Reiki is a form of energy healing. All forms of energy healing access the universal energy, they are just different means of accessing the same energy.

Reiki (pronounced "Ray-Key") is a combination of two Japanese words: Rei, or spiritual wisdom, and Ki, the vital life force. Combined, it translated to be universal life energy, or spiritually guided energy. It was discovered in 1914 by Mikao Usui during an extended fast and meditation on Mt. Kurama. After his experience, he developed a healing system called Usui Shiki Ryoho (the Usui System of Natural Healing). Reiki found its way to the Western world through Mrs. Hawayo Takata, who learned about the system through one of Dr. Usui's students, Dr. Chujiro Hayashi.

There are several wonderful books on the history of Reiki including

* The Spirit of Reiki by Walter Lubec, Frank Arjava Petter, and William Lee Rand
* The Original Reiki Handbook of Dr. Mikao Usui by Dr. Mikao Usui and Frank Arjava Petter
* Reiki, The Healing Touch by William Lee Rand

All forms of energy healing used in this practice access the universal energy. Reiki is one way of accessing that energy, Sekhem-Seichim Reiki (SSR) is another, and the list continues to grow as humans become more perceptive and find new ways to access it. It does not deplete the practitioner's energy or cause the practitioner to take on the client's symptoms.

The practitioner utilizes and directs the universal energy to effect change in a client's energy field, or aura, which empowers the person to use his or her own healing abilities. The practitioner is a facilitator.

A typical energy healing session can be done either in-person, online, over the phone, or even without an electronic or physical connection to the person. As long as permission is given to receive the healing energy, it can be accepted. In the case of someone who is unable to respond, that permission can be granted by asking that person's higher-self.

An important thing to remember is that energy healing will only do what is best for a person's higher good. It does not harm. This is not a substitute for receiving proper medical attention.

There are cases when pain or an illness may become more acute before improving. That is known as a "healing crisis," and it will pass in time. The body is attempting to rid itself of whatever has been causing it distress and that is part of the healing process.

Balancing the energy field facilitates relaxation, calmness, and sets the stage for true healing at many levels.

During the session, the client may feel heat, tingling, coolness, or sometimes nothing as the energy shifts. Overall, most people find it very relaxing.

In addition to Reiki sessions, Amethyst Rose Healing Arts offers Reiki classes. Level 1 provides the basics of energy healing including grounding and protection, importance of intent, self-care, the history of Reiki, and how to conduct healing sessions. Level 2 covers the first three Reiki symbols and includes how to do emotional and distance healing.

Reiki is a wonderful gift to share universal healing love!
