FAQ on Reiki

What is Reiki ?   Very simply, Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is an ancient technique of healing body, mind, and spirit using gentle touch to direct life energy. This hands-on healing art was re-discovered in the early 1900's by Mikao Usui in Japan. Reiki is not a religion; however many people report spiritual experiences during a treatment and/or class.
What does Reiki mean? The word Reiki is made up of two Japanese words Rei and Ki. The most accepted translation for Rei is universal knowledge. It represents that which is all knowing. Ki translates to life energy. You may have heard the Chinese term, Chi, which is the same thing. Another common definition of Reiki is "Universal Life Energy."
How do you use Reiki? Reiki can be used to promote relaxation, relieve discomfort, and reduce stress. Reiki facilitates healing and works in harmony with other treatments enhancing their effects.
How does Reiki work? Ki, or life energy, must flow freely and be balanced for us to be healthy. If Ki is blocked or disrupted, it can manifest itself in an illness. When a person receives a Reiki treatment, the Rei, or universal knowledge, directs the Ki to the area of the body where the Ki has been blocked. The Reiki energy does not come from the Reiki practitioner themselves so it has unlimited potential as it flows from the universe.
What do I experience during a Reiki session? Reiki sessions are very relaxing to the body, mind, and spirit. Reiki sessions are always done while you are fully clothed. You are asked to remove your shoes, belt, and jewelry to aid your comfort. Soft music plays in the background and an eye pillow is available. You may feel tingling, warmth, vibrations, or other sensations while receiving the Reiki energy. You possibly may experience emotional release, tranquility, and you may even fall asleep for a few moments as the body releases stress and tension. Each session is unique as Reiki goes where it is needed.
Who can learn Reiki? While Reiki is a powerful technique, anyone can learn to use it. For information on the next scheduled Reiki class please call Nila at 541-215-1633.
