+ The syllables rei and ki come from Japan, meaning “universal energy”. Reiki is a healing art using the hands to transmit natural energy to the patient. Practicing reiki may be beneficial in relieving physical discomforts. It's a therapeutic discipline that treats the body holistically, or as one entity, including the physical body, emotions, mind and spirit, in such a way that it doesn't only remove a pathology but tries to harmonize the body's natural balance to bring well-being and happiness.

PRINCIPLES OF REIKI

This thousand year old technique was rediscovered or researched in the 18th century by Japanese doctor Milkao Usui, who meditated on and synthesized the five principles of reiki, especially for the well-being of all humans:

  1. • Just for today I will not be angry.
  2. • Just for today I will not worry.
  3. • Earn your living honestly.
  4. • Honor your parents, teachers and elders.
  5. • Show gratitude to every living thing.

ESSENTIAL FOR REIKI

The essence of reiki is the energy of love. This is why giving or receiving reiki opens healing energy. This discipline has been defined as energy as large as radio waves, because it can be applied with direct contact or from afar. It is a harmless energy, without side effects. This is an effective complementary therapy. The skill of healing through reiki can only be received through a teacher; you don't need any previous knowledge, but you need to be open to giving or receiving the energy.
