What is Reiki and how can it help?
"Reiki is love, Love is wholeness, Wholeness is balance, Balance is wellbeing, Well being is freedom from disease" - Dr Mikao Usui
Reiki is a form of energy balancing, with its origins in India and the East dating back many thousands of years to the time before Christ and Buddha. The original name, disciplines, and techniques of Reiki were lost due to the traditional method of passing knowledge from generation to generation by word of mouth. Exactly when this ancient art of healing disappeared is difficult to determine.
However, we do know that it was rediscovered by a Japanese Scholar and monk named Dr. Mikao Usui. It was in fact Dr. Usui who fashioned the name REIKI. Reiki is a two-syllable Japanese word meaning universal life force. Although the proper Japanese pronunciation is RYE-KEY, it has been westernized to RAY-KEY. Rei means universal, omnipresent – present everywhere at the same time. Esoterically Rei means spiritual consciousness, the omniscient wisdom from God, or the higher self. Ki is the nonphysical vitality that gives life to all living things. Many cultures understand and recognize the importance of Ki energy and how it impacts our lives and well-being. Ki energy can be activated for the purpose of healing. When you feel healthy and full of enthusiasm, the flow of Ki energy in your body is high and unencumbered. Life seems easier to deal with and you have a higher resistance to illness and disease. However, when your Ki energy is low because maybe you are under stress or feeling unhappy and tired you will be more susceptible to disease and sickness. Your attitude will be generally negative and you will find it difficult to deal with life’s challenges. Ki is the very essence of the soul; it leaves the body when a person dies. Reiki is holistic; it works on the body mind and spirit by stimulating a person’s own natural healing abilities.
The blocked emotional and physical elements that lead to illness and disease are cleared. Reiki is neither positive nor negative; it is in fact the highest and most profound vibration of life. Divine in origin, it allows us all to become one with all things alive in our world. Reiki is pure unconditional love and joy bringing all who experience and embrace it principles together in harmony. The skills and techniques associated with Reiki are simple and easy to learn. Small children and adults can equally comprehend and incorporate this ancient form of healing into their lives. Regular contact with Reiki will bring the recipient's mind body and spirit into balance. It will also help prevent future creation of illness and disease. Crystal Reiki is also holistic, it works on the body, mind, and spirit by bringing the Ki energy and focusing it, and amplifying it by the intrinsic properties of the crystal. Crystals all have crystal lattices and are composed of basic elements in patterns. These lattices and patterns used properly can focus and amplify the Universal Life Force and shape it for our needs.
We are all vibrations and energy - vibrational beings. You’ve probably heard that every cell of your body — in fact, everything on this earth, living or manufactured — is composed of energy. We have an architecture of energy in our body, made up of seven distinct energy centers (the seven major Chakras), starting with your base energy center, and moving upwards until you reach your seventh center, your crown center. Each center is connected to very specific elements of your body and spirit.
If anything is out of balance or alignment, it’s hard to move forward, to experience joy, and to make good decisions. The energy that flows between and around these main Chakras (we have a ton of minor ones too) flows through what are called Meridians in the body - like tunnels of energy. Often, with every day life, trauma, illness, emotional - any kind of imbalance can cause a blockage or a disruption in the flow of energy and really knock us off course. The good news is that it’s possible to rebalance your energy, bringing you to a state of connectedness and centeredness.
A Reiki Master or Crystal Reiki Master (I am both) is NOT a healer. We are simply channels - just like a radio can tune into a frequency for a station - we have been trained and attuned to tune in and connect with the Universal Life Force Energy and act as a conduit for that energy to flow to you. Then its the universe that takes over and your body mind draws the Reiki in. Then once the energy connection is made (can be both in person and online) your body knows exactly what it needs and through the infinite wisdom of Reiki the energy knows exactly where to go to help you restore and maintain balance within your body. Reiki Healing and Crystal Reiki healing operate alongside similar energy based healing and balancing modalities such as Acupuncture, Yoga & EFT (Tapping) - it is based on the premise of the Universal (Rei) Energy or Lifeforce (Ki)....based around the Chakra System (energy centers within the etheric and auric fields) and the the transportation of that energy throughout the body - just like veins for blood, they are meridians for energy. They can become blocked from trauma, pain, abuse, addictions etc. All the modalities I mentioned above believe in this system of energy and ways to balance and unblock.
