Product Description

Reiki is a form of spiritual practice proposed for the treatment of physical, emotional, mental and spiritual diseases. Reiki was developed in early 20th century japan to receive the ability of 'healing without energy depletion'. The name reiki derives from the japanese pronunciation of two chinese characters that are said to describe the energy itself: 'rei' (meaning 'soul', 'spirit' or 'ghost') and ki (chinese qi, meaning breath or 'life force energy' in this context). Reiki is a therapy that the practitioner delivers through the hands, with intent to raise the amount of ki in and around the client, heal pathways for ki, and reduce negative energies. Reiki can be practiced in several ways: on its own, along with conventional medical treatments. In the latter case, reiki is a type of"distant healing." practitioners perform reiki most often in offices, hospitals, clinics, and private homes. The practitioner and client determine the number of sessions together. Typically, the practitioner delivers at least four sessions of 30 to 90 minutes each. Practitioners use a technique similar to the laying on of hands, in which they claim to be channels for energy ("ki") guided by a universal spirit or spiritual nature ("rei") flowing through their palms to heal a person wherever they may need healing. They also believe that if ki's flow is disrupted, the body's functioning becomes disrupted, and health problems can occur. The concept that sickness and disease arise from imbalances in a vital energy field is the foundation not only of reiki but of some other cam therapies, such as traditional chinese medicine (in which the energy is called qi or chi) and homeopathy (vital force). Reiki appears to be generally safe, and serious side effects have not been reported. The person may have symptoms such as a feeling of weakness or tiredness, a headache, or a stomach ache. Reiki practitioners believe that these are effects of the body releasing toxins. They advise the client on how to deal with such symptoms if they occur, such as by getting more rest, drinking plenty of water, or eating a lighter diet.
