Reiki is a Japanese word which means "Universal Life-force Energy". It is an ancient healing science which was rediscovered last century by the Japanese scholar, Dr. Mikao Usui. It has since spread world-wide and is now practiced by millions daily.

 As quantum physics is now proving, everything in the universe is energy. The lower the frequency of energy, the more solid it appears. Our physical bodies are made of energy vibrating at different frequencies. For example, bones are vibrating at a lower frequency that skin, and so they seem to be more solid.  Our emotions and thoughts are also energy. A blockage in any of the frequencies will eventually cause disharmony in the others. Stress causes energy blockages and therefore effects our body, emotions and our thinking.

 Reiki is a healing energy which is drawn into the body wherever it is needed most and dis-integrates the energy blockages on all levels. It is very simple to learn and use. It is not a religion. It is not a cult. It does not require mind control. This technique is a powerful, yet gentle way to replenish lost vitality and balance your energy to accelerate healing and promote well-being of body, mind and spirit.

 Reiki is profound in the relief of stress and tension and the resulting dis-ease. The American Institute of Stress estimates that between 75% and 95% of ALL doctor's visits are the result of reaction to stress. It is known that continual negative stress prevents the body from fulfilling it's natural function of repairing, regenerating and protecting itself. If I had to describe Reiki in only a few words, "RELAXING" would be one of them.
On the physical level it relieves pain and accelerates healing of injuries (sports and otherwise), cuts, burns, etc. It is complementary to all standard and alternative treatments. Those who are seriously ill can continue to receive orthodox medical attention and use Reiki to maximize their chances of recovery. It reduces the side effects of drugs, chemotherapy, etc.

 Under stress most of us do not deal directly with whatever situation is triggering the stress. We tend to "try" to cope by repressing emotions, building defensive walls, blocking out memories. Eventually our bodies produce symptoms, or dis-ease to let us know that our evasive actions are not dealing with the issue.

 I said that "relaxing" is one way to describe Reiki. "NURTURING" would be another. I have been told by many people receiving Reiki that the energy feels so nurturing, so loving. I agree. It is a feeling of unconditional, loving acceptance. Hurts and fears and withheld emotions can be released and healing can take place. Using Reiki as a self treatment reawakens in many, particularly those who have been physically abused, a sense of reconnection with their body and their emotions in a positive way.

 I was first introduced to Reiki in mid 1990. After many years and many avenues of self-awareness I knew I had found a key ingredient. This was a tool I could use, to take responsibility for my own well-being, to increase my intuitive, intellectual and creative processes. It was a way for me to help those around me to regain their wholeness. We are all connected. "When one is healed, all are healed."
