(pronounced ray-kee) is a Japanese word meaning "Universal Life Force Energy," the underlying force the Universe is made of. This energy is referred to by other cultures (Chinese martial artists and mystics call it Chi, in India it is called Prana, it has been referred to as spiritual energy or sacred energy, terms that represent the concept of 'the energy of everything'). Mystics in all cultures have talked about the physical Universe being made of this underlying form and modern physics understand that the Universe is made up of energy. Energy healing methods such as Reiki or Qigong, involve the direct application of Chi, and done so with the intention and purpose of strengthening the recipients energy system (aura) to support the natural healing response of the body.  Reiki is the energy and the specific technique for channeling the energy is the Usui System of Natural Healing, named after Dr. Mikao Usui, who rediscovered the ancient healing system.

The term Reiki "healing" is used here in a way that is unlike the popular Western concept of healing, "removal of symptoms." Healing is referred to here as "to recover a greater experience of unity with divine harmony and our true selves."  Healing is returning to a state of alignment with your Higher Self or true way of being; healing is to return to greater wholeness. It is Western Medical Science that has created the concept that healing is the removal of symptoms. Reiki can be used with all other treatment modalities and will enhance the healing experience.

A Reiki session can restore a sense of relaxation, balance, purpose and spirituality. The Reiki Universal Life Force Energy supports the body, mind and spirit in finding health through relaxation, harmony and balance. Anyone anywhere can use it and benefit from it. Reiki- Universal Life Force Energy, is the source of our Universe and our being and will never do harm. Reiki operates on the underlying energy structure of matter, as the physical matter we see around us is a solidified form of energy. Emotional and spiritual difficulties are present on an energetic level just as physical difficulties. Reiki is completely natural and is a healing system that treats on the deepest energetic levels of our being. It is safe and gentle and has been used since ancient times by many cultures in a variety of ways. Universal energy is experienced through Tai Chi, Acupuncture, Yoga, and Qigong. Usui Reiki was once widely known and believed to be the healing method that Jesus and Budha used. It originated in Tibet 2500 years ago. It was rediscovered in Japan and came to the US in the early part of the last century.

Reiki is beneficial to all living things, including plants and animals. Reiki does not diagnose, prescribe, or cure but it does address energetic disturbances or imbalances in the physical and etheric bodies and it promotes a state of relaxation. It is natural and nothing is ever harmed by Reiki. Every living thing is supported by this Life Energy. Our bodies naturally draw on Reiki energy to clear stagnant energy which supports and accelerates our natural healing processes and builds the immune system which allows the body to fight off illness naturally. It can be helpful in the healing process of all chronic and acute illnesses as well as flu, fatigue, headaches, back pain, etc. Reiki has been helpful in soothing the symptoms associated with menopause, depression, insomnia, lack of confidence, addiction and fear-based illnesses while promoting relaxation and a clear and calm mental attitude. It is used in many hospitals and health clinics to reduce pain, relieve anxiety and depression and accelerate healing after surgery. It supports traditional medical treatments and reduces side effects of medication and chemotherapy. A Reiki treatment provides a deep sense of relaxation, peace and well being.

Reiki is not a religion nor does it challenge any religious belief systems. The principles taught by Dr. Usui were simply this:

For today, I will not worry.
For today, I will not be angry.
For today, I will live honestly.
For today, I will respect the oneness of all life.
For today, I will be kind to everyone I meet.
For today, I will give thanks for all my blessings.

I received my Shamballa and Usui Reiki training from Certified Reiki Master Teachers. My Usui Reiki lineage can be traced back to Dr. Mikao Usui. I am trained to channel Reiki energy which is a gentle, supportive, healing energy. Reiki sessions are very safe. Reiki never does harm and the recipient is always in control of sessions which are offered in person or from a distance. The energy can flow through anything so a recipient is always fully clothed during a session. Once a practitioner is attuned to Reiki energy they act as a channel or conduit for this Life Force Energy.  The Universal Life Force Energy is channeled when the healer places their hands in specific postures on or near the body or while, with focused intent, meditates for distance sessions with the intention to heal. The energy passes through the Reiki Practitioner and by its own divine inherent intelligence flows where it is needed on a physical, emotional, spiritual and mental level. The practitioner is able to transmit the energy with focused intent from a distance with beneficial effects. All living things are connected on an energetic level by the Universal Life Force Energy. We are all one.

When we find ourselves out of the flow or not at One with the natural flow of life (or energy) we come up against obstacles: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. These elements are interdependent of one another and together they create the experiences in our lives. In channeling the Universal Life Force Energy we support the movement of stagnant energy in order to restore relaxation and balance to allow for natural flow. 

As part of our healing process we need to face all sides of ourselves. We need to learn to love ourselves and grow in appreciation and respect for our individual gifts and embrace and acknowledge our fears and darkest issues as well. By working on ourselves to evolve, and by taking responsibility for our personal spiritual progress, we learn to let go of self-condemnation and work toward balance instead. When the dual elements within us that we term “good” and “bad” or "yin" and "yang" within us are balanced and blended, we are creating a non-dual existence, one where we begin to resonate fully with Universal Energy. True healing takes place as the two forces, or dual elements, within us are balanced harmoniously. When you take responsibility for your own life and health you begin to live in acceptance and move toward a state of union with the Universe and it is there that your obstacles have the opportunity to dissolve.  Reiki is supportive of that process.
