About Reiki

Reiki

 

Reiki is an energy channeling technique that originated in Japan and its founder was Mikao Usui.

​

The mission of Reiki is to channel universal life force energy to promote balance, relaxation, and self-healing across the mind, body, and spirit. This energy does not belong to any individual but is considered a universal energy available to all. With a calm and quiet mind, anyone can learn to access it and use their hands as intuitive tools to channel energy, helping to promote balance, relaxation, and harmony within the mind and body.

“Reiki does not belong to one person or one community, but it is the spiritual heritage of all humanity.” - Usui-sensei

​

“Reiki is wisdom combined with energy; it connects us to the universal source of light, it stimulates growth, it balances us from a physical, mental and spiritual point of view, it can heal the deepest wounds and it can bring to the surface the unknown potentials of our being.” - Usui-sensei

​

“Reiki is optimum health support. It is like a vehicle to our interior truth, which guides us to happiness. Happiness is the path to healing ourselves.” - Usui-sensei

​
In simpler, less mystical terms, Reiki is a universal energy channeling practice that uses a calm, quiet, and intentional state of mind to facilitate relaxation and well-being from one person to another. The Reiki practitioner channels energy through their hands as a tool to direct-promote a sense of calm, balance, and relaxation in others. It is somewhat like sending your best wishes to another person with sincere intention, while allowing the universe to amplify and support those wishes. But instead, Reiki users are promoting harmony, relaxation and balance.

Reiki symbols are sacred keys used to focus and amplify universal life force energy.

 

The significance of these symbols can be compared to that of a Christian cross, a hazard sign, or even a heart emoji in a text message. When a large number of people collectively associate a symbol with a particular meaning, the symbol becomes a powerful mental and emotional cue. For example, when someone sends a heart emoji in a text message, the message of love is immediately understood without words. Similarly, Reiki symbols are believed to carry specific intentions and meanings that help with direct healing energy more effectively.

​

Similarly, chanting and prayers can serve a purpose. When a phrase is repeated by many people over time, it can take on a powerful symbolic meaning and presence. Like a slogan, mantra, or affirmation, the repeated words become deeply associated with a particular intention, feeling, or belief, often creating a strong mental and emotional impact on those who recite or hear them.

​

​When many people believe in the same idea, it can gain significant influence and begin to shape perceptions, behaviours, and collective reality. With that said, I personally believe in the value and possible existence of all forms of gods and religions, and I respect the diversity of spiritual perspectives.
