What is Reiki?  ("Energy Therapy")

Reiki (pronounced "ray-key") also known as "Energy Therapy" or "Vibrational Medicine" is an ancient healing system that involves transmitting healing energy through the hands.  It is performed by placing the hands in a series of hand positions over the body of the person receiving the treatment and is known to clear energy blockages in the body.  Reiki can also be performed on pets, plants, products, and more.  In order to learn how to channel the energy, a student receives three degrees of training and attunements (a form of initiation) from a Reiki Master/Teacher. 

The attunements open and clear the student's energy channels to increase life force energy.  The attunements are what set Reiki apart from all other forms of healing touch or "laying on" of hands.  Once a student has mastered the third degree of Reiki, he/she may also be ready to teach.  It is easy to integrate Reiki into our daily lives and into many professions, such as massage and skin care.  Reiki is neither a religion, nor is it affiliated with any religion.  It is a proven method for stress reduction and improving overall health.  Enroll in Reiki training today--your satisfaction is guaranteed!

Essential Reiki

In the very recent past, Reiki instruction was very exclusive and expensive ($10,000 for the Master Program).  Thanks to people like Diane Stein, a leading voice in the Reiki field and the author of "Essential Reiki" (the textbook that is included in our Reiki Integration Workshops), some Reiki classes are now reasonably priced.  We at Reiki The Way refer to this affordable modern Reiki as  "Essential Reiki."  In much the same way that alternative therapies were once the traditional therapies, Essential Reiki is the latest evolutionary step in the age-old Reiki tradition.

"More Cancer Centers and Doctors Encouraging the Use of Reiki"

By Jack Bleeker, April 2010

Excerpt from Article:

            "Like many complementary therapies, Reiki takes a holistic approach -  treating mind, body, and spirit - and is safe and natural.  Many cancer patients who have tried it note an overall feeling of peace, relaxation, and well-being when the treatment is complete.  Totally non-invasive, Reiki therapy involves the laying of hands on the fully-clothed patient by the Reiki practitioner.  His/her hands travel through 12 different positions, staying in each place for about 5 minutes for a total of about an hour per treatment.  The feeling of invigoration or tranquility results from the fact that Reiki causes the body's molecules to vibrate at a higher intensity, hence, dissolving energy blockages that lead to disharmony and disease, Reiki masters note.  This assists in controlling pain, easing stress, or lessening side effects of traditional treatments like chemotherapy, including nausea and other debilitating problems.  It is also believed to improve immune function."
