Reiki is a Japanese word that means “Universal Life Energy.” It has been defined as that power which acts and lives in all matter. We are all born with this universal energy flowing freely through us, yet as we grow older, because of stress and poor health habits, most of us generally shut down our channel of energy and can eventually develop cellular deterioration, sickness, fatigue and disease. Reiki is specifically used to bring the universal life force back into the body in order to strengthen and rebalance the body’s energy centers. Once realigned, the energy flows freely and begins a healing process on physical, emotional and mental levels.

Who is Reiki Good For?

What makes Reiki so special is that it is good for everybody. Just what the doctor ordered! It can be used on adults, children, pets, plants and food to create optimum health and energy in all living things.

For more extreme cases, Reiki is excellent for those recovering from surgery. It can be used to help repair broken bones and tissue in a non-painful and rapid time frame. It is also recommended for patients who under go radiation treatments, been in accidents, have trauma, eating disorders or for those who are recovering from addictions. Because it directly taps into energy, it speeds up and enhances the healing process. Many scientific studies have reported that Reiki works extremely well with Western Medicine and is now being used more and more in hospitals and clinics around the nation because of its growing popularity and dramatic results.

For those who have high stress levels or experience pain such as migraines, tension in the shoulders, neck and back, Reiki can be used to release agitation and balance the nervous system. It’s even great for those who are in excellent shape, like athletes. Dancers and people who practice yoga because it energetically creates a balance in the over all human system as it joins together the emotional, mental and physical bodies.

No matter how extreme or mild the case, Reiki is a gentle and wonderful way to achieve optimum health and energy.
