Reiki: A foundation for living

Reiki works from the inside out, moving through the layers of conscious and subconscious patterns and beliefs.

by Josephine M. Joseph — 

Reiki is a vibrational healing energy technique that originates from a universal source, creating a foundation for living. Reiki principles are based on simplicity, kindness and reverence for all life.

Being attuned to life-force energy stimulates the soul’s evolution as it permeates the cells of the body, affecting how we view life. Reiki works from the inside out, moving through the layers of conscious and subconscious patterns and beliefs.

Students of Reiki learn how thoughts and emotions affect people as they experience Reiki’s transcendence. As they let go of the past, they emerge with a new basis for living — one based on universal truth, activating the love, compassion and wisdom with which everyone is born.

The core of all healing is rooted in life-force energy, which is the omniscience, omnipotent and omnipresence in all living things. Channeling life-force energy allows one to become part of a hierarchy that supplies guidance and information, thus increasing Reiki’s healing effects.

A spiritual foundation can root one in living new possibilities by instilling confidence and awareness (when taking risks) that reaches beyond conscious knowing. With Reiki as a foundation, natural instincts and intuition are developed — elevating and increasing the wisdom inherent within us.

We come to this world to develop and grow the knowledge of energy and vibration. Reiki is about connecting to a universal source of power — like plugging into an unending supply of energy, enabling the ability to live presently and authentically.
