Understanding Reiki

Updated: Aug 19, 2020

The word Reiki comes from two Japanese words - Rei and Ki.

Rei - Spiritual Wisdom and Ki - Life Energy

So Reiki is "spiritually guided life force energy."


Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It was discovered by Mikao Usui in the early 1900s. Reiki is a very powerful technique that can be easily learned by anyone 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.

Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. It has been effective in helping virtually every known illness and always creates a beneficial effect. It also works aside other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.


While Reiki is spiritual in nature, it is not a religion. It has no dogma, and there is nothing you must believe in order to learn and use Reiki. It is not dependent on belief at all and will work whether you believe in it or not. Because Reiki comes from the source or the universe.


Reiki is not only a tool for physical healing, but mental and spiritual growth as well. When Dr. Usui first formalized Reiki, he intended it to be a tool for spiritual growth. The physical healing that occurred was a side-effect of the increased awareness.


A Reiki practitioner harnesses this power through Reiki attunements, which switch on a persons ability to transfer Reiki healing to oneself and others. These attunements, given by a qualified Reiki Master, are a transmission of energy, which activate the ability to utilize Reiki. Reiki is a gift that is given to each and every one of us. By opening your mind to this energy, you will be more capable of seeing the synchronicity in your life and be able to let your life flow. You already have access to this amazing life force.


We intuitively use this type of energy. When we were children and were hurt, we were soothed by our Mothers touch. A kiss to make it better actually did ease the pain as Mother and child used this energy to soothe and heal.


Hope this has helped you understand what Reiki is & how powerful it is.
