Reiki: Universal Life Force

Reiki is an alternative healing modality that is channeled from the practitioner to the patient to enhance energy and reduce stress, pain, anxiety and fatigue. Reiki is a Japanese word pronounced “ray-key” and it means ‘universal life force energy’. Traditionally, Reiki was discovered by Dr. Mikao Usui, a Japanese educator in the early 1900’s. Reiki came into the United States in the 1970’s.

It is believed that the recipients of a Reiki treatment can draw in healing powers from the practitioner’s laying of hands to help heal problems in the body. The relaxation allows for stress in the client to reduce significantly, thereby allowing the body to repair itself faster and easier. Reiki is used to assist the body in the healing process from illness, injury or even from the side effects of drug therapies. Reiki is also used to alleviate stress and enhance deeper states of consciousness.

Reiki is not a form of religious healing, which means almost anyone can learn the practice of Reiki, no matter your intellect, culture, or religion.  

Reiki is a simple modality that is first and foremost helping the person that just learned it. When you learn Reiki, you are giving yourself the gift of a conscious awakening within you.

Reiki comes in three classes; Reiki Level One, Reiki Level Two and Reiki Master. Reiki Level One gives you the background of Reiki, the ability to do Reiki and an invocation that opens up the energy centers in your body to allow the universal energy to flow through you effortlessly. You can do Reiki on yourself, family, pets, plants and friends.  

Once you learn Reiki Level One you can choose to come back and take Reiki Level Two. This class will give you symbols that were passed down from Reiki Master to Student which helps to focus the life force energy in a deeper way. You will also get another invocation for your energy centers which will infuse and support the symbols that are passed on to you.  

Reiki Master Class is for those that choose to gain all the knowledge of Reiki and want to get the last symbol and be able to teach Reiki to others.

I have been teaching Reiki for 13 years and I am going to teach my first Los Angeles Reiki Level One Class on Sunday, May 19^th from 10 to 4. If you are interested in taking this class please send me a message at todd@healingguy.com.  My classes are small and I only take 5 to 8 students per class.
