The Japanese word 'Rei' means Universal and 'Ki' meaning Life Force Energy. This energy is of the highest form, the very essence that supports life.

In a Reiki treatment the practitioner places their hands upon the recipient in various positions. The practitioner channels Reiki energy through their crown which flows out of the hands into the healee.

The recipient usually feels the hands 'heat up', and the treatment promotes a feeling of wellbeing and relaxation. Reiki has it's own intelligence and goes wherever it is needed. It helps to release energy blockages, helping to heal the physical, emotional, mental, spiritual and the aura.

When one is initiated into Reiki they become a channel for life. You can be initiated into Reiki by a Reiki Master. Their are 3 sometimes 4 levels to learn depending on the Reiki Teacher.

How many levels you wish to learn is a personal choice. You may wish to have Reiki to treat yourself regularly or go further and treat others/become a practitioner and eventually be able to initiate others into Reiki.
