A Brief Overview
An amazingly simple technique to learn, the
ability to use Reiki is not taught in the usual
sense, but is transferred to the student by
the Reiki Master. Its use is not dependent on
ones intellectual capacity or spiritual development
and, therefore, is available to everyone. It
has been successfully taught to thousands of
people of all ages and backgrounds.
A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing
radiance that flows through you and surrounds
you. Reiki treats the whole person including
body, emotions, mind and spirit and creates
many beneficial effects including relaxation
and feelings of peace, security, and well-being.
Many have reported miraculous results. Reiki
is a simple, natural, and safe method of spiritual
healing and self-improvement that everyone can
use.
Rei - Spiritual Wisdom
Mrs. Hawayo Takata, who introduced Reiki to
the West, said the word Rei means universal
and this is the definition most have accepted.
However, Mrs. Takata also indicated that this
interpretation is a very general one. The kanji
ideograms have many levels of meaning. They
vary from the mundane to the highly esoteric.
So while it is true that Rei can be interpreted
as universal, meaning that it is present everywhere,
this level of interpretation really doesn't
add to our understanding of Reiki.
Research into the esoteric meaning of the Japanese kanji character for Rei has given a much deeper understanding of this ideogram. The word Rei as it is used in Reiki is more accurately interpreted to mean supernatural knowledge or spiritual consciousness. This is the wisdom that comes from God or the Higher Self. This is the God-Consciousness which is all knowing. It understands each person completely. It knows the cause of all problems and difficulties and knows what to do to heal them.
Ki -- The Life Force
Ki means the same as Chi in Chinese, Prana
in Sanskrit and Ti or Ki in Hawaiian. It has
also been called, odic force, orgone, and bioplasma.
It has been given many other names by the various
cultures that have been aware of it.
Ki is the life force. It is also called the vital life force or the universal life force. This is the nonphysical energy that animates all living things. As long as something is alive, it has life force circulating through it and surrounding it; when it dies, the life force departs. If your life force is low, or if there is a restriction in its flow, you will be more vulnerable to illness. When it is high, and flowing freely, you are less likely to get sick. Life force plays an important role in everything we do. It animates the body and also is the primary energy of our emotions, thoughts and spiritual life.
The Chinese place great importance on the life
force or what they call Chi. They have studied
it for thousands of years and have discovered
there are many different kinds of Chi. The "Yellow
Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine"
which is over 4,000 years old, lists thirty-two
different kinds of Chi or Ki.
Ki is used by martial artists in their physical training and mental development. It is used in meditative breathing exercises called Pranayama, and by the shamans of all cultures for divination, psychic awareness, manifestation and healing. Ki is the nonphysical energy used by all healers. Ki is present all around us and can be accumulated and guided by the mind.
Reiki is Spiritually Guided Life Force Energy
It is the God-consciousness called Rei that
guides the life force called Ki in the practice
we call Reiki. Therefore, Reiki can be defined
as spiritually guided life force energy. This
is a meaningful interpretation of the word Reiki.
It more closely describes the experience most
people have of it; Reiki guiding itself with
its own wisdom, and being unresponsive to the
direction of the practitioner.
Is Reiki a Religion?
While Reiki is spiritual in nature, it is not
a religion. It has no dogma, and there is nothing
you must believe in order to learn and use Reiki.
In fact, Reiki is not dependent on belief at
all and will work whether you believe in it
or not. Because Reiki comes from God, many people
find that using Reiki puts them more in touch
with the experience of their religion rather
than having only an intellectual concept of
it.
While Reiki is not a religion, for optimum well being in the light of Eastern medical theory that we are a mind-body-spirit unity, it is necessary to live and act in a way that promotes harmony with others. Dr. Mikao Usui, the founder of the Reiki system of natural healing, recommended that one practice certain simple ethical ideals to promote peace and harmony, which are nearly universal across all cultures.
