Reiki is a spiritual healing art with its roots in Japanese origin. The word Reiki comes from the Japanese word (Rei) which means "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power" , "Universal Life" and (Ki) which means ""life force Energy

So Reiki is actually "spiritually guided life force energy." Reiki is not affiliated with any particular religion or religious practice. Reiki is spiritual in nature. In fact, Reiki is not dependent on belief at all and will work whether you believe in it or not. Because Reiki comes from God, many people find that using Reiki puts them more in touch with the experience of their religion rather than having only an intellectual concept of it.

Reiki is believed to have been associated with Mikao Usui who is credited with rediscovering the root system now called Reiki. He recommended that one practice certain simple ethical ideals to promote peace and harmony, which are nearly universal across all cultures.

Reiki energy is a subtle energy. It is different than electricity or chemical energy or other kinds of physical energy. Reiki energy comes from the Higher Power, which exists on a higher dimension than the physical world we are familiar with. When viewed clairvoyantly, Reiki energy appears to come down from above and to enter the top of the practitioners head after which if flows through the body and out the hands. It appears to flow this way because of our perspective. However, the true source of Reiki energy is within ourselves. This does not mean that we use our personal energy when we do Reiki, but that the energy is coming from a transcendental part of ourselves that is connected to an infinite supply of healing energy.

A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing. Many have reported miraculous results.

Reiki has had a positive affect on all forms of illness and negative conditions. Many people use Reiki for wellness. Reiki is not a cure for a disease or illness, but it may assist the body in creating an environment to facilitate healing. Reiki is a great tool to use as a complement to traditional medicine and is practiced in many hospitals and medical care settings. Reiki is a great tool for stress reduction and relaxation.

Since Reiki is guided by the Higher Power, the Reiki energy will know the condition of the client or student and adjust appropriately. Reiki can only do good.

It operates on three levels ---- BODY MIND AND SOUL.

BODY is the visible part of being ---- pratyakshya sharer or ethereal body

MIND called as -----CHITTA or MAANA apparently exists just in our thought process

SOUL called as ----- the SOOKSHMA sharer or ASTRAL BODY is of molecular size and not directly visible

The SOUL is actually said to be our REAL SELF which is actually operating our BODY and MIND and providing energy to sustain.

REIKI works on the astral body revitalizing the entire being.

REIKI though a healing technique can be used to fulfill your financial, emotional, physical and spiritual goals, making yourself sufficient in every sphere of life, can be used any place any time working ONLY for positive pursuits.
