Reiki

REI means Universal
KI means Life Force Energy in Japan, named in India as Prana and in China as Chi.

Reiki is most often described as a light vibration or energy, and Reiki practitioners are said to "channel" it from the universe. The most obvious energy we receive from the sun is sunlight. However, we do not see the whole range of rays contained within sunlight that are known as the "electromagnetic light spectrum". This spectrum contains visible light, radio waves, short waves, microwaves, x-rays, infra-red, ultra violet, gamma rays and cosmic rays and probably others which have been yet discovered or studied by scientists. Reiki might be one of them.

     This electromagnetic spectrum of light bombards earth day and night. Our brains has the ability to filter out or accept and use these very fine vibrations which cannot be seen or heard. The eyes and the sunlight are the tools to collect information but it is proved that many Reiki practitioners have the experience of receiving profound and relevant
information during Reiki treatments.

     Reiki, combining the vibrations of light waves of the universe and the life force energy (what we breath, eat and drink) enables the body to relax and heal, and the mind to become peaceful. Although there are other methods (Tai Chi, Qi Kong) which utilize the life force energy, Reiki appears to be the only method which
consistently, effortlessly and effectively enables us to use it with the spiritual energy.

We will now list all the effects Reiki can have:

REIKI supports the body's natural ability to heal itself
REIKI vitalizes both body and soul
REIKI re-establishes spiritual equilibrium and mental well-being
REIKI functions on all levels, whether mental or spiritual, bodily or emotional
REIKI balances the body's energies
REIKI loosens up blocked energy and promotes a state of total relaxation
REIKI cleanses the body of poisons
REIKI adjusts itself according to the needs of the recipient
REIKI works with animals and plants and
REIKI is an extremely pleasant, holistic method of healing

     Very receptive people often experience Reiki as love. Love is a uniting power which leads us forward to an even greater state of oneness with the whole of creation.

     To practice Reiki, no special kind of faith or belief is required. It is used with the same success by people of many faiths and religions, by free thinkers as well as by the followers of widely differing philosophies and ideologies.

The treatments

     When we treat someone with Reiki, we do this by laying our hands gently on the various parts of the body. We will soon feel a kind of floating sensation, often combined with a sensation of warmth, which can turn into heat or become quite cold. The patient will often feel the flowing noticeable as we do, as well as the sensation of hot and cold. Most Reiki patients begin to relax during treatment and may even fall asleep, but this won't make any difference in the effects of treatment.

On other occasions, old and unresolved experiences may become conscious again. A release of emotions can occur and tears will flow or a laugh of relief will be released. Although we lay our hands on the patient's body in order to link him to the energy of Reiki, it won't merely affect him on the material plane but will involve him in its entity of mind, body and spirit. Body illness or weakness is only the physical expression of a lack of a basic order, a sign of having fallen out of a state of inner union with all life.

     When someone is treated with Reiki, he is brought back into a state of unity with the harmony of the universe. This harmony which is able to reach him in his smallest cells, makes him whole and healthy again, thus encouraging the natural ability of the patient to heal himself. Afterwards we feel happy and physically and spiritually balanced.

     We would also like to mention here that treatment with Reiki can result in the appearance of a slight or more vehement detoxification symptom on the physical level.

     These symptoms are to be regarded as a biologically sensible means of self-regulation. They generally take on the form of increased evacuation of the bowels and bladder and increased mucus secretion in the upper respiratory passages, while a burning watering of the eyes can also occur. Sometimes the ears and skin will exude an increased amount of poisons and waste of products. A short attack of fever or a temporary return of an earlier illness is also possible.

     These occurrences are to be regarded as a valuable means of recovering bodily health and not as a return of illness, representing as they do an absolutely natural cleansing mechanism. These reactions only last a short time and the patient will generally feel all the better for them. They are similar to those symptoms which are known to occur after a long
period of fasting.

energy to resume its inner work of healing"

The Therapist

My arrival in India 5 years ago was as well a big change in my life.First I was very happy to find in Kullu valley my house where I since live and enjoy the space and  the tranquility of the surroundings. Then the  meeting with different Tibetan masters confirmed my determination to develop yoga studies I had started in Europe. Extensive contemplation on their teachings in the space of Mother Nature created a new opening into life and its experiences. I met different Reiki Masters (Hindu and European) who taught me channeling this extraordinary vital Reiki Energy, Healing then took the dimension in my life that I was looking for.

     I am happy to be part of the center in the sense that we are all working towards a better way of life reachable by curing our chronic habitual tendencies and by emphasizing more into relaxation. I feel it is now time to share it with simplicity and honesty with other companions also interested in their physical, mental health.
