What is Reiki?

Thought to have originated in Tibet Reiki, (Ray-Key), is a safe, holistic, hands-on energy therapy which promotes and accelerates the body’s own innate healing abilities. It operates on physical, mental, emotional and spiritual levels clearing the body of toxins and balancing the body as a whole. Reiki, (meaning Universal Life Force Energy, Chi, Prana, Spirit, depending on which culture you come from), can also enhance the body’s vitality and healing rate, stimulating and strengthening the immune system. Reiki treats the body as a whole and is also a valuable aid to self-development as it can also increase intuitive and creative abilities.

How does Reiki work?

This Universal Life Force Energy which is Reiki exists in all living things. The practitioner is attuned to the source of this Universal Energy by a Reiki Master and becomes a channel for the Reiki energy. The Reiki energy passes through the hands of the practitioner into the client who remains clothed throughout and the practitioner will place his/her hands where appropriate either on the body or off the body in the energy field. A session usually last for approximately one hour and is a relaxing experience. Some conditions may need several treatments whereas others will be relieved in one session. It can be used on its own or alongside other therapies and orthodox medicine.

Reiki attunements can only only be given by a fully initiated Reiki Master.

In the Reiki II class you are taught three symbols to use which will greatly enhance your use of the Reiki energy. You will also receive a healing attunement followed by the Reiki II attunement which will enable you to use these symbols. There is also a substantial increase in the amount of Reiki energy that you can channel.

The three symbols that you will receive are:

• The Power Symbol
• The Mental/Emotional Symbol
• The Absent/Distant Symbol

The Power Symbol is used to increase the power of the Reiki energy during a treatment. It can also be used to clear a room of negative energy or for self protection.

The Mental/Emotional Symbol can be used with any sort of emotional distress such as nervousness, fear, depression, anger, sadness etc., It can also be used as an aid to overcoming bad habits or to encourage new ones.

The Absent/Distant Symbol enables you to send healing to people not in the same room as you, at any distance. It can also help to heal past traumas or be sent ahead to future events. such as interviews or meetings, to create an atmosphere of understanding, confidence and co-operation. In fact any time where you feel that you may need a little extra help you can send Reiki energy ahead of time to prepare the way.

You well learn how to clear negative energy in a room, how to protect yourself and your family, your pets, your home, your car etc., using Reiki.

You will be given plenty of time to learn how to draw the symbols and how to use them, with plenty of practise time.

You will receive and introduction to working with Crystals. You will also meet the Reiki guides who are working with you and learn to work with their energies.

This attunement raises the vibratory level of Reiki once again and activates the two Master Symbols. You will be taught how to use these Master Symbols and how to remove negative energy from the energy field of your client. The use of crystals with Reiki will be discussed and how they can be used to enhance the Reiki treatment even further. Students who decide to take the advanced course have begun to integrate Reiki into their daily lives and work closely with its energy. Self development is enhanced by this attunement.

There will be plenty of time for practise.

A Reiki Master has learnt to work with the Reiki energy at all levels and is confident in working with a variety of people.

You will be given an attunement and two more symbols which will enable you to attune others to all Degrees of Reiki, together with practical advice on running your own courses. You will be shown how to pass all the attunements and there will be plenty of time to practise.

Throughout all courses emphasis is placed upon building a sympathetic rapport with whomever you are treating, whether it is a family member or a member of the public. It is important to remember that the Reiki healing is not done by us but through us, knowing that whomever we are treating will receive exactly what they need at any given moment.  Some people will come to us in preference to seeking professional medical help and whilst Reiki can help with a variety of different problems, sometimes resolving the matter entirely, it is no substitute for medical assistance and this should be made clear at the outset.

Important note.
Reiki is not intended to replace proper medical care which should be sought if you have any doubts surrounding healthcare issues.
