What is Reiki?
First, let's talk about what it means.
Reiki (ray-key) is a Japanese word. "Rei" means "universal," and "ki," means "energy." There are many names for this type of energy; the Chinese call it "qi," and the Indian people call it "prana." A modern day comparison to this energy labels it as "The Force" (that's right, Star Wars fans). But The Force is a bit limiting. Reiki energy exists everywhere in infinite supply. Everyone has access to it because we exist in it, it comprises us, and we are connected to it. In the eyes of Reiki energy, no one is special.
Reiki energy strives for balance. When the energy in our bodies is unbalanced, we experience physical, emotional, or mental malady. What causes unbalanced Reiki energy? Well, that’s us. Our emotions, our decisions, our belief systems, our grudges, our history, our unresolved problems… all of this and more causes an unbalanced system. How to correct and unbalanced system? The best way to describe this is that we need to balance our chakras.
Chakras come from Indian religions. They exist in our bodies on a spiritual level, kind of “invisible” to us right now. There are a lot of chakras on our body, but we can just focus on the seven main chakras: the root (base of spine), the sacral (abdominal area), solar plexus (just below the ribcage), the heart (center of chest), the throat (duh), the third eye (between your eyes and just above), and the crown (top of the head). You can imagine how difficult it might be to balance just these seven, let alone the other chakras in our body. Don’t despair. Balancing, healing, and aligning these chakras don’t really take that long to do.
What does Reiki do for us?
Second, the benefits to our bodies and minds.
