What is Reiki

REIKI comes from the Japanese and translates as "universal life energy". The syllable "REI" describes an all-encompassing, boundless and inexhaustible energy (spirit/soul). "KI" stands for the vital life force that flows through all living things. This energy is also known in other cultures. The Indians call it "Prana" and the Chinese "Chi".

It is known from the Asian art of healing that energy (KI) must flow freely in order to live free of complaints.

"Pain is the body's cry for flowing energy."

At the same time, the word REIKI refers to an ancient healing art whose millennia-old origins lie in ancient Tibet and India. It was rediscovered and applied in Japan at the end of the 19th century by the monk Mikao Usui, who attained his enlightenment on Mount Kurama.

REIKI is independent of any particular religion, culture or belief system and is practiced by people of different religions and cultures. It is all energy guided by God (a higher power, whatever you want to call it). REIKI can be used alongside any conventional or other alternative medical treatment. REIKI is a gentle and at the same time effective energy, which gives the giver as well as the receiver a deep feeling of wholeness.
