“Reiki is the secret art of inviting happiness. The miraculous medicine of all diseases.”
Mikao Usui
What is Reiki?
In the simplest terms, Reiki is boundless loving energy. It can be used on an individual, animal, plant, room, object, etc. It can never be used for anything negative. I like to describe it as a type of acupuncture treatment but without needles. It is either hovering over the main 7 Chakras or using light touch in those areas. There are traditional symbols used as well. It provides a relaxing quality which allows our rest/digest nervous system to be activated, allowing the body to heal. The type of energy work has been around for thousands of years. It can potentially re-balance any level of imbalance or disease at any energy level – spiritual, emotional, mental or physical. It is getting more widely used in hospitals before and after surgeries and for treatments like cancer.
- “Rei” is defined as Higher Intelligence that guides the creation and functioning of the universe. Divine wisdom, guidance, direction, knowing.
- “Ki” is life force energy. Also called Chi in China, Prana in India and Ti in Hawaii. Loving, unseen energy that surrounds and is within all living and non-living things.
When did Reiki Begin?
Energy healing has been around for thousands of years (Tibetan Monks, Sanskrit Sutras, Enlightened Masters). However, the documented and practiced method of Reiki is relatively new. It started with Master Mikao Usui in 1922. He was gifted the method after fasting for 21 days on Mount Kurama in Japan. Reiki began in the United States with the Reiki Master Hawayo Takata. She trained the original 22 masters in Hawaii. My teacher is part of that lineage through one of the master teachers named Phyllis Lee Furumoto.
What is a Reiki Master?
As a Reiki Master, I have been attuned three times. Each attunement is like receiving a type of key to unlock a higher channel of energy. I do not produce the energy, it is channeled through me to the person for their highest good. Reiki energy knows where to go, it is divinely created and guided. I go from each Chakra on the front and back of the body and use my instincts in a meditated way to know how long to hover/touch a Chakra area. The goal is to clear out the negative mud that we all have in our bodies just from daily life. I use certain symbols passed down to be through my attunement process during the session. I often perform Reiki on myself and also use it to clear rooms. The type of Reiki I practice is “Usui Shiki Ryoho”.
What does a Reiki session look like?
Done virtually or in-person, each session is different depending on the client’s needs. Always a session will include a meditation called Gassho. This is when the Reiki Master comes into a meditated calm state of mind in order to better channel energy. Next is the indicated of energy called Reiji-Ho. It includes the ability of the Reiki Master to sense what is needed during a session. There are items like clearing the space using symbols, setting an intention and inviting the energy. Last is the actual treatment called Chiryo. There are 12 basic hand positions to follow but really the Reiki Master is following their intuition on where to channel the energy for the best healing to take place.
Does it need to be in person?
No. Reiki is not bound by time or space. Can be sent to past or future self, anyone on Earth or someone no longer with us. It can be done to animals, plants and even food/water.
Reiki can be done multiple ways. There is no best way or most effective, they are all equal. There is no wrong way to practice Reiki. It is energy that can never cause harm, only good.
