The
Universal Life Force
Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is, in its simplest
translation, universal life energy. It is the life force that exists in
all things. The practice of Reiki is the art and science of channeling
this universal life energy, or force, to promote spiritual, mental and
physical well being. As Reiki involves directing the natural flow of
universal energy, it can best be compared to recharging a battery. When a
battery’s energy supply is low, it doesn’t function well. By
introducing a charge to it, it can once again run on its own. Reiki works
much the same way. If you are in pain, whether it be physical, mental or
spiritual, your energy supply is lessened. Reiki works to assist you in
bringing your energy level back up to its natural flow, enhancing your own
natural healing powers. The Reiki practitioner does not suffer from energy
depletion, as they are trained to channel energy from the outside
environment, not from their personal supply.
Reiki was re-discovered in the 1900’s by Dr. Mikao Usui. Reiki is an age
old method of healing. Upon searching the world over, Dr. Usui found, in
ancient writings in Tibet, the keys to healing with touch, as well as the
precise information for applying them.
WHAT HAPPENS
DURING A SESSION?
Reiki energy is a unique non-evasive, highly effective hands-on
natural healing technique. It is channeled through the practitioner who
has received the attunements. The receiver lies fully clothed on a
comfortable table. Energy is channeled and flows to the area of need.
Clients may feel a tingling sensation, heat, or waves of energy running
through their bodies. Clients often get a feeling of well being after a
reiki session. A treatment if conducted through a series of carefully
orchestrated touch patterns, and lasts about an hour. The amount of energy
transferred depends on the client’s needs and willingness to use it.
Reiki is not related to any religious belief, but is purely a channeling
of energy of the universe.

REIKI ATTUNEMENTS
When a reiki master gives the attunement, then the practitioner
has the ability to channel the reiki. Each attunement turns the
practitioner to a higher frequency. There are four levels of Reiki, and
three levels of energy. These are Reiki 1, Reiki 2, Master and Teacher.
When attuned to Master, then attunements can be given to a student. The
attunement involves master and student aligning their intention to receive
Reiki. Once attuned, you have it for the rest of your life. Reiki is
available to everyone!
REIKI HAS NO LIMITS!
When you decide to look for a practitioner, be certain to ask
questions of them relative to their training. Only those who have actually
investing themselves in the attunement and training process can administer
true Reiki!

Doctors, Hospitals and Nurses : At hospitals and clinics across America, Reiki is beginning to gain acceptance as a meaningful and cost-effective way to improve patient care. "Reiki sessions cause patients to heal faster with less pain," says Marilyn Vega, RN, a private-duty nurse at the Manhattan Eye, Ear, and Throat Hospital in New York. [Reiki] accelerates recovery from surgery, improves mental attitude and reduces the negative effects of medication and other medical procedures.
Reiki and Western Medicine: You can continue to receive regular medical or psychological treatment while receiving Reiki. The healing energy of Reiki will improve the results of any medical treatment. It acts to reduce negative side effects, such as, chemotherapy, surgery, and other invasive procedures. It shortens healing time, reduces, or eliminates pain and stress. It has been regularly noted that patients receiving Reiki leave the hospital earlier than those who did not. Below is a list of known illnesses and medical diagnosis that have had a positive effect from Reiki intervention when done by Reiki Practitioners across the globe.
Personal Testimonial for benefits of Reiki
My husband needed open heart surgery at a
hospital in Wilmington, Delaware.
I was surprised to find that all the surgical nurses that would be assisting the surgeon were Reiki practitioners.
Their certifications were proudly displayed on the surgeon's wall.
These nurses provided Reiki to my husband pre and post surgery. We feel that this service assisted in his speedy recovery as he was able to come home after a one week stay in the hospital following this extensive surgery. DG/LG
