Question 1

What is Reiki?

Accepted Answer

Reiki (pronounced Ray-Key) is an ancient healing art over 2,500 years old, which was rediscovered in Japan in the nineteenth century. Reiki is a Japanese word meaning "Universal Life Force Energy," the ocean of energy that is all around us. Healing energy is channeled through the practitioner's hands and the patient is healed not by the Reiki practitioner, but by the Universal Life Force Energy flowing into him or her through the practitioner, who has been "attuned" to such channeling under the guidance of a Reiki Master. Reiki relieves pain and acute problems quite effectively and is particularly useful in bringing deep relaxation to the patient. Chronic illnesses may require a number of treatments, depending on the nature of the disease. Any sickness which manifests physically is a symptom of disorder on the emotional, mental and spiritual levels. Reiki restores balance and harmony in all these areas, giving a sense of wholeness and well-being. Reiki opens a closed energy center of the aura arid emotional body.
