What is Reiki?

 

 

Essence of Reiki

 

Reiki is the Universal energy of the highest order.  Reikiho is the utilization technique of Reiki energy that makes our lives peaceful, rich and meaningful.

     As we all learned in our high school chemistry classes, all matters are made of molecules, molecules of atoms, and atoms of even more miniscule particulates.  And what are these particulates made of?  The most recent subatomic physics tells us that they are made of vibrations, i.e., energies with different frequencies.

     Reikiho starts with physical healing techniques, but its ultimate goal is to make ourselves whole - physically, mentally and spiritually.

Reiki is an energy characterized by love, harmony and healing.

     Just as we are made of vibrations, Reiki energy is also one of the vibrations that abound in the Universe.  It is the energy of love, harmony and healing that resonates with human consciousness, or spiritual awareness.  It is a gift from the Universe that leads us to health and happiness.

Usui Reiki Ryoho, which is the healing technique using Reiki, was developed by Mikao Usui Sensei in 1922.

Reikiho is now practiced by over 5,000,000 people worldwide as a technique for mind and body healing and personal development.

The first step in Reikiho is hands-on healing of the body and mind.  Spiritual growth follows, as the body and mind are restored to their original state of health.

The ultimate goal of Reikiho is to attain the state of Anshin Ritsumei - spiritual peace and happiness, which is to regain the ideal state of the soul, mind and body and become whole again.

“Reiki,” although a generic Japanese word meaning “ethereal/miraculous ki,” was adopted by Mikao Usui Sensei to describe the healing energy he acquired upon Mount Kurama.
