Reiki - An Amazing Japanese Energy
Healing Technique
Reiki is one of the more popular therapies in the group of Energy
Healing Therapies. It is a Japanese energy healing technique for
treating physical as well as emotional issues in a holistic manner. It
was rediscovered in the mid 1800’s by a Japanese born Buddhist
monk, Dr. Mikao Usui. The word Reiki is made up of two Japanese
words – Rei which means God's Wisdom or the Higher Power and
Ki which is life force energy. So, it is a subtle and effective form of
energy work using spiritually guided life force energy for healing
and well-being of all living beings including plants and animals. It is
an absolutely drugless therapy and does not involve use of any
medicine whatsoever.
There is a non- physical ubiquitous universal energy that gives life
to every organism. Our ancestors have known of this energy for
thousands of years and have sought to develop ways and means
to harness its power to heal and influence our lives. The Japanese
call it Ki, the Chinese call it Chi and in India we call it Prana Shakti.
Western world call this as Holy Spirit or Life Forse Energy, Many
successful discipline s such as Reiki, meditation, Pranayam, Qi
Kong, Tai Chi etc. have been developed to control and enhance
the flow of this energy in and around the body. The energy itself is
pure and omniscient wisdom.
Reiki is a powerful healing therapy that works through the entire
energy channels of our body covering all levels of our existence
i.e. physical body, energy body, emotional body, mental body and
spiritual body. It is a simple, natural and safe therapy that balances
life energies and brings forth health and well-being in all living
