Introduction to Reiki

Dear Fellow Spirits,

In this series of posts I will share what I have read, learnt and understood about Reiki from books, meetings with healers, masters and teachers...

Reiki was re-discovered by Mikao Usui in Japan in late 1800's.

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation which promotes healing on all levels of life. Reiki is done by "laying on hand" but as the practitioner advances distance treatments can also be done.


Word Reiki in Japanese language consists of two 'kanjis' Rei Ki.


Rei is interpreted as supernatural knowledge or spiritual consciousness. This is the wisdom that comes from God or Higher Self  which is all knowing.  It knows everythigng from the cause of all problems and what to do to heal them.




Ki means what Chi in Chinese and Prana in Sanskrit. This has been given so other names also in other culture. It has been seen that this energy phenomenon has been present in all the cultures/ regions.
Ki is the life force.





By putting the both meanings together we come to the meaning "Spiritually Guided Life Force Energy". Reiki guides itself with its own wisdom, and being unresponsive to the direction of the practitioner.

With my little experience with Reiki I have come to an understanding that Reiki can not be explained, Reiki can only be experienced.



 Love 'N' Light.....
