is treated, not just an isolated area. This enables the energy to go right to the source of the inbalance and not just to the manifesting symptoms. | |
| WHAT WILL I EXPERIENCE? | |
| When undergoing treatment you will gradually feel a very pleasant sensation of warmth and maybe a gentle tingling in the area being treated. As the energy comes into balance, stress and tension are released and in their place a deep sense of relaxation develops and a tremendous feeling of well-being is established. Don't be surprised if you fall asleep. | |
| WHAT CAN REIKI TREAT? | |
| Reiki is beneficial in most cases of stress, tension, sinusitis, menstrual problems, cystitis, migraines, asthma, psoriasis, M.E., constipation, eczema, arthritis, menopausal problems, back pain, anxiety, depression insomnia and sciatica. Chronic ailments also respond well. Reiki is a great tonic and if you are well, Reiki will help you to stay that way. | |
| CAN REIKI DO ANY HARM? | |
| Reiki will complement and increase the effectiveness of most kinds of medication and treatment, whether allopathic, homeopathic or complementary. It is completely safe, natural and holistic. As a means of healing it has been in use for thousands of years. It is healing energy in the truest sense. | |
| BENEFITS OF ATTUNING TO REIKI | |
