What is Reiki
The word Reiki is a combined Japanese word. It’s derived from the combination of the words “ray”, meaning “Universal Energy”, and describes that part of the energy that is moving freely in the Universe, and “ki”, which also means “energy”, but describes that part of the energy, which exists and circulates in the body of all living organisms, and which lead all of us to the vitality.

The word Reiki is illustated with two ideograms writing in Kanji (the traditional Chinese writing) and two of the best known versions are:

Reiki is a Natural Healing System that connects us with the World Vital Energy, which is otherwise known as Universal Energy.

It works for self therapy and for other therapy too. The energy that enters the body through a Reiki treatment, connect individual and different needs of every living organism, both in quality and quantity that is necessary for everybody.

With the System of Usui’s Natural Healing System we are able to achieve or to facilitate our personal growth and completion. And, certainly, we gain continuus and uninterrupted access to an inexhaustible source of Vitality.

What makes reiki different compared with other energy therapies or practices, is the safety it provide to us, thanks to the coordination, or harmonization or initiation – as usually these procedures are the well known – that a right and well initiated teacher offers to each person who is interested to get connected with the Universal Energy.

These techniques and how each of us can come in contact with the energy frequensy of cosmic energy, in a safe and protected way, were given to us by the Japanese Miko Usui in the early 20th century. For this reason ever since the system bears his name:  Usui’s Natural Healing System or Usui Reiki Ryoho ( 臼井靈氣療法).

Once someone is reiki, whether he/she is applying it to him/her self or to others or not, never he/she will loose the ability to get into contact with the Universal Energy.

The therapeutic action of kosmic energy through the Usui’s natural Healing System acts in the entire system of living beings, thus being able to cure any illness or serious diseases, regardless if they have already manifested in our body or not.

Distinctively, softly and with infinite gentleness the Energy reaches the roots of the very point where the cause of any disease or illness was created and recuperates it.

It works especially well at all levels, even it is the psychic, the spiritual or somatic one.
Stregth, balance, calmness, awareness and deep joy are some of the gifts that are given to us through the contact with the Usui’s Reiki Ryoho.
Of course reiki is not a medicine, neither a substitute for medical treathment.
