What is Reiki and how can it benefit me?

Reiki energy heals on the physical, etheric, emotional, mental and spiritual levels to restore perfect health, balance and harmony in every way.

Reiki is an ancient healing art that originated in Japan and is based on the principle that our bodies are ultimately made of energy and light.

The word Reiki stands for “a ray of ki.” Ki is also known as chi, prana, Holy Spirit or life force energy and is actually the air we breathe to stay alive. It is the same energy that makes flowers bloom, grass and trees grow and that creates and sustains life in all beings.

When Reiki is invoked, a higher flow of this vital life force energy actually floods the body and restores the energy to every cell of our being, which creates health and well-being.

Our bodies need oxygen (our life force energy), exercise, water and healthy, nutritional, energized organic foods to maintain health and well-being. Pesticides sprayed on crops kill the life force energy in the foods our bodies need to stay healthy. Reiki restores this vital life force energy to our food, water and body to heal, harmonize and balance every part of it.

So, if you are suffering from any type of ailment — no matter what it is — Reiki can and will heal the problem in due time if the increased levels of energy are sustained. Just as the air we breathe knows what needs to happen in nature to maintain harmony and balance, this same energy knows what humans need to maintain health, harmony, balance and well-being.

If you or your loved ones have any type of ailment or disease in body or mind, the root cause ultimately stems from a lack of this life force energy. Science has proven that cancer is caused by a lack of oxygen in the cells. Reiki is the energy that helps the body heal from this lack of oxygen, as oxygen equates to energy.

The stresses, pollutants, pesticides, junk foods and lack of exercise in our daily lives are the reasons why people suffer from diseases. When attuned to Reiki, the body permanently begins to take in this higher flow of pure life force energy, enabling it to restore itself back to health.

Reiki healing energy can be used on any living being, whether it is a person, animal, plant or any property on the earth. It can be used to restore finances, achieve a goal, to better study habits and grades in school or improve a relationship, mental attitude or any given situation.

Reiki energy heals on the physical, etheric, emotional, mental and spiritual levels to restore perfect health, balance and harmony in every way. There is no need to diagnose whatever health issue you may be challenged by, as this divine energy knows what needs healing and travels to the perfect place to create that healing.
