That Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing? It is administered by “laying on hands” and is based on the idea that an unseen “life force energy” flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one’s “life force energy” is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.
The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words – Rei which means “God’s Wisdom or the Higher Power” and Ki which is “life force energy”. So Reiki is actually “spiritually guided life force energy.”
I believe Jesus of Nazareth was the greatest Reiki master who ever lived, but he also made it clear that we all possess the same abilities he had, if we only learn to use them. What is the first thing we all do if we get an injury or have a pain? We instinctively put our hand over it, because our highest self knows that is where the healing energy comes through, whether our conscious minds knows it or not.
I used to host monthly Reiki healing circles when I was in Florida, and can say that the energy channeled is amazing. There is nothing strange, new age or religious about it. It is ancient and natural.
