Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation, it also promotes healing. Reiki was developed to be used by Dr Mikao Usui who was the founder of the Reiki natural healing system. Dr Usui recommended using simple ethical ideals to promote peace and harmony- these principles are nearly universal across cultures. Reiki treats the whole person: body, emotions, mind & spirit. The ben
efits of Reiki include relaxation, peace of mind and feelings of security and wellbeing. The Reiki technique is a simple technique to learn. Reiki is passed on during an "attunement" given by a Reiki Master and allows the student to tap into an unlimited source of "life force energy" to improve one's health and enhance the quality of life. Reiki learning is not reliant on intellect or spirituality development so it is available to everyone to learn and practice. Reiki is not a religion. Reiki actively promotes health and wellbeing with the practice of "laying of the hands". The Reiki practitioner or Master carries this action out and uses good intention with the purpose to heal the person. Reiki is a recognised therapy in some medical areas and is practiced in health areas such as oncology to promote health, wellbeing, peace and relaxation to patients living with cancers. Receiving Reiki brings a lovely warm all over feeling to our mind, body and soul. It is unobtrusive, natural and takes no energy from the Reiki recipient at all: in fact it promotes one's energy flow. Reiki works with one's life force and energy flow, it is a gentle and effective therapy that brings a sense of belonging and security. Reiki opens and holds hope, it assists in personal development and self confidence to mention just a few of its benefits. Reiki universally promotes health, well-being and harmony.
