What is Reiki?
Reiki is a Japanese healing method that was discovered in the early 1900's by the Buddhist monk Mikao Usui. Reiki is probably derived from medicinal Qi Gong. Literally, Reiki comes from the Japanese words rei (universal) and ki (energy, life force).
Reiki is a "hands-on" therapy - using very light pressure, or at times even working off the body - where the Reiki energy is "channelled" by the therapist. The principle of Reiki healing is that the therapist functions as a "channel" or "guide" for the Reiki energy, and the receiver is the one who "attracts" this energy. Reiki is one of the least intrusive therapies I know of.
About
how I got into Reiki
I have first heard
of Reiki in 1998. At first, the idea of "energy channeling" seemed very
strange to me. My initial training was as a scientist! However, after
receiving a few treatments I became convinced that "there is something
really happening". So I decided to get the first level attunement. A
year later I was initiated to the second level and shortly afterwards
to the Reiki master/teacher level.
Learning
Reiki
One of the things I like most about Reiki is that it is simple to learn
and can be used for self-treatments. After you have been "attuned" -
that is opened to channel the Reiki energy- you can then treat
yourself. Of course you can also give treatments to your friends and
family.
I
generally teach Reiki on a one to one basis. Group classes can also be
arranged, for instance if you have a group of friends that want to
learn Reiki.
Whether you want to get your first initiation to Reiki or whether you
have already been initiated to Reiki and want an attunement to Reiki II
or to the Master's level, feel free to contact me. I'll be happy to
discuss it with you. Prices are not fixed in order to make courses
affordable for everyone. h
