Reiki

What is Reiki?

While it is difficult to define the essence of the words Rei and Ki, the most meaningful definition for our purpose is “spiritually guided life force energy.” The Chinese interpretation of the Kanji brings a slightly different perspective to it’s understanding by describing it as “The life force energy from beyond the beyond.” The energy itself is the foundation of all healing and the essence of who we are. The basic philosophy and approach to using Reiki as we know it today was popularized by a Japanese spiritualist named Makio Usui back in the late 1800’s.

In a mystical vision, Dr. Usui discovered a simple way to use and attune others to this loving healing energy. His gentle, yet powerful technique has traditionally been thought of as a “hands on” approach.

Today, as the energy becomes more and more grounded on the planet, an ancient
history of Reiki is starting to unfold. Exciting information of how this energy may have been used by other civilizations is bringing new insight to how it may be used in the future. Insight Awareness is deeply committed to assisting this process.

Learning Reiki

Reiki is not taught the way that other healing techniques are taught. Anyone can learn Reiki with no prior experience. The ability to channel Reiki is accomplished through an attunement process. This is given by the Reiki master to the student in a process that opens the crown, heart and palm chakras, creating a special link between the student and the Reiki source. After that, all that is necessary for the Reiki to flow is the intent of the practitioner.

Reiki is a complete system of holistic healing and personal development. Its versatility is limited only by your imagination. You can use it to heal yourself and others, achieve goals, develop higher consciousness and fulfill your spiritual purpose.
