What is Reiki
Reiki is an energy healing modality originating in Japan in the late 1800′s with Dr. Mikau Usui.
The word “Reiki” is a Japanese word meaning “Universal Life Force.”
The name comes from a
Reiki is often described as the Japanese word for “universal energy.”
Within traditional Eastern healing, Reiki focuses on the “KI” (also known as “Qi,” “Chi,” or “Prana”) as a method of bringing the life force energy back into balance.
Daily stress, environmental toxins, addictions, etc., negatively impact our life force energy flow.
Reiki rebalances subtle energies, which in turn:
- Increases feelings of well-being
- Reduces stress
- Promotes good health
In essence, Reiki is a method of harnessing the Universal Life Force circulating around us and all living creatures.
We then use Reiki energy to help ourselves and others.
Reiki restores harmony to negatively impacted areas of the body by flowing through the affected areas of the energy field and charging them with positive energy.
You are born with the natural ability to heal yourself and others. Reiki is a beautiful practice for harnessing your natural power.
The Reiki 1 Certification Class
The Reiki method I teach is Usui Shiki Ryoho, translated as “Usui System of Natural Healing.”
During Reiki 1, the channel is opened, allowing you to use Reiki energy to help yourself and others.
You will learn the history of Reiki, how to read chakras, how to access Reiki energy, and the basic Reiki hand positions.
This is a very “hands-on” class. You’ll have the chance to experience Reiki both as a practitioner and as a recipient.
At the end of the class, students receive an attunement and a Reiki 1 Certificate. You’ll have all five Reiki symbols placed in your palms and crown chakra during the attunement.”
With the Reiki 1 attunement, many people notice increased intuition and synchronicity. Synchronicities like being at the “right place at the right time,” and “there are no coincidences.” Some people also begin seeing auras after a Reiki 1 attunement.
