What is Reiki Healing?

Dr. MIKAO USUI

REIKI is a Japanese technique of taking or giving universal energy to all the energy bodies. The word REIKI is derived from two Japanese words, Rei-Ki. REIKI is pronounced as Ray-Key. By taking this energy, we activate and energize the energy bodies and chakras, thus getting health (health of body and mind), wealth and prosperity.

It can also be used for stress reduction and relaxation. Though this is an INDIAN technique originating back to 600 B.C (like blessing, ashirwad), this was rediscovered and brought down to earth from the astral plane by Dr. MIKAO USUI in the early nineteen hundreds. REIKI is generally a touch healing technique, that is, by laying hands on the physical body.

REIKI can also be used as a distant healing technique. REIKI is a very simple and yet powerful healing technique, which can be learnt easily by anyone (irrespective of one’s age, caste, sex, status, etc.)

Rei

The word “Rei” means universal and has many levels of meaning, from highly esoteric to mundane. Research into the esoteric meaning of the Japanese Kanji character “Rei” has given a much deeper meaning. “Rei” as used in REIKI, is Universal Energy and love energy and is better interpreted to mean spiritual consciousness, understanding each person, knowing the cause of all problems and difficulties and knowing how to heal them. So a broader perspective can be seen and felt.

Ki

The Japanese Kanji word “Ki” means energy, which is the same as Prana in Sanskrit, Chi in Chinese and Ti or Ki in Hawaiian. It may also be called bio-plasmic energy or odic force and has been given different names in various cultures.

Ki is life force energy/universal life force, a non-physical energy that animates all living things. As long as we are alive, this energy will be flowing through us. When we die, the flow of energy ceases.

Due to many reasons the energy flowing through us is lowered and this leads to illness, inefficiency, etc. This life force energy plays an important role in every aspect of our life. Life force is also the primary energy of our thoughts, emotions, spiritual life and evolution.

Reiki is the God’s/Nature’s consciousness and so REIKI can be defined as spiritually guided life force energy. REIKI energy guides itself with its own wisdom rather than the practitioner’s direction.

Reiki symbols

Reiki symbols are from Kanji, which are actually the characters from the Japanese alphabet and the word Kanji means “Chinese characters” and so it suggests that Japanese Kanji originated in China. Each Kanji character can have different meanings depending on the context. With specific context to Reiki, the meanings of the Reiki symbols are not clearly indicated in Japanese Kanji. Also, the characters were changed over time and so the power symbol, mental and emotional symbols are different from Kanji.

The Reiki symbols have been kept secret traditionally. While secrecy is a way of honoring their sacredness, there are also metaphysical reasons. Symbols have no real power without the attunement. Symbols resonate the energy flowing through us to various areas. If a person shown the Reiki symbols without the Reiki attunement (which actually increases the energy flow), the person may incorrectly believe that he has got the Reiki energy flowing through him and not bother to take a workshop/attunement, thus missing the real experience of Reiki and losing the benefits of its healing power.

The Five Principles of REIKI

It is good for a Reiki channel to incorporate the five principles of Reiki and advocate the same to others. They are

• Just for today, I will let go of anger.
• Just for today, I will let go of my worries.
• Just for today, I will give thanks for my many blessings.
