Reiki is a spiritual healing and self improvement method that everyone can learn and use. Reiki defined in the oxford dictionary as:
“A healing technique based on the principle that the therapist can channel energy into the patient by means of touch, to activate the natural healing processes of the patient’s body and restore physical and emotional well-being.”
The word ‘Reiki’ comes from the Japanese word ‘Rei’ (means ‘universal life’) and ‘Ki’ (means ‘energy’). As the name implies reiki uses universal life energy through a medium (reiki healer) for healing. Reiki is not related to any religion or religious practice anyone can practice it.
History of Reiki
It is said that Reiki is not a newly created healing practice but it is rediscovered by a Buddhist monk named Dr. Mikao Usui. The story goes like this: while teaching in a college a student asked him that how Jesus done the healing miracle that he performed. The question made him out on the path to answer that question. After lot of searches he decided to do a 21-day meditation on Mount Kurama and it was during these 21days he received the Reiki energy and symbols.
Dr. Usui returned and decided to go to a beggar city, in the slums of Kyoto. There he spends his 7 years treat beggars and help them live a better life.
For him, reiki was a spiritual practice – an opportunity for everyone to awaken their true nature.
