Reiki is a Japanese energy healing technique that uses gentle hand positions or intention to channel universal life force energy. The word itself comes from "Rei" (universal) and "Ki" (life energy).
The Five Principles of Reiki
Reiki practice is built on five simple ethical principles:
- Just for today, do not worry.
- Just for today, do not anger.
- Honor your parents, teachers and elders.
- Earn your living honestly.
- Show gratitude to every living thing.
These principles guide both the healer and the receiver toward a calmer, more mindful life.
What Happens in a Session?
During a Reiki session, the recipient usually lies down fully clothed. The practitioner places hands lightly on or just above the body. Many people feel warmth, tingling or deep relaxation. Reiki is not a massage and involves no manipulation.
Is Reiki a Medical Treatment?
No. Reiki is a complementary wellness practice. It is not intended to diagnose, treat or cure any medical condition. It can be used alongside, but never in place of, professional medical care.
