Reiki Information & Events:

Whether it be Reiki, or the sweet intention of love flowing from one heart to another heart, the ability to heal is as natural an impulse as any other. Reiki is one form or system of this flowing “love.” Throughout time mankind has initiated many systems to answer this need.

Reiki stands for the non-physical energy which creates and maintains a balanced and healthy body, spirit and world. It is around you, within you, it vibrates from the earth, within water and it descends from Heaven. When this energy is blocked it is because there is an imbalance. Rei represents universal intelligence, which focuses and directs life force energy where it most is needed. You need not direct it at all.
The name of this force is Universal Life Force Energy (or Chi, Ki, Prana, Mana, etc. There are literally hundreds of names for it). When Reiki is directed and intended to be transmitted from one person to another, it increases the availability of that energy in the body and its intelligence moves it towards what needs to be healed.
Reiki is transmitted hands on by gentle touch.

How is it learned? Reiki is taught by a person that has been initiated to all levels of Reiki and has the name of Reiki Master. This is achieved by taking a series of classes that teach the system and offer attunements to open up that facility within us. Mostly a consciousness raising or awareness, because even without Reiki, healing has always been a natural part of the human experience.

In my opinion, one of the greatest wonders of Reiki is that is does not require the practitioner or receiver, to embrace any religious or spiritual ideals or concepts. It has emerged in the last 80 years during a time of great spiritual seeking, awakening and especially in the modern times of the change of the millennium, to its greatest audience. To a world in great need of such healing.
