Here goes...
Reiki was founded by Dr Mikao Usui (1865-1926) - His story is a great one and can be found here.
Reiki is an ancient healing method that allows the practitionner to channel universal life energy through his/her palms to a receiver by placing the hands on or over the receipient's body. This balances the energy centers int he body (chakras) - removes imbalances in energy thus, very often providing healing of dis-eases. The energy always goes where it is needed most so all the practitionner has to do is send positive intentions of healing, place his/her hands over the body of the recipient, and let "it" flow.
There are 4 levels in Reiki:
Level 1 - mostly physical healing
Level 2 - Mental / emotional / distance level healing - (more energy is channelled)
Level 3/Master - spiritual healing - (even more energy is channelled)
Master/teacher - (even more energy is channelled and the practitionner can now attune others to Reiki)
Reiki is "taught" by a master/teacher by giving an attunement. This activates the universal energy in the body and activates the channelling of this energy for healing purposes. During the attunement, the person receiveing it also gets "cleansed" and balanced to allow for better channelling.
Nothing negative can come out of reiki as is is intended for healing, if one was to try to use Reiki with bad intentions, it simply would not work.
Reiki is NOT a religioin/cult in any way/shape/form. All that is needed is for you to receive an attunement (given during a weekend training workshop). You do not have to beleive in anything specific other than Reiki obviously (If you dont beleive in it, why would you get attuned to it? Right?) and of course, beleive in yourself!
The ONE rule I was taught to abide to was to NEVER send Reiki to anyone without their permission (it wont work as this makes it invasive). And you have to live by the 5 Reiki principles (below)....which guide you to a positive way of life.
This is just scratching the surface as I could have written a book about it (as many already have)...I certainly hope it clarified a bit about the subject.
If you have any comments/questions, feel free to ask.
Thanks for taking the time for reading this.
