What is Reiki?

Reiki (pronounced Ray-key) is a Japanese name consisting of 2 words Rei and Ki meaning spiritually guided life energy (known as Universal Life Energy), an energy which animates us all and is found all around us.
Reiki is a form of spiritual / energy healing using "universal life energy" channelled through the practitioner to the recipient.
Reiki helps to harmonize body, mind and spirit for yourself or anyone you would like to help.

Reiki treatment

You relax, fully clothed, lying down or seated, while the healer holds his hands on or above you. A treatment can last an hour or longer depending on the treatment required. Practitioners use standard hand positions and a full treatment is given covering all the important organs of the body.
There is no pressure on the body making it ideal for treating all ages and conditions, sometimes hands are even held away from the body. The energy flows wherever it is required (spiritually guided) and can normally be felt as a warm sensation or tingling in the body. Receiving Reiki is a very relaxing and soothing experience!

Reiki Healing methods

Reiki can be used for many ailments like reducing stress, upset stomachs, relieving pain, headaches, migraines, back problems, respiratory problems, PMT, menstrual problems, asthma, sinus, anxiety and many more. (Please note that Reiki should never be used instead of medical treatment, it should be used as a compliment and a way to become and remain healthy.)
There is no belief system attached to Reiki so anyone can receive a Reiki treatment, as in any healing the first step towards a healthier life is a desire to be healed.

How does Reiki promote health?

First, it frees us from dis-ease; it prevents as well as cures illness. It then helps us to grow emotionally, mentally and spiritually, the qualities of Reiki are the balancing of the chakras to achieve a harmonious energy flow. 

The physical body and the different chakra’s

Every chakra has a corresponding organ in our physical system.
The root chakra (Andrenal Gland) belongs together with the large intestine and the rectum. It also has a certain influence on the function of the kidneys.

The sacral (naval) chakra (spleen, bladder and pancreas)belongs to the reproduction system, the testicles and ovaries and also the urinary bladder and kidneys.

The solar plexus chakra (digestive system)is in relation to the liver, gall bladder, stomach, and the small intestine.

The heart chakra (thymus) belongs to the heart and the arms.
The throat chakra (thyroid gland) relates to the lungs and the throat.
The third eye chakra (pituitary gland) belongs to the brain, face, nose, eyes etc.
The crown chakra (pineal gland) is related to the whole being.
There is a clear connection between the condition of a chakra and the condition of the corresponding organ. A chakra can be over active, under active or in balance. Using Reiki balances the chakras and the organs for optimal health.

Chakras and the endocrine system

The chakras change energy from one level to another by distributing Ki (also called Chi, Prana, Mana depending on your belief system) to the physical body. This is partly done through the endocrine system that regulates other systems in the body. The Reiki hand positions cover the chakras and also major organs and glands.
The endocrine system plays a major role for the body's daily health. The glands release hormones directly into the blood stream and control all aspects of growth, development and daily activities.
Physical problems are often results of blockages causing the organs or glands to not function properly.
