Reiki means Universal Life Force Energy. REI / 靈 means ‘universal life” or ‘spirit’ and KI / 氣 means ‘energy’. It is also called ‘Chi’ ‘Ki’ ‘Prana’ or sometimes consciousness in other practices. It is the intelligence which makes all living things. it is Universal Love, and Life itself.

When a conception happens, a cell starts to divide. Each cell keeps multiplying, but at some point, cells find purpose to become bones, muscles, organs, etc. This intelligence makes cells into our amazing bodies.

When you get a cut, it gets healed without you really thinking or knowing how. Your body starts healing by itself. Other examples are your hair and finger nails keep growing, your body eliminate what is not need, you get fever to fight the virus in your body, etc. Your body orchestrates to maintain your balance constantly, and we are all born with this amazing intelligence and healing power within us.

Of course, the same is true for all living things on our planet. Reiki refers to this energy all around us and within us.

As a healing modality, Reiki practice is to connect you to this intelligence to heal and restore the balance of our body-mind energy fields. Reiki practitioner is a channel between a recipient and Universal Life Force Energy, allowing the energy to flow where the healing is needed.

Reiki is deeply relaxing, gentle, and empowering way to promote wellbeing in all level. It can work on not only physical, but also emotional, mental, and spiritual level, and helps restore the one’s natural ability to heal holistically.

Reiki originated in Japan, found by Mikao Usui in 1922. During his spiritual training in Mt. Kurama, he experienced a spiritual awakening which gave him a powerful healing ability. He developed the healing technique called ‘Shin shin kai zen Usui Reiki ryoho /心身改善臼井靈氣療法 (Usui Reiki healing practice for mind and body) which gained popularity in Japan. Usui also taught this technique and Reiki has been passed down from Masters to Masters. Now Reiki is widespread throughout the world.
