What is Reiki?

 
 
 
  Everyone can learn and practice Reiki
  ~Dr. Mikao Usui~
 

The reiki method was developed by Dr. Mikao Usui.

The Japanese word rei-ki means "universal life energy". It's the energy that is present everywhere around us and that we people, but also animals and plants, need to live. This energy can be used to inhance the capacity of self-healing, both for yourself and for others. It can be used both on the body and the mind.

Everyone can use reiki. To do this, you need access to the universal life energy in order to pass the energy on, either to yourself or to others. You will get this access by means of a number of attunements which open up your reiki channel and which attune you to the universal life energy.

During a reiki course you receive the required attunements and you learn how you can use the reiki energy.

Reiki is no replacement for regular medicine. If you have any complaints, you should go to your GP. Reiki can however be used very well in addition to medical treatments.

Reiki is also not a miracle drug; a treatment or an attunement won't solve all your problems all at once. Reiki is a "tool" that you can use to treat your problems.
