Reiki is a Japanese hands-on healing technique used widely for stress reduction and relaxation as well as for energetic and spiritual healing. The Japanese word "rei" means Divine Power or Higher Wisdom and the word "ki" means life force energy. Ki is the same force as the yogic "prana" or Chinese "chi" or "Qi."
Reiki involves the laying on of hands and movement of the therapist's hands throughout the clients auric energy field. The reiki practitioner channels the spiritually guided life force energy to help balance and heal the client's energy field.
Our energetic field has direct impact and interaction with our physical and mental bodies. By helping to balance and heal any trauma in the energy field, we can directly affect the whole.
My version of the daily precepts of a Reiki practitioner:
For today: I release all anger For today: I release all fear, worry and anxiety. For today: I am grateful for my many blessings. For today: I am kind to all beings. For today: I do my work with honesty and integrity. ~ Not my will but thine be done in me and through me. Let me ever be a channel of blessings. Let my coming and my going out Be in accord with what you would have me do. Only that which is for the highest good May be present and all else must depart.
