What is Reiki?

REIKI (pronounced ray-kee), is the Japanese word for Universal Life Force, generally identified as “Chi” by the Chinese and “prana” by the Indians; however, Reiki is actually a more subtle energy and affects the subtlest level of the biofield, which we call the subtle vibrational body, acting as a “vibrational adaptogen”, which restores harmony and balance.

Reiki is an ancient healing art. –a safe, natural healing system that is being used internationally in homes, hospitals and private practices around the world.   Reiki can help eliminate emotional, mental, and physical challenges. Research has demonstrated that Reiki is associated with decreased levels of stress hormones, improvement in immune indicators, improved blood pressure, subjective improvements in anxiety and pain, decreased heart rate, improved muscular function, improvement in mood and functioning of depressed patients, and overall enhanced well-being and increased vitality. Thus, Reiki improves circulation, promotes relaxation, speeds healing recovery, strengthens the immune system and decreases pain and discomfort.  Many of those who benefit from Reiki the most are those who are most difficult to treat– like those with fibromyalgia, AIDS, and victims of heart attacks.  Dr. Wilson claims that ” receiving Reiki energy brings us directly into contact with a vital, intelligent, creative, healing, and loving energy–a primordial consciousness–and we become more of our potential as harmony and balance is restored. ”
