Introduction to Reiki
Reiki is a holistic healing practice that originated in Japan in the early 20th century. The word "Reiki" is derived from two Japanese words: "rei," which means universal, and "ki," which means life force energy. Reiki is based on the belief that there is a universal life force energy that flows through all living things and that this energy can be harnessed and channeled to promote healing, relaxation, and overall well-being.

The practice of Reiki involves the practitioner acting as a conduit for this healing energy, transmitting it to the recipient through their hands. Reiki is typically performed through a light, non-invasive touch or even with the hands hovering slightly above the recipient's body. The intention of Reiki is to restore balance and harmony to the body's energy system, facilitating the natural healing processes.
Reiki is not affiliated with any specific religious or spiritual belief system, making it accessible and adaptable to individuals from all backgrounds. It is used as a complementary therapy alongside conventional medical treatments to support the body's healing journey.

Holistic Approach: Reiki takes a holistic approach to healing, addressing not only the physical symptoms but also the underlying emotional and energetic aspects of a person. It is often used to reduce stress, alleviate pain, enhance relaxation, and promote overall well-being.
Chakras and Energy Centers: Reiki practitioners often work with the concept of chakras, which are energy centers located throughout the body. Each chakra is associated with specific qualities and functions. Reiki helps balance and align these energy centers.
Attunements: Reiki practitioners undergo a process called attunement or initiation, conducted by a Reiki Master. Attunements open the practitioner's energy channels and enable them to channel healing energy more effectively. Different levels of attunements correspond to different levels of Reiki practice.
Self-Healing: Reiki can be practiced for self-healing. Individuals can learn techniques to channel Reiki energy to themselves, promoting their own well-being and personal growth.
Distance Healing: Reiki is not limited by physical proximity. Practitioners can send healing energy across distances, allowing for remote or distance healing sessions.
Complementary Therapy: Reiki is often used as a complementary therapy alongside conventional medical treatments. It is not a replacement for medical care but can support the body's healing processes.
