The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words – Rei which means “God’s Wisdom or the Higher Power” and Ki which is “life force energy”. So Reiki is actually “spiritually guided life force energy.”

Reiki is a Japanese technique for reducing stress, relaxation and promotes healing. Reiki is seen as an oriental version of spiritual healing, based on the laying on of hands and the channeling of a form of energy which can also benefit the practitioner.

So when Reiki practitioners will treat other people, they will treat themselves and they will follow a simple set of ‘rules to live by’ that were set down by Reiki’s founder, Mikao Usui

These are Mikao Usui’s precepts

Just for today,

Do not anger,

Do not worry,

Be humble,

Be honest (in your dealings with other people),

Be compassionate towards yourself and others.

W all have a life force energy which flows through us and causes us to be alive. If your life force energy is low, then we are more likely to become ill and feel stressed, and if it is high, we are happy and healthy.

When you have a treatment it feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person, mind, body, spirit and your emotions. The effects are a wonderful feeling of being very relaxed, at peace, very secure and well.
