Rei means “Universal” and Ki means “The vital life force energy that flows through all living things.” Reiki involves no religion, dogma or system of belief, and requires no special state of being.

Reiki is a laying-on of hands healing technique that is thousands of years old and was rediscovered by Dr. Mikao Usui in Japan in the late 1800’s. Reiki is a natural healing energy that is administered by the practitioner using the laying on of hands technique radiating healing energy over the recipient’s body and chakras.

This natural healing energy gently balances life energies and brings health and well-being to the recipient on all levels: mental, emotional, physical and spiritual. However, when the flow of “life force energy” is weakened, blocked or out of sync, unbalance and disruption tends to occur.

Chakras

To have a better understanding of Reiki it is important to understand what chakras are and the role they play in health and healing. The word chakra is a sanskrit word meaning “wheel” or “circle” which is said to look like a spinning vortex that whirls in a circular motion forming a vacuum in the center of the body where energy is taken in from all around. This means that, these energy transformers take in coded information on its particular vibratory level and transform information into various frequencies that we need and bring it into our subtle energy system. It is believed that the human body contains many chakras that play a vital part in the operation of our being.

There are seven main chakra centers that are aligned along the spinal column each connecting to a subtle energy system. Each of the seven major chakras is believed to be associated with particular parts of the body, endocrine glands, nerves and functions within the body controlled by that particular endocrine gland or nerve that is associated with that Chakra. In addition, each of the seven main chakras is associated with a certain color.
