✨ Traditional Usui Reiki –
Answers to many commonly asked questions…
Many people sense that body, mind, and soul are more than the sum of their parts. But how can we strengthen that connection when stress, worries, or illness throw us off balance?
A gentle yet profound answer to this question is Reiki – a method that channels universal life energy to promote well-being and inner harmony.
What Is Reiki?
Reiki (pronounced Ray-Kee) originates from Japan and literally means “universal life energy.”
This energy, as it is understood in Reiki, is present everywhere and flows through all living things.
The Japanese monk Mikao Usui developed this practice in the early 20th century as a way to consciously direct life energy in order to support healing and restore balance on all levels of being.
Reiki is not a religion, nor does it require any specific belief system. It is a form of energy work that combines mindfulness, awareness, and the clear intention of giving and receiving.
How Reiki Works:
During a Reiki session, the practitioner serves as a channel for universal life energy. By gently placing their hands on or just above the recipient’s body, the practitioner allows this energy to flow wherever it is needed most.
This flow of energy does not “come from” the practitioner, but rather reminds the body of its natural ability to regulate and heal itself. Many people describe sensations of warmth, tingling, lightness, or deep relaxation during a session.
Reiki can help to:
-reduce stress and calm the nervous system
-activate the body’s self-healing abilities
-release emotional blockages
-improve sleep and inner peace
-enhance overall well-being
Distance Reiki – Healing Beyond Space and Time
A fascinating aspect of Reiki is that it is not limited by space or time. Just as thoughts, emotions, or prayers can reach others across distance, Reiki energy can also be sent remotely – this is known as Distance Reiki
The physical distance does not matter – what matters is the practitioner’s inner state of mindfulness, love, and pure intention. The effect unfolds individually: sometimes subtle and serene, sometimes more tangible and immediate.
It’s important to note: Reiki is not a substitute for medical treatment, but it can serve as a gentle, complementary support. It invites us to reconnect with ourselves and to come into harmony with our own life energy.
Conclusion:
Reiki is an invitation to reconnect – with ourselves, with life, and with the energy that flows through all things. Whether through direct touch or across distance, Reiki reminds us that healing is not always something we do, but often something we simply allow 💫
