What is Reiki?
Reiki an ancient Japanese technique of healing has been practiced for centuries now. The technique requires the Reiki healer to lay his hands over the being to transfer Reiki energy into them. The energy thus transferred is not created by the Reiki healer but it comes from the environment around them. The Reiki technique is based on the principle that there is an unidentified energy source available in the environment through which “life force energy" flows through us. This “life force energy” is what keeps us all alive and a depletion in this energy level leads to sickness.
The word Reiki is from the Japanese origin wherein Rei means "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power" and Ki means "life force energy".
Reiki technique uses the life force energy to heal, by harmonizing the underlying energies within our bodies. Reiki heals the physical as well as emotional imbalances. The Reiki practitioner serves as a medium and allows the energy to flow through himself towards the person requiring the Reiki treatment.
Today Reiki is being used together with other contemporary medical treatments in healing incurable diseases like Cancer. Special Reiki departments are being introduced in the hospitals to calm down the patients before major surgeries. In many parts of the western world pregnant women are opting for Reiki rather than for epidural to relieve pain during labor.
Though this is an ancient technique of healing but in the recent past it has been reinvented and is gaining tremendous popularity.
