intelligence and knows exactly where to go, what to do and needs no "direction" from the practitioner. It puts the person treated in a "space" where many positive responses can occur, some of these being: calming and relaxation, feelings of peace and joy, relief from pain and inflammation, fatigue, insomnia, etc.  Since Reiki is guided by the God-consciousness, it can never do harm.

Reiki is a pure form of healing, not dependent on individual talent or acquired ability. The feeling of being connected directly to God's healing love and protection is clearly apparent. This energy works to harmonize, or bring into balance, the total you: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual.

You can easily learn to give Reiki treatments to yourself - a daily treatment is recommended- to family, friends, clients, enriching your sense of giving and receiving. The use of Reiki as a relaxation and stress reducing technique is becoming accepted and widespread; and is totally compatible with all other healing modalities.

How Does Reiki Work?

We are alive because life force is flowing through us. Life force flows within the physical body though pathways called chakras, and meridians. It also flows around us in a field of energy called the aura. Life force nourishes the organs and cells of the body, supporting them in their vital functions. When this flow of life force is disrupted, it causes diminished function in one or more of the organs and tissues of the physical body.

The life force is responsive to thoughts and feelings. It becomes disrupted when we accept, either consciously or unconsciously, negative thoughts or feelings about ourselves. These negative thoughts and feelings attach themselves to the energy field and cause a disruption in the flow of life force. This diminishes the vital function of the organs and cells of the physical body.

Reiki heals by flowing through the affected parts of the energy field and charging them with positive energy. It raises the vibratory level of the energy field in and around the physical body where the negative thoughts and feelings are attached. This causes the negative energy to break apart and fall away. In so doing, Reiki clears, straightens and heals the energy pathways, thus allowing the life force to flow in a healthy and natural way.

Reiki Can Never Cause Harm

Because Reiki is guided by the God-consciousness, it can never do harm. It always knows what a person needs and will adjust itself to create the effect that is appropriate for them. One never need worry about whether to give Reiki or not. It is always helpful. In addition, because the practitioner does not direct the healing and does not decide what to work on, or what to heal, the practitioner is not in danger of taking on the karma of the client. Because the practitioner is not doing the healing, it is also much easier for the ego to stay out of the way and allow the presence of God to clearly shine through.

Energy is Never Depleted

Because it is a channeled healing, the Reiki practitioner's energies are never depleted. In fact, the Reiki consciousness considers both practitioner and client to be in need of healing, so both receive treatment. Because of this, giving a treatment always increases one's energy and leaves one surrounded with loving feelings of well-being.

Brief History:

Dr. Mikao Usui who was born in Japan in the 1800's is credited with the rediscovery of what we call "Reiki". No written records are known to exist about Dr. Usui's experience. All current information about Dr. Usui and the history of Reiki originate from the stories passed on from subsequent Reiki Masters.

Dr. Usui was a teacher and when asked by his students how the Buddha healed people (it should be noted that another version of the story has the students asking how Jesus healed people) he set off on a spiritual journey to find the Keys to that special healing ability. Dr. Usui traveled throughout Japan, studying at Buddhist temples and asking questions on healing. Dr. Usui learned Chinese and eventually Sanskrit and it was in the Indian Sutras, written in Sanskrit, that he discovered a formula for contacting a higher power that could bestow healing. With this information he traveled to Mount Kuri Yama, where he fasted, meditated and followed the directions in the formula for twenty-one days. On the 21st day, a powerful light struck him in the middle of the forehead. He was shown beautiful colored bubbles, each containing a symbol. As he contemplated each symbol, he received an Attunement from each symbol and the knowledge on its use. In this way he was initiated into the use of the Reiki healing power. Later, and again in meditation, Dr. Usui was given further guidance that concerned the healing of the spirit and the responsibility of the healee in the healing process. He was, at that time, given the five Principles of Reiki.

Dr. Usui practiced and taught Reiki throughout Japan for the remainder of his life. Before this transition he asked one of his students, Dr. Chujiro Hayashi, to preserve the Reiki teaching. Up to this point, the Usui system of healing (Usui Shiki Ryoho) consisted of the energy itself, the symbols, the attunement process and the Reiki principles. Dr. Hayashi opened a Reiki clinic in Tokyo and kept detailed records of the treatments given. From this information he created the standard hand positions, the system of three degrees and their initiation process. He initiated Mrs. Hawayo Takata of Hawaii into Reiki mastership before World War II.

Before his transition, some say that Dr. Hayashi chose Mrs. Takata to preserve the Reiki teaching. Others say that she was only one of the ones chosen to carry on the Reiki tradition. Mrs. Takata brought Reiki to the western world.
