Reiki, also known as the Usui System of Natural Healing, was developed in Japan during the last century and has been practiced in this country for more than five decades.

Reiki is based upon the channeling of universal life force energy, the energy that pervades and surrounds all life. Through methods, techniques and practices one learns to focus and direct this energy for specific purposes and outcomes of self-healing.

Reiki may be experienced and practiced in a number of ways. A most common introduction is to receive a "hands on" session with a practitioner.

A massage table provides ideal comfort for the practitioner and the recipient during the 60 - 90 minute session. The Reiki  practitioner places her hands in the specific positions on the recipient's fully clothed body or works within the energy fields.

Reiki understands each person completely.  It knows the cause of all problems or difficulties.  It comes directly from God and is available to everyone. 

While Reiki sessions are a wonderful way of maintaining a sense of wellness and well-being, there are other reasons people have chosen to receive Reiki including:

	Promotes from within: calmness, serenity, inner harmony, compassion and trust.
	Heals the cause and effects of imbalances by loosening blocked energy.
	Reduces and minimizes physical pain and discomfort due to illness.
	Relieves daily stress and promotes relaxation, restoring personal energy and vitality.
	Works well with and compliments traditional medical treatments.
	Promotes self-awareness so you can change situations in your life for the better.

HOW DOES REIKI HEAL

When a person receives a Reiki session, God’s Consciousness assesses where the person has blocks and then directs the healing energy, usually to the block that is nearest the hands. However, sometimes it will go to the block that is most important even if it is far from the hands. The Reiki energy then works with the negative thoughts and feelings that are blocking one's natural flow and releases them.

REIKI CAN BE COMPLEMENTARY

You can continue to receive regular medical or psychological treatment while receiving Reiki. Reiki works to improve the results of medical treatment, acting to reduce negative side effects, such as those from chemotherapy, surgery and invasive procedures. Regular sessions may shorten healing time, reduce or eliminate pain, reduce stress and create optimism.

WHAT REIKI IS NOT

Reiki is not a religion or religious cult. It has no dogma or specific doctrine of beliefs. Reiki works whether you or the recipient believes in it or not.

Reiki is not channeling, a form of mind control or hypnosis; it is not based on imagination, wishful thinking or visualization and is not dependent upon a certain state of mind. It is not necessary to be in a meditative state to effectively do Reiki.

Reiki does not involve E.S.P. or unusual psychic phenomenon; is not a form of psychic healing or psychic surgery and is not a massage technique.

WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM REIKI

Everyone can benefit from Reiki.

The Reiki method is particularly useful to doctors, pediatricians, nurses, psychologists, non-medical therapists, and all those who care for elderly people. Patients in intensive care units can also benefit greatly from Reiki. Babies and small children are very receptive to energies. Their senses have not yet developed the protective defense mechanisms of adults.

In the healing and caring professions, when normal human contact is important, physical touch treatments, and massages gain a quite different quality when they include Reiki. Elderly and sick people benefit from it on many levels. When their enjoyment of life diminishes, they become sick more frequently and, because of their condition, are then often bedridden. Reiki can nourish and energize such individuals.

It comes as little surprise that after experiencing the benefits of a Reiki session many people wish to learn more about Reiki.  Anyone can learn Reiki as it is a natural part of our essence.

The Usui System of Natural Healing includes three levels of training. The first two levels are practitioner levels and the third, or master level, is available for those who wish to teach Reiki.
