What’s Reiki Healing?

You are wondering what’s reiki healing all about! Developed by the Japanese, it is a special healing technique that promotes stress reduction and relaxation. Comprised of two Japanese words, its meaning is very interesting. Let’s break it down. “Rei” means the Higher Power and “Ki” which is life force energy. Translated as one word it means “spiritually guided life force energy.”

Next, Reiki is based upon the notion that what causes us to be alive is a life force energy flowing through us. The Reiki healer administers the treatment is by “laying on hands.” The theory is that if your life force energy” is low, you may be more more likely to get sick or feel stress. And if it is high, we are more likely to be happy and healthy.

Reiki Beginnings

First of all there are many versions of how Reiki began. What we do know is that Dr Mikao Usui, a teacher of spiritual truths, brought the Reiki method of healing into human awareness in 1922. He is said to have had a deep spiritual experience after a serious earthquake hit Japan.
