Reiki pronounced " Ray - Key " is the must powerful natural healing energy which is as old as the universe itself. This universal healing energy is for everyone regardless of the colour of the persons skin, their politics and religious status.

It originated in Tibet and was discovered by Dr Mikao Usui in the early nineteenth century, while Meditating on Mt Kurama in Japan. He received the "secret keys" to this universal energy he passed on this special knowledge to his students through oral instruction and initiations. The students who had been initiated were able to heal themselves, family and friends. During further work and personal growth they practiced on people in the community.

Dr Hyashi initated Hawayo Takata into the Mastery, she then brought the universal healing energy to the western world. She changed the face of teaching students. Before her passing from the physical life in December 1980 she had initiated twenty-two Reiki Masters. The classes are now taught world wide by many Reiki Masters and freely advertised in every corner of the world.

There are two sides in my and experience to Reiki, a commercial product or a spiritual path. Which ever side you play on the Reiki energy grows deeper on the foundation of Respect, Honour and Gratitude, not just to your self but also to your life style and the people who join in on your journey through life.

Reiki is a universal healing energy to be used primarily for self healing, spiritual and personal growth, secondly to share with family, friends, the community and finally with the world.

Which Reiki

There are many different schools of thought about Reiki which is now known by various names, as as Usui Reiki, Reiki Tibetan, Reiki Shamballa, Reiki Sacred Path, Reiki Ascension, Tera Mai Reiki, Seichem, Karuna, Traditional Japanese Reiki, etc.

They all originated from Mikao Usui experience. Each one of these uses a different method to focus and attract the Reiki healing energy. Each style of Reiki has slightly different techniques and symbols. As with all things it is human nature to keep reinventing the wheel.

I have been intiated and trained in the Original Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki and attune people to this healing energy.

There is a belief in the Reiki community that Reiki finds you, it comes into your life at the right time, for what ever reason, but usually as a self-healing need.

Many of the Reiki Masters and Practitioners have a success story to share, including me. This is not the time or place to share the details with you. However if you are interest it will appear shortly and hopefully others will share there tales as well. The common dominator is our lives have changed for the better. Regardless of the Colour of our Skins, Life Styles, our Political or Religious beliefs.

Reiki Flows

Once initiated Reiki is always present in the time of panic, anxiety, grief, we are able to place our hands on the body and the Reiki flows. Some clients have expressioned that loved ones who receive a treatment at the passing of their physical self on to the spiritual life have seemed more at peace, especially if they have suffered with a long and hardious disease. Many clients have expressioned to me how the energy helps them through their cancer treatments, other operations and in times of stress.

Mrs Takara always told her students " Hands on - Reiki On, Hands off - Reiki Off".

I do not think you can get any simpler than that. She taught Reiki in Three levels, with a period of time between each level. There are many schools of thought on how long to wait between Level 1 and Level 2. You will know what is best for you, as the Reiki grows with in you.

Reiki always works for the highest good, but not always in the way we expect.

If you have any concerns about your health, I strongly recommend a check up with your Doctor or Hospital Consultant. Reiki complements the healing process and heals the body on a emotional and spiritual level, which helps to relieve the physical symptoms of illness such as pain, tension and anxiety.
