What is Reiki?

Reiki is pronounced Rei (Ray), Ki (key) and the meaning of the word is Rei (universal life) and Ki (energy).

So now, what is REIKI?

This question gets asked a lot at Healing Feather Massage and Reiki. If you’ve ever heard of Reiki, that’s not surprising because Reiki is becoming more and more popular. In fact, this ancient Japanese healing technique is now starting to be used in hospitals and clinics all over the world. Reiki healers are helping people near and far with this powerful universal life force energy. Today, Doctors and Specialist’s are recommending the healing modality of Reiki to their patients for help with their health, healing processes and many other reasons.

Reiki is something you’ll need to try in order to fully understand because it’s an experience and feeling that is different and difficult to explain. Plus everyone experiences different things but they are all positive and uplifting for your body and health. Your Reiki practitioner should consult with you before your session begins to go over things and answer any of your questions or concerns.

Reiki is a universal life energy force that is used as a healing technique by a practitioner through channeling the energy to activate its natural healing process of the person’s body and restores physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

Reiki is the life energy that flows through all living things. It is not affiliated with any particular one thing. Some feel it is a part of their faith and beliefs, like having “faith the size of a mustard seed in order to move a mountain”. Others say it’s a health care practice because they themselves or someone they know has been healed by Reiki. Then many others have no answer for it at all, they only know what works. They know the feeling and experience when they receive a session. This is because Reiki is work done with energy to provide benefits in different areas of life that people can’t completely understand or explain the reasoning behind it. All they know is, Reiki works!

When a person’s energy is free flowing and strong their body and mind are in a positive state of health. But when the energy becomes blocked or weakened by anything, it could lead to symptoms of physical or emotional imbalance along with other issues.

Everything is made up of energy, including the human body. When we brake things down to its core structure we find the base core of cells, molecules, atoms, protons, and the list goes on depending on what it is, but in the end, it’s the life force energy.

Reiki sessions can help with many things and unless you actually give it a try, you may never know or understand its true value.
