Reiki is an ancient healing system that was used in Tibet about 3500 years ago. It was lost for many centuries and rediscovered in the mid 1800's by Dr. Mikao Usui.
Reiki is a Japanese word composed of REI, which means spirit or unseen spiritual quality and CHI or PRANA, which means vital force energy. The two systems combined refer to Universal Life Energy.
Reiki is one of the purest forms of natural healing. as stress blocks the natural flow of energies, Reiki helps the body in restoring its natural balance. Through Reiki, the body releases stress and tension, thus creating balance and relaxation. This will enable us to heal naturally. Reiki is simple to learn and treats all four levels of a person: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.
When one becomes a Reiki practitioner, he or she learns that the true gift of Reiki is in the knowledge that the more one gives, the more one receives. This without any expectations.
