Reiki (pronounced ‘ray-key’) is a Japanese “hands on” or “hands off” natural healing system that was rediscovered in the early 1920s by a Japanese Buddhist Dr Mikao Usui.

The word Reiki comes from two Japanese kanji or characters, Rei and Ki.

The upper kanji ‘Rei’ is interpreted as ‘universal’ and also means spiritual wisdom or consciousness. The lower kanji ‘Ki’ is ‘life energy’ and is similar to Chi in Chinese, Prana in Sanskrit, or Ruah in Hebrew. However, the Ki in Reiki is different from the Ki that some healers use. Reiki is spiritually guided life energy, having consciousness of its own, and can be channelled by a person who has received a Reiki attunement.

Reiki is a gentle, nonintrusive energy healing technique that is safe for babies, children and adults of all ages. It forms part of energy medicine within the scope of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) therapies. However, unlike other CAM therapies such as homeopathy or acupuncture that are used in place of conventional medicine, Reiki, as a complementary medicine, is not a substitute for orthodox medicine. Often good results are obtained by complementing professional medical care with Reiki treatments – a fact that is well demonstrated by the presence of Reiki in over 800 hospitals in America. Today Reiki is offered in many hospitals as ‘integrative medicine’ in different parts of the world.

As a natural form of healing, Reiki wonderfully complements all CAM therapies. Many massage therapists and spa owners find Reiki a very useful addition to their services.

Reiki is among the most widely opted complementary medicine in the world, thanks to its simplicity and effectiveness in the treatment of wide range of physical and emotional imbalances. Being the easiest healing method to learn, Reiki has attracted millions of people across the Globe from different cultural, religious and professional backgrounds. Students, housewives, executives, massage therapists, nursing staffs and doctors – all find Reiki a simple way to heal and harmonize physical and emotional imbalances including stress, anger and irritability.

Reiki is often considered to be a holistic healing technique for healing the whole person rather than treating just the disease. However, since the cause of severe ailments such as cancer is much deeper than physical or emotional imbalances and mostly stem from spiritual factors, you need to work on the root cause of the ailment to counter the effects, including practicing forgiveness, generosity and loving-kindness. Hence it is important to understand the principles that form part of Reiki and integrate them with your healing to take full benefit of this wondrous gift of the universe.

Moreover, as part of preventive healing, Reiki practitioners should have a healthy lifestyle and wholesome livelihood, and also diligently practice techniques for etheric hygiene that are essential to all healers. The Holistic Reiki has evolved from this integrated approach.
