~ FAQ’s:

1. What is Reiki?

Reiki is a holistic restorative method, developed by a Japanese
physician, Dr. Mikao Usui, in the early 1900’s. He taught it to his
disciple Dr. Chujiro Hayashi, who in turn taught it to Hawayo Takarta.
Takarta brought the technique to the West, practicing from 1937 to
1980. Reiki is a non-invasive healing technique that employs pure
energy. The word “Reiki” comes from two Japanese characters: “Rei,”
meaning “universal soul,” and “Ki,” meaning “energy”—thus “universal
life force energy.” The theory of Reiki is that health and well-being
are our natural state, including the healthy flow of universal life
force energy (Reiki) in us. But due to life’s unavoidable
difficulties, challenges and traumas, blocks to that energy are
created, resulting in various types of mental, emotional and physical
symptoms. Reiki works to remove the underlying causes of such
symptoms, restore free-flowing balance and harmony of body, mind and
spirit—thereby eliminating dis-ease.

2. What happens in the Reiki Circle?

A Reiki circle is a gathering of people who are interested in Reiki.
This can include anyone from complete beginners who have only heard
the word “Reiki,” to advanced practitioners who have been practicing
Reiki for decades. Reiki circles are used to explain, teach, and
share about Reiki, including hands-on healing—giving and receiving
Reiki. It is also a great opportunity to meet like-minded people and
make Reiki friends.

3. What should I wear for Reiki?

Wear loose, comfortable clothing, to aid relaxation.

4. How can Reiki help me? Can Reiki relieve pain?

Reiki is both restorative and preventative. It gently encourages a
person’s system towards its own unique balance. Because of these
properties, Reiki can be of real benefit to almost anyone, whether
healthy and wanting to stay that way, or in addressing a specific
health concern or life issue/situation. Examples are artists who use
Reiki to stimulate creativity, and athletes who use it to speed bodily
recovery. Reiki can be utilized alongside both conventional and
alternative medicine and therapies, to promote quicker and more
effective calming of the nervous system, restoration of bodily
balance, and reduction of pain.
