Reiki is a Japanese energy practice in which the hands are placed gently on or near the body to help life energy flow. The word “Reiki” has two parts: “Rei”, meaning higher intelligence or universal consciousness, and “Ki”, meaning life energy. Together, Reiki means “life energy guided by universal consciousness”.
Reiki is a complementary practice: it sits alongside medicine and conventional treatment and does not replace them. People all over the world use it for relaxation, stress relief and greater harmony of body, mind and spirit.
Where does Reiki come from?
Reiki in its modern form was founded by the Japanese teacher Mikao Usui in the early twentieth century. The well-known story says that after days of fasting and meditation on Mount Kurama he received a deep realisation of this energy and created a simple method for passing it on and teaching it. The method later travelled from Japan to America and Europe, and today it is taught in most countries of the world.
How does Reiki work?
In the Reiki view, a human being is not only a physical body; we also have layers of energy, emotion and awareness. Stress, fear, suppressed anger and old wounds can make the flow of this energy heavy and slow. During Reiki, the practitioner becomes a channel for the energy, which goes intelligently where it is most needed.
Importantly, the practitioner does not spend their own energy; they are only a channel. This is why the practitioner, too, feels light and calm after a session.
What is a Reiki attunement?
To be able to channel Reiki for yourself and others, you receive an “attunement” from a Reiki Master. An attunement is like opening a door through which the energy can flow easily. After the attunement this ability stays with you for life and grows stronger with daily practice.
How can Reiki help me?
- Deep calm and release from daily tension
- Better sleep and a quieter mind
- Better understanding of your emotions and the repeating patterns of your life
- More kindness toward yourself and others, based on the five Reiki principles
- Soothing support alongside medical treatment
Where should I start?
The best starting point is the Reiki Level 1 Holy Fire® course. At this level you receive the attunement, learn to give Reiki to yourself and, with a 21-day plan, experience the energy in your daily life. After that, Level 2, Master and Karuna Reiki® take the path deeper.
